Description:

This is such a beautiful song composed by British artist Steve Strange in December 1980. Fade To Grey has that French emotional melody and elegant groove, with English vocals accompanied with French spoken words by a female. Good old 1980 sustained eighth-note octave synth bassline, Roland CR-78 drum-machine, and synth drum slams hits. The track is like an uplifting passion of the French food with the deepness of French wine that screams falling in love and having sex with a French mistress, covered in French chocolat (sho-ko-la).Visage Fade To Grey (12 ) Artist: VisageTitle: Fade To Grey (12 Version)Year: 1980Label: PolydorVisage Fade To Grey (12 ) (mp3) It s been exactly one year since DJ Veronica s last mix It s About Time. As usual, she was over here last night at my home-studio where her mix is being mastered by me.  As I was bouncing the finalized mix to audio-file, DJ Veronica danced all the place and later ate all my chocolate snacks and potato chips.DJ Veronica A  New Beginning Artist: DJ VeronicaTitle: A New Beginning (DJ mix set)Year: 2011Comment: Mastered by Hashmoder (Omar Hash)DJ Veronica It s About Time " (mp3)https://hashmoder.com/idisk/DJVeronica_ANewBeginning.mp3 (link path) From DJ Veronica to you So I was on my way to California for a week, all checked-in, through security, and then the flight was cancelled. Apparently the plane was struck by lightning on its way into Vancouver. A 6 hole went through the nose of the plane! Needless to say, there was no chance of getting out of town, so I got my bags and went back home. Everyone I knew thought I was out of town. I had no responsibilities. I was on vacation, yet I was at home, so I fired up the speakers, cranked the bass, and pulled out the tracks and hit record.  This is the end result.My new mix A New Beginning is full of tracks which I think are nostalgic. It makes me happy. I hope it does the same for you. It evokes memories of good times.  And I mean GOOD TIMES! Track such as Music Is The Answer, Sugar Daddy, Music Sounds Better With You and so many more that I know you will recognize but with an updated twist.Hashmoder has mastered this mix for me in the way that only he can. Thank-you my friend! You rock!To all my fans over the years, this one s for you!  Enjoy! And catch me this week-end opening for Peaches @ the Utopia Festival!Much love.  Music IS the answer!!!…DJ Veronica click each image above to enlargeI haven t played this record in over 23+ years.  When I put this record on the deck last night, I was shocked at how bad the sound-quality was.  The bad sound wasn t from the result of degradation of the vinyl over the years. In fact, the record is still in MINT condition. But the bad quality came from the original recording of either the original tape-master itself and/or the pressing.  The sound sounded like a low-resolution MP3.  UNACCEPTABLE!   By today s standards, of course.Then all a sudden   like an enormous powerful flashback shooting out like a bullet from the back  area of my deepest recessed memory, fully taking over all my five senses the Spirit of Vinyl-Past sucked me into a worm-hole and travelled me back in time to the year 1986 to the same exact point of day and time as to when I bought Electro-15 record from a store in London or Uxbridge went home and played it for the first time but upon my first impression after listening to it, I had actually thought back then about the recording quality sounding awfully worse than all of the previous Electro releases.  Disappointed then.  Disappointed now even.However . now I just love how last night was like listening to Electro-15 for the first time again but this time with a genuine worm-hole-deja-vouz. Surreal!Only this time I was blessed to do quick EQing, compressing, reverbing and simple mastering to the overall sound to an acceptable reasonable state of being compatible to the 12st Century human ears.With my dirty-hands, I accentuated the ghetto beefness I widened the stereo-field I brightened the upper end I added some depth with room-dimensions via Lexicon reverb (with careful programming of all parameters; no presets were chosen!  And, as a matter of fact, every Electro recording of mine has different reverb-settings which I d programmed each very meticulously) I left-alone some of the record s dirt scratches and, most importantly, I wanted the sound/feeling of an actual vinyl-record to be pushed-in-your-face for the meditative experience of listening-purposes (which might be great to expose the new generation of listeners/collectors to what it really and SHOULD HAVE sounded like for them back then).     The GRIT just had to stay!I could have mastered Electro-15 so clean like a digital CD-master, without anybody else being able to tell the difference between whether the recording coming from a vinyl or not.  But that would be no fun. HELL NO!   I like sticking it in to ya:  RAW BEEF sound with my own STAMP on it.StreetSounds Electro-15  (Side A) Title: Electro-15  (Side A)Mixed by: Herbie ‘Mastermind’ LaidleyYear: 1986Label: StreetSoundsMedia Source: Recorded straight from 12-inch record to enhanced digital.StreetSounds Electro-15  (Side A) (mp3) TracklistingA1: Duke Bootee Broadway Produced by Duke BooteeA2: Skinny Boys Awesome Produced by Mark BushA3: Kurtis Blow - The Bronx Produced by Kurtis BlowA4: DJ Scott La Rock, Blastmaster KRS One D-Nice South Bronx Produced by Boogie Down ProductionsStreetSounds Electro-15  (Side B) Title: Electro-15  (Side B)Mixed by: Herbie ‘Mastermind’ LaidleyYear: 1986Label: StreetSoundsMedia Source: Recorded straight from 12-inch record to enhanced digital.StreetSounds Electro-15  (Side B) (mp3) TracklistingB1: Just-Ice - Cold Gettin Dumb Produced by The Lord High Ruler Emperor Of The BeatB2: Faze One Layin Down A Beat (Censored Version)Produced by Dave OgrinB3: The Move - Greedy Girls (Extended Version)Produced by Cozmo D, Chilly B, The MoveB4: Captain Rock Bongo Beat Produced by Taharqa Aleem Tunde-Ra Aleem click each image above to enlargeStreetSounds Electro-14 (Side A) Title: Electro-14  (Side A)Mixed by: Herbie ‘Mastermind’ LaidleyYear: 1986Label: StreetSoundsMedia Source: Recorded straight from 12-inch record to enhanced digital.StreetSounds Electro-14  (Side A) (mp3) TracklistingA1: Awesome Foursome Monster Beat Produced by Gregory Marius Teddy RileyA2: Tricky Tee Leave It To The Drums (Here Comes The Drums) (Club) Produced by Sam SeverA3: T La Rock - Breaking Bells (Club)Produced by MantronixA4: Mixmaster Gee The Turntable Orchestra The Manipulator (Extended Version)Produced by Greg RoyalStreetSounds Electro-14  (Side B) Title: Electro-14  (Side B)Mixed by: Herbie ‘Mastermind’ LaidleyYear: 1986Label: StreetSoundsMedia Source: Recorded straight from 12-inch record to enhanced digital.StreetSounds Electro-14  (Side B) (mp3) TracklistingB1: Divine Sounds - Me And My Posse Produced by Jerry Bloodrock Michael DowlingB2: Fresh Force She s A Skeezer Produced by Charlie Casanova Fresh ForceB3: MC Chill (guest appearance by BeatMaster T) - Downbeats Produced by Mike NiceB4: Skinny Boys Rip The Cut Produced by Mark Bush Trio Da Da Da (I Don t Love You You Don t Love Me Aha Aha Aha) (12 Version) Artist: TrioTitle: Da Da Da (I Don t Love You You Don t Love Me Aha Aha Aha) (12 Version)Year: 1982Label: Mercury RecordsTrio Da Da Da (I Don t Love You You Don t Love Me Aha Aha Aha) (12 Version) (mp3) Posts To Remember Installed By The Machine :: PropagandaWhile the norm for most tracks go anywhere between 3:30 to 6:00 minutes in length, I prefer 15:00 minutes or longer, like the four seasons. Give me 4 long tracks to fill the hour, and I’ll be one very happy Iraqi. I love tracks that take me on long journeys through various movements. One of my all-time favorite synth-pop groups is PROPAGANDA from germany … who sound like twisted ABBA + Industrial + TechnoPop + Darkness. My favorite Proganda track is P:Machinery. I’ve taken two 12-inch vinyl versions of that track and conjoined them together as one … the way I want to listen to P:Machinery by:Digitizing them into Protools; Spending two long months cleaning them up; Getting rid of every single scratch/pop/click; Restoring deteriorated sounds through various RE-SYNTHESIS processes and techniques; Splicing the tracks to separate clips; Re-arranging and layering clips to my taste; Throwing in my own synth-stabs, chops and other minor subtleties; Adding automating series of chained top-notch effects throughout the mix, utilizing parameters some of you could not even pronounce ... thus resulting with more dynamic and reverberated DEPTH to the mix; Fattening the bottom-end; Widening overall stereo perception; and Mixing, engineering and mastering my version of P:Machinery the way I think it's supposed to be heard.To my taste, P:Machinery sounds better than 'sick' ... more like master piece of shit which blasts sonically across the stereo-field ... not one element standing still but constantly moving all over the place.Propaganda P:Machinery (Hashmoderized)PLAY TRACKRead/listen more info tracks...Man Parrish: Heatstroke MomentsAlthough he produced only a handful of tracks of renown and disappeared into obscurity almost as quickly as he had emerged from it, Manny ( Man ) Parrish is nonetheless one of the most important and influential figures in American electronic dance music. Helping to lay the foundation of electro, hip-hop, freestyle, and techno, as well as the dozens of subgenres to splinter off from those, Parrish introduced the aesthetic of European electronic pop to the American club scene by combining the plugged-in disco-funk of Giorgio Moroder and the man-machine music of Kraftwerk with the beefed-up rhythms and cut’n'mix approach of nascent hip-hop. As a result, tracks like “Hip-Hop Be Bop (Don’t Stop)” and “Boogie Down Bronx” were period-defining works that provided the basic genetic material for everyone from Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys to Autechre and Andrea Parker — and they remain undisputed classics of early hip-hop and electro to this day.Man Parrish Boogie Down Bronx (dub version)PLAY TRACKRead/listen more info tracks...Trevor Horn Part-1: Dynamic 12-inchWhat made Trevor Horn’s productions stand out was his unique and genius production techniques and the heavy use of state-of-the-art pro-audio gear, which made him become the torch-bearer for the kind of technology-led pop music which was hip and incredibly disciplined. Trevor Horn’s 12-inch remixes were uniquely long (anywhere from 8 to 13 minutes in duration) and told stories which took the listeners through long instrumental journeys at the begenning of tracks until the climax is reached (around the 5/6 or 7 minute mark). After the climax, the original or alternate full vocal version of the track takes over from that point on to the end, lasting additional 3.5 to 5 minutes in length.Frankie Goes To Hollywood Relax (12 inch Sex Mix)PLAY TRACKRead/listen more info tracks...

A similar but now sadly defunct site called Retro Wonderland came a close second! Keep up the good work. All the best."And all the best to you too, Elliot, for your lovely feedback you've emailed me :)HashmoderFrom: Yaron Sarel"...just discovered your site, and I wanted to tell you that you make me one happy Israeli guy. I work as a sound engineer, living in Tel Aviv, and I love the 80's. In fact, two good friends of mine and myself formed an oriented-80's synth band. After years of playing rock, for some reason I have never imagined I would be playing this kind of music. I used to listen to as a kid (before I discovered the electric guitar). Your work brings back to life this music i miss and love so much. Thank you sir!"And thank you, Yaron, for your lovely feedback.Kindest regards,Hashmoder Disclaimer Mp3's on this site are for sampling and promotional purposes only and will only.
