DnBuser & TnC: Strong & Delayed (the real story)

I thought it was time to reveal the real story about DnBuser & TnC: "Strong & Delayed" tracks. If you read my post about DJ Station and see the video on YouTube you already know the real story.

So I am sorry making up a story about a DJ Collective called "DJ Station" and a real DJ DnBuser, who was only a virtual DJ created by TnC.

Now I can only tell you how I created these "Strong and Delayed" track, I just let the DJ (DnBuser) start the mix and when I liked the intro, I started to drag new samples to the numbers in the circle.

I never used the Vocal samples, cause I just hated the femal voice they used. Fun to know while creating a track, is when you drag (for example) BD to number 1 it sounds different when you drag it to number 8...

I wanted to create more tracks in different music styles, but after the "Strong & Delayed" series, all my attempts were never good enough to publish in any way...
Maybe some day...

DJ Station a music generating computerprogram

DJ Station of DATA BECKER is a really strange computer program, it can generate music in different styles, but you can on the fly change how the music sounds like. 
How ? By adding music samples, change filters and other settings like speed or mood. 
DJ Station created an impressive number of so called DJs that generate some kind of style and mood. 

It possible to create your own DJ, but you cannot add your own picture in it or generate how the DJ should look like... that's what I miss the most in DJ Station. 
And they made a horrible bad looking icon  (see below)...

While it was designed for WIN 95/98, still it runs on Windows XP 
and higher, but cannot record/save/export the mix anymore.
With the right audio-/videograbber you can record the track and make a mp3 of it. 
 
What I like in DJ Station is you can interactive change the mix, while the DJ is playing his mix, you see every nod or switch move, crazy to see...

Because DJ Station is an old program it contajns music-styles we dont use anymore, 
like Cross-Over , Rave or Euro-House and the music or mixes it produced are very minimal and could easlily repeating itself, I like it any way. 

My bigest problem with DJ Station is mainly the vocals, mostly the female voices are annoying, boring and used too often. 
I made some tracks myself with DJ Station and upload them to Soundcloud, 
titled "Strong & Delayed".

See my other posts with the same title for more info... 

DJ Station was issued as an 2 CD-Rom package, mainly containing samples in wav format.
So installing all 15 (!) music styles will take a while...

112 MSX Basic games presents: KITCHEN.GAM (100)

Yes, the countdown is still going and today it's MSX Basic Game numbero 100 !

The game is an old listing from the MSX Computer Magazine Listingbook #2, called "Kitchen Chaos, but strangely the listings name was in Dutch. But hey, the game itself was a mixture of Dutch and English, so who cares...

Well, I did and translated the last few Dutch words and  did some rework, cause original you saw the title of the game AFTER you run out of lives.
The difficulty of the game is also strange, first easy but soon it gets a bit intense and when you make a mistake the game goes back to the easy setting.

I had a great time playing it despite that, it looks nice, it's very fast and it;s hard to beat the highscore.
What more can you expect of the good game ?

So I had to include this one into the 112 MSX Basic games collection.

Get it !

TnC House Classics presents : Don't You Want Me / Dont You Want My Love - Felix

Of course should this one be included in the TnC House Classics. I remember I was speechless when I heard the song for the first time as intro on Impact's Housedisk 1.


The version of Impact was for Music Module (MSX-AUDIO ) so I tried to create a MSX-STEREO version in Moonblaster.

A slighly modified version with a sort of videoclip you can find on YouTube with the name 2 Felix (after the name of the original artist).

I used it also in the Moonblaster Housemix Between Good and Bad Gabbaheads.
Why is the song so populair ? I have never heard any organ like that and the sample was used in many other housemusic productions...even today...

Felix had a 2nd hit called It Makes Me Crazy, less sucessfull, but still a great song with another hypnotic riff that stays long in your head once you heard it.
Lucky for me it was also made for Moonblaster by Silence so I used it in my Moonblaster Housemix Cryognity Makes Me Crazy

I only included the original videoclips here, cause I don't want to waste time searching for specials, when the originals are special enough.

Here I found some interesting info about Felix. But what are you waiting for ? Get that Impact's Housedisk 1 and play it loud on your MSX-2 !
