ask him why he hasn't played the uk for so long, then go off and read ulysses while he answers.

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.

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.

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:

it's not super representative of what he does but I love Mad Dog Chronicles (heavy rock / funk / beardo)

RA 300 was episode 300 of the Resident Advisor RA mix podcast, posted a few months ago; those two are BBC Radio mixes from the 90s, going by the URLs
― ┐(´ー`)┌ (sic), Sunday, 23 September 2012 02:31 (eleven years ago) link
Had a great chat with him tonight, such an easy/enjoyable person to interview...gives you gold with minimal prodding.
Flopson: Harvey bought the Amadeo record for something like a quarter of a cent in Greece, allegedly, and is glad that he's helped it become a cult classic.

I picked read the interviews the day, nice work. Off-topic but in the Fake one you mention a ILM thread! It was then guessed it must be an ILMer interviewing him.

Didn't make it to the end of the show last night but had an absolute blast. He was playing Sapphire by Zombi when I walked in...hearing a record that sonically gorgeous on a soundsystem that good was pretty much orgasmic. He also dropped an insanely long/insanely incredible edit/remix of I'm a Man by Spencer Davis Group (which I think is the I'm a Man/Yeke Yeke single by Clubhouse) which absolutely destroyed the place. Yeah, great stuff, nice'n'housey at the start then went full on disco. The crowd were good too, pretty much everyone seemed to be there because they wanted to be there and not because it was the hottest ticket in town.
Obviously Harvey looked as cool as ever. Shame I wasn't allowed to thank him for giving up his time the other week to do the interview with me.
Any other ILXors there?
― Blue Collar Retail Assistant (Dwight Yorke), Saturday, 20 October 2012 14:41 (eleven years ago) link
somebody on facebook said he closed with Save a Prayer by Duran Duran
― dan selzer, Saturday, 20 October 2012 15:07 (eleven years ago) link
Stayed till just after 4, but then tired legs got the better of me. It was amazing...
the soundsystem and venue were perfect for this gig...
― my opinionation (Hamildan), Saturday, 20 October 2012 16:31 (eleven years ago) link
Looks as though I might have had the same cynical pessimism followed by regret for Harvey @ Oval Space as I had for the Olympics. Still holding out for a residency at Plastic People or similar.
― mmmm, Sunday, 21 October 2012 01:09 (eleven years ago) link
Interesting that some people hated the sound:

― toby, Sunday, 21 October 2012 07:04 (eleven years ago) link
tracer hand and i were also there! he sacked off after a while but i stayed until about 4.30 making dancefloor-friends with strangers.
i thought the sound was good but it definitely depended on where you were in the room - there were a few places of gorgeous clarity, a few places with a bad echo, a few places where it was frankly tinny.
― c sharp major, Sunday, 21 October 2012 15:46 (eleven years ago) link
really want to find out what track it was he played at 4.20 or so that seemed to go on forever and was stupid dancing delight.
― c sharp major, Sunday, 21 October 2012 15:48 (eleven years ago) link
That was Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up
― dan selzer, Sunday, 21 October 2012 21:59 (eleven years ago) link
fp'd u for that
― c sharp major, Sunday, 21 October 2012 22:11 (eleven years ago) link
I thought the sound was great but it was true there were "dead" spots, and sometimes a tall person would move in behind you and suddenly things would get muffled - it was a weird, morphing, multi-tentacled auditory experience which frankly seemed exactly appropriate
Harvey also used the volume knob, sometimes bringing the overall level down a bit for a good 10-15 minutes before slamming into something big; I thought it was tremendously effective and also made for a more convivial atmosphere in that you actually could chat with ppl from time to time
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 22 October 2012 08:52 (eleven years ago) link
I stayed to the end. He actually finished with Chilly, For Your Love, but then said thanks and yes, played Save a Prayer.
Anyways, it was awesome, but I wish I'd got there for the start and left a bit earlier. I'm too old for this!
― Citizen Smith (Jamie T Smith), Monday, 22 October 2012 09:23 (eleven years ago) link
Me too :( I think you made the right call though.. imo it was a sort of moiling, unfocused vibe until around 12:30 or 12:45
How late did it go?
