Few days ago I did a DJ Session in MOOG Club in Barcelona, Pure electro.
One of the records I selected was this one, the Kraftwerk's Radioactivity remixed by this grammy multi-awared musician, William Orbit, a real freak with the electronic instruments.
One of the things that amaze me more of this version (a part of that he just put the Electro-Funk feeling to this great old song from the masters) is the date and the technics he used with the sampler, you know, this stuff with the voices like Daft Punk or later groups make very popular, changing pitches and repeating wovels. I don't really remember a single other song before 1991 that used this technic like that.
Anyway, this is a dedication to pioneers, and lucky me, I have this vinyl in my power!

Hace unos días hice una sesión de electro en la sala MOOG de Barcelona y uno de los discos que seleccioné, fue éste, el Radioactivity de Kraftwerk remezclado por el multi-premiado con grammys William Orbit, un auténtico fanático de los instrumentos electrónicos.
Una de las cosas que más me sorprenden de esta versión (a parte de que le puso el rollo Electro-Funk a este clásico de los maestros) es la fecha y la técnica que utilizó con el sampler, el rollo de "pitchear" las vocales arriba y abajo, cosa que se ha hecho muy popular desde que Daft Punk y otros grupos posteriores lo hacen. No recuerdo nadie que usase esta técnica antes de 1991, la verdad.
Bueno, aquí dejo una dedicatoria a los pioneros y suerte la mía que tengo este vinilo en mi mueble!
