Ethereal acid elements mixed with deep funk, great names, great track, from Ovum.

D’Julz - Just So You Know (2000 And One Remix) (Tech, Deep, Techno)

What do you get if you add once ounce of french filter house, one ounce of minimal chord elements and two ounces of some deep groovy funk?

Sound Stream - Live Goes On (Deep, Funk)

This tracks presents itself with a pulsating dark bassline and some staccato-like vocals.

Dave Ellesmere, also known as “Microfunk” or “2000 And One”, started his musical journey with infamous punk bands. A brief flirtation with acid house during the so-called “Summer of Love” introduced him to the sound of new electronica. Dave was hooked. He started experimenting and producing his own tracks which were uploaded to MP3.com. Fame and hype shortly followed. Not even within a week after uploading his first recordings, Derrick May picked one of Microfunk’s songs as his top 10 favorites. Needless to say, it was the big break Dave needed, and today he is still doing what he’s best known for, that fine techno-electro sound with a kick of minimal. BAM! “Pecan” is one of his releases that is often found being played by ”Les Grandes“ of ‘mnml’ land.

Today I had to do an improbable thing: yank on a pair of long johns in snowy(!) April. Chicago, I love you, but you’ve got to get your seasons right.
