(DEEP TRIBAL AFRO HOUSE) Anthony Shake Shakir Meets BBC – Oni Ayhun


Tribal, Earthy, Organic House music from Oni — all-original, no samples — and a stonking tribal Detroit thumper from the master Anthony Shake Shakir.
Expect a solid dose of quality  house sounds like this as Anthony Shake Shakir  will be  throwing down some deeper deetroit vibes next weekend thanks one of the Sydney party crews still flying the flag for the “Detroit” Electronic Soul sounds.

Detroit producer Anthony “Shake” Shakir is one of the more under recognized, underappreciated names in American techno. A bedroom producer since 1981, Shake had an important role in helping shape the early Motor City sound associated with artists such as Juan Atkins/Model 500 and Derrick May. He worked with May and Carl Craig as a producer, writer, or engineer on several early tracks on Metroplex, and worked in management and A&R for the label (as well, he’s often joked, as being the janitor) during its formative years. His first solo material appeared on Virgin’s seminal Techno Sound of Detroit compilation, under the name Sequence 10. Known as something of a techno purist, Shake has distanced himself from the European scene many of his colleagues have turned to for support (this accounts somewhat for his continuing obscurity), and his music is stylistically closer to second wave artists such as Mike Banks and Claude Young – hard, stripped-down tracks which owe equally to techno, electro, hip-hop, and funk.

Shake’s visibility and reputation have risen in more recent years as a result of his Frictional and Puzzlebox labels, the latter of which he formed in 1996 with fellow Detroit electro/techno producer Keith Tucker (formerly of Aux 88). Releasing a series of records both solo and in combination (usually under the name Da Sampla), Shake and Tucker’s Puzzlebox has, along with Underground Resistance and Guidance, become one of the more coveted sources of straight-up, no-bones Detroit techno.

Thanks to Rush Hour Records – the “Shake” has had a new lease on life and with the amazing compliation – “Frictionalism” earlier in 2010, this sky rocketed Shakir back into the scene.

This is Anthony first time in Australia and we are very excited to be able to show case his talents. Anthony amazing production plus his amazing energy and DJ skills behind the decks will make this a very special night.

Along side Anthony we have Joe Stanley and Daniel Lupica.

(Deep House,Techno): Omar – I’m Feeling You. Feat. Stevie Wonder (Edits & Remixes)


The vocals of one of the hottest Soul music voices Omar reworked with the studio skills on the one and only Heinrik Schwarz. One of the finest moments in soulful electronic music of the last couple of years.

Age Of Love – Age Of Love (Rare Original 1990 Version) Vs Age of Love – Age of Love (Jam & Spoon Remix)


I suppose the remix of this is well known but this is the Original version out before the well known Jam & Spoon Remix which came out two years after.  It is considered an electronic masterpiece and can be considered as the first techno-trance record ever. It was composed by Bruno Sanchioni, the man behind Diki ‘s best releases like Plexus, Dr. Phibes or the legendary Bazz. He released great records from the french/belgian border city of Mouscron opening the door to a whole new genre.

CLASSIC DETROIT HOUSE: Theo Parrish – Falling Up (Carl Craig Remix) Vs Theo Parrish – Falling Up (Original)


Theo Parrish – Falling Up (Carl Craig Remix)

When two of the great musical minds of Detroit Techno & House come together it is always going to be special isn’t it. Carl Craig completely stripped the original Theo Parrish cut “Falling Up” and packed it with everything from Jazz Keys, padded synthesizers and white noise like only he can. This is an absolute killer reworking that has been a favorite for us and on dance floors around Sydney for years.

And just to give you an idea of how much of  Carl Craig put into this, just check out the original version below;

DETROIT DEEP AFRO HOUSE,HI TECH SOUL: Theo Parrish – Children of the Drum Feat. Jerry The Cat


Theo Parrish

Organic Afro Percussion rhythms played by Detroit Percussionist, DJ and Producer Jerry The Cat, Dubbed out poetic vocals & Theo Parrish‘s signature mixing skills = Deep House Bliss.

For me this is defiantly a Theo Parrish cut that should be getting its proper dues by the ”children of the drum” & the cats making them dance in clubs and warehouse spaces.
