ARMANDO - 100% DISSIN YOU


YouTube via Chicagomack1. "ARMANDO CLASSIC HOUSE" sent my way via Andrew.
One more classic: Classic House-Maurice Joshua (This is Acid)
I'd post it but embedding is disabled. Anyone know what synths were used on these tracks. I'm guessing the Roland Alpha Juno (1 or 2), but who knows. Definitely brings back memories. The odd thing is I was just talking to some co-workers about arcades in the 80s. I commented on how there was a certain feel to them that have been completely lost - it's a lost phenomenon. After hearing these tracks I realiz the rave scene in the late 80s and early 90s captured a similar feel. I remember going to them. Like Disney on acid.

    Totally what I think of when I think House music, but its "classic" now :( Sounds like made on a sampler, or from a sample kit, or standard rom based drum kit. 808/909 kits with car horn, screems, james brown, helicopter, etc. SFX, we all recognize these sounds pretty well now I'd think, or at least I do. Nobody seems to use them like that tho now days.

    That stab sound was sampled from a Todd Terry record, if my memory serves right.

    main is just a 808, rest samples. Todd Tery "A day in a life" had the stab sound (but also sampled from elsewhere...). The record also has a remarkable acid classic on it, "151", manic 303 action.

    hi, came over here by a google search for the todd terry famous stab-sound. the "original" source is, what i found so far, a mid-80s pop group "sequal" (with "A"!) - "theres more to love". go on their myspace site and play the second song. link:

    @manfred: Cool to see other people are also hunting for the result, but afaik the Sequal song "There's more to love" on their myspace is a version from 2008 and the only release so far... So probably this wasn't the first use :)

    In their old 80s tracks I hear the orch5 sound, indicating they used a fairlight back in the days.. i scanned through the fairlight sample library for it without any result though :(

    Think I found it (at least partly)!!

    In Marshall Jefferson's "Move Your Body" there's a lot of piano playing, probably coming from a sampled piano (Fairlight, EMU?) that sometimes sounds really ordinary 'honky tonk', but at certain chords / tones exactly that "House stab" sound.

    Listen to this on 2:57: this is the note that is sampled, right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2t0C50b9ik
