DiKSO Tape 01 - Terrence Parker (1996)



History... We all know about the almighty creators of electronic music. They were important for everyone even though we did not know them in their time. In most cases they have not influenced us in a direct way but for sure they did. These stories have been written countless times and you all know them.

What I want to talk about are the direct influences and inspirations. Do you remember when friends took you to your first techno party? Or your bigger brother who had a huge record collection you was lurking when he was at school? Sometimes there were small and simple things that could lead you in a completly different direction. Like a mixtape and this is what DiKSO Tape is about.

The first issue in this new DiKSO section is a tape that I have listened more than a hundred times. It is a recording of an (for me) unknown radio show from Detroit with DJ extraordinaire Terrence Parker from the mid nineties.

Disco House was not that new in 1996 and already the big thing in my hometown Hannover but this tape was different. Terrence Parker combined the old and the new in a way that elaborated and pointed out the historical connection of disco, italo and house. Okay, the heavy scratch and transformer action is not everybody's cup of tea but it's fun, fun, fun! So, this is how a simple but special mixtape became the inspiration for me to collect soul, funk and disco and search for the history of house music in a time house music wasn't even born.

Sa. 24.04.2010 - DiKSO 2 @ Süss War Gestern




DiKSO blog... DiKSO podcasts... DiKSO edits... what's next? A DiKSO app? A DiKSO TV show? DiKSO potholders?

No, it's the DiKSO night @ Berlin's "Süss War Gestern" that completes the DiKSO package! Again, Marc Poppcke and Andi de Luxe open their musical box of pandora and invited the brand new label signing from "Sleazy Beats Records": Daniel Solar. Come by, grab one of a billion sofas and have some drinks with us. See ya!



DiKSO! DiKSO? Ja, DiKSO... Kein Schreibfehler!

Schon irgendwie Disko, aber auch nicht wirklich. Klingt wie Disko sieht aber aus wie House... oder Minimal... oder Techno... Diskoästhetik in minimalistischem Gewande, DiKSO...

Bewaffnet mit eigenen Tracks und Edits treiben MARC POPPCKE und ANDI DE LUXE sowie DANIEL SOLAR, ihr heutiger Gast aus dem Hause SLEAZY BEATS, Diskopuristen und Musiktraditionalisten in den Wahnsinn. Was auf den ersten Blick wohlvertraut scheint, entpuppt sich schon nach wenigen Beats als etwas völlig anderes. Nichts ist heilig, alles ist erlaubt. Und Ernst wird mit Jägermeister abgefüllt. Achtung, 130 BPM werden heute ganz bestimmt nicht erreicht...


DiKSO 2 - Sat., 24.04.2010

Lineup - Daniel Solar (Sleazy Beats Records), Marc Poppcke (Freerange Records) & Andi de Luxe (Mezzomatic)

Entry - free

Drinks - cheap & spicy

Location - Süss War Gestern, Wühlischstr. 43, 10245 Berlin-Friedrichshain

DiKSO Podcast 03 - Marc Poppcke

Let me tell you something about Marc Poppcke. Don't panic, I won't start with "how it all began", even though i could. And I don't want to tell you about his recent releases on ultracool labels like Jimpster's Freerange Records. And for sure I will not mention his international DJ gigs.

No, I will tell you about a guy that has always been this and that. Of course it's all about four to the floor, he even wrote an assignment about this fact. But sometimes it's house, sometimes it's techno and it's even trance. And this time it's disco. Or is it disco house? Minimal disco? Slowmo trance? Who cares? Marc doesn't! Everytime you thought you got him he is up for something more.

Be aware, this is nothing for purists (und das ist auch gut so!), here is DiKSO podcast number three...
