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

same with the original productions by Tom Wieland's original productions

it's sonar kollectiv or compost or one of those types that puts those out right? kind of ?1?

compost put out "elaste" 1 and 2. sonar kollektiv put out "computer incantations for world peace", which also recently had a sequel published as well.

i bought elaste 2 tonight. i think it is "space disco", in the sense that i understand "space disco", which is uptempo synth-heavy disco ... not so much like moroder, in that it's clearly not a direct predecessor of techno or house, it's actually very traditional sounding jazz-funk-disco but with great spacey synthesizers solos over the top. more stuff like space and mandre or various patrick adams type things.

it's not what you would call "cosmic", and it's certainly not in the same genre as moroder or cowley or donna summer. it's somewhere in between the two.

if dan selzer were here he could probably expound on this a bit more.

i think cerrone or gino soccio would also probably fit under the "space disco" umbrella, too.

i love the computer incarnations for world peace comps, both are amazing

i don't mean to be a genre-nazi, and i do really like Elaste Vol. 2. i agree with you on the funky aspect, gino soccia and cerrone, and the like of the first Beard Science EP are all really what I would classify under the "space disco" definition you provided, along with two man sound. i guess the house-ier Panoptikum is really where i was thinking he was stretching it but it works, so i guess more power to him

okay having listened to this all the way through finally i agree with you; the panoptikum track is practically belgian new beat!!

that LEB harmony track is one of the best space disco tracks i've ever heard. it has all the right elements: live bass, guitar and drums, a pumping 4x4 beat, and awesome sci-fi synth juice all over the top

faze action johnny hammond remix is whats up

just finished a week+ of beardo/all around goodness:
-aug 2, Lee Douglas & Lovefingers in SF, a real disco fisting as described by lovefingers himself
-aug 7, Murphy and Mahoney (SDV) in SF, classic cuts in line with the fabriclive mix
-aug 8, Boredoms and 88 boadrum in LA, amazing show i can't even begin to describe
-aug 9, Blackdisco, Tim Sweeney, and SDV in LA, a hot, sweaty, and intimate nonstop disco/techno/house night that went til 5am

now back to work...

where's the best place for finding listings of these kinds of events in the bay area? I'm thinking of anything disco/cosmic/beardo/etc.
I haven't been in the area long enough to know where to look for this stuff.

if you know the password an elf woman riding on a giant golden condor will descend and give you a beautiful scroll with all the good dates coming up written in sumerian

thanks!

i didnt give u the password dude

sorry im bein a dick i have no clue where you find this stuff out

altair nouveau is confounded's friend be nice

xpost - here is as good a place as any, really. or the San Francisco thread.

hey jergins why dont you eat a big ol bag of dicks you baby

jk jk jk

max you don't happen to have rosetta stone for sumerian pirated do you? pirated from the gaping dark pit that is your ass ;)

altair, i'm new to the area too. as it turns out all the guys I mentioned except one half of blackdisco (Nitedog) are based in NY and they were doing a west coast series of parties that I happened to catch.

xpost
i'll try to post flyers when I get them tho, to this or the san francisco thread, like BATTAGS said

yeah I pretty much keep this page, the SF one, and the balearic one bookmarked. just wish there was a good calendar or something I guess.
but yes these threads are seriously good resources

xpost... sweet. yeah I just moved down from seattle where I DJed a disco night from time to time. I'm hoping to find something like that in the area here at some point.

altair, i am also looking to find some disco nights to DJ myself where do are you living in the bay?

I'm living in Berkeley. Hoping to move over to SF though once I have a real job and enough money (just temping right now).

yeah i'm also in the easy bay until i find the right place in the city.

does anyone know anything about any of the releases on Wurst Edits other than the Runaway/Jacques Renault release? such as Douglas Sound and My Cousin Roy. i haven't heard any of them.

easy breezy bay

the douglas sound one is great, talked about some where upthread I think

it's lee douglas from Rong / doug lee who does graphic design stuff that looks like this: http://images.juno.co.uk/full/CS267849-01A-BIG.jpg (did he do the italians do it better 12" sleeves?)

"breakwind" stretches the intro from m1ke theodore "cosmic wind" into like an 8-minute song, big stomping groove w/ sirens. b side is some disco-y soul / rnb re-edit, don't know the song ...

i like his blackdisco release (as talked about upthread as well) but thanks for the heads up, i saw lee douglas last weekend and he was great

(did he do the italians do it better 12" sleeves?)

Johnny jewel, of glass candy, does the ITALIANS sleeves

oh and special disco version in LA ruled

i yelled "beach boys!" @ sdv in SF when they played "here comes the night", but got cold shoulder from DJs. but everyone should know about that tune!!!

man, wish i had heard about lee douglas... love his rong 12s..

there seems to be a big disco contingent in sf/bay area, no?

what about some real bearded stuff now, though? i've been listening to a lot of early steve miller, earth wind and fire, fleetwood mac, stuff like on harvey's freshjive mix. what are some heavy bongbastic deep rock/soul records like this? fusion-y, of course, is good too

it seems that there oughta be plenty of disco around here. I did go to Aunt Charlies a while back for Tubesteak... er, at least I think it was Tubesteak. It was Thurs. night and they played the right kind of music for it... but the latest reference I can find for it online is from '07.
in any case it was a bunch of disco/italo/"pre-rave urban dance music" and the drinks were cheap and it was fun. I was entertaining some friends from Seattle and we all had a blast.

"here comes the night" is great! is there a non disco version of it? i only have the 12"

bummed i didn't get into the special disco version. waited in line forever listening to assholes and burners everywhere not have any idea why they were there - pretty sure that people just go to mighty to go there - and then finally got to the front and they raised the price to $20!

there's tons of disco going on in SF. here are some DJs and clubs to watch:
my buddy andrew (blackshag) does the beatelectric blog and has been doing a monthly at Elbow Room called Body Heat. has had Juan Atkins, Quiet Village, Morgan Geist, Sorcerer, Beat Broker.
http://www.myspace.com/316bartlett

Ryan Poulsen does a semi regular event http://gunclub.dj/

DJ Pickpocket does Donuts & Club Internationale

i've seen the Honey Sound System play some great stuff, but not sure if they have regular things.

the aforementioned Tubesteak Connection at Aunt Charlies is a sleazy gay pickup joint with amazing music.

winston, self promotion alert, but i post tons of that beardy funk rock at my site http://robotsinheat.com/

check out the (Jan) Hammer track up there right now. so fucking sick.

here are some favorite rock & fusion beardy tracks:
check out the (Jan) Hammer track up there right now. so fucking sick. also his Melodies album is ridiculous pop/funk/fusion. "Who Are They?" and "You Don't Know" are so amazing.
Rolling Stones "Heaven", "Too Much Blood", the entire Emotional Rescue album
Weather Report "River People"
Suzi Quatro "Primitive Man" & "Skin Tight Skin"
Roger Chapman & Streetwalkers
Doors "Peace Frog"
anything by Steve Hillage or Eberhard Shoener
Chilliwack "Seventeenth Summer"
CS&N "Dark Star"
Bob Welch "Don't Let Me Fall" & "Outskirts"
the entire Don Cherry Hear & Now album is funk rock.
Jan Akkerman has some AMAZING stuff.
Mother's Finest
Johnny Wakelin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNRqfpIQYjs

and the ultimate beardy disco rock = SUPERMAX

oops. forgot to delete a c&p

and the ultimate beardy disco rock = SUPERMAX

truth, jaxon... truth

and SDV was filled with some real assholes, the party in LA was way more legit

Suzi Quatro "Primitive Man" & "Skin Tight Skin"

gah I saw two Suzi Quatro records the other day and was thinkin about gettin em. had too much other stuff I wanted so I put em back.

the self titled Suzi Quatro album is great. it has those two songs, but i've picked up another album of hers (If You Knew Suzi) and it's not very good.

Gene Clark Disco

wicked site, jaxon; great stuff! looks like the jan hammer link is gone, but i'll have to check out those tracks; i've got a "best of the early years" thing which has a couple of tracks from melodies.. it's pretty awesome over-the-top... i really dig his stuff with jeck beck as well; (wired, there and back, and was he on blow by blow??) though it's far more straight-up (but super funky) instrumental rock fusion shit.

elsewhere, just picked up brass construction III which is mighty awesome; sick grooves and gnarly ernie isley style guitar leads

I dunno but nothing screams, "i'm a twit and i need a good punch in the cock" like people using genre tags like "beardo disco"

well kindly fuck off then

inlikeflint otm, what a dumb idea for a thread, lets cancel ilm

winston, the jan hammer song is with his group called just Hammer
http://robotsinheat.com/trax/BlackSheep.mp3

Forgive me, Father, for I now somehow quite enjoy most of The Eagles' The Long Run. Also, Robots In Heat and Beat Electric rule hard, but anyone curious about facial hair and its lazy relation to music selection could also check out where Jaxon and, uh, many other (mainly Cali) noids reside--Dream Chimney.

(Also xpost, Just attended Special Disco Version in Toronto--very consistent and fun, and I remain drenched from the sauna-like climes.)

THREE new releses on WEWW this past week. piccadilly is sold out but phonica has copies $$$$

is altair nouveau this guy?

http://www.altairnouveau.com/

i played a track from The Eagles' The Long Run ("Those Shoes" beastie boys sample) at dan selzer's dazzleships!
