BEARDO DISCO (finally fixed for vahid) - not idjuts / lindstrom - harvey, rub'n'tug, map of africa

I'm just saying, I'm not familiar with all those songs, but I don't think I'd call any of them space disco!

and speaking of Beardo, I hear Dazzle Ships is DJing at Dead Heat next wed at Heathers bar in the east village of manhattan...

OH HEY... I did a mix and posted it at my site yesterday, as long as we're posting mixes:

PS Dan I wish you'd follow Part Time Punks up to SF this weekend!

Spaec Disco is one of those genres, that, when I hear it described, always seems like it is gonna be the most AMAZING thing I've ever heard, but is always slightly disappointing when I hear what seems to come under this term.

Sorry, I'll shut up now.

or space disco, even.

How about just disco tracks by the group SPACE? Cuz they're pretty unbeatable.

my idea of hell.

it'd be nice to go back to San Francisco but I've got a busy busy month!

Kate, if this doesn't excite you, you should probably stop looking for Space Disco!

altair this mix is awesome so far

thanks! definitely some iffy transitions, but I wanted to throw on some tracks that I don't hear played out too much in addition to some of my regular old faves.

i played that Righeira track last night before you showed up

OK, listened to the Altair mix there. Why is it every time I hear something that sounds like what *I* think "Space Disco" SHOULD sound like, there are those magic words "Patrick Cowley remix" after it? ha.

KZA's upcoming album on Mule is, a few songs in, some primo beardo shit. i am kind of in love with him and Force of Nature again. you can hear a track i reviewed for it here: http://www.xlr8r.com/mp3/2009/10/unfaithful

those magic words "Patrick Cowley remix"

ooh please say you've heard his remix of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," aka the most beautiful remix ever!

oh also, just a note: this guy who calls himself CFCF has an album coming out soon, and it sounds kinda like the death of this thing in some ways... i mean, he uses Double Fantasy's "Children of the Universe," which just made me go, "come on asshole, Quiet Village already did this in 06"

i think i hear marianne faithful in that KZA track. wait. def hear it.

yeh, it's there. it was there in my original review, editor took it out.

anyway.

Err, speaking of Space Disco and the band Space. And seeing how people are posting mixes.

And I'm not quite done with it, but would love some feedback.

And Altair that mix looks very tasty, and I swear all the crossover in artists is just a happy coicidence.

Coincidence, gah.

SPACE are releasing a best-of, and apparently making a new album.

uh they've already released THREE

multiple x-post to table

cfcf has actually done some really good stuff; his track 'you hear colours' and remix of cassie's 'official girl' are both a+.

i mean, it wasn't like i was like, 'blech this is terrible.' it's just that nothing on the album struck me perticularly original or engaging, and while i know we're dealing with a genre that is often beholden to older, dustier sounds, his re-working of those sounds isn't terribly good, imo. ('you hear colours' is really, really 'meh'.

wow, my spelling and punctuation are terrible. early morning fogginess, i guess.

haven't heard a ton of CFCF but "Raining Patterns" off Milky Disco 2 sounded pretty good

^ http://www.discohorror.com/mp3/1-11%20Raining%20Patterns.mp3

yea i'm digging this cfcf album actually, maybe not the double fantasy sample per se (even tho it is slightly more danceable than the quiet village version) but i definitely like the fleetwood mac cover and "come closer" and the rest of the second half of the album. hard to see anything too objectionable about it tbh

Pulled my mix down for the moment, still needs some tightening.

Thanks for listening whoever downloaded it though!

eh, it just doesn't do much for me.

whereas this Jackpot record (the 9th installation of the rvng thing) is totally blowing my mind right now. one of the tracks is here. http://palmsout.net/2009/10/10/rvng-of-the-nrds-9-jackpot/

but they're all ace.

lol quiet village fever: song on cfcf myspace samples alan parsons project "voyager"...

yup. i mean, sorry dude, but you're not from stockholm or oslo = no cred in the disco edits game.

WTF? says who?

my internet sarcasm is off. i have a cold.

anyway, yeah, that was meant to be sarcastic.

i just don't really get how people could be getting all 'oooh' over a guy who's doing middling beardo shit, including fleetwood mac covers, as well as sampling shit that's been sampled recently and to much more credit to the genre.

i don't think anyone is getting too worked up about it, but the album does have its charms ("snake charmer" being a new favorite)

anyhow- this new q&a thing on dfa with alexis from arp and quinn from the phenomenal handclap band is also great, same with the phcb remixes by prins thomas and the glimmers

Prins Thomas miks of PHCB is pretty boring to me. first one where I'm like "ok really this is TOO LONG"

takes forever to get going and the part before the vocals come in is pretty flat. imo.

I like the miks. But then again, I'm a dirty dronerock girl for whom 12 minute songs that take forever to get going are really kind of par for the course. (also, I like the original song so much that I want it to go on forever and ever and ever.)

CFCF, however, I could not get more than two and a half minutes into. Too much Botox Disco in the mix. Do not like the synth sounds.

Agreed, those synths have no place in this thread... Let's stick to the topic- more Jeremy Spencer Band, a lot less Jackpot. In that spirit I wanna mention how great The Stallions are gonna be. That's Lovefingers AND Lee Douglas together making 'western style' disco. 'Stallion's Suite' is a total epic. Can not wait to see these guys next month, expectations are very high.. Also, Map of Africa has an LP due soon-ish, anyone know when?

i think "you'll disappear" is easily the best thing on the phcb album, so like kate i appreciate the massive extended miks. i never was very into the original "15 to 20" tho, so i'm a lot more excited about actually being sold on the glimmers mix- which is a lot less flat and adds a nice tom tom club sample (i think?) and is about 10x more fun. iMo

the 2 stallions tracks on their myspace are fantastic, but i want a physical release! isn't that supposed to happen soon?

does musiccargo belong here? i'm not sure where else we could talk about them- their recent remix of grackle is pretty infectious, but has anyone heard the album ('hand in hand') yet?

i just don't really get how people could be getting all 'oooh' over a guy who's doing middling beardo shit, including fleetwood mac covers

lol, this just sent me straight to his myspace btw

also this:

Too much Botox Disco in the mix.

is a draw imo

gott damn im loving this mix:
