His interviews are always great. Even this one is good despite the interviewer being a dreadful human being:

Harvey's just got such a supreme voice hasn't he?
― Blue Collar Retail Assistant (Dwight Yorke), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 08:04 (eleven years ago) link
he's generally the only good interview subject on BiS ever bcz he's so effusively genial, counteracts Sweeney's hesitancy and giggling
he talked for an entire show! also, genial? he just sounded like your standard inferiority complex british dj to me.
― Know how Roo feel (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 08:49 (eleven years ago) link
He's been on a few times, sometimes talking more than others. The one yr probably thinking of though I rly enjoyed how he got so carried away talking to Tim that he had to change records as they'd become complete beds!
There are so many BiSes where Tim's playing a CD someone's sent in, embrace the variation maaan

the talking in general is awful. apart from pat mahoney, he was funny.

if your radio show sets had a history of showing up as $30 bootleg CDs in Japan you might try and find creative ways to discourage that practice too ;)

I was sad that I was to lame to go to afrika Bambaata tim Sweeney and breakbeat Lou at the Dekalb market party Sunday but next one is Harvey and Danny Wang.

all those people aren't going to be on the boat that whole time, are they? they're going to be playing at venues in port, right? or at least getting on and off at port?
harvey will probably show up at sunset, naked except for cowboy boots, sunglasses and cowboy hat, riding a magical dolphin through the waves

Fuck cruise ships

otm but imo a cruise ship is better than a huge hot muddy sweaty field filled with shitty tents.

whoa really? when is that? I had assumed Dekalb Market as a dance music spot was kaputt after Dog & Pony moved the Chromatics and Maxxi Soundsystem shows to other venues. I went to see Blondes there, it was pretty good.

***SAVE THE DATE***SUNDAY AUGUST 12TH DJ HARVEY & DANIEL WANGat DEKALB MARKET
Spread the word!!!
never seen either one of those guys
― dmr, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 02:47 (eleven years ago) link
I've seen harvey a few times, first was the basement of Centro Fly. That was a lot of fun.
Danny Wang was a big influence on me. I remember him djing at Open Air once, tiny "techno" club on St. Marks, back when there were "techno" clubs, real dot-com era, and they had all these video screens with animations on them. He played stuff like the 9 minute version of Passion by the Flirts and Zwei by Electric MInd. I still play that stuff a lot. Stuff like that and She Can't Love You by Chemise really sums up an era for me when I was first going out to like every time Morgan and Danny were djing and people were just starting to play italo again.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 02:59 (eleven years ago) link
danny & harvey together sounds like a really fun party
― ♆ (gr8080), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 04:22 (eleven years ago) link
I only made it to Centro Fly once before it closed. I think by the time I moved to NYC it was on its way out.

BIG BIG QUESTION (and sorry if there's already been discussion about it): Which is your favourite of the Black Cock edits?
― Blue Collar Retail Assistant (Dwight Yorke), Tuesday, 24 July 2012 09:59 (eleven years ago) link
is No Way Back a Black Cock edit? if so, that one
― mizzell, Tuesday, 24 July 2012 15:20 (eleven years ago) link
lol, I doubt I'd go to Coachella again but due to the fact it's in a desert, sweat evaporates off you near instantly and there's no mud

errr I'm probably interviewing him later this week (!!!!!!!!) so if ANY ILXor has any q's for the man himself, give me a shout.
― Blue Collar Retail Assistant (Dwight Yorke), Monday, 17 September 2012 13:11 (eleven years ago) link
ask him "what's the longest Dj set you've ever played"
;]
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Monday, 17 September 2012 16:27 (eleven years ago) link
how does it feel going from fame and adulation to obscurity and scorn?
is it true you mime along to prerecorded dj sets? and that your live show is actually a dude in a harvey mask?
how does it feel being a pioneer of the "all digital" mp3 scene? do you ever feel inadequate compared to vinyl DJs?
Alex Patterson of the orb and mixmaster Morris can dj with their feet, what can you do?

Convince a Harvey sceptic, any mixes I need to listen to?
― Chewshabadoo, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 12:47 (eleven years ago) link
The Sarcastic Disco volumes, the old mixes he did for Radio 1, Late Night Sessions, his Beats in Space mixes, I've got a few more somewhere but can't remember what they are. All the pre *the NAME the BRAND DJ HARVEY* stuff you'll find much better if you like your mixes straight up selections and straight mixing. After that it's all fancy mixers and tape effects and tripped out crusty vibes.
I think I'm alone in thinking that his RA 300 mix was like the best thing that site has ever done. Such a challenging and engaging mix, lots of weirdo deep noisy tribal stuff mixed and paced masterfully, lots of moments, a proper trip.
― Crackle Box, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 13:16 (eleven years ago) link
his Beats in Space mixes,
NOT HIS LAST ONE.
he's done this week's I think, tho: http://www.beatsinspace.net/playlists/643
not listened yet but perhaps he doesn't talk for 90 minutes this time.
― Know how Roo feel (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 15:19 (eleven years ago) link
BIS tweeted about it: "Here is last nights BIS w/ DJ Harvey talking about his UK shows, Gary Stewart, Larry Levan, David Mancuso, Drugs, etc: beatsinspace.net/playlists/643" so sounds like an interview
― Arvo Pärt Chimp (Neil S), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 15:40 (eleven years ago) link
not sure if either of these are the same as the "300" mix mentioned upthread but they're both awesome:
