Landlord - I Like It

[Xozona]

A slowed down version of this is sampled in that Hercules and Love Affair song...forget the name of it...

[ThomasWhatever]

It's the same synth that was used in Outlanders "Vamp". I would really like to know which synth is used to produce this unique around-1990-dark-house-sound.

Wicked tune!

[charleyboy74]

Fucking lush tune !!

[craggk]

Unfortunate coincidence, shame i liked the thunderdome even though at the time people used to say you only went there if you were to ugly or uncool to get in the Hac.

[konspiracykid]

@craggk hahaha yeah the hac door policy was wank. Dome was miles better anyway. by summer 89 the hac was full of poseurs in naf naf jackets

[DRokKster]

@konspiracykid

Bang on mate, came over from Sheffield in 91, ignored the posers at the Hac and headed straight for ~Konspiracy, WOW! what a night, although we never did figure out what that daft spaceship shaped thing on the ceiling was for, it was a top night! rounded off nicely by my missus doing a sterling job steering the Datsun home over the snake pass while still peaking on a strawberry! Great times!

[junglebones]

@DRokKster JAM MC'S ...............GUY CALLED GERALD FUCKIN ACE if your bored check my oldskool mixes on soundcloud under the name junglebones cheers

[Duco1991]

The main melody is used in many songs. Some examples:

Arrakis - The Spice

Union Jack - Red Herring

Poltergeist - Vicious Circles

DJ Quicksilver - I Have A Dream

It's such an influentual and great song!

[firedragonguardian]

that cos they turned it into a block of flats

[kdehead]

its said about a lot of tunes... but by god is this one AN UTTER FUCKING CLASSIC

[captinweestain]

This tune created this riff

[DJlarneyp]

i went to the hac once very early in the night just after they openedso got in after queuing , i'm glad i was looned that night as it was proper moody the tune of the night though was delite wildtimes remix

[THEOLDSCHOOLHOUSE1]

top mix

[leepritchard]

VasquezDelFuego ...yes it was....and it wasnt abused...this is class

[antonfarqua]

every time we took the long trip up the m1 from milton keynes to the hac we lined up for hours only to hear the words WERE FULL! in the end we never bothered and headed straight to konspiracys only ever got in to the hac once out of about 12 visits was a good night but i still ended up in konspiracys.

[TheCarbonfiend]

@antonfarqua I was from up there trust me mate by the time Konspiracy turned up on the scene the best days of the hacienda were over and everybody was at Konspiracy, Blackburn or Shelleys think even Thunderdome was over

[craggk]

@TheCarbonfiend the Thunderdome burned the week after Konspiricy opened...

[TheCarbonfiend]

@craggk Konspiracy by name Konspiracy by nature eh ;-)

[konspiracykid]

@TheCarbonfiend I agree there mate. Konspiracy fuckin rocked...upstairs in Salfords room, shady as fuck but top top times

[VasquezDelFuego]

Good Life came out a year before this tune, wonder if this was the first tune to use this riff.

[baztube]

Good point, I never noticed the similarity betwen the two tracks until you pointed that out.

[captinweestain]

@VasquezDelFuego The first

[regiesuntan]

true classic

[dooleydamix]

mixes great with language

[KAPLYZ]

[easternmafia]

[jezjonson]

[easternmafia]

i also want to know who stand behind this

[synergy365]

R-I-P The Hacienda. Unique clubbing experience.

"Not forgotten".

[daveraffy]

[simonashcroft9]

killer bassline, killer tune!!! awesome

[roachy333]

I like it???

no I fuckin' love it...this ones a daddy!!!!

[dannycub76]

Now that takes me back,bloody fab :)

[ancientraver19881989]

To me along with Cry Siscos Afro Dizzi Act one of THE biggest sounds of the M25 parties in 1989. I'd go as far as to say one of the most influential tracks of all time not just in house/rave but in the whole of modern popular music (not that you'd know from listening to the boring outdated rock dominated music media tho). This stab was not just such an influence on hardcore in 90-92 but also a lot of the trance/hard house that took over the world in the late 90s/turn of millenium too.

[brmgoons]

I 1st heard this in covnetry, played by grooverider, 1989 in the eclipse, wat a tune!!

[bombsiteweed]

Listening to this again. I love this tune. What a bassline.

[housefly8888]

Classic! This was an Orlando favorite

[bcrst]

thank u, thank u, thank u !!!

[rotherhamfan]

Love this track , reminds me of my youth .. Blackburn Raves

[rotherhamfan]

Lovin this bad boy just bought it AGAIN on 12" - God bless e-bay

[88to92]

This will always be in my all time top ten tunes no doubt. Defining a different style of house / techno of the times & influencing so many other artists thereafter. Will always be in my heart & mind, both for the memories & the truly unique sound. Fantastic track. Respect ;o)

[jezjonson]

i agree with lucidflight.

how the hell did you get that synth stab? purely magical.

[1jaybo]

pure Quality

[33218102]

absolute quality mate!!

[mnc71]

In a word "Classic" truely!

[easternmafia]

who have made this first" that just i want to know" he deserved gold

[smiftabifta]

its carl cox / success in effect - let the bass kick correct me if im wrong plz

[FBDKB384]

Carl Cox sampled this on Let The Bass Kick. This is the original piano riff.

[theleeproject]

no my peeps...it's Landlord,

"I like It",,,,,that's me, new name is The Lee Project and i'm coming back with a slamming album......,

[jelly7171]

CHoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooon!

[148estella]

At the Zap one mad night in '91/'92 Chris Coco (I think !) dropped this with an acapella of UFI's 'Understand This Groove' or it was a remix??? Any ideas anyone?

[FBDKB384]

Sounds like 'Understand This Groove' by Sound Factory

[JEANBRUCE1991]

@FBDKB384

Yes , the same sound sampled by Sound factory 3 years after landlord.

The piano theme is slighly the same but the notes are differents.

[upyabuminyamum]

ERROR IN MY PREVIOUS POSTINGS !!!im big enough to admit that the previous postings are an error on my behalf.the leeproject is indeed the landlord maker of this magical tune..thousand appolagies.and millions of respect to the leeproject aka the landlord....

[upyabuminyamum]

its bull shillshit mate !!

[upyabuminyamum]

this tune has just made me subb to you !!!!!what a tune hac 51..hacienda lives on...cheers mate

[danaisaslut6969]

What a track....**speechless**...alwa­ys have something to say, but this time i don't...absolute classic!!!..cheerz fb

[21ghosts]

I have worshipped this track for nearly two decades. An abslute forever total killer.

[jumperontrain]

Great track, good sound quality too, Thanks very much...........STERNS INTERDANCE HOW YOU FEELIN!!! feel the rush!!!

[bombsiteweed]

"then you sir are a god" we are in the presence of the originator of the Landlord stab on this youtube room. Only joking!! But good powerful work on the synths there mate!! Only once got to hear about Landlord back in the day. And that was a £5 pirate mixtape C60 sold on the side of the road at Camden market. Bet you Landlord never got to see a penny of it!!

[djinferno12]

This track contains the best ever synth / stab in the history of dance, so famous it's called the lanlord stab! Massive big up to the producers of this track as it's a truly amazing masterpiece! This track helped chape the the breakneat hardcore rave scene from 1990 onwards!

[Balefan83]

I agree with you 100% best synth line in history...and so ahead of its time, set the standard for hardcore as far as im concerned...wen carl cox put the breakbeat on the back of it for success in effect it fucking smashed the place

[theleeproject]

Hey yo, thanks for the big up...This is Landlord from Toronto Canada, the man behind the track from back in the day....record label messed with my career so i disappeared, i'm back yo, will always be Landlord but now go by the name..."The Lee Project" new album almost finished...rap/dance/r&b...kee­p in touch...

theleeproject@gmail.

[upyabuminyamum]

dont belive this folks its bull shit...i love the tune its a classic but your getting bullshitted please belive me ....

[danosmedia]

@theleeproject > just concentrate on house big man, you unearthed a massive gem, it was not by chance, feel the power :)

[negativkritiker]

@theleeproject .... sad... but this tune is still on sale and you get nothing out of it? ???!! discogs.com/Various-History-Of­-House-Music-Vol-1/release/233­8376

[djugel]

@theleeproject

you created one of the most iconic original patches of all time!!

[LucidFlight]

Killer track. Pretty much shaped my definition of true hardcore underground house/techno. Funny that not many people seem to know about this original masterpiece.

Part of me would love to know how that synth-stab came to be (what equipment, processing, etc.); another part doesn't want to lose the mystique :)

[theleeproject]

again, it's Landlord...I like it ...off Big shot Records...I am Landlord from Toronto Canada...new album almost complete....The Lee Project is the new name.......Peace...Album is called X-plode...not yet released...but soon..

[Muamasow]

Oh, i would really like to hear that! :)

[TX608L]

That stab sound was produced (I think) by sampling the beginning of the piano riff on Stirling Void's track - 'I don't wanna go'. Bizzarre inc did it with their track playing with knives also to great effect

A lot of producers were onto this sound at the time

[LucidFlight]

Cheers, TX608L. Yeah, it's got that real tech-piano sound to it. It's a bit like a piano, yet it's nothing like a piano. I love it.

Reminds me as well of other "hard-tech" sounds from the likes of Smart Systems (Dougans/Cobain).

"A lot of producers were onto this sound at the time"

And with good reason! :)

[TX608L]

Yeah it's unbeaten, and still being used in tracks today, check out... Steve Angello - Tool Box E.P (Ware It Out) (Original Mix)

[2004]

[quicklung]

Its a Piano from Hell!!!!!! Dark As Fuck Sample!!!!!!!!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaa wanna hear this so loud it kills me!!!!!!

[theleeproject]

nice track yo

[mangodrive]

forever in my recordcase! ;)

[theleeproject]

thanks man..i'm landlord from the late 80's and glad u enjoyed this track

[Balefan83]

you're landlord??? then you sir are a god...and just to let you know your tune is bloody hard to find these days...took me ages to find the blow out dub mix

[theleeproject]

Hey Belfane83......thanks so much man for the compliment...i'm back and better now baby!

This ain't no joke, really am Landlord and the compliments on here mean a lot to me...Still living in Toronto/Canada

New album is off the chain...produced by yours truly

Remember the name...The Lee Project...A.k.a...Landldord

[zanzan15m]

I love this too - a link to the mp3 is doing the rounds with all my friends - we all remember it. Still sounds amazing. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant.

[upyabuminyamum]
