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

i have rnt's spoonful of leather but you mean the other one, right?
dig the new ghost note far more than the galleon trade (which sherburne raved about on RA).

whereas i raved about the welcome stranger 12" http://www.residentadvisor.net/review-view.aspx?id=8563

yeah the earlier one, looks like this

http://www.sarcasticclothing.com/rub-n-tug/images/coverthumbs/rubcover.gif

I have an mp3 called "Rub N Tug Vol 1," has a Doors song on it, is that the one?

possibly, is it just one track?

yeah, one long track, can't remember where I got it. probably somewhere upthread!

it looks like that is it:

I'll upload later. At work rt now.

galleon trade 12" sounds ok (again, based on samples alone), reminds me of the maxxi & zeus releases a bit.

speaking of which, why isn't there more talk about international feel on this thread? last year's "the coptic sun" was ridiculous, same with the aformentioned maxxi & zeus 12"s (mostly ambient/vaguely western-type vibes, plus one crazy disco medley) and this year's stuff like "do what you do" and the new locussolus material

yeah, i've expected to hear more about that stuff than i have. maybe the moment has passed? i bought this cd http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/products/VariousArtists-InternationalFeel-InternationalFeel-72511.html

the only stuff i really love is Rocha. hungry ghost and coyote are p good, didn't really like the maxxi and zeus stuff. the coptic sun sounded awesome, but only heard clips.

thanks dmr

does anyone have the first rub-n-tug mix that was done for aNYthing?

lol my first post ever to ILX was asking for a YSI of this

last spring i got to tell thomas to his face how influential that mix was on me when i first started djing. he's an awesome guy!!!

rub-n-tug party tomorrow in la, wish i was there. listening to their ps1 set right now. love these dudes.

fuck ive seen eric and thomas play separately but never together.

thomas is so next level. he started out playing striaght up beat-less ambient stuff at 10:30 PM and was at full on hands-in-the-air disco stormers by 12:30

ifeel studio - the coptic sun

agh i have friends going to that rub n tug party so jealous

I have never seen either of em DJ :( whenever I heard about one of their nights it was never when I could go out

RNTV1 - http://www.sendspace.com/file/mecr97

i saw thomas dj last year and it was a great time, the track he began with sounded very much like something that could potentially wind up on the album (when the eff is that coming out anyway?)... from what i remember it was a crazy epic disco track that went on for at least 15 mins with female vocals going "rub! and tug!" and unless i was just wasted or in a good mood that night i think that they will end up releasing this and it will blow peoples minds

though feel free to point out if this was some other/older track that i've never heard before, i'm not the best trainspotter in the world. the production values sounded modern, he played the song the whole way through and was sorta acting as though it was his own, mouthing the lyrics and getting pretty into it. but he is a crazy dj and it's not like he doesn't do those things all the time

Yeah, the LP was recorded November 2008 in Brooklyn at Rare Book Room Studios. Personal includes: Cornelius Bird on vocals, Matt Sweeney on electric & acoustic guitars, Justin V. on bass, Pete Z. on keys and Spencer Sweeney on drums. Thomas and I had song ideas and references and we recorded 8 tracks in 2 days. We did a day of overdubs and have spent the last 2 years editing all that shit. We let the guys jam so each track was like 30 minutes long. We have it really close and hope to have an idea for release next year…

this is from december, but it's pretty funny that they've been saying next year since 2008 basically.

well i hope it comes out in 2011, but i'm not counting on it. damn these dance acts and how they take foreeeever to release full-lengths

I forgot how good: Rub' N' Tug Present Campfire Was...

I pretty much gave up on the nu-disco thing after that, it never really grabben me after 2005.

After years of waiting for a cheap copy to turn up, finally scored a copy of campfire for $3 the other day.

I was jazzed to find rocking horse mentioned in Vince aletti's book thing

I didn't even know it was a rare thing going for cash its been sat on my shelf for years.

I don't think it's rare or anything, just had never personally seen it for less than $25 or so

went to the Rub-N-Tug party in LA on saturday and danced til 6:30, great great party. they kept it pretty housey for the first 3-4 hours and then started to loosen it up with disco. guess it was eric D's bday and he dropped War's "L.A. Sunshine" at 6am and the small group of us remaining danced pretty hard for another half hour until i thought i was gonna collapse.

there were so many hot people there that night, i'm glad i didn't make it into those pix

awesome photos.

what was the venue of the Rub n Tug party?

yea Lindstrom was good last night

Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

very jealous...

by the way mizzell was this the mix you were looking for

http://www.sendspace.com/file/mecr97

is that the same one you put up earlier? that was it, thanks a lot!
also excited cause i just ordered a copy of harvey's mad dog chronicles.

yeah same. wasnt sure if you noticed it there. no prob!

mad dog chronicles is so fucking good! think I got that off moonship somewhere else on the board, haha

still listen to it a bunch actually

dj harvey: mad dog chronicles soundtrack

i just couldn't get into the r'b't v 1. they kept weirdly cutting the volume for no reason. song selection was ok. i know it's a few years old, so maybe doesn't seem fresh? that's not their fault. they never mixed. i'm not even a big proponent of mixing, but for this kind of dance music, seems like they'd want to. i dunno. maybe i'm jaded

campfire's way better imo. and the volume and mixing are ALL messed up on that one.

yeah, i kinda just accepted the volume cuts and miscues on vol 1 cause of previously hearing campfire

what about the mixing on their fabric mix!?

its nothing fancy, but it's not sloppy

fabric mix definitely sounds more pro. song selection is pretty different too. not beardy at all, modern electro stuff. I dig it though.

there's some classic/90's house on it too

i've been listening to their fabric a lot lately, love the couple of tracks leading into discopolis

that reminds me I still haven't listened to the Optimo fabric mix!!!

me neither! I usually get fabric promos but that one fell thru the cracks, I've been meaning to order it

Discopolis and Dragon are my jamz. also Turkish Tavern.

http://www.chacha.com/question/what-is-the-best-rub-and-tug-in-new-york-city

optimo fabric mix is kinda all over the place in a good way (save a few tracks). it becomes the greatest thing in the world once he starts laying things on top of "oar 003b"

actually my least favourite part of that mix is "Don't Call". The mixing feels off, but I honestly can't tell if it's because I love that song and have heard it so many times it sounds wrong in that context.

Although I don't feel the same about it's use in the Synth Summer mix.

i never took to that desire album until i became obsessed with that mix, so my perspective is sorta the opposite i guess. i def love that part of the mix. it also sounds good with "love technique"

oh it's brilliant with "love technique". other fav part of that mix (though it must be the obvious one) is the Tyrell Corporation.
