Slow Techno : Carl Craig - Domina / Dominas & Maurizio - Domina (Carl Craig's Mind Mix)

carl craig domina record centre
Carl Craig - proper legend! Here we have a deep, lush and beautiful outing from the Detroit master.

Interestingly, this was released as both a remix and an original track. It features as a remix of Maurizio's - 'Domina' but also as an original track 'Dominas' on the exceptional Carl Craig album 'More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art.' Please buy that album if you do not own it already. In fact, if you do own it, buy yourself a spare copy.

Perfect slow techno at a deep 126BPM. This gem dates back to 1993. To this day this is still an aural delight. Lush textures, deep grooves, hypnotic vibes and a warm centre make this a great listening experience or groover on the floor. Hit that rewind button on the player. Enjoy this one over and over again.

Slow Techno : Basement Jaxx - Raw S#it

basement jaxx raw s#it record centreYes, you did read that title correctly! A Basement Jaxx track on SlowTechno.com - what is going on?

Well, these two legends are the market leaders of house music and are a pair of mighty fine producers but on this occasion their dark 'n' dirty side comes to the fore. Many will argue that this is dirty house music and they would be right. However, this has a rawness and energy that is truly in the spirit of techno. It is great to see a track like this come out of the house scene and work so well in a slow techno context.

'Raw S#it' was released all the way back in 1997 on the great Atlantic Jaxx label. You will find this hidden away on the b-side of the 'Urban Haze' EP. The Jaxx have done a few other dirty distorted numbers during their time - seek them out!
