a more recent one, with a bit of a side story: Holden was playing this at least since 2009 (I remember going crazy with a friend of mine trying to find out what it was, and then going even crazier because it was never going to be released apparently!), so when it finally came out it was a bit disappointing because:

  • it wasn’t on BComm
  • it was digital-only
  • most of all, the original tempo was not at 128-ish as played by Holden in his sets but more sped up, making you lose the textures and the fragility in the melody structure, which was its real beauty (my opinion, of course)

…so here’s the “original” Teenager by Ricardo Tobar :cowboy_hat_face:

One of my fav PSB tracks. Thanks for posting this. I actually really dig it at this speed. May try +6 myself and see what a bit more pep gives it.

Pink Project - Voice of independence … played @ 33.

Rico & Special AKA - Rasta Call You @ 33 for easy skanking groove. Heard it on a Baldelli tape and have used it --funky as hell.

EFAB Sound is a gold mine. Tons of cosmic wrong-speeders. What I would give to have been in Italy for those parties in the early 80s.

Alex Reece’s Chill Pill, B side of the D n B classic Pulp Fiction, sounds nice & suitably chill on 33.

I’m on an absolutely cosmic rampage RN so this is a timely thread.

This is absolutely stunning and haunting to me. I have a home made edit/mashup with it and an obscure DAF instrumental track that I did for an upcoming mix, and it just sounds so sinister.

A recent-ish one.
Discodromo & Massimiliano Pagliara - Costellazione K78

Slowed down to 33, sounds like a Mushrooms Project style groove. Great!
