Yello - Lost Again (Greg Wilson Edit) 2005/1983



Greg Wilson influential DJ from Manchester with his take on Switzerlands best export hit
next to DJ Bobo: Yello. Probably best known for their amazingly fast rapped Bostich Yello
were far ahead of their time. Also a definite buy recommendation as especially in Europe Yello records can be shot for little money. The lost again one I found for amazingly cheap € 1 from an East-Berliner library selling out its vinyls - Interesting as they had a lot of western records even from pre wall-down times.

Newcleus - Automan 1984



Invariable my favourite Newcleus track and original to the German techno-pop veterans.
No not scooter: Snap of course and their well adapted sample in Rythm is a dancer.
Automan is pretty slow and the vocal A-side not quite match peoples listening habits on todays
dancefloors. But as I hope this gets passed around one can play this outstanding piece of music to a crowd again.
Please love it as I do !

Royalclash - Radioactivity 1983



There is not much I can write about this post people apart from the fact that I bought this record about 5 years ago in an antique record shop in West-Berlin. The shop is really fantastic as its packed up to the roof (that`s so germish) with records and the guy who runs it is far in his seventies. He also has a very unique way of archiving his vinyl. When I first discovered it I found myself in there for a whole day and after the guy realised I was mostly looking for disco records he showed me the room he stored the stuff he assembles as "black" . Well It definitely was and maybe still is a place to dig, cause I just recently read an article in Berlin`s biggest city magazine praising it to be so. It might be childish but after that, I thought I would not go there anymore -we`ll see as one can change. If you had told me years ago I would share my trophies like this I would have called him crazy.
Ah, Radioactivity might be too cheesy to some ears and it certainly drags on, but I miss out the way vocals could grovenize a track in a great amount of nowadays music and I see a lot of cue points for You digital Djs out there.
