Mark E, The Revenge & Slow-Motion House/Disco

i have been mixing this stuff every other wednesday night at Seattle's Grey Gallery. Last night I started at 91bpm and moved through the Lissvik mix of Fever Ray into some Meanderthals, Rune Lindbaek, Cousin Cole, Revenge edits and more. Highlight of the set for me was going from Sabres of Paradise - Edge 6 into the Pressure Drop mix of Why Can't We Live Together. Set finished at 107bpms with the Revenge edit of One of These Nights.

*set also included Reggie Dokes - Black Children of the Ghetto which sounded much better over the PA than it has on my headphones.

Reggie Dokes blows all these other guys away. He's possibly my favorite producer at this point.

sounds like a good night. was the crowd into it? and woah has lissvik remixed anything else? xposts

yes, the crowd were into it. by 'crowd' i mean my dj partner, my girlfriend, 2 of her friends and the bartender.

d lissvik mix of fever ray isnt amazing

The Red Rack Em mix for Cool in the Pool is great as well, treading the (arguably non-existent) line between this sound and Theo/Moodymann.

what don't you like about it space cowboy?

matos: i think it depends on the artist really. some of the tracks are tripped out chopped up disco edits and some are super-linear slow house.

on the cole medina tip, if you can find his karen carpenter mix, get it! it's great

what don't you like about it space cowboy?

i dunno, just not that interesting, i like the original more... again it's not BAD it's just not up to expectations (which are really high for d lissvik)

this is the one im interested in but havent heard, so i don't wanna blow $30+ on it

Just went back to check what else i played and remembered i got some positive feeback from One Night At The Raw Deal by Twisted Wires.

Huge fan of Mark E's "Slave 1."

just used "slave 1" in a mix!

I always think Mark E being from Manchester makes a lot of sense cos his stuff feels so like the Unabombers type of music, in a really huge way. I recommend people here check out Electric Soul 1 and 2 (not heard some of the later CDs.) I don't usually go for downtempo "nu soul" or whatever but those mixes are the more than acceptable face with lots of house/disco stuff too...

Man, I forgot how good "R&B Drunkie" is -- I've been looking for that for ages, too. Thanks!!!

my parents play the fuck out of all this stuff. when i was young and experimenting with cool edit pro dad used to get me to loop his favourite bits from his records. just wish i had a delay and and a filter. could have been 13 year old moodymann.

i have been mixing this stuff every other wednesday night at Seattle's Grey Gallery

brotherlovesdub, what time? I play every Wed at Havana, across the street, from 7 to 9 p.m., just playing whatever I want, sit-down radio-DJ style. I should obv. swing by if you're on after 9!

i start at 9 and mix until 10:30, then again after midnight. we're losing the weekly after may and will go to a monthy in june. since i mixed this week, I won't mix again until the week after next. next week is dj struggle and d'jeronimo though, and they play all sorts of incredible deep house ala reggie dokes, prime numbers etc. great dj's.

Good to know, thanks.

Nyers - mark e gonna be at santos week after next

not to be mr spam dude but roman flugel's mix here is in this style and v nice

since there is a little bit of dj cole medina / scott k discussion on the thread, anybody have a copy of his (limited to 1000) edit of james brown's "satisfied", as seen here?

grabbing now, ronan. btw, i don't think mark e is from manchester. in/around birmingham maybe?

ah my bad, I was sure that he was all this time.

would looove to hear more unabombers btw, all i seem to have is that 'electric chair saved my life' from last year. which is good, but probably wouldn't have connected them to this 'slo mo' business based on the mix or anything

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!

that sick dub delay band 12" totally fits in here, right?

san frandisco: it's on the way

thanks!!!

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 Herbert
http://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

thx for that Cole Medina, moonship. been lookin for that Buffalo Bill track for a while now, I think it was on a Rub N Tug mix a few years ago

btw, my gift to this thread...

holy fuck that first linkwood track is AMAZING. is that a mizell bros edit?

yah it's this right?

shit, maybe not! same damn chords

actually this, which mizells prob have nothing to do w/

yeah lol was just about to post that. still bugging me where exactly i heard it before. guess i have another reason to spring for that leo's sunship lp.

anyone going to see mark e tomorrow @ santos?

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.

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

yeah, just reposting to say that the roman flugel mix is my mix of the year so far ... so fucking sick

yeah i haven't heard many mixes this year but that flugel one is so FRESH sounding

did i miss a link?

it's on local garcia's blog, which i think is still "house is a feeling"

maybe a bit, but afaik he's always hovered around the 110's

i kind of stopped following this scene because i never really felt like listening to a whole set of it and also because it's too hard to mix w regular paced 120-ish stuff

Such a tremendous amount of this stuff if one goes digging, particularly edging into nu-disco and funky house domains.
