Adam X meets Damon Wild - Sonic Groove Podcast

[@marislusis2106]

Much better to hear these conversations than listening nowdays techno. ❤

[@sonicgroove5395]

Thanks for the tuning in! There is still some great music coming out but very time consuming to sift thru weekly to find the gems.

[@SiK-sz9ex]

Quality interview, so good to get background and context to the tunes we brought and dance to. Great work guys .

[@GraemeDJ]

This series just brings big smiles. You're a good interviewer Adam. I played with you on your first trip to San Francisco at an outdoor rave back in 92-93. The local sheriff threatened to come out and shut it down because you kept getting on the mic and shouting stuff about Brooklyn. You played banging acid tracks your whole set I hooked you up with Donna Summer's 'I feel Love' and had a bunch of NY DJs come out asking me for it -sold em for $100 a pop. Helped me pay my rent ; ). Good times. Can't wait to see you interview Frankie!

[@sonicgroove5395]

Ah so crazy to hear from you Graeme. My bro and I were literally just talking about this amazing record from you last week www.discogs.com/release/170986-DJ-Graeme-Illectric-Ghetto (no lie!) I remember the party, it was called Felix & it was about 1 hour and half hours north of Frisco in a field. I don't recall my set or getting on the mic but I do remember Derrick Carter played the Patrick Cowley remix of Donna Summer, I Feel Love at around 8AM on some insane for the time Turbo rig, one of you told me a store in SF had a copy. I don't remember the shop or going there but stillI have and cherish the record from that trip...and man was that mission the trip ;)

[@sonicgroove5395]

Graeme awesome to hear from you and also coincidental. My brother and I were literally just talking last week about how good your "Back To The Future " release is. I have vague memories of that rave. It was called Felix ( I still have the fllyer for it) and it was 1.5 hours north of SF. I don't recall my set at all but I remember Derrick Carter playing on this field with the dust kicking up at sunrise on a Turbo rig, He dropped the Patrick Cowley remix of I Feel Love. This was the first time I heard it and was blown away. I remember one of you told me that a shop in SF had it and then I went and got it the next day. I have no recollection of the shop I bought it in. I still have it in my collection! (to death due me part with it;) What a trip(pun intended) down memory lane :)

[@GraemeDJ]

@@sonicgroove5395 Hey Adam thanks for the love. In fact I played Donna Summer and you asked me about it and you got it at the Record Rack in the Castro. Onionz came out a few weeks later and I sold him a copy and then a few other East coast DJs came out and I sold some more. Yes the party was called Feel-X and DJ Dan and I hung out with you in the morning. Feel-X became Funky Tekno Tribe and Joey Beltram played at one of the parties a few years later and played a wicked set. I live in paris now- hit me up if you ever come through. Peace.

[@sonicgroove5395]

@@GraemeDJ Oh damn sorry for the miscredit, it's so long ago , it's all so vague. I remember small bits of that trip. Def will get at you if I come thru to Paris.

[@hdsubstance1]

Again a massive piece of knowledge and experiences.

yo my friend! , Thanks for watching!

[@plastikdreams6409]

Thank god I have came across this podcast this is so good! Damon Wild is a legend

[@SonicGroovePodcast]

Great to hear. Check out the other pods.

[@graearea101]

Sonic Groove and Synewave - 2 highly meaningful memories of the 1990s - still perfectly relevant. I could listen to these guys chatting for hours and take notes every 30 sec :)

[@SonicGroovePodcast]

Many thanks for the tuning in and leaving a very motivational comment here. It's very much appreciated!

[@levinsonl]

Where is Steve Stoll? Would love to hear an interview with him

[@alka7145]

Great interview guys, thanks.

[@mapuppa]

Brilliant again Adam, another very humble guy, Damon , top stuff 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@sonicgroove5395]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@christiansmith347]

Damon was a huge influence on me! "Avion" "Ego Acid" He was one of the best acid producers as well! etc...so so many good tracks! Nothing but respect! ❤

[@SonicGroovePodcast]

word up, Damon made great acid stuff. I love the lesser known Data Sync on Geometric. That one is pure fire.

[@evanrobinson8662]

Kurt Eckes and Woody McBride, Lenny Dee, and Tommy Sunshine 5:13 please! The series is amazing, great job all around. Midwest remembers all the great times. We really want to see you interview Heather Heart and Carlos too.

[@AdamZinanni]

@evanrobinson8662 god that'd be great. U been going 2 all the recent dropbass parties at castle bass and the kompound n shit? It's been entirely outta control. 🙂🙂🙂adam x played at castle bass at the party b4 last. It was amazing. Rave is fully back in effect in the midwest, I go to undergrounds in chicago every weekend. I would watch a million more episodes of this show

[@SonicGroovePodcast]

@@AdamZinanni A million more are coming. 😉 I'm on a mission!

[@AdamZinanni]

@SonicGroovePodcast bro, I honestly can't wait. Keep killing it yo🤘🏻🥁📢🚨🤌🏻🚨📢🥁🤘🏻

[@JasonSiegel]

Excellent! can't wait for the next episode

[@tnt90s]

Great insight, great philosophies. I'm very glad I've stumbled upon these podcasts. I'm irritated that I'm so late to the party though. Loved Acid Masters records, Acid Flash, Equinox, early Xperimental etc P.S. The Toxic Two Remix of Tim Taylor - The Horn Track is vastly underrated. Massive at Knowledge at SW1 Club.

[@SonicGroovePodcast]

Better late than never 😉

[@606808909]

YESSSSSSSS

[@AdamZinanni]

This show is amazing, make more🕯🙏🏻🕯 it'd be amazing even without guests, you just talking about your story, your experience in the rave scene. Stories of parties and where you went and what happened, tracks you made that blew my mind like in the dark of night....etc. great show, keep it up bro🤘🏻

[@sonicgroove5395]

Thanks for the nice comment, much appreciated!

[@altberg__]

thanks adam. so refreshing this series.

[@tommyist598]

Great series of interviews damon wild total understated techno legend - atmospheric, experimental and synewave all had a big effect on me and so much appreciated to this day. Also first heard Adam x via a mix on the Colin Faver kiss fm show way back. Cheers 🙏❤️

[@sonicgroove5395]

oh wow that mix on Kiss FM. That was a sloppy mix, I was nervous up there ;)

[@alexandersidor765]

Enjoyed this one Adam. I remember this part of ny and loved coming into the shop on carmine.

[@ryanconnelly9399]

I love the history!!!

[@sprungingforvoltage]

[@sonicgroove5395]

Thanks and yes Im gonna keep on keeping on

[@ed.earmand2611]

Yes!

[@MagnificentMusic-dq7fn]

@sonicgroove5395 Yet another super informative interview with a barrage of sidestories and anecdotes being unleashed. Thanks Adam :) Hailing from Copenhagen it's also nice to witness the brief shout out to DJ Duke @ Mars, who happened to be a pioneer of early break dancing, scratching and street culture in general way back in Denmark. He even came third in the DMC 1987 World Technics Championships. Klaus

[@sonicgroove5395]

Thanks, Glad you like! I didn't know that about Duke, very interesting. Any idea whatever happened to him?

[@jaydamalley3398]

Good to see Morph still got brought up. Such an excellent album came out of it.

[@sonicgroove5395]

that was a great project!

[@ADSX_303]

Damon is my favourite Producer in Techno. ⏺

2 absolute hereos having a chat, sweet inspiration 🖤🖤

[@nobordersnoflags9905]

Great interview. He's a very chilled guy. Did I miss the Mundo Muzique chat though??

[@SonicGroovePodcast]

I’ve not chatted with Mundo.

[@nobordersnoflags9905]

@SonicGroovePodcast no, in the burb for this video it says you will be talking about Mundo among other things but I didn't hear anything about MM mentioned. no big deal.

[@germsgems]

Adam love these man!! Best Germ

[@sonicgroove5395]

Thanks!

[@ibojohnson]

Thank you very much for this series! I would appreciate it so much if you could interview Renaat Vandepapeliere.

[@SonicGroovePodcast]

Just out of interest, why Renaat?

[@ibojohnson]

@@SonicGroovePodcast Well Adam, basically because the man deserves it. He's such a nice guy, known worldwide, and a walking encyclopidia about electronic music, he has so many stories to tell and his turning 67 years old. How his little apartment, in tiny Belgium, with Sabine turned into a studio which created so many classics on the R&S label, is pretty unique. Oh, I would so like to hear all the stories about R&S, stories about Joey Beltram, Cj Bolland, Outlander, Juan Atkins, Richard D James, Dave Angel,... I think you're a great fan of R&S and Belgian techno so that's why I asked. R&S is featured in all of the three Sonic Groove Podcasts so far 😉 You would be perfect to do that interview; you're a great interviewer with lots of knowledge and I think you could make this happen and I have no doubt that it will be an epic interview because you know and appreciate R&S had a great influence worldwide. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you want to interview him 😉 And I'm from Belgium, that's another reason 😀

[@sonicgroove5395]

@@ibojohnson This is Adam here, the producer of the show asked the question above. I am not opposed to interview Renaat at some point but I just did CJ Bolland and Outlander together which has a lot of discussion about the early days of R&S so I want to keep a diverse mix of artists for now.

[@tienaldt]

digging the podcast. Get Scott Henry up in there!!

[@dennisgenovese227]

STEVE STOLL 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@alexbialas]

I wish you guys talked about the time when Damon was releasing stuffs for Xperimental records. This label brought a lot of attention to New York. If Acid Trance is today a term frowned upon, some great early stuff in that style came out from this label…

[@sonicgroove5395]

Did you listen through because it was discussed

[@alexbialas]

Watched it again and yes you guys talked about it . Would have loved to know how Damon met with many of the guys he signed on Experimental… Ray Love, Tim Taylor… I was a big fan of the label back then .

[@sonicgroove5395]

@@alexbialas I can tell you that Damon met Ray Love at Groove Records in Brooklyn where Ray worked with us in the shop. Tim Taylor was the UK manager for my brother Frankie Bones in 1989, early 1990.Tim worked with Northcott productions which Experimental came out of.

[@alexbialas]

@@sonicgroove5395 Cool! We saw Tim Taylor play a lot in France after the Bang the Acid release, I guess this collaboration with Damon jump started his carrier …

[@dizisnotavailable]

so dj power out is joey beltram??

[@tonyborie788]

Love the podcast.. get Heather to be a guest.

[@dennisgenovese227]

You need to interview Mike Dearborn.
