8 Tracks To Reminisce – Steve O’Sullivan

 
Music

As well as being the owner of the Mosaic and Bluespirit labels, Steve O'Sullivan is the producer of some minimalistic, slowly evolving club tracks. Currently releasing music on the Sushitech imprint (currently celebrating 10 years) here, he gives 8 tracks to reminisce to… some crackers in here including some superb dub action from Prince Far I and Fatman Riddim Section!

Steve O'Sullivan plays the Rhythmatic room at Cocoon London at Building Six, London on Saturday 28th March – tickets are available here.

LISTEN
Prince Far I - Bedward The Flying Preacher

The first Prince Far-I tune I discovered and one that still remains special to me. As they say in Hollywood ‘based on a true story’.

  • Prince Far I - Bedward The Flying Preacher

    The first Prince Far-I tune I discovered and one that still remains special to me. As they say in Hollywood ‘based on a true story’.

  • Fatman Riddim Section - General Amin

    A good solid dub always ticks the right boxes and this one works a treat.

  • Tackhead - What's My Mission Now?

    I could choose any number of Tackhead or Adrian Sherwood productions from the mid/late ’80s but there’s always been something special about this tune. A fantastic combination of electronics, funk and dubbed out fx. It may have dated a little and it’s clearly not easy listening but I’ve always liked a challenge.

  • Front 242 - Funkahdafi

    Another mid-80s cut… This time from the Belgian maestro’s Front 242. It may sound less than impressive to modern ears but this was cutting edge stuff to me back then.

  • Renegade Soundwave - The Phantom (It's In There)

    A stone cold classic with a bassline and drum pattern to get totally lost in. As much as I am a huge fan of their early tracks this overshadows their entire discography for me – they really did step up their game with this one. A proper masterpiece.

  • Meat Beat Manifesto 1987 12 Inch Radio Babylon

    Ok, it may not be the most obscure track but without doubt its the only Boney M sampling record you can own and retain some credibility.

  • Robert Hood-Master Builder-(Original Mix)

    Uncompromising minimal techno of the highest order. I just love the way he strips the music down to its basic elements whilst keeping things interesting for the listener and then there’s the groove. Unbeatable.

  • Jeff Mills-Humana

    Pure, beautiful and emotional techno from one of the true legends of techno and one that even after all of these years still sounds other-worldy and futuristic.
