Eulogy to DJ Harvey - unsung second greatest DJ of all times

otm but imo a cruise ship is better than a huge hot muddy sweaty field filled with shitty tents.

someone book a festival at a resort and I'll be first in line

a winter non-coachella dance festival in palm springs

I was sad that I was to lame to go to afrika Bambaata tim Sweeney and breakbeat Lou at the Dekalb market party Sunday but next one is Harvey and Danny Wang.

whoa really? when is that? I had assumed Dekalb Market as a dance music spot was kaputt after Dog & Pony moved the Chromatics and Maxxi Soundsystem shows to other venues. I went to see Blondes there, it was pretty good.

fuckin' a

***SAVE THE DATE***
SUNDAY AUGUST 12TH
DJ HARVEY & DANIEL WANG
at DEKALB MARKET

Spread the word!!!

never seen either one of those guys

I've seen harvey a few times, first was the basement of Centro Fly. That was a lot of fun.

Danny Wang was a big influence on me. I remember him djing at Open Air once, tiny "techno" club on St. Marks, back when there were "techno" clubs, real dot-com era, and they had all these video screens with animations on them. He played stuff like the 9 minute version of Passion by the Flirts and Zwei by Electric MInd. I still play that stuff a lot. Stuff like that and She Can't Love You by Chemise really sums up an era for me when I was first going out to like every time Morgan and Danny were djing and people were just starting to play italo again.

danny & harvey together sounds like a really fun party

I only made it to Centro Fly once before it closed. I think by the time I moved to NYC it was on its way out.

BIG BIG QUESTION (and sorry if there's already been discussion about it): Which is your favourite of the Black Cock edits?

is No Way Back a Black Cock edit? if so, that one

otm but imo a cruise ship is better than a huge hot muddy sweaty field filled with shitty tents.

lol, I doubt I'd go to Coachella again but due to the fact it's in a desert, sweat evaporates off you near instantly and there's no mud

I haven't heard them all but I like Liftoman

theres both a black cock and ugly edit of no way back

Love is everything

What's wrong with the original No Way Back!

not hipster enuff

hard to call the original my favorite black cock edit. otherwise nothing wrong with it.

i was kidding btw

hold on a minute

HARVEY'S COMING TO THE UK!
http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=17638

:D

errr I'm probably interviewing him later this week (!!!!!!!!) so if ANY ILXor has any q's for the man himself, give me a shout.

ask him "what's the longest Dj set you've ever played"

;]

how does it feel going from fame and adulation to obscurity and scorn?

is it true you mime along to prerecorded dj sets? and that your live show is actually a dude in a harvey mask?

how does it feel being a pioneer of the "all digital" mp3 scene? do you ever feel inadequate compared to vinyl DJs?

Alex Patterson of the orb and mixmaster Morris can dj with their feet, what can you do?

your son called you a fag, did you belt him?

how do you feel about answering questions not devised by your interviewer?

so tired of the, the whole "I'm interviewing (x) anybody have any questions" thing... method of bragging. Who the fuck solicits interview questions?

aw cmon be nice

it was a bit of a brag, but fuck it, its harvey.

holy shit

i'll see you chicken-heads at the club

ask him why he hasn't played the uk for so long, then go off and read ulysses while he answers.

Convince a Harvey sceptic, any mixes I need to listen to?

The Sarcastic Disco volumes, the old mixes he did for Radio 1, Late Night Sessions, his Beats in Space mixes, I've got a few more somewhere but can't remember what they are. All the pre *the NAME the BRAND DJ HARVEY* stuff you'll find much better if you like your mixes straight up selections and straight mixing. After that it's all fancy mixers and tape effects and tripped out crusty vibes.

I think I'm alone in thinking that his RA 300 mix was like the best thing that site has ever done. Such a challenging and engaging mix, lots of weirdo deep noisy tribal stuff mixed and paced masterfully, lots of moments, a proper trip.

his Beats in Space mixes,

NOT HIS LAST ONE.

he's done this week's I think, tho: http://www.beatsinspace.net/playlists/643

not listened yet but perhaps he doesn't talk for 90 minutes this time.

BIS tweeted about it: "Here is last nights BIS w/ DJ Harvey talking about his UK shows, Gary Stewart, Larry Levan, David Mancuso, Drugs, etc: beatsinspace.net/playlists/643" so sounds like an interview

not sure if either of these are the same as the "300" mix mentioned upthread but they're both awesome:

(best of the 90's themed) http://soundcloud.com/r_co/dj-harvey-essential-mix-26-12-1999

(~eclectic~) http://soundcloud.com/r_co/dj-harvey-essential-mix-31-05-1998

Convince a Harvey sceptic, any mixes I need to listen to?

it's not super representative of what he does but I love Mad Dog Chronicles (heavy rock / funk / beardo)

dj harvey: mad dog chronicles soundtrack

not listened yet but perhaps he doesn't talk for 90 minutes this time.

Just 18 minutes at the start.

why did i procrastinate

bought a copy of the amadeo album for 10 bucks today! :-)

not sure if either of these are the same as the "300" mix mentioned upthread but they're both awesome:

RA 300 was episode 300 of the Resident Advisor RA mix podcast, posted a few months ago; those two are BBC Radio mixes from the 90s, going by the URLs

Had a great chat with him tonight, such an easy/enjoyable person to interview...gives you gold with minimal prodding.

Flopson: Harvey bought the Amadeo record for something like a quarter of a cent in Greece, allegedly, and is glad that he's helped it become a cult classic.

did you ask him about his longest set ever

xp ha! awesome

I knew I forgot something...

gr80 do you know what the very last track on that best of the 1990's essential mix is?

no idea
