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 My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult – Some Have To dance By DJ Murderhouse

MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT: "Some Have To Dance... Some Have To Kill" (12” Wax Trax, Boudisque)This is the second maxi-single from the American group with the almost unpronounceable name. A few months ago, they surprised enthusiasts with their impressive debut LP "I See Good Spirits And I See Bad Spirits." The B-side track of this 12", "The Devil Does Drugs" (112 BPM), is a remix from that album. The A-side, "Nervous Xians" (125 BPM), is brand new, […]

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 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

New Release: Ciccone Youth – Into The Groovey, Disco Dance 1987

Ciccone Youth: 'Into the Groovey' BPM 120 (12" Blast First, UK). Since this record emerged a few months ago as an obscure American 7", it has been a favorite of mine. Now, it is also available as a 12" (in the same version) and, therefore, a bit more accessible. For true Madonna fans, this rendition of 'Into the Groove' will be downright tormenting. Siccone Youth (the New York group Sonic Youth) has created a version with lots of threatening and […]
