are disco edits the new electroclash?

'black to the future' has its jams (agent k, charlie dark, capitol a) but has too much filler. ditto on the philly distrust.

stick with the bugz fabric, seiji remixes, and the agent k album 'feed the cat' (total brilliance). and domu is 80% quality jams, 20% throwaways, but when he's on, HE'S ON.

this is pretty decent, I picked it up last week. Word is that Tim Sweeny is behind this one.

and as we've discussed elsewhere, BEARDO DISCO is not merely the new electroclash, it is actually the new TRIP HOP.

1) pastiche factor = "hey look, the best moments of old school rap, WITHOUT THE RAP"

2) uneasy hipsters = "hey, couldn't i just be spinning alice coltrane records instead of major force west??"

ronnie laws + kirk degiorgio, yizzeard??

check for it

why not start a new thread! (and leave this one alone?)

i am serious, the difference in method between the glimmer twins and, say, jon carter or freddy fresh or krafty kuts is a couple of years and a couple of cred pts

xpost it's ok dan i'm thinking out loud and i still like your dj mixes a lot!

xxpost

unless some hipsters wanna go ahead and renovate happy hardcore for me. k thnx bye.

did/do people actually dance to trip hop cause beardo disco seems more amenable to dancing crushing the analogy in the process (as structurally correct as it may be)

anyone know if there are there any reel to reel edits sets floating around the internerd?

does anyone remember the scene from new order's "confusion" video where arthur baker and band bring the reel-to-reel spool to the club? where are the modern freestyle edits?

If you get off the internet, a lot of the best of these edits/boots (i mean the old ones) are really easy to find, still being pressed, and kinda fun to collect. You can get the Big Apple Productions releases, like volume 2, the Latin Rascals one, at stores all over NYC.

I discovered some hot hi-nrg tracks from a vinyl mix called Aerobic Speedballer Mix.

don't pay more then like, a buck for these of course.

yeah i DO mean big beat! but believe it or not i spent 20 minutes this morning trying to remember what it was called ... then i was like "fuck it, i'll call it trip hop". srsly though, you could make the same case about "trip hop" re: delia + gavin.

i like some hi-nrg, but i think what i really like is the slower bpm stuff.

so there should be a beardo cover of "i wonder if i take you home". who should make it? or maybe it's one classic that should be left alone.

i am listening to big apple prod vol 2 now. (after checking out the nutso sigue sigue sputnik mix from the first link which oddly reminded me of the villalobos track on superlongevity 4)

that wasn't even at a nerdy record store. was just at your run of the mill hipster haberdashery

This has been a fun thread to reread.

Was this a joke TOM PETTY - You Got Lucky (Cosmic Instrumental) b/w Don't Come Around Here No More (Synth-drum Dub)?

never heard a version of You Got Lucky but there is definitely a track out there called Don't Dub Around Here No More (Italians-related ... I think it's done by Tiedye under a different name)

it's by västkustska ryggdunkarsällskapet, which is tiedye + sankt goran. if you're actually curious

I made a 'combination' mix with Let Me In by El Perro Del Mar and Don't Dub Around Here. I enjoy listening to it this way. Maybe you will to.

^ this is awesome! good work

Okay, the Cleo & Patra On the Nile EP is really wonderful.

haven't heard an edit i've liked for weeks and weeks now

"african disco power" sort of a nadir in my mind

tornado wallace does stuff that sound like disco edits but aren't

cool, i'm hoping people can prove me wrong on this one

and why is it the nadir?

how funny is it that the only edits i've heard of being released in the past few months is by the starter of this thread

more like a personal nadir - the track title / credentials had me totally excited, and then when i heard it, just total pffffft

the new edits from Personal Nadir are amazing.

Afro Cosmic with a Halloween vibe.

(xxpost) Jaxon - Bim Marx just released our latest 12" this month.

and how are those Simonetti edits? i was underwhelmed by a 12" he put out and have avoided the others since then.
seconding Bim Marx.

are r&b edits the new disco edits?

my friend charles sent me a disco edit that he made - and made an acetate of - in 1979 of Instant Funk and man was he ahead of his time. so cool. everything new is old again.
