    This track was MAJOR in just about all settings. You were sure to hear it at the black gay clubs on the East Coast (Tracks DC; it was a sick runway beat); at NASA, Satellite, Fever, Sunday Mass, etc.; at the cooler white gay spots; at Hispanic club parties; and to some extent mixed-race, straight club parties (Club USA, Tunnel, Paladium, Sound Factory Bar, etc.) At the time, the older househeads thought of this as a "warehouse party record." So basically, this track killed it in just about every context. It was so SICK when this dropped! XOXO & HMANL!

    This was on the very first DJ mix tape I ever heard. Every time I hear this track, it brings me back and all the memories that go with it and that whole tape. It was done by a local DJ and had this, Ege Bam Yasi - Bubble, and Dubtribe's Mother Earth being my 3 favorites off that mix. Up until that point, I had never heard any music like it (had been into DM, Cure, Smiths, etc) but House/Trance, Techno,etc. was all completely new to me. I was absolutely sucked into it and could not get enough. I was doing some extra work getting a tattoo shop prepared to open and some guy was listening to that tape one day when after the first side was over I had to ask what it was. He asked if I wanted it and of course I said yes. Hearing one song after another it just kept getting better and better. I can't recall how often I used to listen to that mix but many nights were spent smoking and putting on the headphones to listen to it before I would go to bed.
    At least a decade ago now, I lost that tape. Of all the CD mixes I have heard over the years, It is definitely one that I treasured the most and sadly it is irreplaceable. The mix was so well done and flowed so well that I stil consider it one of the best mixes I have heard all these years.
    I still love listening to this song but at the same time really miss how it would flow into the next song on that mix. Either way, this is one of those timeless and memorable tracks for me.

    A small dark room with a single strobe overhead illuminating the small crowd on the dancefloor, it's flickering light almost making the ravers seem like they're animated. 'In The Dark We Live' pounding it's analogue rhythm hypnotically, this isn't uplifting or joyful, it's devoid of any emotion but it's cadence speaks to the floor and floor reacts - what a time to be alive!

    • @shoominati23
      @shoominati23 7 лет назад

      re-engineered just means they'll add a heap of compression to it so it will sit right in the middle of the frequency range.. I think the charm of old vinyl is because it sounds so dynamic, even though most of it had minimal mastering and it was lucky / ideal that it was all mastered straight to vinyl and sounded beautiful on sound systems

    • @johnnytluxury
      @johnnytluxury 7 лет назад

      By re-engineered, I meant remixed. My bad. But you're a bit off with re-engineering. RE by classical definition would yes mean compression and lots of it, but that's due to the genre of music where RE was applied to most - early rock and pop. Music of those days was performed, and it would be too hard to get the SAME sound as the original. The masters are completed recordings, not individual tracks. RE went only so far, as if a band were to attempt to recreate the song or album, it would sound different due to different equipment and what not. Dance music, an entirely different animal. This track was mainly samples, played by an old-school sampler (Akai s-950, if I'm correct). Its way to easy to redo the track with modern means and it would sound much better. However, TOO much modernization would diminish its dusty hard sound.
      Funny you would say vinyl sounds more dynamic, as it is very much not. It's piss poor compared to CD and worse compared to modern digital tracks. Even mp3s have better dynamic range. Cassettes had better dynamic range. But vinyl sounds good, mainly due to that analog warmth that enables us to turn shit up, way past its clipping limits and it sounded better.
