Exactly what I'm saying...

there was a scene here in the nineties that consisted of basically playing deep house at like minus 8

uh, hello ben cook / dj spun / idjut boys / rong music etc

I think MIke's just talking about how everyone's doing disco edits.

Terje, Rong etc, are producing new stuff, and some pretty good new stuff.

isn't south african house at minus 8 called Kwaito?

― jäxøñ (jaxon), Thursday, 15 June 2006 03:45 (nineteen years ago)

i've also been pitching stuff way down in mixes lately. weird. and just as the tempos of minimal tracks are starting to increase again...

Sort of. There is definately a difference, but house did inspire the previous pop style to change into Kwaito.

Why do you fight Vahid? Why?

The mix by Harvey of Lindstrom and Christabelle's Music (In My Mind) is great. It sounds like he slowed down the instrumental and then put the vocals back over it at normal pitch. Mtume's You, Me and He 12" is an awesome display of slowness. Slow james so slow they're ambient.

― Makrugaik (makrugaik), Monday, 26 June 2006 16:54 (nineteen years ago)

"slow james"

Oh right. Hope it's not a problem.

TOM PETTY - You Got Lucky (Cosmic Instrumental) b/w Don't Come Around Here No More (Synth-drum Dub)

Ace edits to feed all your cosmic needs! An essential summer floor-burner, played endlessly by Beppe Loda back in the '80s! TIP!

serious? please to email me ysi link if so.

― flëétwøöd måçk (jaxon), Monday, 26 June 2006 23:12 (nineteen years ago)

play Liquid Liquid's "Scraper" at 33 instead of 45, sounds great.

not relevant to the thread but pitch way up Happy Monday's "Hallelujah" and its even wilder, with nary a trace of helium.

― jinx hijinks (sanskrit), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 02:28 (nineteen years ago)

i should really read threads all the way thru before posting.

jaxon, mr. gill, et al. more about Tom Petty cosmic please, particularly the b-side (who did it?)

― jinx hijinks (sanskrit), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 02:31 (nineteen years ago)

Every single Alan Parsons song could be (and should be) turned into an amazing re-edit. have they already had a reevaluation?

― flëétwøöd måçk (jaxon), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 02:47 (nineteen years ago)

i don't know much about the edits because i usually don't buy new vinyl, but Ugly Edits 8 (Willie Hutch "Slick") is so fucking good. and it's not even the song in the title.
-- jäxøñ (jaso...), June 14th, 2006 7:38 PM. (jaxon)

ok, i lied. my mp3 was mislabled. it's really Ugly Edits 7 that i love. GQ's "Lies". god, what a fucking amazing song.

It seems so, over on the DJ History board (aka Beardo Central.)

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 07:12 (nineteen years ago)

they were revaluated a while back, when it came to light that there's at least as much alan parsons in dj shadow as there is david axelrod.

― the fuckablity of late picasso (vahid), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 07:14 (nineteen years ago)

my favorite ugly edit = etta james' "the basement"

― the fuckablity of late picasso (vahid), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 07:15 (nineteen years ago)

i want a disco edit compilation of "young americans" ... particularly "somebody up there likes me" and "right" and the disco version of "john i'm only dancing".

― the fuckablity of late picasso (vahid), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 07:24 (nineteen years ago)

i think my favorite ugly edit is still #1.

― Bea Arthur - Lost COmic GEnius ? (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

tho the a-side to #2 is not without its charms.

I have been thinking about something like this for a while, too. "right" would be especially good...

-- flëétwøöd måçk (jaso...) (webmail), Tuesday 1:53 AM. (jaxon) (later) (link)

this afternoon i listened to a unnamed DJ's shockingly bad "Think Twice" edit, it simply stretched the best breaks in the song by looping them ten or twelve times and then returned to those passages on occasion to bloat the length from 6 mins to 12+ mins. appalling.

to understand how brilliant TP's "Lies" edit is, track down the original GQ track. Parrish removes all the chaff and distills the best moments of the song into something entirely new.

mine too & probably my favourite track from last year.

two months pass...

interesting thing on how make edits the old fashioned way:

It's really no fun.

the only tape editing I ever did was in the oberlin TIMARA studios, on an Otari MX-5050. I composed a really stupid piece of musique concrete for my Introduction to Electronic Music class.

Anyway, I know I keep mentioning this, but Big Daddy magazine a few years ago published an amazing 2 part article on the history of cut-n-paste, covering everything from Danny Krivit's old bootleg disco edits, to Latin Rascals/Omar Santana type stuff to Coldcut or whatever. Really good stuff.

― PappaWheelie burried Paul. The clues are there man! (PappaWheelie 2), Friday, 29 September 2006 17:50 (nineteen years ago)

er, bladerunners even

― PappaWheelie burried Paul. The clues are there man! (PappaWheelie 2), Friday, 29 September 2006 17:51 (nineteen years ago)

Christian Balerunner?

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 29 September 2006 17:58 (nineteen years ago)

Omar Santana editing T-La Rock's Breaking Bells. THE most fucked up, crazy, editing track ever.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 29 September 2006 18:01 (nineteen years ago)

dan, seriously, I should make you a Miami edit mix. They hired Omar and Chep sometimes, but there was basically a school down there (not literally) based around Phil Jones and Bob Rosenberg (who later started the group Will to Power).

Kevin "Boy Wonder" Fluornoy (who we now know as Life) and his apprentice Crash were the Whiz Kids, while their rivals were Albie Nieves and Felix Sama aka The Bladerunners. Everything they touched, they destroyed.

Ask Life about Phil and Bob they next time you cross paths. This is the height of this stuff, and he was not only there for it, but a key player.

― PappaWheelie burried Paul. The clues are there man! (PappaWheelie 2), Friday, 29 September 2006 18:05 (nineteen years ago)

Please make that mix.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 29 September 2006 18:08 (nineteen years ago)

seconded!

― j blount (papa la bas), Friday, 29 September 2006 18:31 (nineteen years ago)

(of course this is all in the opposite vein of which Mike started this thread with...lord knows that I get where he's coming from. I danced to a set by a highly regarded beardo disco dj who played a homemade edited dub of Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy, one of my fave songs ever, and I kept waiting for ANYTHING TO HAPPEN OTHER THAN 7 MINUTES OF THE INTRO NON-STOP)

yeah, yeah, I've been told, some people have made good ones, whatever that means...

― PappaWheelie burried Paul. The clues are there man! (PappaWheelie 2), Friday, 29 September 2006 18:35 (nineteen years ago)

Most new school DJ's =/= music arrangers

― PappaWheelie burried Paul. The clues are there man! (PappaWheelie 2), Friday, 29 September 2006 18:37 (nineteen years ago)

that is one hell of an intro though....

but the rest of the song is great too!

thirded! after multiple xposts

― boo berry (dubplatestyle), Friday, 29 September 2006 19:07 (nineteen years ago)

so, uh, whose gonna grab it form me off of slsk and spread it irl?

― PappaWheelie burried Paul. The clues are there man! (PappaWheelie 2), Friday, 29 September 2006 19:08 (nineteen years ago)

if you make this, perhaps it will finally be the impetus i need to start a record label

― boo berry (dubplatestyle), Friday, 29 September 2006 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

haha, threadstarter back to thread (and turntable repairman to my home)

If anyone is in NYC today, I'm DJ'ing at Savalas tonight with another Miami style DJ (Egg Foo Young of Secret Frequency Crew)

― PappaWheelie burried Paul. The clues are there man! (PappaWheelie 2), Friday, 29 September 2006 19:14 (nineteen years ago)

you can always record it at my house, dude. You know I've got fancy cartridges and high-end audio interface fun. And if you fuck up the mixing, we can just chop it up in the computer, nobody will notice, machine gun edits every 20 seconds!

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 29 September 2006 19:18 (nineteen years ago)

pshhaw! me?! fuck up mixing?!

― PappaWheelie burried Paul. The clues are there man! (PappaWheelie 2), Friday, 29 September 2006 19:19 (nineteen years ago)

actually, maybe it shouldn't be mixed, all cuts.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 29 September 2006 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

instead of edits have PW big up certain cities then burst REWwwind the reel to reel tape

― mr. brojangles (sanskrit), Friday, 29 September 2006 22:40 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, I just got that 'Thank You Arthur' Editions Disco thing. Now, THAT is great.

It's totally different to the version of Go bang that you know, but rather than extending the beat-led sections of the 24-24-music version, it takes the snatches of vocals from that and turns it into a pop song. It kind of reminds me of the Velvets (with Mo Tucker singing) and The Eels, bizarrely. It's great.

The B-side is meh.

I want to get the Cowboys and Gangsters one. Has anyone heard that?

― Jamie T Smith (Jamie T Smith), Saturday, 30 September 2006 07:01 (nineteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

Think Ableton Live would be suited for doing some of the hijack/edit type stuff described here?
