Fred Vom Jupiter And Covers
Fred Vom Jupiter is one of my favorite - if not the favorite - song from the german part of the New Wave era. it has everything postpunk and new wave is for me: a minimalistic approach, a wonderful melody, a futuristic theme and feel, and is not afraid of being also a bit corningly cheesy. i should also add, to explain this track, the german new wave scene had a dose of ultra-nihilism, which showed itself in an - in a true dada way - "childish" approach to music. if we want to revolutionize the music world, why not show the ultimate disrespect by making lofi tunes with childish harmonies and content? this critique of the artworld was, of course, lost to the general public, which then elevated this tune to a real "hit", selling very very well and receiving plenty of airplay. the story itself about this track is somewhat foggy: the offical version is that it was actually result of a school project, which then the teenage andreas dorau submitted to a new wave label, without telling his teacher, resulting in the aforementioned hit. this story sounds a bit too-good-to-be-true, so think of it as you want. but now get ready for Fred Vom Jupiter by Andreas Dorau.

Omar Santana - The 1984 Beats And Pieces

"Thought to be lost forever, I discovered an actual high quality MA-XG TDK cassette I recorded from Omar's original Master Ampex Reel which was made in the early months of 1984, exactly 30 years ago today. Multiple Editing was an integral part of 80's Dance Music and even though it was The Latin Rascals who made splicing tape popular in the early 80's, it was Omar Santana who took editing to another level which was never duplicated by anyone. And this mix is the proof.
I spent most of my weekends in Omar's lab in Hollis, Queens in 1984 and we figured out the formula for tape moving at 15 inches per second X 120 BPM's = 7.5 inches per beat. With this formula, splicing tape became an art, everything was in perfect time and kicks could be replaced by snares and repeated in machine gun fashion,
This is Electronic Dance Music being created in the beginning when technology was at it's birth."
