are disco edits the new electroclash?

uh, hello ben cook / dj spun / idjut boys / rong music etc

Terje, Rong etc, are producing new stuff, and some pretty good new stuff.

Sort of. There is definately a difference, but house did inspire the previous pop style to change into Kwaito.

Why do you fight Vahid? Why?

The 'Delayer' remix is fukin awesome.

Ace edits to feed all your cosmic needs! An essential summer floor-burner, played endlessly by Beppe Loda back in the '80s! TIP!

not relevant to the thread but pitch way up Happy Monday's "Hallelujah" and its even wilder, with nary a trace of helium.

jaxon, mr. gill, et al. more about Tom Petty cosmic please, particularly the b-side (who did it?)

ok, i lied. my mp3 was mislabled. it's really Ugly Edits 7 that i love. GQ's "Lies". god, what a fucking amazing song.

It seems so, over on the DJ History board (aka Beardo Central.)

I have been thinking about something like this for a while, too. "right" would be especially good...

this afternoon i listened to a unnamed DJ's shockingly bad "Think Twice" edit, it simply stretched the best breaks in the song by looping them ten or twelve times and then returned to those passages on occasion to bloat the length from 6 mins to 12+ mins. appalling.

to understand how brilliant TP's "Lies" edit is, track down the original GQ track. Parrish removes all the chaff and distills the best moments of the song into something entirely new.

mine too & probably my favourite track from last year.

Anyway, I know I keep mentioning this, but Big Daddy magazine a few years ago published an amazing 2 part article on the history of cut-n-paste, covering everything from Danny Krivit's old bootleg disco edits, to Latin Rascals/Omar Santana type stuff to Coldcut or whatever. Really good stuff.

Kevin "Boy Wonder" Fluornoy (who we now know as Life) and his apprentice Crash were the Whiz Kids, while their rivals were Albie Nieves and Felix Sama aka The Bladerunners. Everything they touched, they destroyed.

Ask Life about Phil and Bob they next time you cross paths. This is the height of this stuff, and he was not only there for it, but a key player.

yeah, yeah, I've been told, some people have made good ones, whatever that means...

but the rest of the song is great too!

TS: Edits that extend the cool instrumental parts in addition to the fun pop song parts vs Edits that Extend the cool instrumental parts to the exclusion of the fun pop song parts

If anyone is in NYC today, I'm DJ'ing at Savalas tonight with another Miami style DJ (Egg Foo Young of Secret Frequency Crew)

It's totally different to the version of Go bang that you know, but rather than extending the beat-led sections of the 24-24-music version, it takes the snatches of vocals from that and turns it into a pop song. It kind of reminds me of the Velvets (with Mo Tucker singing) and The Eels, bizarrely. It's great.

The B-side is meh.

I want to get the Cowboys and Gangsters one. Has anyone heard that?
