i just played le jete, "la cage aux folles", the instrumental b-side, at 33 and it's a slo-mo burner. would sound great next to the slower force of nature stuff from the past year. i think it fits the thread idea just right.

don't know anything about this tune. bought on a whim. megatone records from '83. very fast. too fast for my blood. a bit corny. google reveals all of 3 references to it on-line.

discogs lists it but has no info. anyone know anything?

I still want an epic re-edit of 'Born Under Punches'.

blueski have you heard the Fuzz Against Junk cover from 1999? not a re-edit, but it might scratch the itch. One of my most listened to tracks this year.

anyone heard this: http://www.discogs.com/release/213355

anyway, my request:

SPIRIT IN THE SKY

Check out Paul Mac's excellent "Get High, Then Go to the Beach" mix Dominique, it's on there - downloadable at anothernightonearth.blogspot.com I think.

goddamn, more ideas for the mix i'm working on gone.

hits from the eighties or whenever that have yet to been turned in to brand-spanking psychedelic "edits" by Todd Terje or some other charming moustach-parading Scandanavian wag filling in for him, but

Shock The Monkey?

The meaning of "edit" is a bit hazy even with a single, um, editor - some of Terje's edits are very respectful and hardly change the original at all, others are quite radical transformations.

Terje's edit of "Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes" strikes me as being the ideal.

i love that one.

everyone seems to recognize it but he fucks with it just enough that they can't place what it is.

my fave Terje is still the MJ "Can't Help It" edit. also if anyone liked the first track (alf emil eik) on the lindstrom latenighttales, terje is doing that one soon

The meaning of "edit" is a bit hazy even with a single, um, editor - some of Terje's edits are very respectful and hardly change the original at all, others are quite radical transformations

Thanks, Tim. On Hype Machine, I found Terje's edits of the Bee Gees'You Should Be Dancin', Paul Simon's Diamonds On The Soles Of her Shoes, and MJ's Can't Help It. Dancin' falls on the "very respectful" side, even though it removes the vocals (mostly) and adds echo. It was pleasant, but not terribly interesting. But he "radically transformed" the other two songs. Those make me want to hear more from Terje.

Another seemingly respectful but brilliant one is Dee Dee's "Easy Money" which he did in 2005. I haven't heard the original so I'm not sure who to attribute what to.

As long as this thread is turning into the essential edits thread:

ALL BETTY BOTOX.

the bee gees dub is awesome, it sounds like filter house!

Queen - Another One Bites The Dust

dood did an edit of pour some sugar on me. yeah, by def leppard. haven't heard it though.

hi jaime where u been?

couchsurfing. dividing my time between djh and ilx when i have internet at my disposal.

i have to say that i've never been happy with the edits of 'how long' by lipps, inc that i've heard. i understand that the impulse is to remove that am radio female vocal and preserve 'the cool parts' ... but it kinda just ends up removing the dynamics of the song ...

i know pilooski's gotten a bit of flack around here but there is a very tasteful edit of john miles' 'stranger in the city' that just lengthens the intro and takes out the am radio-ish bit, but it works. and that edit of 'beggin' seems to be really popular right now (but those aren't 80's whoops!)

i play the betty botox edit of "how long" all the time. mixes well into "miss you" (which i wouldn't mind an edit of just to have in perfect time).

rolling stones 'miss you'? i like playing the og with roxy music's 'the main thing'

yeah i have the OG dutch pink vinyl version. looks exactly like the reissue from 2 yrs ago. :/

hall & oates - "private eyes"

Gah; can’t sleep. From what I can tell by reading this thread, songs that are prime candidates for re-editing are those that were at least somewhat popular, are danceable (or that have/could use a “big beat”) and have a high “kitsch-factor” and/or are guilty pleasures. So:

• Adam & The Ants – Antmusic
• Asia – Only Time Will Tell
• Asia – The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
• Big Country – In A Big Country
• Boston – Amanda
• David Bowie – Let’s Dance
• Jackson Browne – Somebody’s Baby
• Climax Blues Band – I Love You
• Christopher Cross – Sailing
• Culture Club – Time (Clock Of The Heart)
• Cutting Crew – (I Just) Died In Your Arms
• Duran Duran – New Moon On Monday
• INXS – Don’t Change
• Men At Work – Overkill
• Outfield – Your Love
• Robert Plant – Big Log
• Billy Squier – Everybody Wants You
• Styx – Babe
• Grover Washington, Jr. – Just The Two Of Us

Looking back, a lot of these are hardly “danceable,” but I guess I’d like to see them re-edited and I think they could use a stronger beat. So, for selfish reasons, I included them.

Perhaps the world may finally be ready to hear my dubs of Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" and "You Got Lucky"

dude is skinny

but a great dj!

HI DERE

"too shy" by kajagoogoo. the intro with that chorused bass noise goes on forever in my head.

ZZ Top - Cheap Sunglasses

this is one of my favorite thread titles

charming moustach-parading Scandanavian wag << o 4 the dayz of changeable usernames

check out justus kohncke's dub of the human league's "the things that dreams are made of".

"thug" off eliminator is so hot, i'd love to hear that out

"the way it is" is crying out for a really commercial edit that catapults said moustache-bearer to fleeting euro-stardom for the length of one summer.

hmmm tiedye (and/ or associates of) did a dub of 'don't come around here no more'

http://www.discogs.com/release/1344423

i have a mustache :-/

HEART - love alive

good drums

Golden Earring-Twilight Zone.

well it deserves some kind of edit.

"I'm Not in Love" by 10CC

Terje is weak, this whole fad pretty much sucks ass. one of the few exceptions i can think of: that Editions Disco edit of Paul Simon "Late In The Evening". other than that, just play the 80's jam if you wanna play the 80's jam.

get out of my thread.

haha

"get out of my thread.

-- Tim F"

get off of my jock

has anyone done ON THE BEACH / chris rea?

his new thing has an edit of 'horse with no name'

plz plz plz somebody re-edit "Money Changes Everything" by the Smiths into a 15 minute tremelo'd out swamp disco epic

Bow Wow Wow - Jungle Boy

no YouTube! :-(

plz plz plz somebody re-edit "Money Changes Everything" by the Smiths into a 15 minute tremelo'd out swamp disco epic

well, the 12" to bryan ferry's 'the right stuff' has a 7min mostly instrumental dub that's pretty great. so you can just play that twice.

for real? i don't have the 12". kinda feel like the guitars are too low on the album version tho. thanks for the tip!!

discogs says it's a Latin Rascals edit -- sweet !!

on the more sun-dappled lazing-on-the-beach tip, i feel good things could be done to this, particular the pre-vocal first half:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD6AYpVVNaQ

leo zero already did an edit of 'bonny' so why not, eh

is there an edit of springsteen's 'secret garden' out there?

WAR - LOWRIDER

I would quite like someone to do something with Rilo Kiley's "Dreamworld".

Is there a version of Men At Work's "Down Under" that's recommended?

STILL WAITING ON THESE

prob not Michel's but this has been around a while
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPOPPt2_HT8

I listened to this a lot this weekend:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVfjJpDbzv0

My older sister loved (this era of) Simply Red so this already has massive childhood resonance, but with added awesome breakdown.

lolololol http://turntablelab.com/collections/daily-arrivals/products/the-cure-the-balearic-sound-of-the-cure-12

(i realize these are official 12" versions, not brand-spanking psychedelic "edits", but still in spirit of the thread IMO)

there's also a "the balearic sound of fleetwood mac" but I heard the pressing of that was of very poor quality.

I'm sure that between the snare fills, strident disco beat, and rich bassline, someone could do something amazing with The Cardigans' "Lovefool"

woah yeah def.

psychemagick should get on that

need a poolside or soul clap edit of "bette davis eyes" before summer comes

Sophie B Hawkins - Right Beside You

A version of All Saints "Black Coffee" that doesn't have the intro/outro parts

Lene Marlin "Sitting Down Here"

I've always wanted to make an hour long edit of Buffalo Stance that meditates heavily on all the different riffs, vamps and vocal snatches in the song. if anyone can source stems I'd be really really grateful

Theres an edit by The Revenge but its actually a bit disappointing given his involvement and the source material
