BEARDO DISCO (finally fixed for vahid) - not idjuts / lindstrom - harvey, rub'n'tug, map of africa

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!

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

oh man this is good

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

Larry Levan? i'm better than him too...

beardo = doing promotional mixes for lifestyle brands

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.

I made all that up.

hip is where the hipsters are

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 ....

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.

it's like a dub of the original - the original has far more vocals. the arrangement has been changed slightly too and some subtle processing has been done. this version is also 100% mixable.

it's a great track

:( i'm so not there. thanksgiving weekend and i won't be in town.

This is the Betty Botox Creed, isn't it?

My copy is in the mail fuck yeah.

It’s with great pleasure that we bring you the second installment in our Rvng of the Nrds 12” edit series. The latest is brought to you by Betty Botox, the queen bee of the classic Kraut 12” and World of Betty Botox and G4 F’ot LPs. By our estimation, some of the most far out production work she’s done. Really lysergic stuff for your inner shaman.

As with the first and future installments of the series, the 12” is limited to 1000 copies. We have about 75 left for mail order after sending most of the pressing to the furthest most regions of the world (who knew Hungarians were so down?). Check out some more info and Mp3 samples from the 12” here:

International friends will notice a new option to ship via air mail for a few dollars more. We ate shitte on the last 12” because we underestimated our shipping costs. So, if you want the 12” before 2007, we highly recommend pony’ing up.

Next time you’ll hear from us will be with news about our next mix CD – RvngMx5 feat. Justine D. We’re assembling now. It’s going to blow minds.

Until then, take good care.
