21 years looking for this slamming old skool weird song, 21 fucking years!! And I just

 had to type in google "laughing man techno song", that deserves a loudy and long "he he he he he haha".

I remember when this came out in early 95. You would hear this at E.V.E.R.Y. party back in 95. Everyone called it "The Laughing Track."  I first heard it at a warehouse rave in Ohio, tripping my balls off on Windowpane LSD.....this track melted my face off. Dark, brutally stark and UBER minimal. Seriously, the entire record has maybe 4-5 sounds total on it (albeit tweaked to perfection - in the hands of a true artist, a little pitch, filter and amplitude modulation is all you need). 

I will say, though, that this is the only thing Josh Wink did that I ever cared for, and it owes a LOT to the earlier Dan Bell (DBX) release from the previous year, "Losing Control" (Peacefrog Records, 1994) https://www.discogs.com/DBX-Losing-Control/master/40403

"Losing Control" wasn't the only release of Dan Bell's that Josh Wink borrowed ideas from. According to Bell, Josh Wink has a long history of what Bell claims is outright plagiarism and creative stalking (i.e. following Bell's work obsessively and copying his style and techniques on years worth of releases).

Having said that, I still think this track stands on its own and is one of the best House records ever released. The entire Dance Music community is built upon a foundation of borrowed and reworked ideas, plagiarism, style mimicry and imitation. 99% of the records released in any Dance Music genre over the past 40 years, since the inception of Disco and later, Electro, have been near carbon-copies of whatever is hot at the moment.

I remember when Josh debuted this track in Brooklyn @ Electric Circus.  We were kicking dirt in an abandoned warehouse with 3000 people and the sun had just changed the dynamics of the party, we saw each other all filthy & dirty and Josh had purposely been playing Unit Mobius type stuff leading into dropping this....(see Unit Moebius 1).  It was not cute.  Then this came on.  Life changed at that momento.

How can a track with so few elements be so awesome, so hard.... I remember in 95-96, in London this track POUNDED the club scene.

This was played by Smokescreen Sound System in a quarry in Derbyshire in 1995, the laughter was bouncing off the cliffs and it sounded crazy. Good times.

Completely exhausted by gigs after which he had to sleep for three hours, Josh Wink went to his studio to work on the track, but the only thing that he could squeeze out of himself was laughter. “So I said f**k it I’ll record myself laughing.” Back then, he was fascinated by, as he called it, Chicago minimalism: the less, the better. Which meant a Roland TR-909 with elements of classic house and experimental acid. Sound like it’s unfinished but interesting — it’ll do. Don’t laugh was not recorded seriously — it’s a typical sketch: hypnotic, throbbing, diabolic. And besides, it resembled his previous release, How’s the music. Because it was recorded just for fun. But after this, Mike Weiss from a New York label, Nevrous, called. After hearing a funny demo by Wink, which he played as his background music, he immediately asked Wink to send the record to the headquarters of the label. It was Wink’s first big commercial success. Soon he would release Higher state of consciousness. From here https://medium.com/12edit/josh-wink-dont-laugh-story-behind-the-weirdest-track-of-the-90s-club-scene-9e52602fa99

The Laughing Policeman - Charles Jolly  1922/ Penrose-2.36 MIN

Publicado el 13 sept. 2007

The Laughing Policeman is a music hall song by Charles Jolly, the pseudonym of Charles Penrose. In 1922, Penrose made the first recording of this song,

(Columbia Records FB 1184). The composition of the song is officially credited to his wife Mabel under the pseudonym "Billie Grey", however the music and melody are taken from The Laughing Song by George W. Johnson which was recorded in approximately 1901. The Penroses wrote numerous other laughing songs (The Laughing Major, Curate, Steeplechaser, Typist, Lover, etc), but only The Laughing Policeman is remembered today, having sold over a million records. Its popularity continued into the 1970s, as it was a frequently-requested song on the BBC Radio 1 show Junior Choice

My Grandad was put to rest today, they played this as they left the funeral.  It was his favourite song. I can honestly imagine him standing in front of the service pointing at everyone and laughing. RIP Grandad, you will be missed.  You're a legend and you live on within us and our children and our children's children...forever Grandad. Until we meet again. Goodnight. Xxx
-You have to admit, the laughter is infectious.
- My father said this was the first song he heard on a record player. He's 88 year old.
