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)

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

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.

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)

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

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

voodoo is SO much better than brown sugar!!

oh man i dunno what half the stuff rub n tug played tonight was, but it was amazing.

― haitch, Friday, 30 March 2007 17:53 (nineteen years ago)

finally got to it, that Johnny Mathis track is hot! While aesthetically it fits beardo it does so because it's good disco, not because of the wtf? factor. If it's beardo it's because disco purists and boring DJs stick to the canon and would likely miss something like this, and regardless of whether the first person to start rocking that track was doing so with a wink or not, it stands on it's own as kitsch-free grade a(or at least b) disco.

the glissandro thread is actually on reg-ilx: this band is on constellation but their record cover looks like a west end sleeve and they quote "no ufos"

― lfam, Saturday, 31 March 2007 05:13 (nineteen years ago)

― lfam, Saturday, 31 March 2007 05:13 (nineteen years ago)

my conclusion was that the no ufos cover was pretty awesome but that sort of drum-circly talk talk inspired stuff is just not where i'm at

― lfam, Saturday, 31 March 2007 05:15 (nineteen years ago)

credit where credit is due, jed sent me that Johnny Mathis track.

― jaxon, Saturday, 31 March 2007 09:29 (nineteen years ago)

holy shit, look how sweet the new lee douglas is going to look:

― g®▲Ðұ, Monday, 2 April 2007 23:53 (nineteen years ago)

would that be considered a "reedit" of the virgin sleeves?

― jaxon, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 01:07 (nineteen years ago)

I know there's an Escort thread somewhere, but I cant find it. This is on thier myspace blog:

Escort 004 is done -- "All Through The Night". We're really excited about this one. And it's backed with a great -- almost B-more club themed -- remix by The Rapture. Expect it out in early May. It's gonna be the last new Escort for a while--intend to hibernate while we work on the LP. More details as the release date approaches. Although this summer we'll release some great remixes of the first four twelves that we'll be releasing while we finish the LP (Greg Wilson already did a sick re-edit of Starlight and Rub-N-Tug are working on a remix of Karawane.)

Knowing there's a Greg Wilson Re-Edit of "Starlight" is exciting.

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 02:03 (nineteen years ago)

escort are fantastic.

― haitch, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 04:17 (nineteen years ago)

That Lee Douglas is very exciting and so is the news about Escort.

― matt2, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 04:28 (nineteen years ago)

lee douglas was bringin' some nice edits on beats in space last week.

― haitch, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 05:21 (nineteen years ago)

Hot damn! A visit to Lee Douglas's myspace reveals that "New York Story" may be his best yet.

― matt2, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:32 (nineteen years ago)

cool designs. I guess I fell behind on Rong, I haven't seen hardly any of those new-looking ones that grady posted.

I did download the lee douglas beats in space for my ipod tho!

― dmr, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

Doug Lee's a talented illustrator/designer...really good at the sort of faux-airbrush stuff. He did the XLR8R issue dedicated to NY w/ James Murphy and Justine D. on the cover (and Acute Records on the inside) if anyone remembers that.

― dan selzer, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

Dan-

Is it the same guy doing all of the new Rong labels?

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 19:23 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know, but it looks like that Doug Lee label is his own work, the work of his I've seen looks similar to that. On closer inspection, he gets design credit on his own label, so check the others I suppose.

― dan selzer, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 20:10 (nineteen years ago)

>I Need Somebody To Love Tonight - Sylvester

this is so so so so kick ass. i'm told it's an edit that was only available on UK 12". all the copies i see of the EP that this is on include the vocal (which isn't that bad, but i prefer the instrumental)

― BATTAGS, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:26 (nineteen years ago)

the track jon posted in the tim goldsworthy thread is quite cosmic in its own way

― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:51 (nineteen years ago)

what's with people hating on disco vocals? LOOVVVE the sylvester vox. i think the thing that's lacking in the supposed new disco-y house-y stuff is decent vocals and performances. girls and guys with chops. where are they? singing pop rnb? at least gimme SOMETHING, even girlish fun vocals a la italo stuff like "feels good" or something you'd find on an august darnell record. it's like that vibe has disappeared from today's productions. i want it back.

― jaime, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

What about Escort? Lady can sing, that's for goddamn sure.

― Telephone thing, Monday, 9 April 2007 22:47 (nineteen years ago)

seconded, the Escort vocalist is excellent.

for the record, i adore soul/r&b/disco vocals. i don't think i'm 'hating'.

― BATTAGS, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 00:17 (nineteen years ago)

i use 'hating' very lightly. and i wasn't referring only to you either. i'm sometimes surprised when dj's will use dub versions of songs that i think have excellent vocals, performances and/ or lyrics. just me though.

wasn't nuts about 'starlight'. nice try but not quite there. i should really check out their other stuff though.

― jaime, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 01:16 (nineteen years ago)

sometimes vocals can derail a mix.

i may like a vocal version a lot, but in some contexts the dub or instrumental just works better.

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 01:30 (nineteen years ago)

There's a Sylvester 7" with I Need Somebody to Love Tonight that's instrumental, but yeah, I can't imagine not wanting to hear the vocals.

What's worse then not having vocals is having screaming white guy vocals all the time...that has it's place, but we need more jamie principals

― dan selzer, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 01:34 (nineteen years ago)

wasn't nuts about 'starlight'. nice try but not quite there. i should really check out their other stuff though.

Definitely try "A Bright New Life" first. Is SO GOOD.

― Telephone thing, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 05:27 (nineteen years ago)

We need more Jamie Principles and Sterling Voids indeed. Also, random Sylvester side-note, but I heard "Rock the Box" for the first time a few months back and my God that's a perfect track right there. Not sure how I'd missed it all these years.

― matt2, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

Strange subliminal capitalization of god in that sentence. Christian upbringing won't go away!

― matt2, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

wasn't nuts about 'starlight'. nice try but not quite there.

wow really? I luv that song.

Definitely try "A Bright New Life" first.

I like the vocals on "All That She Is" a little better .... I think if I was gonna put Bright New Life on a mix I'd use the Morgan Geist version!

― dmr, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

have we talked about A Mountain Of One?

They covered "Can't Be Serious" and have very mysterious/limited pressings similar to WEWW stuff. I haven’t heard much besides what’s on their myspace and the Ginny cover. Their first EP just got a re-press and a second one is supposed to be out soon.

According to this, they're playing live in London this week. Does anyone know if they play live often?

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

i was just about to ask about them. listened to a few songs on their myspace about an hour ago. def got the roxy music-ness about them.

― jaxon, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:05 (nineteen years ago)

I wish I had an mp3 of the Cant Be Serious cover.

I think I'm gonna pick up that re-press because I like what I hear so far.

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:22 (nineteen years ago)

Chelonis R. Jones is probably the closest equivalent to Sterling Void/Principle/Owens nowadays.

― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 23:45 (nineteen years ago)

I think that guy Samwell that sings "what what (in the butt)" is a good candidate, if given a better tune (although i really like the 'what what' beat...)

― BATTAGS, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 23:57 (nineteen years ago)

^^ yes!

also, who ever sang on the lcd 45/33 first part. (was that a sample?)

― jaxon, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 00:12 (nineteen years ago)

ps. alan parsons is killing me right now

― jaxon, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 00:17 (nineteen years ago)

Uh, I am NOT into those Mountain of One tracks. Voice= turnoff, in this case
