I also learned a valuable lesson about making sure all music is backed up immediately, not just periodically. One to remember, fellow kids.<\/p>\n<p>This mix is the first in a new series I am planning to do called &#8220;Get It&#8221;, which will be a series of 15 track mixes, each devoted, roughly, to a single genre or idea or concept. Why 15 tracks? For a couple reasons, I guess. The first is that it&#8217;s a nice round number, and secondly because a fifteen track mix generally won&#8217;t take too long to do, which is important when, like myself, you no longer have lots of free time to record. The days when I could record and re-record mixes multiple times are long gone!<\/p>\n<p>The series is going to be focused on new music, or at least new by my standards, i.e. stuff from this decade (more or less). No dusty 90&#8217;s records! The reason for this is because over the last couple of years I have got back into buying new records on vinyl. However, the amount of time I have to actually listen to records is small, hence the need to put them on mixes for my own enjoyment while at work. OK, sure, I could also listen to them via streaming options, but I just really prefer to make my own mixes and listen to music that way.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s my thing.<\/p>\n<p>To start the series, I would like to present &#8216;Get Rugged&#8217;, which is a little trip into what I call rugged house and techno. House music is a bit of a funny one for me &#8211; it has taken so many forms over the years that speaking of &#8216;house music&#8217; as a generic term tells you almost nothing. If someone says, &#8216;I made a house mix&#8217;, basically the only thing you can take from that is a rough bpm. Without any more information the possibilities are limitless. Is it a mix of music from the classic early Chicago \/ New York days? Is it a British tech-house sound? A French disco-influenced sound? Something else entirely?<\/p>\n<p>In my case, anyone who has been following these mixes for a while will know that I am not really a major househead. I like it just fine, but it&#8217;s not my main thing, or even like my seventh main thing. So it&#8217;s a bit funny that I am kicking off an entirely new mix series with a quote-unquote &#8216;house mix&#8217;, right?<\/p>\n<p>In this <\/p>\n<p>What do I mean, therefore, when I say that this is &#8216;rugged house&#8217;? Essentially, this is house (and techno!) that is a bit rougher than the standard template, a bit more bass-heavy, with a generous dollop of chunky breakbeats ladled over the top. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not so much &#8216;sexy Italian lady in sunglasses in Ibiza&#8217;, more &#8216;coked-up Cockney geeza spraying your ear with spittle&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, you know <i>exactly<\/i> what I mean.<\/p>\n<p>I have tried to make this mix a (pleasurable) version of that experience &#8211; everything from Fracture&#8217;s piano house (I&#8217;ve actually played it at 33 rpm, shhhhh) to jacking Chicago-style ghetto bangers from Jerome Hill and Snuff Crew to the rough sounds of Luca Lozano (the rugged house producer par excellence) to the slinky deep sounds of Boddika &#038; Joy Orbison to the old skool flavors of Hardcore Edits and Special Request&#8217;s remix of Nightmares On Wax, through two grime-inflected house bangers from Mall Grab and Pinch, before finishing off with a heavily pitched-down jungle techno monster from 20 Hurts, aka rave legend Jack Smooth.<\/p>\n<p>Phew! <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s only 15 tracks, but it&#8217;s quite a ride &#8230; enjoy! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pearsall presents Get It Part 001: Get Rugged right-click, save as to download this free mp3 mix Mixed in Berlin, September 2018 100% Vinyl (49:02, 115 MB, 320 kbps MP3) Cue file Larger Cover Style: Rugged House<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[221,18,10],"class_list":["post-4517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mixes","tag-get-it","tag-house","tag-techno"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4517"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4517\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5996,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4517\/revisions\/5996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
