As I promised to a handful of readers of the shituationist institute who follow me on facebook , I was about to post something really special today , celebrating the 3rd year old birthday of this blog. I realized recently that the new generation of ravers and contemporary music followers in some point totally ignore the past years of the scene. Therefore i have searched and found few exclusive radio shows on the berlin radio in the beginning of the 90s named dancehall by the well known to older generation of ravers “Marusha”.
Marusha remains in my opinion part of the essential times of the rave explosion , her name will remain connected with the years of rave counter-commodity culture , temporary liberated zones and certainly with the Love Parade. Unfortunately You cant download the files besides the last one which is only 8 min, but you can probably find something by searching on the web. cheers

Excerpts from 1996′ French documentary Universal Techno featuring Juan Atkins & Derrick May. Extend a description of the Detroit scene as well as the music progress through the concept of some of the greatest techno artists of that time. Besides techno scene and discussion you could find an interesting view of the big US metropolis , the life conditions and depressing environment. Somehow Juan Atkins put some efforts to analyse the reasons , why techno growed so fast the previous decades there. With no doubt this film is absolutely spectacular , a good introduction for those who are interest on the history of techno in the states and beyond. This post is also part of our efforts , documenting artists and music from the early beginning of the contemporary electronic history.
This is a very beautiful , fully of positivity, interview by a classic avantgarde artist by the first generation of electronic music producers , Derrick may remains an essential artist till our days. The interview taken in Belgrade , actually i liked the thoughts of Derrick concerning the crowd in the eastern part of Europe , drug culture and technology as well as the message to new artists . This is a first post dedicated to Derrick may , next weeks I will post a complete tribute to his music and discography and history
Roll TV – Drum and Bass TV show in New Zealand featuring Charlie B, Billy Fluid and DJ Funkshun. Im posting it today for archive reasons recorded at 2007 actually a quite funny video , they seem pretty wasted
Armando Gallup , 15 years after his death of leukemia in 1996 , remains one of the topest artists in electronic music history. Armando is definitely one of those most important early contributors to the acid house and electronic music development.
The afro Cuban(origins) dj and producer lived in Chicago US. Chicago one of the American metropolis, where house music was emergent in the 90s. Armando Gallop can easily considered as one of the most influential artists of Chicago as well as within the history of electronic music . He counts a number of good tracks(singles) , often defined as “killers” , furthermore some of them became big hits both in the US and UK such as the “151″ and “land of Confusion”. Armando together with Mike Dunn were also the founders of warehouse and musique records in 1988 , two well-known labels to the people who followed or were part of the acid house movement in the late 80s , certainly responsible for the genre’s development.
Instead of production Armando rather focused on djing especially the years 92-94 at Chicago’s warehouse. Armando released only one full-length album , the legendary “one world one future” in 1996 on play it again Sam records , actually few months before his death. Currently some of his fans and the community people in Chicago are putting efforts to keep Armando’s memory in public consciousness as well as save his recordings which many of them Im afraid are already lost. You can read an extend article concerning the life and music of Armando by Terry Matthew for 5 magazine of Chicago . “5″ is magazine concerning house music with recent updates (February 2011) from his life , creativity years , his recordings etc.
Even if Armando is dead , hopefully his music will remain alive. Basically many people still think that his music is inspiring , few months ago for instance I was at a party and suddenly I recognized that the dj was playing couple of his tracks together with Jeff mills and so on. Some of those tracks you can find bellow this brief presentation article dedicated in the memory of a legend , the legend called Armando Gallop.
151 ( probably one of the best acid house tracks ever made)
Land of Confusion (acid house-Label-Westbrook Records catalog#:AG – WB 4 format vinyl 12″ US 1988 mixed by Armando Gallop)
From the album ONE WORLD ONE FUTURE on Radikal Fear 1996
