― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 10 April 2003 14:13 (twenty-three years ago)

The Collette mixes are usually promo-only, no?

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Thursday, 10 April 2003 14:20 (twenty-three years ago)

I too need this. Any relevant links, etc.?

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Thursday, 10 April 2003 14:22 (twenty-three years ago)

So I got a big package of new stuff from the DFA last night

i can't find any info about that black dice 12" (though i was aware eye was remixing some shit for them). any idea about a proper release date?

― fields of salmon (fieldsofsalmon), Thursday, 10 April 2003 14:27 (twenty-three years ago)

I heard end of April/early May for that Black Dice 12".

casiotone for the painfully alone will be penetrating the consciousness of the international fashion mafia.

I always liked that name.

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 10 April 2003 15:08 (twenty-three years ago)

it's actually not far off for one of his song titles, f.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 10 April 2003 16:09 (twenty-three years ago)

the colette mix is on slsk (i don't have it)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 10 April 2003 16:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Casiotone fame and fortune = a bit of happiness for me. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 April 2003 16:18 (twenty-three years ago)

I have the 4th Colette mix--disc one's a v/a comp, very uneven, the second disc has a 16-minute 2 Many DJ's mix, nothing you haven't heard them do before. Can't speak for the other three, unfortunately.

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 10 April 2003 16:20 (twenty-three years ago)

I know at least one user in the ILM room has one disc from No. 5.

Did he get that alias from Beavis & Butthead?

"This here's Colette. She's been rolling around in a pile of her on sick."

― Andy K (Andy K), Thursday, 10 April 2003 16:22 (twenty-three years ago)

own not on

― Andy K (Andy K), Thursday, 10 April 2003 16:23 (twenty-three years ago)

so, what filenames should i be searching for on slsk? i'm having trouble tracking this down...

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 11 April 2003 14:08 (twenty-three years ago)

just got jockey slut, since my christmas present from brother of a sub to them finally arrived.

it has "i need your love" by the rapture on the free cd and this dancer is very impressed, the chorus sounds like my doorbell though which will cause problems later when I have my friends in for a few drinks.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 April 2003 15:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I like that Rapture song more than HoJL

― Andy K (Andy K), Friday, 11 April 2003 15:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Or should I say Ratpure

― Andy K (Andy K), Friday, 11 April 2003 15:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, that tune is VERY good. I love the dub Voltaire too...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 April 2003 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

(andy: email me ASAP. i'm heading to the post office soon and i lost yr addy...)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 April 2003 16:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I agree, and I loved HotJL.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 April 2003 16:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Just in case I'm not the only not-in-the-know person:

Colette

― Andy K (Andy K), Friday, 11 April 2003 16:17 (twenty-three years ago)

this colette mix is killing me now as well...

is this available on vinyl worldwide?

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 22:10 (twenty-three years ago)

don't tell anybody but the rapture track is my least favorite...

:-(

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 22:36 (twenty-three years ago)

the plink plong mix/intro into "baby it's you"....

sigh.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 22:43 (twenty-three years ago)

tonight i got the new rapture! hurrah!

(i haven't listened to it yet)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 17 April 2003 02:07 (twenty-three years ago)

the new album? ooh

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 17 April 2003 02:21 (twenty-three years ago)

it's a six-track sampler, actually.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 17 April 2003 02:25 (twenty-three years ago)

only heard "I Need Your Love" from the new Rapture so far, but it's fantabulous -- microhouse meets new wave. If the Kompakt comps continued to embrace pop along their current rate, this could be the opening track on Total 6.

― scott pl. (scott pl.), Thursday, 17 April 2003 03:15 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah I Need Your Love is fucking super, I reckon it's going to be interesting seeing the different responses on either side of the Atlantic, to me it's peculiar because it starts off pretty housey and then the usual rent-a-diva is replaced by this hysterical lunatic.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 17 April 2003 13:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Ronan = 100% OTM. I was thinking the EXACT same thing this morning about "I Need Your Love." So the sampler has "I Need Your Love," "Olio," "House of Jealous Lovers" and three new tracks. And after three listens, I think those three new tracks are the best cuts on here. "Sister Savior" is funky disco-electro -- very laidback, smooth and the vocals are amazing. Unhurried, sassy and great. It's got those same keyboards as "I Need Your Love" along with the "HoJL" clangy guitars. "Killing" is maybe best described as punk-house. A heavy beat and a cutting guitar over a bass line that should be booming from a tricked-out Honda's trunk while two vocal lines weave in and out, intersect and mutate above it. Stunning stuff. The last song, "Heaven," is my favorite. It starts off with an acapella two-part harmony of "1,2,3,4,5,6,7/I'm floating in a constant heaven," and then kicks into a really, really funky, broken Gang of Four gait. Several times all the music drops out, returning to that opening refrain. It's like Queen meets Gang of Four!!! It's killing me. A good remix of this (it's the least dancey of the cuts) could be the song of the year.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 17 April 2003 13:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Collette is a lifestyle store in France. their CDs are notoriously limited, but they sell them at the shop. it's not a promo. I think other music had [have?] some of the new ones [2 many DJs, DFA]. My company [forced exposure] is looking to import some but Collette, for good reason, is reluctant to give up their 'buy it from us' exclusivity.

did you check the Ceramic Hulk on Collette? thing is massive!

― david day (winslow), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Colette is spelled with one "l" heh.

― david day (winslow), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:11 (twenty-three years ago)

come to think of it, I think the only place I've seen the Colette cds is at Colette itself...that would be great if fe got some in stock.

― disco stu (disco stu), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Other Music in NYC carries the Colette discs. $36 a pop.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Life must be awesome.

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 17 April 2003 17:46 (twenty-three years ago)

one month passes...

Life was meant to be awesome.

Hey Yancey, is that the complete tracklisting?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 May 2003 17:39 (twenty-three years ago)

one month passes...

I got another DFA package last night -- another copy of the Black Dice 12", and a split Rapture-Juan Maclean 12". The Rapture track is "Killing," which is on Echoes, but the Juan Maclean song, called "Give Me Every Little Thing," is fantastic -- very New Ordery with really good, half-chanted sinister vocals. I'm digging this song A LOT.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:35 (twenty-two years ago)

YANC3Y HAVE YOU EVER HEARD "COKE AND MIRRORS" BY SIX FINGER SATELLITE

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:44 (twenty-two years ago)

YES I HAVE GYGAX! WHY DO U ASK?

I have four or five SFS records, though I rarely listen to them anymore.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:46 (twenty-two years ago)

THE CHINESE STARS R GOOD

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Send me your spare copy of the remix 12", plz.

― Ian Johnson (elmo oxygen), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I was really into By The Time I Get To Venus by the Juan Maclean, alot more than the first big song whose name escapes me.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

So Black Dice:

Catsup Plate 12" (repackaged Tigerbeat6 3")
Eye Remix 12"
Cone Toaster 12" (With Eye)
New LP (with Eye?)

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

YANC3Y BTW IT'S 6FS NOT SFS

JON WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND THEY ARE ON TOUR WITH THE LOCUST SOON

IAN NO WAY YANC3Y ME FIRST PLEASE

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

GYGAX! I ALREADY GAVE YOU A COPY I THOUGHT?

SORRY FOR THE MISACRONYMING GYGAX! I WILL NOW BEAT MYSELF SILLY (BMS)!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I also wish the Rapture would start flinging around tracks for remixes.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

When I first heard "I Need Your Love" I thought it was a remix. Rapture songs are remixes to START WITH considering how the DFA works... But yeah, I know what you mean, Ronan.

The beat and bassline from the new Juan Maclean song are very fucking close to ODB's "Got Your Money."

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

So the new annoying comparison: the Liars produced by the Neptunes.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

the new black dice lp is produced by the dfa, no eye involved as far as i know.
"give me..." rules!!

Yeah, some very weird comments. Hard to see why he would care about Holy Ghost leaving the label when he didn’t actively do anything for the label for years.

― Position Position, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 01:44 (four years ago)

It would have been a blow to the label to lose long standing band like Holy Ghost regardless of how involved he was.

I enjoyed how snarky each got about the other. Galkin getting in how he didn't even like American Dream and Murphy about coffee mugs and tee weekly emails. haha both are accurate for me.

I am really interested in hearing what Galkin puts out on FourFour.

It's a shame James was so hands off for such a long time and that Tim Goldsworthy didn't stick around. It seems like DFA has been in a tailspin since he left regardless.

― micarl, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 03:08 (four years ago)

i can see how murphy finding out holy ghost had left might have been a big sign to him that something was going wrong and made him pay attention to the label for the first time in a decade

with goldsworthy it sounds like he was just as hands off with the label as murphy from 2007 onwards and then stopped working as a production duo with murphy from around 2009 before they completely fell out sometime around 2013. so them stopping working together in 2009 just left dfa as murphy & the label operating with little to do with each other

― ufo, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 04:03 (four years ago)

Seems like Murphy was trying to say without saying that Holy Ghost was asking for their masters back because they weren't getting paid vs. Galkin framing it as a labor of love situation?

― papal hotwife (milo z), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 04:57 (four years ago)

idk that it's possible to read that much into it, i didn't get the impression from either of them that the finances were quite that bad at that point

i searched to see what holy ghost had to say about leaving dfa and they just said they knew they didn't want to stay with dfa and reached out to a friend at bmg about reviving west end records bc that was their "dream label" and got a deal very easily. they said "we wanted to get a jump", idk if that just means they wanted a boost in profile or resources that dfa couldn't give them, or what

― ufo, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 05:42 (four years ago)

enjoyed how snarky each got about the other. Galkin getting in how he didn't even like American Dream and Murphy about coffee mugs and tee weekly emails. haha both are accurate for me.

yeah they coulda just done these interviews two years earlier and carried on as usual, without raising the slightest controversy

Every generation gets the CocoRosie it deserves.

― avoid boring people, Sunday, 4 August 2024 00:30 (one year ago)

lol harsh I still like it though

― tortillas for the divorce party (seandalai), Sunday, 4 August 2024 11:39 (one year ago)

that's fun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vKcEwGoPdU

the other single is nowhere near as good though

the cocorosie comparison is at this stage cruel but the vibe they give off means that a bizarre racism/transphobia scandal down the line wouldn't at all surprise me, let's hope not though

Does anybody know where I can find this DFA mix, or is it gone forever? I remember playing it to death at the time, I especially loved the opening song, a remix of a super-obscure early-'80s "boogie" number called "Catch Your Glow" by Cousin Ice.

Stupid "lost media" shit.

― Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 26 August 2025 23:15 (ten months ago)

Fair chance you might find it on soulseek?

― groovypanda, Wednesday, 27 August 2025 04:59 (ten months ago)

Tried, failed.

― Mr. Snrub, Wednesday, 27 August 2025 10:56 (ten months ago)

Yeah, I had a look and couldn't see it either.

Are there any DFA forums anywhere? Might have some luck asking there if so

― groovypanda, Thursday, 28 August 2025 07:11 (ten months ago)

Email Jacques on social media.

― dan selzer, Thursday, 28 August 2025 12:56 (ten months ago)

This mix looks really good. if you find it, please post!
