yea that new rocha single is great, esp the welcome stranger/thomas bullock remix. i'm actually down with most everything i've heard on the label, including the other two mizzell mentioned. "woman of candy" is HUGE

actually, to qualify- the new loccussolus track on the kenji takimi beats in space didn't do much for me. nor did the laughing light of plenty track after it, tbh

seven months pass...

saw him last nite

timbo slice (D-40), Saturday, 2 April 2011 20:39 (thirteen years ago) link

i think he dropped this
http://mp3skyline.com/rid-0x1bac2-house-arrest_-_version-1.0--ha001--mp3-download.html (the 2nd track)

timbo slice (D-40), Saturday, 2 April 2011 20:44 (thirteen years ago) link

it was some rmx of that song anyway

timbo slice (D-40), Saturday, 2 April 2011 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link

is it worth driving 700 miles to see him

I'm totally kidding. Congrats strangers. (Matt P), Saturday, 2 April 2011 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link

i think harvey is one of those djs that u never what u were going to get. or i should say you can know what you are going to get but its going to be contextual. i personally prefer his sarcastic parties where he plays for 10 hours and drops everything underneath the sun. in a club setting ive heard him drop house all night with a few italo tracks. it was cool but was nothing like seeing him drop e2-e4 as the sun is coming up in santa cruz.

yeah i'd drive 700 miles to go to a sarcastic party

I want that Linstrom & Prins Thomas remix of Locussolus SO MUCH

the pussy/butthole addendum (jamescobo), Monday, 11 April 2011 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link

anyone see him in SF last weekend? & how was it?

one time gaffled 'em up (one time), Monday, 11 April 2011 23:56 (thirteen years ago) link

never leaves my record crate

argh you have that. I passed it up when it came out and have never been able to find it.

dmr, Tuesday, 12 April 2011 00:53 (thirteen years ago) link

i obsessed over finding it back in 06 after hearing it on that rub n tug mix

i called every record store in chicago asking if they had the original cause i didn't know about the cole medina edit. then found it the next day while looking for something else.

Oink Administrator (gr8080), Tuesday, 12 April 2011 01:42 (thirteen years ago) link

I know I saw it at least once at Turntablelab but didn't know what it sounded like until later. It's pretty nondescript looking.

one month passes...

Just listening to this DJ Harvey interview - http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?exchange=41

Around 30 mins in. Him on homophobia and sexuality, just hilarious.

mmmm, Friday, 10 June 2011 10:26 (thirteen years ago) link

He was just on Beats in Space this week, too, talkin about playing in Japan and why he doesn't play in London -

I always wondered why he never plays London. Gonna listen and find out. I see it as a personal slur.

owenf, Friday, 10 June 2011 10:40 (thirteen years ago) link

It is!

40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Friday, 10 June 2011 10:48 (thirteen years ago) link

lol at 'we're all dj's here'

owenf, Friday, 10 June 2011 10:50 (thirteen years ago) link

Im pretty sure he played at disco bloodbath back when it was still at visions. But he is spot on, a fun party is so rare here to the point that I only really enjoy myself at cafe bloody oto on my own

straightola, Friday, 10 June 2011 16:39 (thirteen years ago) link

Didn't get to see him when visions was still a thing. I know he spent a lot of time in the states in order to deal with visa/residency stuff.

a fun party is so rare

so true, there's been nothing for ages that's excited me in these parts.

owenf, Friday, 10 June 2011 16:55 (thirteen years ago) link

i went to a few disco bloodbath parties at visions but i never heard abt him playing...

just sayin, Friday, 10 June 2011 17:17 (thirteen years ago) link

gr8080, Thursday, 16 June 2011 20:17 (thirteen years ago) link

haha. I almost loled at work listening to it just now.

so awesome, thanks for posting

gr8080, Monday, 20 June 2011 22:16 (thirteen years ago) link

I saw him play after Aeroplane at one of the Rhonda parties last year - it wasn't that great but I would imagine his stuff would go down about 100000000000x better in a smaller setting

XBOX BING GOATSE (jamescobo), Monday, 20 June 2011 22:36 (thirteen years ago) link

i was at that party! so was ilx poster san frandisco.

i snuck backstage and surprised him right before he went on.

sound system at that venue is one of the best i've ever heard, but yeah he's more fun in a more intimate setting

gr8080, Tuesday, 21 June 2011 01:05 (thirteen years ago) link

i know ppl are sorta lukewarm on the locussolus album but i for one am willing to rep for it, i think the only seriously bad tracks are that andrew weatherall remix and "throwdown". that 20 min emperor machine remix is really pretty fucking great spacey/beardy disco, it might be the only thing i hadn't heard before but it was well worth the price of admission imo

a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Tuesday, 21 June 2011 05:09 (thirteen years ago) link

so is the Soul Clap remix still unreleased aside from showing up on the DJ KiCKS mix?

gr8080, Wednesday, 22 June 2011 02:26 (thirteen years ago) link

it's out

gr8080, Wednesday, 22 June 2011 02:46 (thirteen years ago) link

xposts

the main thing I remember from that Rhonda show (other than the place going nuts for the Swiss' "Bubble Bath") was seeing some kid running around dressed up like Hitler

XBOX BING GOATSE (jamescobo), Wednesday, 22 June 2011 03:47 (thirteen years ago) link

well that and the venue being UNBELIEVABLE

XBOX BING GOATSE (jamescobo), Wednesday, 22 June 2011 03:47 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah that venue was awesome. insane multi-room VIP area w/ craze shit going on too
