Incogdo (Derrick May) - Simply Just A Ventage [1992]

[arthurhbaker]

As record label and original remixer of this track, along with the guy who put farley and john together for the remix this track samples (not really samples, just edits), I find it a bit priceless that Mr May gave very little credit to the original creators...this coming from someone who is usually very hardcore and radical about claiming his credit and place in the world of dance music

[4ndyacid]

@arthurhbaker

Agreed! I didn't know this until now but it is very disappointing to find out. Completely hypocritical and shows a lack of ethics!

Like Paul Wheller did to Joe Smooth re: Promise Land.

[TheGeraldemerald]

@arthurhbaker I so agree even if you're not who you say you are!!! When I picked this up (for serious pounds!) I thought it was ace but familiar... digging through my crates realised I already had it but for a lot less cash!!!

[888pf]

awesome rare track thanks for the up fantastic

[Sylviothegreat]

Baanbrekend !! Net zon plaatje als de "Golden Girls" van Carl Craig destijds (de zeikerts hier kwamen de RoXy waarschijnlijk niet in en hebben dus geen flauw benul wat de impact was ) Deze track zette destijds Am*dam op zn kop ..Dimitri's sets waren toen zo opgebouwd dat ie lang tijd naar deze kraker toe te werkt om de crowd die er op zat te wachten gek te maken Geen hond kende toen het origineel joh ,pre internet.Dit was zo'n typies RoXy dingetje Btw Derrick May woonde destijds ook hier

[bassimgesicht]

von vorn bis hinten übelst geil gemacht!Ich bin baff!

[djackzen]

May foooooooooling around :D ahahahha dope stuff still

[mattingly234ever]

it sounds like he reedited a bunch of passes djing with the pioneer djm600, which is why this track is so sick

[kamtchaka]

Massive!

[TheDjfastEdDiescott]

NO DISRESPECT...but after a 1 1/2, minutes, this s#!t made MY head hurt......it was toooo much even for me. It's too busy!!!

[cromag89]

@TheDjfastEdDiescott it made your head hurt because you dont get what its all about,your a sideline spectator not a house head.

[markieonderwaterzz]

BIG ASS TUNE. Oldskool house is THE shit!

[ChonosTack]

it comes to my heart

[strike1337]

This is detroit techno, not house. FFS.

[barbardukes]

@strike1337

its called music

[headyai]

Shit !!!

[str3123]

Oh yeah!

[Luis1vo]

thanks for uploading this mate!!

no control by designer music!!!! (c. craig)

[Luis1vo]

ENORME!!!!

esos de ahi abajo que se callen la boca mejor.

[shivermuzik]

classic

[oswego22]

garbage

pitiful looped filter crap

you expect better from a carl craig / derrick may collabo..and usually get it, but this is just weak

[altiplanomusic]

When you remove your head from your uptight arse... try and remember to smile will you.

you're about as house as my mum

[oswego22]

aww, did you take it personal?

are we a little sensitive? - this is feeble compared to fingers, marshall jefferson/ virgo etc - that's house - it's this sort of 'knocked out ' dull filter rubbish that's destroyed house music. dull. dull. dull.

You must have a low attention span to sit through seven minutes of this. Still, it's not your fault you're easily pleased. So go on; turn it up and nod your head like a wind up toy if it makes you happy.

:D

[statenhal]

ladies please!

IMO, i think the tune was ahead of its time with the filtering. Also, it shouldnt be taken too seriously. Don't all we housejunkies sometimes run into a rif that sounds so sweet that you can just put it in a loop and listen to it endlessly? That's exactly what was done here, probably drugged up after a party, playing around with farley's loop having it pressed the day after, anonymously. The rest is history. Its no masterpiece but this tune definitely raised some hands!

[ISBAILEYDEADYET]

@oswego22

Come on mate - if you have nothing nice to say and all that....

There was a time forthis track and people obviously felt it...

[afrazzini]

this is the jam..old detroit in the house! those were the days

[MotorizeYourBike]

.... fantastic!

[wrongstring]

i have never heard this

[1969jilla]

I miss how they used to adjust the EQ (treble, bass, mid) at the break points...timeless.

[liammclellan93]

going 2 c him next saturday at EH1 GET IN

[backside78]

amazing track !!! wooooaaaa, 100 % detroit high soul !!!

[peletonkambing]

Ah Detroit! Someone else who knows the genre.

[SamuraiClinton]

Now this is a great house track.

Just 10 seconds was enough to know how good it is!

[msend]

;-)

[Bowie99]

One of my all-time-favourites. Try playing these on both dcecks and flip around a bit...

[cheesyquaver]

Ah, what a bass, what a piano, what a tune. Wicked upload, cheers.

[soomighty77]

Under the track title it says: "Original composition Rocca & Stenned". So watch your words before you accuse this artist of ripping off someone's tracks.

[Jaggabone]

Nice! And you'd figure that most here can type and at least read here. However a great piece of history that I didn't know. SO thank you all!

[userone]

It all seems to start making sense...

[djJackMF]

Seems to me ultimately all he did was what was meant to happen... it's dj culture, and he's synonymous with that.

[adamcheesewright]

Nice tune bruv love it i'll check more tunes out on your site

[thenewrapstyle]

listen to the original (link up top) and see what a huge rip off it is. cant believe they would do that, what were they thinking?

[sponooch]

it's just the piano.. no more

[vdoeschaal]

i think my man's way better then Juan Atkins. Maybe it's just me but i think Thomas Bangalter got some inspiration from this.

[bondi5000]

Yeah I have the Farley remixes on 12" too... It's a great riff but to be honest this sounds too much like Derrick's over-twiddling the knobs on the filter pots for my liking... Can't believe he released this under his own name without crediting the original producer... Skanky.

[statenhal]

Well he didnt release it under his own name, but "Incogdo" which sounds to me as "Incognito"

I'll post the Farley mix of John Rocca some day.

[StretchinOut]

Very interesting.

I have the 12" remix of John Rocca which has an identical remix but it's called "I Want to Be Real, Farley's Hot House mix". There is also another instrumental house mix, along with the original freestyle version.

[StretchinOut]

I am wrong. My version is very similar to yours starting from the 3:25 mark. Your intro is amazing with the dubbing, fading, and HEAVY bassline. Mine has more piano throughout and absolutely none of that awesome Bass.... so sad.

[statenhal]

This track was entirely ripped from Farley's mix of I Want to Be Real. That's why it got banned.

[StretchinOut]

It's a shame it had to get banned.

I really do like it.

At least Derrick's efforts won't go unnoticed thanks to you.

[navzlowz]

boud hod van knallen :-P

[boudstyle]

ook weer een knaller!

[Roelandvinken]

Its sampled from "Johnny Rocca" I want it to be real. The whole thing.

[Cormando]

yeah - it would be sweet to hear them together - this mixed with the Rocca track.

[joy1979]

Shit this is still Rocking!!!

The bassline is amazing!!!

The other side is very good too.

This a bomb on the rigths Hands!!!

[zola69]

brillant !

[Scrote123]

Fantastic!
