Sound Factory 1993

This is a repost of a post on testpressing.org.

The Sound Factory was a 'legendary' club in Manhattan opening its gates in 1989. Junior Vasquez was resident DJ in its early days. Watch this footage, it's really impressive. It kind of displays an upheaval in the history of dance music and club culture, the transition of the 70ies/80ies gay disco club into some kind of rave movement, from garage house to progressive house and techno.

For further information you can read Death of the Sound Factory, an I-d magazine article from 1995, bemoaning the demise of the underground qualities of the club.

Moi Rene - Miss Honey

This really entertaining video shows Moi Rene. She was most probably the initiator of a short-lived house music sub-genre, which is commonly accepted as "Bitch Tracks", if my understanding is right.

The "Miss Honey" release came out in the early nineties and was followed by a few other like-minded tracks, especially in the New York area. Juicy and sexually loaded vocals(yelled by highly made-up sissies), laid over pumping beats and slamming basslines were the typical distinctive features that made dancefloors go crazy and mental.

Well, Bitch Tracks had a really short lifespan(please think of those jealous male and macho producers, who have beaten Bitch House to death, hahah) and there are just a few notable tunes out there, but some of them are really worth to pick and to be played out. Miss Honey is my personal classic Bitch Track. FUCK YEAH!
