Now listening:

Ad Finité by Genaside II 1999 Breakbeat / Trip Hop

Genaside II might sound like the name of a reincarnated death metal band that'd previously been forced to dissolve because its former lead singer once found a way to invent and commit a new type of war crime, but it was actually a breakbeat, rave, and hardcore group from Brixton, UK whose "Narra Mine" ended up being sampled by The Prodigy for "Firestarter"—which was something that they actually never received any official credit for 👀.

And they never seemed to gain much of a following either, despite being around since pretty much the beginning of drum break-based dance music in the early 90s. Neither Genaside II's proper 1996 debut LP that featured Wu-Tang Clan affiliate Cappadonna and reggae stalwart Eek-A-Mouse, nor their 1999 follow-up that was released on Tricky's Durban Poison label, seemed to generate any fanfare.

But the reason why I'm giving their second album a listen is because of an excellent track off of it that I once heard on a digital-only compilation called Eclectic Electric that was put out by mp3 retailer eMusic in 2000. Called "The Genaside Will Not Be Televised," it's a spoken-word, heavy breakbeat-trip hop adaptation of Gil Scott-Heron's famous poem, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," and replaces some of the original work's American cultural references with British ones. Recited by a British woman with a deep and militant sense of urgency, it's a tune that I can pretty safely say that I've never heard anything else quite like; cinematically enthralling and dystopian.

And now I'm off to find out what the rest of this Ad Finité album has in store too. Hopefully it's just as gripping 🙏.

Genaside II - Narra Mine (Armand Van Helden’s West Coast Mix) [1997]

A really great remix from AVH of the 1991 rave classic that turns it into a hip hop infused hard breakbeat track. It’s really hard to find this track anywhere, but it did appear on DJ Icey’s excellent 1997 mix, The Funky Breaks. Enjoy!

Jon Bellion - All Time Low (Genasidal 2021 Remix) by Genasidal https://ift.tt/3rnJjRs

[hurumhagelag]

Masterpost of playlists I've made. Arranging good songs or things with some shared nebulous personally meaningful quality into a new cohesive whole is a good thing.

bunch of tracks spanning classic early bossa nova up to 70s samba rock/funk/soul, possibly a few early 80s. appoaching 13 hrs all killer no filler

(what is balearic?) Balearic for me starts with trying to figure out the balearic section of the reviews pages in mixmag as a norwegian teenager in the late 90s. Not a genre, more of a feeling, and a history going back to the Balearic islands in the 80s. Anything with the right feeling could be balearic, but the evolution from early electronic dance/italo to newer house interacting with other types of mainly european music with a balearic feel is the concept here. Custom order.

This goes for the melodic vein found in late 60s to mid 70s giallo/genre Morricone soundtracks more often than not featuring Edda Dell'Orso singing. Morricone is legendary of course but somehow still feels underrated to me. Some compilations focus on this part of his music but this playlist does it better.

80s boogie mix. made for shuffling. playlist that had to be.

balearic virus. something going on with these songs. pop songs that don't pop. custom order.

Late 80s early 90s party rap music

Inner City Life by Goldie - the sound, the vibe and that point in time. The introduction of Goldie worldwide was pretty much "this is a new form of music". This playlist follows that train of thought for a little while.

Early 90's breakbeat rave. Think early Prodigy, Genaside II et.al. Too bad Spotify has so many holes with this kind of music.

short and sweet playlist with Tracey Thorn in various varied guises and collaborations.

Eurodance dominated the charts for a while in 90s Europe, where it was just "dance". Even if new manufactured "blonde female singer and black male rapper" duos seemingly popped up every other week from central Europe somewhere, the borders delineating it from more credible dance music weren't as rigid as it could seem.

On a scale of shoplifting to global genaside

Where does count tipp’s minions fall (including Dimlight)

Oh dang uhm

Mario: Has not killed before. Has possessed people though using his magic which isss pretty immoral

Luigi: Has killed before. Will kill again. Wants all dimensions to be his. Almost killed everyone in the process

Peach: Has killed before. Attempted to kill again. Has stolen various coins and items. Somewhat redeemed at the end. (Doesn't kill anymore but does still steal)

Bowser: Has killed before. Hasn't attempted to kill again aside from the Nastasia gang. Is kind of a sweetheart once you get to know him

Has been redeemed

Dimlight: Hasn't killed before. Has attempted murder before. Has a big ego. Probably got those machine parts by stealing

Luigi almost made him destroy all dimensions via brainwashing

1990s Trip Hop Playlist

Bad news and great news with this week's playlist post, folks. The bad news is that, once again, a Spotify version of one of these has shrunk because a song was removed from the platform, but the great news is that over on YouTube, I finally found a song that I've been looking to add for well over a year now to my 90s trip hop playlist. I'd actually tried to upload this track to my own channel before and was forbidden from doing so, but today, while I was updating, I managed to find it: the "Instrumental Mix" of Washington, D.C. duo Thievery Corporation's "Lebanese Blonde." In case you're familiar with the vocal version of this song, this isn't just a version that strips out the singing; this one has slightly different instrumentation to it too—namely Spanish guitar—and is really reflective of what the TC guys have always been about: weaving together different sounds from various parts of the world in order to yield some terrific cosmopolitan lounge beauty 😌.

I also learned this week that a handful of other songs that are in the YouTube version of this playlist had been taken down since the last time I updated it too: three from Paris' DJ Cam ("Mad Blunted Jazz," "Life," and "Gangsta Shit"), and one from Edinburgh's Boards of Canada ("Everything You Do Is a Balloon"). But fortunately, I was able to find other uploads of those same songs and retain them for the playlist.

Also in this update comes a couple adds from the pioneering German label that I've been writing about for weeks now in these playlist posts too: Harthouse, which was co-founded and run by the legendary Sven Väth in the early 90s, and began as a big outlet for trance and hard trance, but then broadened its horizons by the mid-to-late 90s before shutting down for good. There's Frankfurt group Hacienda's organ-jazzy "Nightmare of Max," whose title may be a play on the great Nightmares On Wax—whose own "Mission Venice" and "Fishtail Parker" also appear in this playlist too, by the way—and some chunky and groovy trip hop-blues from Berlin's Jiri.Ceiver called "Ycool," which also appears in my 90s downtempo and German downtempo YouTube playlists too. "Nightmare of Max" has under 300 YouTube plays and "Ycool" has a little over 140.

Hacienda - "Nightmare of Max" Jiri.Ceiver - "Ycool" Thievery Corporation - "Lebanese Blonde (Instrumental Mix)"

And this playlist is also on YouTube Music.

So while the Spotify version of this playlist has been pared down to a mere 34 songs that clock in at a little over 3 hours, the YouTube one has now grown to 61 songs that clock in at 5 hours and 50 minutes 😯. Lots and lots of super dope and rarer trip hop goodies to be found in that YouTube one, including:

a song by the great Squarepusher (operating under his government name, Tom Jenkinson) called "Vogon & I," that was once on Spotify, but isn't anymore

a remix by legendary IDM duo Autechre of their own nebulous and mysteriously related project Gescom's "Mag"

an incredible track from that same Gescom project called "Leritue (Gibber MIx)"

and a cinematic British breakbeat-trip hop interpolation of famed New York street poet Gil-Scott Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," by an act called Genaside II.

And lastly, if 5 hours and 50 minutes of trip hop sounds a bit too overwhelming for you, I've got a couple shorter playlists that focus on specific years of the genre too.

1996 Trip Hop: YouTube / YouTube Music 1998 Trip Hop: YouTube / YouTube Music

Enjoy!

More to come, eventually. Stay tuned!
