idjut boys: s/d

china crisis - african and white (39 minutes into part 2)

SO FRESH

oh man i just got a copy of 'beatin' on dave', it is the greatest. so heavy!!

i'd just like to give props to "smokin balls" and "laisn". the kalabrese rmx of laisn is totally fucking sick, as well.

this thread was cute. proto beardo

'Jaz Fook' - Idjut Boys & Laj (from the Noname ep). I LOVED that tune when it came out (in 1994?)!

Phil Collins remix posted on 20jazzfunkgreats is great! A bit of echo turns that piano into an epic rhodes.

i played that out on friday! so good

how was that?

i mentioned it on the techno bobbins thread already but there's a new idjuts 12" proper (not re-edits or remixing someone else) called 'droid'. it's tracky, like 'dj tool' tracky - drums-n-echo and not much else, really minimal.

i heard a suggestion that "droid" was a new sub-label (of noid) for tech-ier stuff. like hairy claw vs bear funk, maybe?

that'd be good! i am... getting a bit burned-out on disco edits.

i am ... also ... a bit ... burned-out ... on ... edits

this looks alright!

so does this actually, hot damn.

anyone got 'droid 2' yet? samples sound like a couple of dubby acid blowouts.

that looks SO good.

looking for "droid 2", "droid 1" was fucking heavy.

i wish i understood how the idjut boys mixed records, they are so good at it and yet it seems like they don't even bother to beatmatch really, they just do some weird-ass mixing board magic and everything just flows together. it is bizarre. i wonder if they use kaoss pads?

like, what is that thing on their discogs.com photo and why does it have a billion wires plugged into it? are they mixing with a 4-track or something?

i believe thats KRANG the alien brain

he's totally going "wicky-wicky" here!

they won't be reissuing their old stuff any time soon, it would seem

"night dubbin" is decent, maybe not quite as crazy as i'd hoped

it's like this: the tracks on the unmixed disc are *fantastic* but for some reason on the mixed disc the energy level seems lower than on the unmixed discs. not sure why that is ... a similar thing seemed to happen on "fistful of ferrets". somehow the idjuts managed to make DC sound tamer and milder than the earlier "death before distemper" volumes. and on "press play" also. are they mellowing with age?

Nobody heard it yet?

Should be on my doorstep today... honestly though I don't know that on any of these 3-disc BBE things that I've ever preferred the mix disc to the unmixed ones, they always seem staged like a relatively perfunctory "bonus" rather than the focus of the package. I suspect that the "mixed by Idjut boys" thing might have been more of an afterthought marketing ploy than the original concept for the release (could be wrong)

a highly subjective "best of" mix just for the hell of it ... pardon the trainwreck or two and the excessive use of reverb and delay towards the end. my excuse is that it's only fitting for the subject matter.

phantom slasher - endup
idjut boys - gentle approach
phantom slasher - poxymoron
idjut boys & quakerman - dum dum de dum
phantom slasher - lasagna for 10
phantom slasher - i got my love
major swellings - assquake
thick as thieves - tiny bubbles
major swellings - spit and dip
phantom slasher - oochie coochie
idjut boys & quakerman - corrective surgery
idjut boys - sweet gerry dynamite

moonship's idjut boys best of

dan & conrad never apologize for reverb & delay

tru dat

good lookin out moonship journey to baja

feedbacks appreciated

the last mix is just embarrassing ... i got distracted and suddenly realized the record had run out ... so i threw on the next one but forgot that i still had the reverb turned all the way up and the pitch turned down from "oochie coochie"

i should go back with audacity or something and throw in a sound effect or something to cover up the silence

also got completely carried away with the delay on "sweet gerry dynamite", hope nobody gets a headache

what is original for this: phantom slasher - i got my love

i know it, but since they cut most of vocals i'm lost

have people already trainspotted most of these? somewhere on ILM? should we if not?

so using my fantastic detective skills (been watching the wire a lot lately) and my impressive knowledge of music, i've come up w/this

GRUBBLE

Lasagne For 10 - Chilly "For Your Love"
Size Doesn't Matter - "Whole Lotta Love" (sounds like tina turner)
Eat Them Jeans
Staying Noid - Richard Ace "Stayin' Alive" (??)
Backwards Is The Best Way Forward. Baby
Satchell On My Door Step - Roxy Music "The Main Thing"
Your Wistful Sigh
Love Ranger

KEY TO THE TRIPOD

Oxymoron - some weird mashup of "genius of love" and "fly like an eagle"
Poxymoron - Boys Town Gang "You're The One"
Tripod - Warp 9 "Nunk"
Le Cock Noir
Blow Me Slow - Hot RS "Slow Blow"
Noid Life - Spandau Ballet "Lifeline"
Nicoteen Five Sinners "Magic"
Una Bella Donna - Junior Byron "Woman"
Tent Pole
Bethlehem
I Got My Love (i NEED to know what this one is. it's killing me)
Sax & Violence - Leroy Hutson "Love The Feeling"
Going Greek - Demis Roussos "I Dig You"

Tent Pole - Class Action "Weekend"

wait damn these shifty titles i think it's Tripod that's "Weekend" actually

Tripod AKA Skull Volley

Size Doesn't Matter - definitely Tina Turner

Eat Them Jeans - Peter Tosh "Buk-In-Hamm Palace"

I Got My Love - Front Page "You Got My Love" (also edited as "You Got Love Song" on c.o.m.b.i.)

did anybody like my miiiiiiiiix???????

i thought major swellings was just prins thomas?

d/ling mix now.

Staying Noid - Richard Ace "Stayin' Alive" (??)

is this the same track sampled for jess & crabbe's "in your eer"? bassline sounds identical..

anybody know the original for "sheen" off the phantom slasher "puddle & spout" CD? sounds like something off CTI maybe??

dan & conrad never apologize for reverb & delay

seriously, criticizing idjut boys for their use of echo is in a way like criticizing hendrix's use of fuzz or zapp's use of talkbox

thanks to the recent horse meat disco comp, we now know "furry whiplash" is a re-edit of "disco jam" by eddie drennon

http://www.factmag.com/2012/03/15/after-20-years-in-the-game-the-idjut-boys-release-their-debut-album

yay!

WTF?

they must mean "first LP of original exclusive productions"

because by my count they've released

noid long player
life: the shoeing you deserve
puddle & spout
gruble
key to the tripod
desire lines

and

more or less / the u-star daze

which admittedly is an early "greatest hits" comp and mix

so which would be the best place to start?
