i was in A-1 records in ny this past weekend and they had one of the MoA 12"s on the wall to taunt people but not to sell. i guess Carlos is friends w/the guys that work there.

wow so cool

― lfam, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 05:31 (sixteen years ago) link

i ordered some import copies of the MOA CD for the store today, here's hoping we get them!

― BATTAGS, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 06:49 (sixteen years ago) link

Any idea how limited the run of CDs will be?

― Telephone thing, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 07:11 (sixteen years ago) link

Also: has anyone heard Mudd's Claremont 56 LP on Rong?

― Telephone thing, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 08:05 (sixteen years ago) link

I saw the MoA 12" there this weekend as well. Eric of Rub-n-Tug works there, so that's probably connection enough.

Speaking of Rong, any word on when Lee Douglas' new one is coming out?
I just realized dude is a really accomplished illustrator working with motion graphics heavyweights in NYC. Here's the new record's design...

this "cosmo galactic prism" looks quite a bit less interesting than what you can get for free from beats in space / PS1 radio / ILM mix thread / lovefingers / etc etc

But it works really, really well.

― braveclub, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:38 (sixteen years ago) link

I mentioned Doug's illustrations above...

― dan selzer, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:43 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, the new Lee Douglas with the bells on his myspace is just right.

― matt2, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:35 (sixteen years ago) link

sorry i missed that dan, this thread has gotten really unwieldy. i'm just surprised that he works with the best of the best w/r/t motion graphic companies...makes sense why his releases take so long to come out...

― BleepBot, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:58 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, that was some really impressive stuff. Thanks for the link BleepBot.

spoke to Ben at Rong yesterday, he says that "New York Story" is out at the end of the month.

Rong is also releasing a limited edition 12" soon, here's the info:

"So here's a very limited gem for our loyal customers. Only 250 of these are being made and they are only available through mail order direct through us so get on it fast!! Each 12" will be hand painted on the B side, coming in a handsome full plastic belt sleeve to boot.

This very special limited release is to promote the first of our new mix CD series titled, "NON STOP" (#1 is mixed by the Rong Boys - Ben Cook and DJ Spun) which will be coming out soon after, so keep on the look out!

About the Music:

Hailing From the LBC, CA, Mr. Scotty Coats and Wes The Mes are the newest members of our ragtag outfit we would like to introduce to you. The title pretty much says it all, as far as the music's concerned - Mental crunchy punk disco with a bass line that'll rip your hair piece back.

Catalog # Rong dj4
Artist: Scotty Coats and Wes The Mes
A1) Double Fisted - (Hand painted single sided release)
Street date: May 21st"

These should be in all three Amoebas upon release. If you live outside CA, check the Rong website I guess...

hey why doesn't amoeba have "this is rong music"???

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:20 (sixteen years ago) link

btw i dropped by on saturday and bought "klubb kebbab", there were three dudes working the dance section and they all had stocking caps

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:21 (sixteen years ago) link

Claremont 56 was out in Japan last year I think? I thought it was uneven, some wonderful moments and some real snoozers.

― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:30 (sixteen years ago) link

hey why doesn't amoeba have "this is rong music"???

Being in Alabama and, you know, not working there, I can't really speak for Amoeba, but I'm pretty sure the UK/international version of This Is... is out yet and won't be out for another couple of months. The one out there now is on Music Mine, who handle Rong's distribution in Japan.

― Telephone thing, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:35 (sixteen years ago) link

Er, ISN'T out yet. Gah.

― Telephone thing, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:35 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah but amoeba has mad japanese stuff ... but it's nice to hear taht there's a UK/europe version of "this is..." coming out

Did the website say "coming May 2006" or something for like a year?

― matt2, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link

Don't forget to add http://www.planet-e.net

I think that one's been the same since at least 2003 or 2004. Although something tells me the intro was different, although in the same vein, this time around. It's so old that after the intro it says check back and make sure you have Flash 6 installed. The current version is Flash 9.xxx

― matt2, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link

acute records said "new site soon" from 2002 till 2007.

― dan selzer, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link

not that anyone was checking.

― dan selzer, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Not to get shady, but does anyone have a digital version of the first otterman release? The second one blew half of my brain off and I NEED TO TAKE IT OUT.

― BleepBot, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 23:26 (sixteen years ago) link

coming right up

― lfam, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 23:29 (sixteen years ago) link

also i don't think it's shady to share records that only got like two copies pressed

― lfam, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 23:30 (sixteen years ago) link

yep yep, just email me...

speaking of, are they really going to release MOA on CD? It really seems likes it defeats the whole aura they're going for with group and label.

― BleepBot, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 23:33 (sixteen years ago) link

But what if it's a set of twelve 3" CDRs in individually silk-screened sleeves, including a real hair from DJ Harvey's beard?

― Telephone thing, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 00:07 (sixteen years ago) link

...in an edition of ten, selling at £150.

amoeba doesn't have 'this is rong music' because it's japan only, and i don't have a regular connection when it comes to that stuff. i get offered the odd 'hit album with extra track' sort of thing but when i do get offered something special and japan-only, it's usually through one of my regular sources.

that said, we do lots of business with different japanese distros, just not for the electronic section. i need to change that, apparently. :)

if you really want the rong comp, vahid (or anyone else), let me know and i'll see if i can track it down for you. otherwise i'm going to wait for a domestic release (and i'll ask ben cook if there's ever going to be one).
is there any other juicy japan-only disco stuff i should know about?

seconded on the ottoman empire, if possible...i'm also after mp3's of the second 12" as well, since the ones up on oink were recorded at half speed. i'm another dimension at geem@il dot com etc.

and Klubb Kebabb is the shit! for 'Africa' alone!

― BATTAGS, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 06:33 (sixteen years ago) link

is there any other juicy japan-only disco stuff i should know about?

Mule Musiq

― Michael F Gill, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 07:27 (sixteen years ago) link

actually if you would check out the possibility of hooking up the rong comp i'd be much obliged

― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 07:36 (sixteen years ago) link

We get the Mule stuff, it's not Japan-only. We've got the Kuniyuki Takahashi as well as the Optimo mix CD in stock now.

vahid -- i'll check in in the next few days and let you know.

― BATTAGS, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 08:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Speaking of Mule, they've got a second installment in their mix series (after Optimo's [i]Walkabout[i]) coming up soon, mixed by Force of Nature. Should be interesting.

― Telephone thing, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 14:35 (sixteen years ago) link

it would be cool if amoeba carried stuff from music mine

― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 16:49 (sixteen years ago) link

also please get hip to [url=[Removed Illegal Link]

― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 16:54 (sixteen years ago) link

by coincidence, i just got word that we'll be getting both the Mudd and This is Rong Music 2CD at the end of the month, so look for them then...

― BATTAGS, Thursday, 10 May 2007 04:34 (sixteen years ago) link

not exactly disco-ey, but you might like Japanese Synchro System

― the table is the table, Thursday, 10 May 2007 04:42 (sixteen years ago) link

How about that Lindstrom/Prins Thomas essential mix?

-- littlewhiteearbuds, Monday, May 7, 2007 4:24 PM (6 days ago)

pretty amazing! love that new faze action song

― deej, Monday, 14 May 2007 02:01 (sixteen years ago) link

so when should i expect reports of map of africa's lp?

― BleepBot, Monday, 14 May 2007 04:20 (sixteen years ago) link

dunno, but the interesting news i got today is that Garth (of Wicked/Grayhound records fame) has paired up with 'so old-school that most so-called old-school people don't know who he is' James Glass and his fricking amazing record collection to start a new edits label, called Golden Goose.

"GOLDEN GOOSE 1

We thought it high time for a connoisseur's label for disco/rock re-edits.

Golden Goose was born in San Francisco of a shared passion for top notch
dance music.

Spliced and diced for today's dancefloors with the utmost respect for the
originals. You won't find these edits dripping in modern effects or combining
different sources. What you will find is careful, tasteful rearrangement.

No expense will be spared on mastering and pressing so these lost gems can be
played out in all their glory by discerning selectors.

For this first release we offer two songs...

A: STRANGER IN THE CITY
B: MIDNIGHT GIRL

Side A features a 70's rock vocal over a slow balearic funk beat. Urgent
lyrics speak of hard times in a big city.

Side B is an altogether lighter affair. Funky uptempo bass drives a male
vocal expressing a late night disco longing.

Edits by KING & HOUND.

King (James Glass) is a serious collector/DJ of quality dance music
encompassing everything from soul-inflected disco rarities to drugged up
Baldelli cosmic classics.

Hound (Garth) is an internationally renown DJ/producer and owns the Grayhound
label. With almost 50 years collecting between them these fellas have deep
crates... more to follow."

sign me the fuck up.
