Farley Knows House
What a classic tune and record. From one of the pioneers. Even though it's a quintessential Chicago House record, it transcends several styles of the era. Disco Electro, Electro Funk, Funk. -
Edited 2 years agoOne of the most impressive house songs to come out in 1985. I believe this EP captures on what’s to come. Underrated. Farley Jackmaster Funk is a legend. -

Edited 17 years agoAmong the first House EPs released, "Funkin' With The Drums Again" appeared when House Music genre was known basically in one city in the World: Chicago.
For "Jack'n The House", Farley Jackmaster Funk inclued a bassline with part of the melody of Kraftwerk's "It's More Fun To Compute" with different timbres, and the combination of a strange "Ho-ow-a-ow-se" samples goin' on repeatedly with a sinister synthesizer melody of prolonged notes. "Jack'n The Trax" keeps the same synth melodies and the "Wooow-Ooww" vocal samples histeria, though on a more minimal concept (the Kraftwerk based synths of the first tune are absent, and the elements in general are reduced). The fragmented vocal samples that appear on the two first tracks go alone with the beats on "Clap'n The Pella", the last tune of A side (by the way a very powerful DJ tool used by artists such as Jeff Mills who overlapped it with Adonis' "No Way Back" in one of his DJ sets at WJLB, 1986).
The other side begins with "Oh My God", a strange House music which samples an industrial/EBM vocal quote from the eighties, probably Dirk Ivens from Klinik (a Belgian band that released the LP "Sabotage" on the same year of 1985).
The most beautiful tune of this EP, "Farley Knows House" prenounces the House spirit with an amazing atmosphere based on melody and percussion combination. The epilogue "Farley Farley" explores the author's sample techniques ad nauseam, another tune made to be a DJ tool.

Dark , very dark Ep. some of those titles are only rhythm tracks or DJ tools. Others are raw minimal tunes, but with a very strong vibe. Tracks like "Farley Knows House" defined the dark side of House Music made in Chicago. We can say 90's techno wouldn't be the same without EPs like "Funkin With The Drums Again". Absolutely a big EP in Dance Music sound evolution.
