and that's a GOOD picture. oh man, you should see my new New York driver's license...

the only problem i have is that I cant stand mix cds. I wish I could have all those little tracks on their own.

No dis to your skills Dan. I have one of your earlier mixes from a few years ago.

I want a straight beardo comp.

the only problem i have is that I cant stand mix cds. I wish I could have all those little tracks on their own.

but it's so hard to license! (i justify mix CDs as ethically better then bootlegging for the above reason). Anyway, you mean the Golden Limo mix? That was kinda goofy and rushed but fun. I have plans for like 4 more mixes that I've just been too lazy to get to.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 14:00 (nineteen years ago)

I was thinking about the logistics of licensing some of this stuff recently myself and it has gotta be a pain. However, if groove merchant can do it with their super obscure funk singles it must be possible.

Its all about the return on the investment I guess.

― hector (hector), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 16:34 (nineteen years ago)

It's really all about social politics and how insane the artists and/or the label/people that own their material are!

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

Sign me up for the Crazy Rhythms unmixed 3x12". Ditto for Sweeny's!

― researching ur life (grady), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 19:17 (nineteen years ago)

Crazy Rhythms is SOLD OUT, btw!

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

Are there any more RVNG releases in the works Dan? You guys' and Sweeney's mixes and the The Flying Squad 12" all received major air time in my home and automobile.

― matt2 (matt2), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 20:35 (nineteen years ago)

I think the idea was mix CDs, then edits and finally a full-on legit record label, so expect stuff, but I know one of the main dudes has been very busy with other activities.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 20:43 (nineteen years ago)

Considering the quality of the releases so far, the prospect of a full-on legit record label is exciting. I hope that comes to fruition.

Now for the real question: Is it I GET RaViNG? I GET RoViNG (for some reason this is what I always say in my head, strangely)? I GET ReVeNGe? Nothing at all?

― matt2 (matt2), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

revenge

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 21:26 (nineteen years ago)

people should get psyched for Wurst Edits, some really cool stuff coming up there.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 21:38 (nineteen years ago)

They sent me two free pins when I ordered the Flying Squad 12" and Crazy Rhythms CD at the same time! Nice guys!

Side note- Is there some kind of deep/funky house track that samples Munich Machine's "Get on the Funk Train"? The last two times I saw Harvey spin he played something that had the same Female voice talking at the begining of Trip One, and the same Whistle sample, but otherwise sounded pretty different. But a great track nonethless!

― researching ur life (grady), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 22:27 (nineteen years ago)

RVNG rules. can't wait for their next release.

also: Dan, how will yr next mixes be available? through RVNG or Acute?

― Robert Acosta (Rob 77), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 00:49 (nineteen years ago)

free online, they're nothing serious just some fun stuff I've been meaning to do for ages.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 06:18 (nineteen years ago)

Trawling through discogs.com I notice that the Glimmers beat Rub'n'Tug to using Flash & the Pan's "Midnight Man" on their SummerMadnessAfterSun mix from a few years back. Anyone got that mix? I love "Midnight Man" so much.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 08:33 (nineteen years ago)

yes

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 08:45 (nineteen years ago)

it's their best one

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 08:46 (nineteen years ago)

Lil' Louis & The Party - "Clap Your Hands (Tambourine Mix)"

oh man this is good

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 08:48 (nineteen years ago)

Better than Eskimo III? :-( Suddenly I feel like I have a cd-shaped whole in my heart.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 09:04 (nineteen years ago)

BTW I'm absolutely loving the Rub'N'Tug remix of Minimal Compact's "Nil Nil" - a fabulous psych-hippie-post-punk-disco meltdown. That guitar!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 09:09 (nineteen years ago)

I was thinking that the Rub'n'Tug Fabric mix makes more sense, and sounds better, if you think of it as their equivalent of The Glimmers' Culture Club mixes - no-nonsense, populist, contemporary, almost anti-cratedigger party mixes which complement their more unpredictable retro releases. And you can't argue with tracks like Gary Martin's "Turkish Tavern".

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 09:21 (nineteen years ago)

i got that Rub N Tug Minimal Compact remix, and it is fabulous. i've never heard the original. is it very similar?

― Robert Acosta (Rob 77), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:21 (nineteen years ago)

but the "culture club" albums are stuffed w/ anthems! and pop stars! and the fabric mix is so anonymous ...

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 21:38 (nineteen years ago)

upcoming on RVNG - a justine delaney mix cd and a betty botox ep.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Wednesday, 1 November 2006 22:17 (nineteen years ago)

ohpleasephpleasohplease let this be the one with "Hallelujah" on it.

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 2 November 2006 22:23 (nineteen years ago)

HA!

― hector (hector), Thursday, 2 November 2006 22:33 (nineteen years ago)

basically, this thread, an exercise in inventive genre conjuration, tells us that between lcd/nike, tim sw + dan w/ rvng, + rub n tug / aNYthing that:

beardo = doing promotional mixes for lifestyle brands

― manute lol (sanskrit), Thursday, 2 November 2006 22:34 (nineteen years ago)

lol you forgot harvey / freshjive

― dmr (Renard), Thursday, 2 November 2006 22:51 (nineteen years ago)

i thot rvng was just a record label?

― researching ur life (grady), Thursday, 2 November 2006 22:55 (nineteen years ago)

"captain starlight" is definitely the beardiest beardo song i've heard

― gaseous (gaseous), Thursday, 2 November 2006 23:03 (nineteen years ago)

It is isn't it! I love when it suddenly goes all astral guitar prog in its instrumental section - outerspace desolation!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 2 November 2006 23:08 (nineteen years ago)

i thot rvng was just a record label?

they were more like a party promoter or something. until recently. aside from the mix CDs, flying squad is the first record they put out I think.

― dmr (Renard), Thursday, 2 November 2006 23:10 (nineteen years ago)

Right, but otherwise, definatley more music-centric than aNYthing, Nike, FreshJive, or Sarcastic, right?

― researching ur life (grady), Thursday, 2 November 2006 23:36 (nineteen years ago)

yeah

― dmr (Renard), Thursday, 2 November 2006 23:42 (nineteen years ago)

― jaxon (jaxon), Thursday, 2 November 2006 23:47 (nineteen years ago)

ooof!

Next 12 Target Commercials to be scored with TroublemanUnlimited tracks!!!!

― researching ur life (grady), Friday, 3 November 2006 00:34 (nineteen years ago)

whenever I hear that Goldfrapp song on the ads for "Nip/Tuck" it takes me a second to remember it's not Glass Candy

― dmr (Renard), Friday, 3 November 2006 02:28 (nineteen years ago)

rvng was more then a party promoter, def. involved with some behind the scenes lifestyle branding and youth demographic street marketing corporate interests for tons of money and/or sparks type event planning and street teaming.

I made all that up.

and all disco heads, bearded or otherwise, should check out my old partner's blog:

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Friday, 3 November 2006 06:54 (nineteen years ago)

a betty botox ep

voodoo 1 = CRAZY AWESOME

is it bad form to ask how much of that is the original and how much is tweaked? I haven't heard it so I can't tell ....

Has anyone heard of this Elaste vol. 1: Slow Motion Disco comp coming out on Compost? Press release from the Compost site:

The Story of the Italian Cosmic sound in 2 minutes:

Italy, 1976: In a luxurious discotheque on the Italian Adriatic coast, every weekend two American DJs called Bob and Tom play records that are just making history in their hometown NYC at the legendary „Loft“. Bob and Tom are resident DJs at the „Baia Degli Angeli“, a gigantic club with various floors, fountains, swimming pools and lots of glitz of the Jet set. After the Baia closes due to a drug raid, Daniele Baldelli, inspired by the „Baia Sound“ starts DJing in a new club called „Cosmic“ in Lazise.

Not only he´s beat-mixing Funk, Soul and early Disco - Baldelli´s sytle is unique: songs are mixed perfectly in a superslow tempo of 80-105 BPM. Cosmic is like a wild LSD trip: Afro mixed with German electronics, percussion solos, Bolero with delay effects, 12“s on 33 instead of 45, 70s Krautrock, Industrial... This way of playing records is absolutely new, and Daniele gets quickly famous. A whole wave of DJs and clubs get inspired by his mixtapes, and soon the whole of northern Italy calls it „Cosmic Sound“.

Unlike Italodisco, Cosmic or „Afrofunky“ was never exported broadly; it has always stayed a local party phenomenon. That’s one of the reasons why it wasn’t really exploited commercially yet like many other 1980ies genres. Today producers as Lindstrom, Prins Thomas or DJ Harvey caught the spirit and labels like Gomma, or Eskimo are deeply inspired and now try to create dance tracks that have a similar atmosphere.

This compilation is a collection of the original music that was actually played at Discoteca Cosmic. It is playful, experimental, harmonic and most of all it is dance music.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Wednesday, 15 November 2006 01:44 (nineteen years ago)

all the original cosmic mixtapes are available on the internet, although the sound quality isn't the greatest.
