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

the map of africa stuff ranges from fantastic (1st EP) to mediocre (the 2nd EP) to in-between (3rd EP).

"black skin blue eyed boys" is a fantastic cover, but i particularly like "map of africa", which reminds me of man called adam at their most tripped-out and ambient (search: the live mix of "so you say")

Dang! Answered my own question kind of, but for those who were(n't) wondering, the track I was thinking edited/sampled "East 6th Street" was Black Cock's "Cosmic." However, according to this post on Dream Chimney, Black Cock actually used Tony Sylver's cover of "East 6th Street" which he called "Cosmic Lady." To confuse matters more, Magick Edit Allstars did, in fact, do an edit of the original "East 6th Street" which I'm pretty sure I downloaded at some point. Anyway, there you have it, thanks for reading.

does Ameobea do mailorder?

@v4hid: have you listened to the snippets of the album tracks on piccadilly?

how long do songs stay up on dream chimney?

I think one day or so.

amoeba technically does not do mail order BUT if you call and are nice on the phone we might send something to you. i dunno if we've ever done it for vinyl so it'd be worth a shot.

the Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve remixes i've heard = sooo good.

also, in case it hasn't been seen

is the MOA record gonna be any good? the singles were pretty spotty.

Press release for Prins Thomas' "Cosmo Galactic Prism" mix mentioned above (taken from the DJ History thread, also x-post), out June 25 on Eskimo:

Prins Thomas is by now intrinsically linked to the eclectic and ‘space-disco’ sounds emanating from his homeland, Norway. Alongside Hans-Peter Lindstrøm their eponymous debut album and up and coming ‘Reinterpretations’ re-workings have opened up their so-called ‘Cosmic Disco’ sounds to a whole new audience of music lovers. Having already garnered international acclaim for his own DJing skills the world over we now get to sample a snapshot of Thomas M. Hermansen in action across two sumptuous discs of avant-garde dance grooves, twisted funk, spaced-out electronics, psychadelic fusion, classic techno, disco, prog rock and all manner of leftfield concoctions. Across 38 tracks we get Hawkwind jamming with Visnadi, Bob James going toe to toe with The Salsoul Invention, Joe Meek twisting by the pool with Holger Czukay, Boards of Canada segueing into Prins Thomas’s Norwegian cohort Lindstrøm and Closer Musik doing the Detroit tango with Recloose, Carl Craig and Parliament.

His own label Full Pupp has some of the best house-not-house, neo-disco or call-it-what-you-want dance music records to offer that you heard in a long time. All made by exclusive Norwegian talent, a new outfit called Internasjonal will join the global dots with producers from all corners of the known-world, where he currently turns up every weekend with a crate of vinyl, his record grips and an immaculate way to play with it. In other words, there is no stopping him now.

Prins Thomas has been making a name for himself with his own releases, remixes for Blackjoy, Justus Köhncke, Force Of Nature, Simian Mobile Disco to name a few (phew...) and breaking sound systems the world over as a DJ of eclectic dexterity. But it was not always like that. The Prins had to go through the school of hard knocks like so many before him. Back, way back in time, he started playing around as a DJ at a puerile age. Viewed as an extension of his break-dancing efforts, belt-driven turntables were enough to support his mix of hip hop, electro and an array of Arthur Baker’s and Shep Pettibone’s jewels. But as soon as he picked up the bass and played in more bands than Norway has trees, the joy of the turntable took a back seat. Until the early nineties arrived that is. Prins still didn’t have his reliable gang of co-conspirators, but he picked up a weekly residence, where he championed sounds as far fetched as Miles Davis or The Doors together with the craze that was started by Phuture’s “Acid Tracks”.

He joined forces with Lindstrøm in 2003, after mutual admiration and inspiration of each others productions. Lindstrøm as muso-wizard and Prins Thomas as the nu-skool remix DJ champ. They both have a background from different Norwegian band-projects; ranging from punk to gospel via country to heavy metal to folk and psychedelia but they also share the same passion for collecting records and run their own labels Feedelity, Full Pupp and Internasjonal from their Scandanavian liar. Besides working on various solo-projects, they often mutate into the two headed beast "L&PT" and explore the outer limits of futuristic disko and universal boogie!

Featuring many tracks from the outer reaches of disco, funk and electronica ‘Cosmo Galactic Prism’ is an eclectic amalgam of the old and new yet still retains the flow and structure of a Prins Thomas DJ set. As Thomas himself explains, “contrary to the pompous title of this mix CD, remember this ain't rocket science... It's a mixture of old and new favourites, some you might have heard already and hopefully some that are new to you. I tried as much as possible to make an interesting mix of individual tracks and still have some kind of feel and flow to it. Due to the pityful playing time of compact discs and my eagerness to squeeze in as many tracks as possible (and not all of them made it this far...) I had to edit down the length of some of the tracks after the final mix. Some light trickery and magic were also used...and just a little bit of voodoo.”

the upcoming Bjørn Torske disc on smalltown supersound is ace

re: beardo mixes

i think it's great to celebrate the production / edit work of these guys but often with the DJ mixes they put out i'm just like, "dude, get one MP3 blog"

this "cosmo galactic prism" looks quite a bit less interesting than what you can get for free from beats in space / PS1 radio / ILM mix thread / lovefingers / etc etc

eskimo has ... jumped the shark?? (see also: radioslave's "creature of the night" mix)

I think you're totally right, Vahid, especially considering how different it seems than something like Rub's Campfire. That said, starting a mix with Meek's "I hear a New World" is a good staple to keep alive.

That Torske disc is great!

When you factor in the time it takes to put together the release (not talking about the actual mixing but rather licensing/artwork/manufacturing etc) and the task of securing licensing for each and every track (which alone can rule out a lot of awesome but legally dubious white labels, edits, etc), there's no way a label-backed mix CD is going to be as adventurous or timely as something from Beats in Space etc, or indeed whatever the DJ putting together the mix is like spinning live...

Sorry, last thing on my "East 6th St" --> "Cosmic Lady" --> "Cosmic" bit up above. If you want to hear "Cosmic Lady" by Tony Silvester & The New Ingredient aka Tony Sylvers, it is available at lovefingers.org. It's the old song still able to be downloaded though so you better get on over there if you want it.

"It's the old song" should be "It's the oldEST song"

That's still open to misinterpretation, maybe it should be "oldest post with the song still available for download" but whatever. I'll shutup.

commercial mix CDs *are* passe if you are clued in to blogs, p2p, downloadable mixes, these threads, etc. but not everyone has the time?

i don't think eskimo has jumped yet, although the lotterboys album and RS mix were underwhelming for sure. the peter visti 12 is awesome.

commercial mix CDs *are* passe

Got a track ID request.

Could anyone tell me what the Italo tune in this track is?

http://www.datassette.net/music/datashat--stop_the_message.mp3

This guy put the Message acapella through a vocoder and then over this track.

Sounds really good pitched down.

bwh - stop

Thanks for the info.

I am pretty much universally ignorant when it comes to a lot of this stuff.

Almost 1100 posts and no scott seward.

How about that Lindstrom/Prins Thomas essential mix?

I got to see the MOA LP on Friday. It looks pretty nice. Def. better packaging than previous WEWW releases.

are they printing a larger edition than 17 this time???

1000

i was in A-1 records in ny this past weekend and they had one of the MoA 12"s on the wall to taunt people but not to sell. i guess Carlos is friends w/the guys that work there.

wow so cool

i ordered some import copies of the MOA CD for the store today, here's hoping we get them!

Any idea how limited the run of CDs will be?

Also: has anyone heard Mudd's Claremont 56 LP on Rong?

I saw the MoA 12" there this weekend as well. Eric of Rub-n-Tug works there, so that's probably connection enough.

Speaking of Rong, any word on when Lee Douglas' new one is coming out?
I just realized dude is a really accomplished illustrator working with motion graphics heavyweights in NYC. Here's the new record's design...
http://www.douglaslee.org/design2.html

this "cosmo galactic prism" looks quite a bit less interesting than what you can get for free from beats in space / PS1 radio / ILM mix thread / lovefingers / etc etc

But it works really, really well.

I mentioned Doug's illustrations above...

Yeah, the new Lee Douglas with the bells on his myspace is just right.

sorry i missed that dan, this thread has gotten really unwieldy. i'm just surprised that he works with the best of the best w/r/t motion graphic companies...makes sense why his releases take so long to come out...

Yeah, that was some really impressive stuff. Thanks for the link BleepBot.

spoke to Ben at Rong yesterday, he says that "New York Story" is out at the end of the month.

Rong is also releasing a limited edition 12" soon, here's the info:

"So here's a very limited gem for our loyal customers. Only 250 of these are being made and they are only available through mail order direct through us so get on it fast!! Each 12" will be hand painted on the B side, coming in a handsome full plastic belt sleeve to boot.

This very special limited release is to promote the first of our new mix CD series titled, "NON STOP" (#1 is mixed by the Rong Boys - Ben Cook and DJ Spun) which will be coming out soon after, so keep on the look out!

About the Music:

Hailing From the LBC, CA, Mr. Scotty Coats and Wes The Mes are the newest members of our ragtag outfit we would like to introduce to you. The title pretty much says it all, as far as the music's concerned - Mental crunchy punk disco with a bass line that'll rip your hair piece back.

Catalog # Rong dj4
Artist: Scotty Coats and Wes The Mes
A1) Double Fisted - (Hand painted single sided release)
Street date: May 21st"

These should be in all three Amoebas upon release. If you live outside CA, check the Rong website I guess...

hey why doesn't amoeba have "this is rong music"???

btw i dropped by on saturday and bought "klubb kebbab", there were three dudes working the dance section and they all had stocking caps

Claremont 56 was out in Japan last year I think? I thought it was uneven, some wonderful moments and some real snoozers.

hey why doesn't amoeba have "this is rong music"???


Being in Alabama and, you know, not working there, I can't really speak for Amoeba, but I'm pretty sure the UK/international version of This Is... is out yet and won't be out for another couple of months. The one out there now is on Music Mine, who handle Rong's distribution in Japan.

Er, ISN'T out yet. Gah.

yeah but amoeba has mad japanese stuff ... but it's nice to hear taht there's a UK/europe version of "this is..." coming out

lol rong website
