'Entering the club' intros (Housey Disco-R)

skel

a la Shapeshifters "Lola's Theme", various Daft Punk, Modjo etc etcb, 21b, 21Was the earliest prototype of this really Wham's 'Club Tropicana'? b, 21b, 21It's all about the heavily compressed gated bass drum and bass, then the tinny treble comes in, then (club door opens) and BLAM the track starts pumping full on.b, 21b, 21Can anyone provide a more technical analysis of how this is done? I want to try it on some rock-ish home recordings soon.b, 21b, 21I especially like it when they drop the treble in the middle of a song, it's a realistic recreation of those moments in the club when you nip out for a piss.b, 21Or some other activity.

Mtume's "Tie Me Up" from "You, Me and He"b, 21b, 21Involves discussion of what's happening ce soir, walking to "Neil's", knocking on the door, peep-hole sliding open, asking who's on, strolling inside... A+

skel

The 'Tongue' ost gets semi-ruined for me with the background party ambience going on. Project Soul Ebony is another, rarer funk example similarly flawed.b, 21b, 21The newer (late 90s onwards Euroman disco) tracks eschew the real world detritus noises and focus on creating the sensation of rocking up to the club and getting nearer the music.b, 21b, 21I likes the stylistic device even if the ensuing tracks are often/usually turdly.

Technically I don't know how it's done. Mtume actually walk into a club where they are playing... That's some Dr. Who img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/postmodern.gif" alt="" /1 ish right there - and "Tie Me Up" isn't too turdly. Has a nice bassline.b, 21b, 21I would save mesel a whole heap of time and trouble and just mic myself up and walk into a club... Although knowing how these things usually work, it would sound like this:b, 21b, 21[sound of car slowing to halt] (I might bip the engine for effect (2.3 litres of Trolhattan dynamiteb, 21))b, 21The Petal: "You won't fit it in there." (Pasue)b, 21Me: "You could get a b*stard bus in there, pet." (Pasue)b, 21The Petal: "Men are so pig-headed about parking."b, 21Me: "Hang on... There you go, not a Rizzla to spare at each end."b, 21The Petal: "You'll never get it out now." b, 21b, 21(Pasue)b, 21b, 21Doors shut, pip alarm.b, 21The Petal: "Hang on, I can't walk in these shoes"b, 21The Petal: "Is that the queue? You are joking aren't you?"b, 21Me: "It's alright, we're on the guestlist babe."b, 21b, 21Me [to bouncer]: "We're on the list mate."b, 21Bouncer: "Name?"b, 21Me: "Jim & The Petal"b, 21Bouncer: "Er, whose list?"b, 21Me: "Big Steve - The DJ?"b, 21Bouncer: "He was on last night, not tonight."b, 21b, 21My mate has a fetish for tracks where folls are heard to lock dey whip with a remote fob; he's in search of the perfect "Bip Bip" alarm-arming sound.b, 21b, 21Those long winter nights just fly by.

Oh, and "Cow Cud Is A Twin" from Aphex Twin's "I Care Because You Do" has one of those intros... it's like a friend calling round his house and the music is playing out of little tape player, friend leaves house, slams door shut, and BLAM super-squelchy underwater-reggae track starts.
