Disco Dance6, 1989 The Force Dimension LP By DJ Murderhouse

Disco Dance6, 1989 The Force Dimension LP By DJ Murderhouse

THE FORCE DIMENSION: "The Force Dimension" (Various BPM) (LP/CD KK Records, Belgium Import)This is a Dutch product that we have to import from Belgium! Hard electro-disco rhythms combined with accessible vocals and melodies, merged into seven solid, danceable tracks. Created by two young guys who haven't even turned twenty yet, which promises a lot for the future! Their music is rooted in bands like Front 242 and The Klinik. Although most tracks are dance-friendly, I recommend "Tension" (122 BPM) and […]

Disco Dance6, 1989 Frontline Assembly – Gashed Senses & Crossfire By DJ Murderhouse

FRONTLINE ASSEMBLY: "Gashes, Senses & Crossfire" (LP/CD Third Mind, UK import)The Canadian artist Bill Leeb, who recently did a short tour in the Netherlands, has his roots in Skinny Puppy. This influence was clearly evident in his project Frontline Assembly, which has been around for several years now. However, this new LP is significantly more accessible than his previous releases, something he attributes to using a better studio. The album includes the 12" "Digital Tension Dementia" (118 BPM), along with […]

Disco Dance6, 1989 Vomito Negro – Shock By DJ Murderhouse

VOMITO NEGRO: "Shock" (LP KK Records, Belgium import)With their debut LP, the Belgian duo Vomito Negro aims to shock. However, as a fan of Electronic Body Music (EBM), I'm quite used to edgy material, so titles like "No Hope No Fear" (120 BPM), "Erection" (120 BPM), and "Baby Needs Crack" (110 BPM) no longer surprise me. Their music is intense and dark, definitely not suited for the average dance floor. But it's likely to be a hit in more niche […]

Disco Dance6, 1989 A.Z.A.P. – Le Marechal By DJ Murderhouse

A.Z.A.P.: "Le Marechal" 121 BPM (12” Belgian import)This is yet another one of those numerous Belgian studio productions. A.Z.A.P. stands for As Zaire As Possible. Zaire, of course, is the former Belgian colony now known as Congo. The music on this 12-inch leans somewhat toward the new beat style. What stands out here are the French-language samples from Mugabe or Mobutu, which are particularly original and amusing. It's a refreshing change from the usual Martin Luther King or Kennedy samples. […]

Disco Dance6, 1989 XYMOX – Twist Of Shadows By DJ Murderhouse

XYMOX: "Twist of Shadows" div. BPM (LP/CD Wing Records, Polydor)(Clan of) Xymox is an Amsterdam-based band that's been around for a while and is more well-known abroad than in their home country. They've released two albums on the UK label 4AD, and this LP is only available in the Netherlands due to their contract with Polygram in the U.S. In the U.S., their track "Obsession," in its extended 12-inch mix, is doing well on the Billboard Dance charts. The LP […]

Disco Dance6, 1989 KMFDM – More & Faster By DJ Murderhouse

KMFDM: "More & Faster" 129 BPM (12" Cash Beat, import Germany).Intense electronic body music from Germany, created with the help of master mixer Adrian Sherwood. As a result, everything on this record literally pounds. Side A features two versions of the title track. The first has been given a slight reggae touch by Sherwood, with the guitar being subtly dubbed. The second version sounds much more metallic and straightforward, showcasing the influence of FM Einheit from Einstürzende Neubauten. In short, […]

Disco Dance6, 1989 Renegade Soundwave – The Phantom By DJ Murderhouse

RENEGADE SOUNDWAVE: "The Phantom (It's In There)" 128 BPM (12" Mute, Indisc).To my delight, the fourth 12-inch release from the English trio Renegade Soundwave has suddenly appeared. Both tracks are surprisingly entirely instrumental. Essentially, they are hard-hitting rhythm tracks with minimal fuss. The A-side features some vague vocals from what sounds like an African tribe, mixed with occasional distorted funk sounds. The B-side kicks off with an original announcement, followed by a heavy thumping beat with loads of funky samples […]

Disco Dance6, 1989 Noise Control – My Fight By DJ Murderhouse

NOISE CONTROL: "My Fight" 119 BPM (12" Zoth Ommog, West Germany import).Following Nostromo Dept. (as mentioned last month), it's now Noise Control's turn. This track also comes from the stable of former TDI member Talla 2XLC. It's solid electro-disco, resulting in an extremely danceable track. The fast, uncontrollable sequence loops, combined with a beat that thunders through your speakers, make it a standout. Noise Control is a must in more progressive discos.https://youtu.be/ZVbc2tsVTcI

Disco Dance6, 1989 Alien Sex Fiend – Haunted House By DJ Murderhouse

ALIEN SEX FIEND: "Haunted House" 120 BPM (12" Plague/Anagram Records, UK import). Nik Fiend attempts to combine new dance with a touch of house on "Haunted House." This single is taken from the recently released LP/CD Another Planet and is more suited for the dancefloor. Filled with various sound effects and samples, including the famous "Oh Yeah," all backed by a pounding beat, it creates a lively track. There are two mixes, each over seven minutes long, with the dub […]
