their dj skills are sub-par,their record collection is not. proceed with caution.

you can hear the a-side of the first release by Fontan on Studio's Information label at their myspace.

i found their early stuff on the internets (2001 - 2002) and damn, they got really good over that 4 year span. origin (shake u down by the river) is the only thing that lasted from that period.

There's a tremendous mix by them here - couple of really clunky transitions but their track selection is pretty much faultless.
I would REALLY LIKE a tracklisting for this, especially need to know what that Kate Bush-esque track is about 25mins in.
I am very excited indeed about tomorrow's Studio/Ame/Chromatics/Simonetti mentalism.

Sally Oldfield - Hide & Seek
And yes it's pretty astonishing. Sally is Mike Oldfield's sister! Can anyone report back on her albums? Judging from the covers the early ones (from late 70s/early 80s) look like lost balearic prog-Britfolk-pop classics, like a proto-Enya maybe.
I'd love to make a mixtape of just stuff like this - Happy Rhodes in particular could totally be repositioned as a hipster curio if you chose the right tracks.
A friend of mine who's really into minimal, dub-techno, dubstep etc. as well as a fair swathe of indie grabbed me recently and handed me his iPod and said "you gotta listen to this, it's amazing!!!" -it was the Ashley Beedle remix of "Running Up That Hill" in the middle of a DJ set, he had no idea what it was.

I quite fancy it, but I'm not very good at staying up late or going 'clubbing' rather than 'indie-discoing' and I'm going to see Low anyway. RA says it might be sold out too.
― Bocken Social Scene, Friday, 18 April 2008 16:30 (5 years ago) Permalink
I bought a ticket months ago because I've been dying to see Chromatics, but I'm old and fat and non-clubby and bummed about having to get to West London post-Chromatics and then get up and work and... fuck!
I wonder who the "special secret guests" are... probably not a band, I guess, with a 2 hour slot like that.
I guess I should just go for it. I know I'll have at least 5 people coming up to me through the night thinking I'm the bouncer. Depressing.
― Savannah Smiles, Friday, 18 April 2008 16:34 (5 years ago) Permalink
The music on that Sally Oldfield sounds like it could be Goblin! The initial riff sounds like something off the Deep Red soundtrack. (No great surprise I guess since they copped a good bit've their act from her bro in the first place).
― Raw Patrick, Friday, 18 April 2008 22:40 (5 years ago) Permalink
Steve - it's sold out, as far as I can tell. There might be a very limited number of tickets available on the door and someone else who's going with us might have one spare but otherwise looks a bit late.
I'm not sure how special or secret those Special Secret Guests would have to be to get me staying past 7.30, mind.
― Matt DC, Friday, 18 April 2008 23:03 (5 years ago) Permalink
I guess I hoped it might be Glass Candy, but apparently there were some issues getting them to come on this tour (which was supposed to be the plan originally, I heard).
― Savannah Smiles, Saturday, 19 April 2008 16:15 (5 years ago) Permalink
The special guests are someone DJing somewhere else in London on that night, or so I read.

Just got this from Bengans:
129:- (EXKL. FRAKT 29:-) RELEASE 28/5
Med sin debut "Yearbook 1" 2007 satte Dan Lissvik och Rasmus Hägg aka. Studio sitt namn ordentligt på världskartan. Hyllningar över hela världen och utsålda konserter följde denna minst sagt stil och banbrytande duo från Göteborg. Inte minst var bandet ett hett namn på remixmarknaden och "Yearbook 2" väver samman dessa mixar som tidigare ej funnits tillängliga på CD. Och det är inga smånamn som Studio kan lägga på sin remix-merit lista. Shout Out Louds, A Mountain Of One, Tangerine Dream och till och med självaste Kylie Minogue.
In english
The new album from swedish remix-masters Dan Lissvik and Rasmus Hägg aka Studio is soon to be released. If you liked Yearbook 1, you will not be disappointed with this!
Tracklist: A Mountain Of One - Brown piano (remake by Studio) Shout Out Louds - Impossible (possible remake by Studio) Love Is All - Turn the radio off (remake by Studio) Rubies - Room without a key (version by Studio) Brennan Green - Escape from chinatown (version by Studio) Kylie Minogue - 2 hearts (version by Studio) Williams/Tangerine Dream - Love on a real train (version by Studio)

from factmagazine:
Gothenburg-based duo Studio will release Yearbook 2, a compilation of their remixes, on June 16 through independent label Information. The follow-up to 2007's glorious West Coast (one of both FACT and Rough Trade's top 10 albums of the year) consists of 7 reversions (they're more like epic Balearic dubs) that Rasmus Hagg and Dan Lissvik previously created for the likes of Kylie, Love Is All, A Mountain of One and all-girl trio Rubies. Described by us, among others, as the missing link betweeen The Cure, Manuel Gottsching and LCD Soundsystem, produced by Martin Hannett, Studio had planned to release their second artist album this summer. However, the pair have scrapped tracks they were working on and are now planning to take a live band into the studio with them this autumn. The resulting LP is expected in early 2009. For now, at least, there's Yearbook 2...

not sure what to expect with a live band, tho -- don't want to be reactionary hater, but i'd rather not see them try to break into the indie scene, & they're hardly shying away from it judging from their choice in bands to remix
― lucas pine, Friday, 16 May 2008 20:58 (5 years ago) Permalink
there's some videos on youtube of the studio palooza tour from last year. maybe this is a taste of things to come. light show~!

― uncannydan, Friday, 16 May 2008 22:31 (5 years ago) Permalink
I would much rather see them with a live band than behind laptops to be honest. The thing that's so great about West Coast is how they've made something so carefully constructed, so precisely sculpted, feel so organic and loose. But I'm not sure that approach would translate to the stage - full band all the way for me.
― Matt DC, Friday, 16 May 2008 22:49 (5 years ago) Permalink
how much of the stuff on the last album was live?
― max, Friday, 16 May 2008 22:50 (5 years ago) Permalink
Ah right, you're talking about the second record. Not sure it would make a huge difference to the end product, except maybe the beats, presumably they can afford to hire session musicians this time around.
― Matt DC, Friday, 16 May 2008 22:51 (5 years ago) Permalink
"not sure what to expect with a live band, tho -- don't want to be reactionary hater, but i'd rather not see them try to break into the indie scene, & they're hardly shying away from it judging from their choice in bands to remix"
Although interestingly their remixes are by and large less indie sounding than the album - or at least more obviously enamoured with disco and sans wailing vocals.
Otherwise I get where you're coming from. I guess it depends on how they do it. I'm hoping that live band doesn't = live studio performance, because what's clear from both the first album and the remixes is how much of the magic of their work comes from the editing and overdubbing process.
But I suspect what "live band" means is: a lot of recording of session musicians and then editing/overdubbing everything into one piece.
― Tim F, Saturday, 17 May 2008 00:47 (5 years ago) Permalink
"their choice in bands to remix" = the bands that are offering them cash. It's not like they're phoning up Love is All and begging to remix them. That's not how it goes.
― Raw Patrick, Saturday, 17 May 2008 01:37 (5 years ago) Permalink
it's not a criticism, patrick! but they're pretty hot right now - yearbook 1 / west coast got into plenty year end lists, they're remixing kylie minogue, and they're balearic's ambassador to the ilx-crit world - so yeah, i think they do get some choice so far as who they want to remix
