this is one of the best house music cds ever imo. does anyone own a copy of the pieces of a paradox record with "ebonics" and "dusty cabinets"? i really need to know if the latter is any longer than the cd version, feels like that track should be twice as long. that's up there w/ "phylyps trak ii" and "throw" in terms of dizzying house music hysteria

"chemistry starts off really well, then disappointingly plateaus/turns into an extended coda.

― resolved"

gimmme some of what you're smoking.

i dont know about the CD version, but the 12" version of "Dusty Cabinets" is at least 10 minutes long, i've ridden that one out in the mix many many many times. still possibly my favorite theo jam, though both Chemistry and Love Triumphant have entered into contention. 08 was definitely a great year for theo.

rio: yes the 12" version is signifantly longer than the cd one.

pipecock: i really wish i liked chemistry more, but it just doesn't go where i wanted it to from the samples. the first three minutes are the best by far.

his edit of sylvester's "dance" is a total headfuck. i literally dizzied out. no kididing. i had to get away from the computer for a while. never want to listen to it again definitely.

THE RINK

yes!

this might be my fav of the ugly edits. theo at his late night hazy best and that big ass kick drum.

when andres hits, he hits hard:

what's the rink?

never mind!

New LP for over $100..?

hardwax link makes it look like there's a cd version? or maybe the whole package came with a cd.

I'll have to offer a reward in advance for anyone can name that track:

I had no idea his edits were so good!

well duh

Yeah, I guess it should be fairly obvious.

second one is 'get on down' by the dells

Oh, I just meant an ID for the first one but thanks anyways.

Not quite a true edit but close enough and I can't get enough of this recently:

not new or anything but this has been blowing my mind recently.
One of those samples that was (for me) instantly familiar but totally implacable.
do you recognize it without looking it up?

Parallel Dimension just got reissued on CD AND vinyl and is now available... God, it's so sick!

theo freestylin. with ghostface.

they aren't collaborating there or anything, but... think of the potential!

Original of Falling Up is so much better than the inexplicably loved Carl Craig remix

So I guess the ugly edits comp is out, too. The only copies I saw in person were 30 pounds... I think I'll shop around first.

A couple weeks back Theo responded to a nine-month-old post on ISM about the Sketches vinyl and Ugly Edits stuff (original post: http://infinitestatemachine.com/2010/12/02/how-much-is-too-much-to-pay-for-a-newrecord/):

wow. lotta hate out there. lotta love too. two sides. first royalties are in a process of being paid to the artists music used on the ugly edits hence the 2 cd. since the vinyl is no longer available, some of the bands and their management thought this would be a good solution as I would, since i could offer most or all of them to djs that dont want to search, or buy those bootlegs(its funny some think im booting them myself as if i have that much time, or if thats a disposition in my character. cmon yall are that cynical?
the sketches songs will reappear again , more finished and not all of them check ss041
thumpasaurus is next via runningback records.
but besides those ive lost interest in reapproaching the sketches stuff because well they were sketches tests unfinished drawings. I was experimentingwith that when life started to kick ass in areas that effected everything else including my releases.
besides that,
I simply do not control what dists and stores mark up, when I saw what sketches was going for i was pissed, but those who know me know how serious things have been since then and fools marking up my decidedly overpriced records(10$ ea) was the least of my problems.Im just deciding what to do now. sketches was created for the demf of that year for sale on site only….that was the plan until life had plans of its own, so w If i rerelease sketches vinyl again im a bastard. if I dont release it again im a bastard. regardless im a contradiction, like everyone on this planet …and dont get it twisted…the underground music industry is a dirty game, no doubt. but bootlegg my own shit? fuck you. beyond that, my records are for playing out. they are not comic books. if you dont like them thats fine.If you do thats great. getting a website redone so I can serve anyone interested and maybe make good on some of these mistakes n misjudgements. To all those who have supported me THANK YOU. I will try my best not to disappoint. it has been a terribly difficult last two years, and it has not been easy. I have made somebad callss, true. These are shifting sands. Its very hard to keep your ideals when theres soo much being done to undo what we care about. How do you make records and live off of it? Do other things in addition…oh and by the way- you can call me out on the sketches. horrible set of events that swirled around that so r revisting them with fuller production(original Plan) or moving on altogether.
you can call me out on the edits but your about a decade late and already paying for that nothing said here trumps what Im oblidged to do

but questioning whether Ive paid dues is something I take to heart, but not here in cyberspace. do your homework., and if you still got something to say hit me up at 313 544 STFU

maaaaaaad late!

thanks everybody for giving a shit enough to speak on their contentions, call me names, and doubt my character, offer their neutrality, explain the industry. without critical exchange how else anybody get better at this?
even if my response is a year late
thank yall
now im gonna STFU

how does one even get their hands on that comp

i think the carl craig mix sounds really amazing on a really really loud system, there are bass dynamics in the song that you don't really hear on a home stereo.

I thought you disliked the carl craig remix moonship.

That post is pretty great. I thought the edits comp isn't out yet?

I saw physical copies at Rough Trade in London, and saw it on Juno.

i agree that it was over-rated and i also prefer the original mix ... that said, the appeal of the remix only clicked for me when i finally heard CC play it out at mezzanine in SF, i had heard it in mixes on stereos and through headphones for weeks (months?) before that but heard it never out.

Man, I'm just getting into Theo Parrish these past few weeks, and I haven't been this exhilaratingly disoriented by anything in a long time.

Good lord, the remix of Mancingelani on the Shangaan Shake album is just fantastic.

it's like a sonic speedball, as insanely fast as the Shangaan stuff yet as slow and wobbly as Theo's finest productions. i don't know how he pulled it off.

"Lots of gay clubbing is about cruising for sex, or taking drugs, or getting shitfaced with friends, or being able to sing and dance along to camp pop hits, or just to lose yourself in a crowd of likeminded people.

-- Tim F"

good for it, i care as much about that as i do straight clubs based on the same principles: not at all. there are an innumerable number of clubs of all types that play terrible music to people who don't give a shit, they are are equally worthless.

Took me all the way back, way back.

gawd pipecock was great

he's so ... right

that jazz mix is a bit of alright, ain't it?

yep!

also was really happy that Overyohead / Dance Of The Drunken Drums + some other old Theo P 12s getting repressed recently

you mean the black jazz comp? i'm curious to hear it, though i think i've been overexposed to black jazz.

Yeah. That one. Right up my strasse
