Maurice Fulton...best tunes by him

Remixes: I really like House of Jealous Lovers remix.

Do it Proper (Maurice Fulton Remix) - Chicken Lips (Re-Echoed, Re-Extended and Re-Hashed album, Kingsize)
Don't You See - Bibi with Maurice Fulton (Modal)

ps the new Syclops release is great - favouring "the E ticket" at the moment.

according to a friend he's got three tracks on the upcoming future of jazz comp, but i haven't investigated further.

Also search : "Down In The Dungeon" and especially "Moo That Rocked The Electric Chair", both are spectacular and can do serious dancefloor damage if you know what you're doing. In a lighter vein there's also "You Changed My Life" with killer fl00t s0l0 & disco cuts, speaking of which, Susan's prolly right about the heavy-handed sampling on some tracks - then again Moodymann has built a career out of Chic samples and nobody told the duder to stop.

Basically I recommend anything released for Transfusion and the "Up" 12'' on Discfunction (he lives in Britain since a while). The downtempo side of his production used to be dark and rich, like sitting in a life-infested jungle at sundown. I guess the Syclops releases indicate it's getting ruffer in that dept. It's fine retro-sounding future-shaped music anyway.

Remix search : I-Cube "Vacuum Jackers", Walter Jones "All God's Children" (Carl Craig-style genius), Minimal Compact "Happy Babouge"... Fulton = live(-sounding) drum breaks, warped funk bass, more cowbell. Sometimes formulaic but it ends up being enjoyable most of the time, hello again Mr. Kenny Dixon Jr.

leave michael jackson alone, you STUPID BEEEITCH!

anything new from maurice of late?

Can someone re-up some of these, I missed this topic...

did anybody grab the maurice fulton podcast that was up on resident advisor??

i missed it

=(

YSI??

xpost

+ Speaking about "Permanant Vacation" mix (which is great, but then I love anything in which the first adjective involved in describing it is "pretty" - see love for any Ewan Pearson set as well), Vahid, you have to check out Permanant Vaction's Kathy Diamond 12" "All Woman" (produced by Fulton) which is the first single of her coming album "Miss Diamond To You" (which hopefully includes "Sunshine" and other Fulton productions).

For the love of god HOW DO I PRONOUNCE LADYVIPB

hehe, I say Lady VIP B, easy to say I guess hehe

This is of course a purely academic question, as no one I talk to (with my mouth) knows what the hell a "ladyvipb" is, but dammit, enquiring minds want to know.

Maybe it's an anagram.

"badly VIP"

So according to Galkin of the BDA DFA, Syclops are on DFA:

they are signed to DFA now. we have a new 12" out in a few months called Where's Jason K and an LP out early 2008. more details soon.

Syclops record? new MU record??

Reasonably late response, but there are some quotes from Fulton regarding Ladyvipb here http://www.allbusiness.com/retail-trade/miscellaneous-retail-retail-stores-not/4645368-1.html On the other hand I swear I read him saying somewhere that Ladyvipb stood for Lady V.I.P. Bitch aka ex-girlfriend.

Nice to here that there'll be some new Syclops soon.

HEY

does anybody have a tracklisting for the resident advisor podcast??

that barbra streisand re-edit is a must own!!

syclops record "i've got my eye on you" out in april ... looks like it's got some of the tirk singles on it, "where's jasons k", no "monkeypuss", and other new tracks ...

deej - "that barbra streisand re-edit is a must own!!"

were you referring to the RA podcast or is this a maurice fulton edit?

listened to syclops "the fly" the other day, still gives me the chills when that pad synth sound comes in, turns this slightly grating, gimmicky track into something else entirely.

picked up 'stress why put me through it' for cheap yesterday. recognised 'my gigalo' (2manydjs no?). surprised this hasn't had a mention on ilm. no love?

i've posted a bunch about it but i can't find my old posts on it.

I was looking for that thread, when this one got revived. What was it called? Maybe not a specific Fulton thread?

I have Stress, the second Mu album, Where's Jason K, the I:Cube, Rapture, Hot Chip and !!! remixes (and I only just found out that he produced that !!! album) and the RA mix, as well as some of those Bubbletease Communications things. Oh, and Kathy Diamond All Woman and Alice Smith Love Endeavour.

I LOVE all these things - but especially the last two. I saw him DJ at that Lovebox weekender thing last summer and it was great. It all sounded like the Alice Smith remix. Gospel piano house-type stuff. It was amazing.

Erm, so what else do I need?

the version of the song in the RA podcast is not the original

fulton playing in toronto, nyc and sf soon. stay tuned.

so syclops record is good

syclops record is so good

syclops record is SO good

been listening to the stress record a bit lately, it is fantastic. i need to hunt down all the singles from it - chicken lips did a pretty mental dub of 'my gigolo'!

still yet to see syclops record in the shops unfortunately.

would really like to hear that chicken lips version. i should listen to them more.

got syclops today. it's amazing. like he figured out how to accentuate every good part of all his old albums while simultaneously ditching the goofy aspects (flute solos, aimless ambient interludes, creeping un-tunefulness) that held albums like "boof: life is water for gerbadaisies when they're dancing" back.

really, really hard to believe that it's a band, though.

he was pretty insistent upon it, even in person

i think syclops is not very good. it's like an untuneful IDM album. reminds me of Squarepusher's "Music is Rotted One Note". lots of cool sound effects with no substance. no songs. no melodies. the only 2 songs that are any good are The Fly (when those keys come in near the end is really nice) and Where's Jason K.

then again, i'm not a fulton fanboy. didn't really like the Mu album and thought the Kathy Diamond album was just ok. never heard anything else.

if you think this is untuneful you should hear older fulton songs. it gets annoying at times. incredible production, amazing beats, but the synth squiggles are just all over the place.

maybe it's a concept thing. on a certain level it's not so different from ornette coleman's "free funk" albums, where dudes are just vamping all over the place with no regard for anything like a hook.

syclop at least has some hooks?

The Bubbletease podcasts are packed full of incredibly tuneful, melodic and hooky stuff, supposedly all Fulton originals (I've rarely noticed a sample at least). Most of that never sees a release, so I wonder if he just thinks the skronky, squiggly style is what the world wants from him?

God, reading back through this thread has reminded me how badly I want an ID on that awesome fuzzy ambient techno track that comes before the Streisand edit on the RA podcast.

on a certain level it's not so different from ornette coleman's "free funk" albums, where dudes are just vamping all over the place with no regard for anything like a hook.

haha. funny. i'm currently listening to a Jamaaladeen Tacuma album :D

Definitely hear the Music is Rotted One Note, Jaxon, but in a good way, for me at least.

Great variety to the productions, more than I was expecting. Holds up to multiple listenings in a variety of contexts.

Custardmite - You sent me an email re. MF's Japan released 'Mix Show' mix. You didn't leave me an email ad so here's the sendspace link:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/00xm44

this guy is really such a great DJ

at least, when making mixes -- never seen him live. but the new BiS one is great, as was the RA

i saw him once live, it was wicked. not really as floaty as the RA mix or the bubbletease podcasts though, very high disco tempo to the whole thing. seemingly endless edit of that old philly soul classic 'only the strong survive' that just went on and on and on while he abused the EQ will live long in the memory!

yeah i saw him once and i drank waaay too much but his set was awesome! really fun house & disco. didn't realize he had done a mix for RA, must grab that now..

he's one of the deejays i most want to see live that i haven't seen yet. his online mixes are all outstanding.

also for track reccomendations, i see no one has mentioned Cyclops' "Where's Jason's K?" which is insanity of the highest order.

has anybody heard his remix of the theme from 'jaws'???

it's at the beginning of one of the more recent bubbletease communications mixes (no. 50 or later), IIRC

latest bubbletease comm podcast is sounding dope

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kybbl6GO3Cg

^^^ just got this 12" today. so good! produced by maurice fulton. there's another single and maybe a whole album as well?

Yup, there's a full album on Fulton's own BubbleTease label:

http://www.amazon.com/Tungi-Mim-Suleiman/dp/B0032FOABK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1279855054&sr=1-1

Haven't heard it yet, want to very badly.

oh man, i love that song. really wanna hear the album.

are u guys listening to maurice fulton presents UP?
fun drums on Revenge of the Orange

this is dooope

I'm actually really feeling the Mim Suleiman album Tungi on Running Back, produced by Fulton. Groovy Syclops-esque synth-funk with exuberant female vocals in Swahili. plus Fulton is in SF next weekend, can't wait!!

isn't that track like 10 yrs old?

also have we talked about what an odd looking fellow he is?

revenge of the orange is ten yrs old??

yes

came out in 1999, i think on the idjuts-affiliated discfunction records

oh. well, dope song regardless

maurice sure loves himself some mccoy tyner sus chords doesnt he

10 yrs old it sounds like it wS written tmrw

Waaah, Boof's Shhh, Dandelions at Play is exactly what I wanted.

Just got around to listening to Shhh Dandelions At Play and it is very good, a little bit Fulton-on-autopilot but it is so lush and swirly that it's hard to fault.

hey, there's a new Syclops album out

Yay! I love I've Got My Eye On You, such a kinetic delight.
Also, I just found out yesterday that the Bubbletease Communications podcasts apparently have never stopped..! I assumed they did because the feed was never updated after #55. Yesterday I found #72 under Bubbletease Communications's Events, wtf. If anyone has #56 to 71, please let me know :)

Really enjoying the new Syclops album, but massively feeling the Fulton-produced solo album by former Freeform Five vocalist Tamara Barnett-Herrin. It's not anything he didn't do on Kathy Diamond's album but it feels a lot more immediate. Did this slip by everyone else?

^^^ this. I am so into the new Syclops album; I will definitely check out this Tamara Barnett-Herrin one too

I really hope I get to hear "Jump Bugs" on a dancefloor sometime

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-5Saka3vBU

I like to try to come up with words for the abbreviated song titles too ("Sarah's E[ggs] With Extra P[epper]", "Michele's H[onest] With C[had]", etc)

maurice sure loves himself some mccoy tyner sus chords doesnt he

it's humbling to realize how many things ive forgotten about over the years running across old ilx posts

the new boof album is amazing

I listened to it at like 5:30am this morning at the airport and it was really great and kept me moving!

his bass guitar sound is something else. especially on e.g. the recent boof album or the kathy diamond album it's like getting zapped, so much presence and electricity and bounce..

new syclops album coming out

YESSSSS

it's streaming on Bandcamp now

https://syclopsbubbleteasecommunications.bandcamp.com/album/pink-eye

fucking with it heavy

New collab with Peggy Gou

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnsVDzZLazs

omg y’all there’s a new Boof album out from a few days ago AND I just learned him and Roisin collaborated on like an entire album’s worth of material spread across 4 13”s? In 2018???

oops only 12”s sorry

https://u-t-t-e-r.bandcamp.com/merch/utter-5-mutsumi-mutsumi-2xlp-insert

Amazing producer, great DJ, outstanding forehead

I think “incapable” by roisin murphy is a collab with him right? that is a jam

“Incapable” was with DJ Parrot, but I think Maurice worked on the singles she released prior to that.

Boof album rocks

so good

BOOF

BOOF

BOOF BOOF

lads

BOOF

and THAT’S
the BOOF
RUTH

boof

I, for one, agree wholeheartedly

if i may:

boof

otm

still boofin with boof

I made a Spotify playlist of the 8 recent Roisin/Fulton tracks (plus the "Heart of Glass" remix) and it's really excellent.

boof

"the rumble" is my roisin anthem tbrrwu

wish i could have played some of those at the bear functions stevie d!

oh please, you played both "Menergy" and "Cut To The Feeling", what more could a girl want

maybe, some day, menergy will again be had

i have slept on this rec until now. Chicken With Waffles is the best Fulton! so sick

BOOF

boof

idk if this record has my favorite maurice fulton tunes on it (tho the first track and chicken and waffles are up there) but it's definitely a highlight in terms of how it presents his sound. also kind of a love letter to delay effects. also a good weed album.

his percussion always sounds amazing but it sounds extra amazing on this

"the force is going backwards" is my other fav

killer remix

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLes4GiIzy4

kind of the ultimate winter love jam?

jimi tenor - spell (maurice fulton mix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKonZ6N48dE

lmao at the breakdown

total killer

y'all boxedjoy turned me on to this recent Maurice Fulton production that was released with VERY little fanfare but oh my god is it fucking gorgeous, go listen to it ASAP

https://danaew.bandcamp.com/album/good-fruit-2

https://open.spotify.com/album/6er8gruMsQlDjv3ICkVkH2

tbf Maurice Fulton has never really released things with much fanfare either

oh man

one of my favourite things is that errant "-2" on that bandcamp link - it tells a story of the first upload of the album being a mistake in some way and they had to delete it and try again (I know because I have done this myself)

lol interesting

https://mimsuleiman.bandcamp.com/album/poa

new Mim Suleiman album!

it's so good and it's a mystery to me why she isn't way more popular. i saw her live a few years back and it ruled but she doesn't seem to get so many gigs. strange!

It's been 0 days since I've discovered that Maurice's remix of My Heartbeat, by Annie (which I was searching for after 18 years listening to it!), is, in fact, an early version of Syclops' Mom, the Video Broke

oh this is v topical, I was just telling my friend abt Maurice Fulton a few weeks ago and have been slowly assembling him a playlist, and I rediscovered the Kathy Diamond album and JESUS CHRIST is it good!!! All the little snippet interludes give me big Gwen Guthrie "Padlock" (not to mention the music itself) vibes which I feel like had to be deliberate??
