yeah I guess it's not really connected, I do think specifically Mark E's mixes are quite similar to theirs though, just the source material for his edits and stuff.

I re-listened to the Roman Ronan mix last Friday by coincidence and noted how codeine-disco-y it was!

I've been away from a computer over the long weekend, but thanks for all the links, uploads and recommendations!
jamie where is that initial quote from?
It's from Dicky Trisco, from his mix on Cool in the Pool with Pete Herberthttp://www.coolinthepool.com/radio.html
i think what i love most about this genre is the bpms could be considered practically downtempo, but the way the tracks are arranged gives them that awesome chugging energy that makes you want to dance
This nails exactly what I find compelling about this stuff.
For my money, Beat Down and Deja Vu are the best Mark E tracks. So good.
And there are a ton of Revenge tracks to stream here http://soundcloud.com/the-revenge

just realized that this tune fits this thread perfectly...
Tiger + Woods - Come Down
no idea who 'tiger and woods' are, but if you combine this, golf channel records, and john daly we have a good argument for a genuine golf fetish within the genre.
the original is good too-

i really love the mark e podcast but i swear to god i downloaded it ages ago, and recently couldn't find it anywhere on my HD, downloaded it again this week and the same thing has happened. Either I'm going senile or my computer hates disco edits.

is that the one that comes tagged as *** Love The Action *** ? Could be the *** causing an issue.

i'm downloading it again from the link on this thread so i'll check if that's the case.

best thing about disco edits is that they can turn a piece of shit like "love you inside out" into the greatest song ever.

after listening to this stuff for the past week or two I gotta admit I think most of those Revenge edits are pretty pointless. the original Rene & Angela is about 1000x better than their version. the exception is the Eagles one, that's pretty sweet (reminds me of the Tiedye dub of Tom Petty)
― dmr, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 01:52 (fifteen years ago) link
cosign x 1000
― Matos W.K., Wednesday, 13 May 2009 01:59 (fifteen years ago) link
isn't the eagle one sorta a mashup of the eagles and buffalo stance?
― (jaxon) ( .) ( .) (jaxon), Wednesday, 13 May 2009 02:15 (fifteen years ago) link
i think me being an earnest tom petty fan has kept me from checking out the "don't come around here no more" edit (a song i loathe in the first place) but i remember someone on ilx "threatening" to unleash their edit of "you got lucky" a year or so ago and i would sure like to hear that.
best thing about disco edits is that they can turn a piece of shit like "love you inside out" into the greatest song everok, i haven't heard the edit, but if this is such a piece of shit, how can performing a re-edit magically turn it into the greatest song ever? is it the vocals that need to be removed? drums ? everything? this ventures into the weird in-between re-edits --> dub ---> remix discussion which i think happened already but whatever. i am drunk btw
― QE II, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 03:50 (fifteen years ago) link
seperates the wheat from the chaff. there are some really cheesy moments on the original

yeah ok i'm just trying to level out the hyperbole
― QE II, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 06:06 (fifteen years ago) link
so is there an edit of "lowdown" that just extends the intro and removes the "cheezy" bridge yet?
― QE II, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 06:08 (fifteen years ago) link
I wrote this last year attempting to explain the Bee Gees re-edit's appeal: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/its-a-hit/Content?oid=643670. Basically, he swamps the thing in so much echo, isolates so many appealing musical aspects (the flecking wah-wah guitar, string zings, a clomping beat he doubles with a machine), and reshapes everything. The original is melba toast; the re-edit is the E hitting.
― Matos W.K., Wednesday, 13 May 2009 08:18 (fifteen years ago) link
Glad you all like that mix, it's so well done, been playing it so much since the weather's got good.
― Local Garda, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 09:00 (fifteen years ago) link
The Revenge's recent mix for Beats In Space is great too.
Anyone have his "Funk On A Whole Nu Level" track handy? Is a Warren G Regulate re-edit, can't find it anywhere (he posted it on the ooft blog ages ago but I missed it)

this is like when u sent me the careless whisper edit w/out the sax and i said "man i love the sax on this song" and the same time where you said "this great edit removes the cheesy sax"
