Brokenlooppers
Ideas musicales para los que nadan contracorriente
Posted BrokenMix, Sesión on Tuesday, May 19th, 2009.
A puntito de celebrar el 6º aniversario de BrokenLoop nos llega todo un regalo en forma de sesión. 2 horas y media para saborear Chicago de la mano de Specter, al que muchos alabamos como uno de los mejores productores en esto del deep house.
El americano, de ascendencia latina, es propietario junto a Damon Lamar del sello Tretode Music, un sello mas que respetado que solo cuenta con 3 referencias que son autenticas joyas del ultradeep house. Recientemente ha editado tracks para Eargasmic y Deep Explorer Music, lo que afianza la vigencia de su trabajo y como ha servido de influencia para una nueva hornada de sellos en todo el mundo.
Retomando la sesión que ha grabado para la ultima entrega de los BrokenMixes. Specter nos presenta un mix sorprendente donde resulta imposible adivinar con que nos sorprenderá después de cada tema pero manteniendo la coherencia de un artista que nos muestra sus influencias presentes y las que lo forjaron como artista en una perfecta armonía
Specter – BrokenMix 70 (download Mp3 file)
Andres Ordoñez – aka Specter – developed and crafted his signature style of the Chicago house sound over a span of 19 years. Specter’s ambience-driven, organic touch exudes a infectious groove that’s deeply soulful, sensual, earthy, warm and nocturnal with a good measure of sublime disco, acid house, jazzy inflections and pure funk.
Specter’s interest in house music piqued in the 80’s, when the wunderkind genre blew up in the city of Chicago. Specter would tape and devour the novel, often raw and eventually legendary mixes from radio stations like WBMX, WCYC, WCRX, WKKC and WGCI. Early influences include DJs like Farley Jackmaster Funk, Edward “Get Down” Crosby, Mickey Oliver, Bobby “Q” bobby,Lee Collins, lil louis, the Hot Mix 5 and the inimitable Ron Hardy. Specter started DJ’ing at 15 playing house, disco and italo . Spinning at basement parties around the city and suburbs. When Chicago’s loft-party and rave scene started to take off in the mid-90s, Specter began incorporating the edgier, minimal heat of Detroit techno into his sound.
By 1999 and 2000, Specter had established himself as a respected DJ through his many mix tapes and playing loft parties around the city, He Also co-founded a production label with Damon Lamar aka Baby pop called Tetrode Music. The first EP release from Tetrode dropped in 2000 and became a underground classic. ‘’For All the Music/Mystery”. Following up with the second release “Mediterranean/Defining Moment” in 2002. Tetrode 03 came out two years later in 2004 titled “The Deep Theory Ep”. Years later after taking off some time for personal reasons, specter has returned in 08 and has released a track on Deep Explorer out of spain (Windtalker) And another track on Chicago label Eargasmic Recordings ( I don’t need). The track was recently licensed for a harley and muscle mix comp called Deep house part 1. Tetrode Music is back in full swing again and will be releasing more music before the year ends…
