ANUMBEROFNAMES SHAREVARI
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2008
- Two recordings by Detroit artists introduced the earliest beginnings of techno as its own style and genre. This track and "Alleys of your mind" by Cybotron are the two in question. In essence, this track is regarded by many as being the very first Detroit Techno track to hit the streets. The name Sharevari evolved from the legendary Charivari parties that began attracting a cult following in 1980 and was a tribute to Detroit's high school party scene. The track name was altered slightly to avoid any possible conflict with the Charivari party promoters. Apparently (source Techno Rebels The Renegades Of Electronic Funk book), the legendary radio jock Charles Johnson, also known as "the Electrifying Mojo" (or simply Mojo) was in the crowd the night Sharevari was first played at a Charivari party. He convinced A Number Of Names to come down to his show on radio station WGPR. Although there were only three writers credited on the record (Paul Lesley, Sterling Jones and Roderick Simpson), a virtual army of band members showed up and crammed into the DJ booth. According to Mojo, they said "What do we call ourselves? We don't have a name". Mojo said, "How may of you are there? Quite a few - why don't your call yourselves A Number Of Names?". Mojo played the record and people went crazy over it. A Number Of Names (now so called) were actually pushing a different song "Skitso" but he said "Sharevari is the one I am going to play". And so this record became one of the most important records in the evolution of techno music. A true seminal release. You will also notice that the catalogue number is P-928, which is a reference to a Porsche 928 as referred to in the lyrics of this record.
The lead vocalist is my brother-in law Paul Lesley , the group sends many thanks for all the support shown for this song.
The Scene baby!
The Viscount Windsor
When I hear this song I think of all zoot suits with their popped collars, platform shoes and slicked back hair. For real.
😮😮😮
fuck yeah
I knew it. Just checking and settling arguments over here. The Electrifying MOJO was the man! I grew up listening to that guy as a kid. I think he the reason I love Prince and all things FUNKY!
Detroit Techno forever! Thank you to Mojo for making all these gems classics!
Thank you I always tell people this came out before Cybotron 81 ALWAYS comes before 83, the lead vocalist is my brother-in law. I introduced them at the 2001 DEMF ,with Mago Mike and stated this first as such.
I'm judson Powells baby brother 🤣🤣
The Sound Of Detroit, always will be home to me.
This was sounding really good from Jeff Mills at Movement 2022
GTA VI soundtrack already looks dope
When I was about 7 my brother in the UK used to get these mixtapes of the electrifying mojo and that's where I remember hearing this. Classic that turned me on to the underground for ever more
Early '80s in Detroit burbs.....Listening to MOJO and as a high school kid this music rocked then and still rocks today! One could write a book on the good times!
Shout out to the original members of The 'Maniacs(Benny High) Charivari and Gables..1980-1982 y'all know what time it is!
best tunes in vice city
This was a party starter at the basement parties on the eastside. Thanks
I can remember dancing in the kitchen with my cousin and washing the dishes back in the day.....HAHAHA!!!!! Breaking it down
Native Detroit gal here. Loved this song as a young teen and listened to Electrifying Mojo all the time! Such a great era!
Cruisin' with his hot playmate, in his Porsche 928! Awesome track!
I remember this being played on "The Scene" - around 1982. I was a dancer on the show. GREAT jam.
My her i was born December 1982 two days after Christmas
Yes Tracey ❤️ loved it I remember you
Nat Morris has uploaded a lot of videos from the scene. Type in the search " nat morris shari vari ".
thinking that one day GTA6 will come out and maybe as an intro this banger serves as an introduction perhaps with a shooter mission like only rockstars can do gives me hope
Idk about this being the intro
One of the illest tracks on the planet no question
Yes really, it has a steady enough tempo to jump rope to. Well Chicagowax, you just made my day. They love stuff like this in Japan.
6hrs of dancing tonight ended with the djay droppin this at 5am. fuckin lost it. ++++.
Thanks Chitown, I taught some of my kids in Takashino to jump rope to this song. They love it once they got over the initial giggling and laughter.
I love this song and its the jam. Everytime I hear Sharvari I want to get up and dance.
Awesome Detroit techno
You Shazamed GTA 6 Leak.
Yes pal
Lol yep. I'm 24 and into this music. But never heard this one before.
Bruh, its from GTAO, they used GTA V/Online's stations as a placeholder
GTA VI is gonna have some bangers 🔥❤
thanks for the great insight to the history of the record. one of the greatest songs in EDM history, in my opinion.
There was the great NY store Charivari which was a mecca for avant garde designers in the 80's and early 90's.
Detroit...the birth of techno. We own the title
Unfortunately nothing else than a fake title. Right from the beginning they copied Kraftwerk's/Ultravox' Electro-Funk and Synthpop sound. Then they started to imitate Chicago's House/Acid sound... And later in 1988/89 they tried to create something new and called it "Detroit Techno". At that time, Techno already existed worldwide.
A Number of Names' '81 track is really something special...but that's the only track. There was no Techno movement at that time. And there was no Techno movement five years later... In 1986, the world was flooded by Hi-NRG, Italo-Disco, House music, Hip Hop... but no Techno.
I'm just saying that the actual word "Techno" was formed in Detroit. You have to go back a little further than the late 80's. Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Carl Craigslist, and Kevin Sanderson pioneered the Detroit techno sound in the early to mid 80's. And yes Kraftwerk are the originators of the sound. I have most of there albums.
Jack Scott
For the use of the term "Techno" you have to go back to 1979. Detroit didn't invent anything. In 1981/82 the term Techno was well established. It described New Wave/Synthpop music from Europe and Japan. Even in the US it has been used in Los Angeles and Chicago to describe SynthPop/New Wave music, incl. Technopop such as Kraftwerk.
Detroit's early music was Electro, not Techno. The term "Detroit Techno" didn't exist until 1988.
***** You're an idiot. Kraftwerk's work lacks the Funk/Electro/Disco/house sounds that American, specially Afro-American originated music has. Kraftwerk's stuff is nothing like this & is pure synthpop electronic classic influenced music most of the time. Techno on the other hand is very much influenced by electro/disco etc.
Jack Scott You do know this guy you're arguing with is a Nazi? looool look over his Google+ page. I Ioled so hard man.
This song is in GTA 6, pretty cool
what?
@LucasMartins-zv3oh it was in the leaks back in 2022 context: lucia standing in a bar near the beach and this plus playing in the background, but it was the dirt bombs version.
@@irishgaming1651 bro, thats amazing, really excited to play gta 6
This is going to be in GTA VI.
U know somthing I don't homie haha
This song is already in GTAO on 2 different radio stations…
@@Isonovety it also appears in a scripted sequence from the first batch of GTAVI leaks.
It was the 80's, I was a teen and didn't have a care in the world 😆
Help!!! My heads started bopping up and down!!! Now my feet Wont Stop Movin'!!! Whooooah, sideways... sideways!!!! Helppppp!!! Even the dog is dancin'!!!
Wow, this takes me waaay back; Electrotabulous post Chicagowax.
Smoking on a cigarette , listening the car-cassette !
Daren Lorengard talking about gigolos, that was my favorite groove. I can dig. do the French gigolo.
RIP "New York" My Friend. The Voice behind This CLASSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!! You Will Be Missed !!!!!!!!!
Paul Lesley?
Paul Lesley is alive & kicking, talked to him 4/15/2020. I'm his brother in-law
@@scutte2000 Juan Atkins vocals also.....Xoxo always....
thats one of my FAVORITE videos on youtube! i...was...born in 1982 :/
Amazing history in the description, thank you !!
So old, so cool.
I'm from Denmark and I missed it back then.
Heard it first time in 2001, I think😊
Love this track and hate to admit that I’ve gone decades without a 12” copy in my crates. The importance and influence of pioneers such as Depeche Mode cannot be overstated when listening to/learning about the seedlings of techno and other blossoming electronic genres of the time (Speak & Spell actually came out the same year as this, 1981, but DM’s music had been circulating among djs and the underground for over a year at this point) This gem of a track is testament to that. Thanks for sharing 👍🙏
Extraordinaire ! The best title of electro music for Ever .
Incroyable description ! Merci pour les infos ! PEACE
Absolutely magical electronic gem, thanks for uploading, man!
Thank you for this track and this great music lesson. :)
this was so ahead of its time
Ayyy.. I'm here for GTA 6, let's go.
Heard that this one Detroit dude recently dug thru the invoices at the pressing plant where they did both Shari Vari and Alleys of Your Mind -- It was still ambiguous which was recorded and/or released first.
This shit go hard Motown we up
I need to get that Techno Rebels book! I also need to put this on a Cd for my "Cosmic Car". this song is pure BOSS.
hi
Looks like this song is gonna be on the GTA VI radio
Ok...i see where Daft Punk got a LOT of their flava from!😳
Aldi gut diese
EPIC!
Now this is one hard-to-find record! Thanks for posting. Got remixed by Ectomorph and Vitalic & The Hacker in 2001. Great tunes, but I like this original one the most.
I love you, Aldi!!! 💖

It has the feel that makes techno techno.......
Dope !!

Omg 🔥 🔥 this shit is lit af still 😆 ayeeeeeeeee does robot an hip roll dance😛
@trevormail.....alleys of your mind summer of 81......sharivari came late summer early fall of the same year.....remember L'umo's 7 mile & john r.....
L'umo's was that spot. I had the Longine watch, squirted that lagerfiled on with them top tens, jeans, adidas Tshirt and campaign hat on they ass.
7 Mile
Love it
I like Detroit - I prefer Chicago, they are still banging out the tunes despite the war on the streets
GTA6 bringing this backkkkk
Who in Detroit remembers the sharevari highschool party's wave
I do. I graduated from Cass in ‘84 :)
I do
Juan Atkins dropped this in my rave days ..long time ago
Yessssss
My cousin Daryl used to be with my man who produced this joint 💯
I think he is trying to sound like a sophisticated Frenchman. The song is named after a party crew the early 80's in Detroit called "Charivari".
Yes. They were a part of the party crew, like Snobs and Brats. I was at Cass Tech then :)
Mayday for ever
Here before GTA VI
Grand theft auto 6 brought me here yes you heard that correctly 😮
GTA 6. You'll know what I mean in a few years.
High school jam! Who remembers Club Luomo's?
I think that I have the flyer to party that this song was released, I know for sure I was at that party.
Patrick Rutledge do u remember the “Y”?
That club was on 7 Mile and John R.
@@kreloswingate638 across from Aruba Palace, & that fire station. 😉
awesome, 1980's chicago techno house, music was at its best in this era of time, the music producers and artists were more creative then, there was more style, uniqueness to music then, nowadays all music sounds same, rock da house, 5 stars
Yeah, this is great.
Best two step ever
Aha, Tambian88, I take then you remember MFA, if you're in car honk your horn, or flash your headlights. If you're at home flick your porch light off, and on to let people know you're down with M.F.A. And now its time for Star Wars 45, Rick James vs Prince.
Damn i am liking house!!
YES PLEASE SOMEONE POST " SKITSO " ~~~ THAT WAS THE BIG TRACK in DETROIT when i was a kid ....it was THE BOMB !!!!!!!!!!!!
I heard this because of electronic beats.... this song was never mentioned anywhere.....
