DESCRIPTION:
1996 Rare Acid House/ House Repressed - With acclaimed releases on Strictly Rhythm under his belt, much lauded Californian DJ and producer Safar followed up his early success on L.A. based Aqua Boogie. Originally released in 1996, 'Tangerine Train' would become his most sought after release, rightly garnering the attention of the most discerning DJs, record collectors and music heads alike as the eye watering Discogs prices will attest. 4 complimentary mixes of 'Tangerine Train' feature here, so get ready to jump on board.
The 'Absolute Runaway Train Mix' opens proceedings with driving beats and railroad bells. An undulating acid line builds and builds, adding chords that lead to a dramatic breakdown, train FX and strings add to the tension, reaching a mesmeric peak when a killer breakbeat kicks in and the acid line returns. Next up the 'Train Beats Mix' cuts the track back to the percussion and FX for those wanting to get creative in the mix. 'Lost In A Tunnel Of Dub' has all the classic elements of its predecessors, although programmed in a slightly more subtle way, the percussion remains as crisp as ever and a classic organ riff lightens the mood without ever losing the dancefloor energy. Last, but by no means least the 'Last Acid Train To Euphoria Mix' goes on a deeper hypnotic trip, losing the train FX, but adding an ethereal vocal to devastating effect.
For their latest deep dive into house history, the dusty-fingered sonic archelogists behind the Mint Condition imprint have delved into the mid-90s catalogue of San Francisco producer turned sound designer Safar Bake. 'Tangerine Train' first appeared on the tiny Aqua Boogie Records imprint in 1996 and in recent years has become something of an in-demand collectible. This reissue boasts all four mixes from the original 12": the hypnotic, acid-flecked deep house/early deep house fusion of the 'Absolute Runaway Train Mix', the densely layered, pots-and-pans percussion of the 'Runaway Train Beats' version (an insanely good mixing tool), the smooth, organ-based powered deepness of the 'Lost In a Tunnel of Dub Mix', and the pleasingly wild, roughneck, mind-mangling hedonism of the brilliant 'Last Acid Train To Euphoria Mix'.

Last FM Information on Safar
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
"Safar" - or journey - is a Hindi alternative rock band which began its journey in early 2007. The members of this band are in their early 20s and their thought process is a combination of western music coupled with the flavor of Indian classical music -- the end product being an alternative style to Hindi rock.
Safar has been formulated after almost a year of research and composition tasks by its members and have surfaced on the Hindi rock stage moving audiences wherever they performed. The new age guitar riffs coupled with groovy base lines, hard hitting drumming, catchy melodic cleans and classical and powerful vocals have captivated audiences wherever they have performed. The essence of the band lies in the fact that they project deep thoughts of their young minds through a language that appeals
most -- music -- in a unique new style.
The entire concept is to create a new, never before heard style of music and convey ideas in a unique manner.
And yet all that can be said is:
The journey has just begun!
