"IDM" House vs. "Proper" House (1 matching message)
Moodymann has a few songs in this vein but I think he concentrates much more on these deep, deep drones in his music. I think the ultimate Moodymann track is his remix on Ferox (End of the Road by Russ Gabriel?). The track starts with a single gorgeous piano chord that takes about five seconds to decay. This chord is repeated again and again over a kick/hi-hat garage beat. Lots of other Moodymann tracks use these warm, hissy, fuzzed-out samples which gradually taper off into the mix. Basic Channel via Detroit?

i'd call the material on the ferox label "Rainforest" in the sense that it's basically artcore techno, though instead of the fragile degenerate synths you had this super-perky ultra-discrete synthwork. that and extra shuffliness makes lots of the ferox catalog fall closer to proto-microhouse, though if you're still interested the "techno soul" compilations and russ gabriel's early-to-mid catalog will probably suit you fine.

ferox 1996! claude young dropping tech-house tracks that are as glitchy / shuffly / dubby / good as anything on bis neun or smallville (though admittedly with a much different take on the style). and they even had pictures of tiny cute five year old kids on the cover! how's that for a SMALLVILLE? and you want me to believe microhouse is somehow opposed to detroit techno?-- vahid (vfoz...), January 8th, 2004.

ok one more before i shut up. this is from the mighty ferox label, britain, 1995. um i think he was trying to rip off carl craig but he ends up sounding like a less-motorik and more-jazzy superpitcher instead.paul hannah - wake up to the source (russ gabriel remix) (yousendit.com)

a couple of russ gabriel tracks i like a lot are "the routine" off of his "voltage control" album for input neuron musique / GPR (very jazzy in a herbie hancock mwandishi sense) and also "electric mistress" which is basically a screwed-down dubby tribal acid techno track from the too funk "the return of too funk" single on ferox

can we do a search and destroy or pox or whatever? i am currently listening to the ferox classics 12" on the pariter label and feel the urge to dig deeper. all three tracks just sound like straight classics, really raw and jacking

I think I've I've only heard the Blue Arsed Fly and Ian O'Brien tracks on Ferox, but they're both worth checking out. Quite far apart from each other though, BAF is the sort of raw, agressive stuff you describe, whereas the Ian O'Brien tunes are dreamy, jazzy techno, a bit like early Banco de Gaia but less trancey.

start w/ "adventures in techno soul" and "further adventures in techno soul".

Neil Ollivierra's elegant Soundtrack (313) and Ian O'Brien's derivative but impeccable Desert Scores are real album-oriented techno gems, just not representative of the harder banging 12" side of the Ferox Label. both of the Adventures comps are crucial. i think Russ Gabriel has done better work than the Fusion singles. the Bjørn Torske and Rei Mitsui never really clicked for me but both are still fine tech-house albums. either could have been on Paper, Reel, Shield or one of the other fussy "art-house" labels of the day. Idiot Savant LP sounds like its worth checking out. great to hear that Ferox is back in action.
