wow, that edit is really retarded

― jaxon, Thursday, 29 March 2007 06:11 (nineteen years ago)

I should send him/her my re-edit of "wheel my out" where I loop the first 2 bars over and over.

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 29 March 2007 06:59 (nineteen years ago)

funny grady...just emailed the same comment to michael before seeing this here.

― dan selzer, Thursday, 29 March 2007 09:46 (nineteen years ago)

that johnny mathis disco track on robotsinheat sort of exemplifies a lot of music on these cosmic/easy pop/disco blogs, taking those one or two bizarro piece from well known artists catalogue and giving it some new cratedigger life.

here's an imaginary mixtape i would make out of this kind of stuff:

paul mccartney - temporary secretary
paul mccartney - let 'em in
johnny mathis - gone gone gone
something from chubby checker's psych record
osmonds - i, i, i
the who - eminence front
alan parsons - mammagamma
greg kihn - jeopardy (instrumental)
cat stevens - was dog a doughnut?
frankie valli - beggin'
neil young - computer age

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 29 March 2007 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

there's a really good "d-i-r-t-y edits" of beggin'

by these guys from France ... they've done a bunch of cool ones

Re: "I think Rong should get its own thread."

Vahid here http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=41&threadid=51350:

"the tussle+dj spun/BC connection is that there are more interesting things going on w/ dub vs electronic music these days than basic channel. i just wanted to get that out there, but if i were to start a thread on west coast house = I GET NO HITS, so i troll these threads."

vahid (vahid) on Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:55 (1 month ago)

Looks like now's your chance. I'd be interested, as all the Rong I've heard is Lee Douglas and Tussle, but I love 'em both.

― matt2, Thursday, 29 March 2007 19:02 (nineteen years ago)

"all the Rong I've heard is Lee Douglas and Tussle"

the How + Why edits are cool
no idea what the originals of those are

also the NY House'n Authority record which I think is a reissue b/w a remix

― dmr, Thursday, 29 March 2007 19:11 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks. I'll be sure to check those out.

― matt2, Thursday, 29 March 2007 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

I believe all the Tu Rong stuff are Nu Groove reissues

This is indeed the case.

Sort of off-topic, but this is really the only active thread that's even a remotely appropriate place to ask: GAMM re-edits, any good? There's a CD out now and I'm tempted to pick it up and see what the fuss is about.

― Telephone thing, Thursday, 29 March 2007 20:46 (nineteen years ago)

did you guys know chic produced an album for johnny mathis

― deej, Thursday, 29 March 2007 20:49 (nineteen years ago)

apparently languishing in the vaults : (

― deej, Thursday, 29 March 2007 20:49 (nineteen years ago)

GAMM re-edits, any good?

I've only heard a couple ... they're okay but a little too cocktail-lounge for me .... more of a jazzy broken-beat type thing

I'm talking about the stuff like Red Astaire "Follow Me" which is a jazz xylophone + hard drum loop with Method Man over the top. not sure if that's what you're asking about.

― dmr, Thursday, 29 March 2007 21:05 (nineteen years ago)

a ny thing is putting out rub&tug tshirts. i want!

lol I thought you hated that mix

maybe they can customize yours with "HI I LISTEN TO BEPPE LODA TOO" printed on the back!

― dmr, Thursday, 29 March 2007 21:28 (nineteen years ago)

gamm is EXCELLENT ... but yeah, it's broken beat, so your mileage is going to vary. i wouldn't call it "cocktail" / "loungey" because then people are going to think of combustible edison!!

think mf doom or pete rock type dusty jazz loops but with a dancier sensibility (it's basically post-post-post-acid jazz dance, they even do a pharoah sanders cover!)

and "follow me" is like total destruction on the dancefloor and mega-addictive on the iPod. you must truly hate fun if you don't enjoy this!

― moonship journey to baja, Thursday, 29 March 2007 21:29 (nineteen years ago)

in nyc if broken beat is on, people are generally hanging out drinking, not destroying the dancefloor ... at least in my experience

that's all i meant by cocktail lounge

"follow me" is a cool song but I never felt the need to start collecting GAMM records

― dmr, Thursday, 29 March 2007 21:39 (nineteen years ago)

ahh what do i know, those are prolly peak-time records at Nublu or whatever

I'm just not as into it as other stuff

― dmr, Thursday, 29 March 2007 21:56 (nineteen years ago)

Michael F Gill on Thursday, March 29, 2007 9:49 AM (1 hour ago)

Yeah, but some have new remixes from people like Spun, Brennan Green, Ray Mang Etc. I really like the 33 1/3 Queen release.

The last few Rong releases have gone into some really different territory, like soul/hip hop/downtempo/80's electro sounding stuff. Also, the label art is getting waaaaaaay more hott:

!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like a few of the Gamm releases I've heard. The Tangoterje/Michael Jackson one kind of fits into the disco edit/nu disco/beardo sound, but most of that CD doesn't. dmr is right, its mostly jazzy broken beat cocktail music, but if I have to listen to jazzy broken beat stuff, Gamm is quality. For being grey-erea unnoficcial edits/remixes, they sound great. I think there was a D'Angelo one I really liked, too. But again, not really beardo/nu-disco; maybe in a Henrik Swartz set.

The 2nd newest Gamm release, Beatconductor (aka Beatfanatic aka Discoconductor aka Jazzconductor) "Balearic Boogie" remix of Vengalis' "Let It Happen" comes close. It sounds great on a big system. I've been playing it a lot lately. But again, it kind of falls into that area where you could be listening to 90's big beat/ Zero 7.

no way, i thought it was great. i think i was just joshin on whoever said the mix was totally groundbreaking unheard of. also the design is super sick

yeah to that...

GLISSANDRO 70

was there not a thread on this somewhere?!?!?

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 March 2007 03:46 (nineteen years ago)

it's the missing link between QUIET VILLAGE and BLACK DICE

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 March 2007 03:46 (nineteen years ago)

actually it's not very quiet village at all, i just threw that out there ... how about

missing link between PRINS THOMAS and BLACK DICE

it is *very* black dice

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 March 2007 03:48 (nineteen years ago)

I am interested...

Awesome record sleeve, as well:

― Telephone thing, Friday, 30 March 2007 04:04 (nineteen years ago)

was there something about this in the sandbox? it has definitely been talked about, i remember ppl commenting on the cover jacking the generic west end 12" sleeve:

― haitch, Friday, 30 March 2007 04:04 (nineteen years ago)

haha xpost!

― haitch, Friday, 30 March 2007 04:04 (nineteen years ago)

lfam started a thread in the sandbox but the title was something vague and i cant find it now.

ive only heard "Analogue Shantytown" but i like it. how is the rest of it?

― g®▲Ðұ, Friday, 30 March 2007 05:49 (nineteen years ago)

the singing is pretty bad (muppet voices) but once you get past that, it's really nice. it sort of divvies up into tracks 1/2/3 and 4/5. the 2nd half is AWESOME, long-form black-dice-go-disco drum circle + delay experiments.

the first three tracks (opener, "analogue shantytown" and "bolan muppets") are pretty, and sort of hit the arthur russel "another thought" vibe.

it's nice! not mindblowing, but nice!

if they found a collaborator with more of an instinct for DAHNCE they'd be killing it.

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 March 2007 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

So uh "Follow Me" - how did random swedish producer dude get Red and Meth collab in 2007? Or is this some old acapella i should recognize and don't.

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

This song is great btw

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

it's an unofficial remix / bootleg.

― stirmonster, Friday, 30 March 2007 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

yeah it's some acappella, I don't know which song

Follow Me has been around at least a couple of years, maybe 2004? ... pretty much the most well known/popular gamm track afaik

― dmr, Friday, 30 March 2007 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

Craig D. from glissandro did a really good beardo type mix (similar tracks to what Michael posited above actually) for the d-i-r-t-y dudes' other blog a while ago (alainfinkelkraut)

― dmr, Friday, 30 March 2007 15:15 (nineteen years ago)

oh ok i'm just totally not up on things...i figured it was new-ish since he's still got it playing on his myspace

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

You all probably knew this, but one of the Glissandro 70 guys is Sandro Perri aka Polmo Polpo aka they guy who did the 21:30 remake of "Kiss Me Again."

― matt2, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

either Craig D or Sandro lurks and occasionally posts on noize board

― jaxon, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

i'm kinda torn on that kathy diamond. i really like it, the music's really great and some of the textures are fab, but every once in a while, and maybe it's her voice, i feel like i'm listening to some mid 90s trip hop. kruder or zero 7 type stuff.

jaxon on Thursday, March 29, 2007 12:07 PM (Yesterday)

I don't get this, but it does make me think of the Tynan-electrosoul thread, which is a little :-/

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

let's just admit (and move on) - a lot of this stuff IS the 00s extension of trip hop / big beat (didn't i beat that dead horse upthread)

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

BTW it's the acapella from d'angelo ft redman + method man - "left and right"

learn to use google search people

gamm is funny because it's really on the OTHER side of the fence ... they're not so much a DISCO EDIT label, as they are a HIP-HOP EDIT label (aka a BLENDS label) a la AV8 (think CROOKLYN CLAN) ... they're like the euro, upscale, non-gully crooklyn clan (but that's OK)

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

oh man thats stunningly obvious

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

my excuse is the new beat was too next level for me to bother recognizing the verses

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

And that I pretend to listen to voodoo but really just listen to brown sugar
