BEARDO DISCO (finally fixed for vahid) - not idjuts / lindstrom - harvey, rub'n'tug, map of africa

things we don't know like

what is WHATEVER WE WANT records all about?

who are BOBBIE MARIE, QUIET VILLAGE PROJECT and OTTERMAN EMPIRE? are they also dj harvey + thomas bullock?

also where can one find the FRAGMENTS OF FEAR (mixed w/ blood by quiet village project) cdr?

I've heard Harvey talked about round here but I think the only thing I have of his is a great remix of Extended Family's "Ulysses" from back in the day (er, 1998). On a Jon Carter mix so I had long assumed he made hard-edged tribal house or something. Would his Ministry of Sound mix be the one to get or is that too old to be representative?

anyway it was called Musica Obscura presents Cosmic Disco. I thought the sound quality was maybe a little iffy, though. I didn't buy it.

his current sound is sort of like theo parrish meets joey negro or something. he runs towards the spacier, murkier, more deconstructed end of the disco re-edits spectrum. like an andrew weatherall (circa rehab, mid 90s sabres sound) type take on the idjut boys re-edits sound.

i LOVE the rub'n'tug mix on eskimo. as much or more than the dj naughty mix! it's similar in vibe to the glimmers dj kicks mix, except w/ much more vintage stuff and much less current stuff.

it's also way noisier than you'd expect, in the "noise annoys" sense. the opening track is like full-on tribal drumming a la 23 skiddoo or something. lots of the other tracks are tweaked w/ filters or played too loud into the red (very much like theo parrish does on his live mixes, but w/ more abrasive source material the end result is ... quite bracing!)

anyway to repeat: i LOVE the rub'n'tug mix!

could a mod maybe change the thread title to BEARDO DISCO, especially since i think we are (inevitably, since even so much of the "new" stuff is covers and re-edits, see map of africa) going to swerve into a discussion of vintage beardo disco, sooner or later.

Chromeo mix is like it's polar opposite - anal, neat 80s stuff. Exactly as you think it'd sound. (Although I've only listenen d to it once so far so I may be wrong)

Out of the two I'd say go for the R'n'T first.

Are there any stores in the US that stock this stuff? I know me and everyone I talk to in NY orders from Flexx and Picadilly and the like.

Yeah this sounds like exactly what I was hoping for. I like the way that all these different Eskimo-related comps seem like stars that form different parts of a larger constellation, each distinct and individual but forming part of a larger vision/mission.

With Campfire I'm imagining something like a more a rustic version of the awesome peak in The Glimmers' DJ Mix that goes "Feel Like I Feel" --> "Impi (Dub)" --> "The Groove Machine (Idjut Boys Mix)" --> "Cassette". Is that off-base?

check the ysi thread

not sure if you're talking about the bootlegs or the newer stuff, but I saw the Cosmic Disco boot at Mondo Kim's

some other related but not quite beardo stuff like Lee Douglas (Rong), Padded Cell, Emperor Machine I've found at Turntablelab. I guess that's more like the "idjuts / lindstrom" side of things. I'm not 100% clear on where the line is being drawn here.

The thing I love so much about Cosmic is that it represents a similarly broad taste in music and a sort of meaningful eclecticism that I always try to put into my DJ sets. The ability to play weird new wave records mixed with classic disco, african percussion, italo etc and create this vibe is just so beautiful. Gomma doesn't seem to be hosting the mixes anymore, so I'll YSI one or two.

Lee Douglas starts his new party tonight with Duane from Other Music. Basically, we killed off Alldisco and split saturdays at Capones with past guests/friends. 1 saturday a month will be Jeremy who started Alldisco, one will be Duane and Doug, 1 will Be Dan Balis and Eugene Cho (Dan has house records out and I think plays on the Lee Douglas record, as well as one of the Metro Area 12"s) and I forget who gets the last saturday.

and I'm uploading one of the gomma-hosted mixes to YSI now.

The Emperor Machine - "Aimee Tallulah Is Hypnotised" - just can't stop listening to it.

2 quiet village 12"s. i'm not so hot on these. quiet village is matt from radio slave and joel martin.

2 map of africa 12"s. both of these are great with 'dirty lovin' of the first one being a particular fave. as far as i know, map of africa is thomas bullock and harvey though i heard the second one doesn't feature harvey. 'black skin blue eyed boys' sounds as if a young lemmy is doing the singing

2 bobbie marie 7"s. bobbie marie is thomas and some other guy. the first 7" is a really stoopid punk funk track with lots of farmyard noises. the second one has a great track on it that sounds a bit like suicide jamming with the gun club.

the last releases is by otterman empire and is a re edit thingie with a doors edit on one side and a dire straits on the other!

i keep hearing how hard these are to pick up but they seem to have reasonably good distribution in the uk.

1. Prins Thomas-Goettsching (Full Pupp)
2. Stratus-Looking Glass (Reverso 68 Mix) (Klein)
3. Jungle Wonz-The Jungle
4. Chicken Lips-Sweet Cow (Lindstrom Mix)
5. Greenman-Discotheque (Soul Jazz)
6. Kohib-Truger (Beat Service)
7. Black Dice-Smiling Off (Luomo Mix) (DFA)
8. Sebastian Tellier-La Ritournelle (Jake Bullit Mix) (Lucky Number)

Sad to hear about the Alldisco split, Dan. You guys DJ'ing together was always guaranteed fun.

can someone YSI this?

Also, someone should mashup "Maps" with some José G, somehow, and make us lame indie kids' year.

some of my favorite unexpected things that have popped up on the cosmic mixes from the tiscali site:

jj cale at 45
dave mason - wervin' (with r. wyatt on vocals) (you can dl another track from that lp as my track of the day at the newly minted http://www.dreamchimney.com/tracks/profile/captain it'll be up 'til monday). there's a few other dudes on there that post some great stuff if you don't know.
art of noise - paranoia
papa's got a brand new pigbag at 33

as far as that campfire mix, i guess it's kind of "rad" that they left all their crap mixes and skips and yanking all the volume levels up and down in there, but it's pretty unlistenable to my ears. they play some great stuff, no doubt, but it doesn't have much continuity for home listening. i'm sure it was a different story if you were there and i'm sure those guys could give a fuck...

i much prefer the piles of baldelli and loda mixes currently on my hd (courtesy of the tiscali site, where all the flyers came from). check out baldelli's interview at
http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/LECTURERS.95.0.html too. great stuff.

the capone's saturday schedule now is as follows:

1st saturday: k. life walks + friends - tons of connects in the mid-late 80's miami bass scene. him and a bud did the tape edits on the beat club "security". nowadays he plays sweet disco and club classics.

2nd saturday (tonight) get into somethin' w/doug lee aka lee douglass + duane (negroclash). plus twilite tone and a live performance by black spade this week.

3rd saturday me (jeremy campbell) + guests. this week matt radune.

4th saturday: cabaret featuring escort (dan balis, eugene cho and darius mahgen who have a record coming out on environ). darshan from metro area plays with them this month.

i am listening to the dj loda mix that dan linked to above now. cosmic is definitely the right word!! excellent set...

i play this soundtrack a lot, but i've never seen the film. needless to say, tv volume is real high right now.

i don't know if that's "beardo house", but Carpenter certainly falls within that bumrocksy "LES dollar bin" aesthetic.

I have an Escape From LA UK 12" of drum and bass versions of the theme in my out pile at the minute. It's crap.

im enjoying this guys stuff, "call" particularly

seeing dr dunks tomorrow yay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmFrTyRMi9U

More nu-cosmic disco than beardo but this tune rules...

I saw Dr Dunks close to a year ago exactly! it was one of the best sets I've ever heard, just Eric playing all kinds of shit until 7 AM.

i ended up not going :(

^ this happens to me way too often. i think we need a thread to bump when people get super excited to go see an out-of-town DJ and still somehow neglect to go for whatever reason

sounds like a great thread

we can call it I'M OLD AND CRANKY AND DON'T GO OUT BY MYSELF ANYMORE

i want every dj night to have a boiler-room-style live feed so that i can stay at home and still avoid FOMO

great reissue on golf channel

http://www.juno.co.uk/products/orange-cloud-nine/481814-01/

is this really the only post on ilx about the spike album? this shit is soooo good. seems like it would cross over to the non-beardo/balearic heads pretty well, too.

my buddies in philly made a mix of deep chuggy '70s funk rawk and i thought some of you might dig it: https://soundcloud.com/#universalcave/hongry

also - why is nobody talking about spike?

because they don't know

yr linked is busted

https://soundcloud.com/universalcave/hongry?in=universalcave/sets/mixes-735

i like spike!

There's some posts about the Spike album on this thread, some of them by yourself karl.

It is indeed, the bomb.

ugh i keep making that mistake with souncloud links, thx

lol you know i'm not karl, right?

we were talking about it a little on the beardo balearic canon thread, i just saw the solitary posts above and thought spike deserved justice. i didn't realize that golf channel had put out two spike eps in 2011/2012, with remixes etc

spike is thee shit

wasnt feeling it first time i listened.

maybe i should give it another go

it's definitely rough around the edges and "outsider"-y, i could see how an aversion to ariel pink et al could leave a sour taste in your mouth for this kind of thing

it's that legit 80's outsider shit, though, so no hipster irony to feel guilty about ;)

The Spike is pure gold

Oh hey, I found out when beardo disco was born:

Ad is from 1971.

i want one!

I spend a lot of time in antique and vintage stores, and musical instrument stores. It always amazes when something was made well within my lifetime and yet I've never seen anything like it.

Awesome!

Here's my friend Roger Bong's mix of Hawaiian soul & disco records mostly from the 70's & 80's. I had no idea that Hawaiian soul was indeed a thing before recording this, and I think beardo disco heads will dig it.

http://808mixtapes.tumblr.com/post/80003385318/808-mixtapes-volume-79-mixed-by-roger-bong-14

if you know him you are probably extremely sick of this but roger bong is the best name

been hearing a lot lately about the massive amounts of $$ dudes are starting to drop on hawaiian records, i think it's obviously always been a 'thing' but w/in record collecting circles it's been getting a lot of attention lately

Heh, that's his given name. Yeah, Roger's the best digger of this genre that I know, and this is all he's trying o play... J Rocc was out here in the islands for the a few weeks back and I heard he spent a grip at the Hungry Ear record shop in Kailua. I didn't know it was so hype tho.

idk i've only heard about it from a few people i guess, but there was a little movie featurette on xlr8r that someone shared with me (featuring mr bong) recently, and i guess the psychemagik guys are getting into it (the steve and teresa track "catching a wave" is on the magik sunrise mix/comp)

ok not xlr8r but http://youtu.be/rIGgb5iS0QI

Oh, very cool! Thanks for linking that video. That's my friend / Roger's GF Leimomi digging at the thrift shop. :)

Psychemagik is pretty rad I always like their stuff.

Really nice mix davey.

Trying to think where I know that Mackey Feary Band track from.

the thought of "Lihue" getting a psychemagik edit makes me nervous and excited

"The Real Thang", released by Tony Joe White on Casablanca Records in 1980. Was torn between posting this here or on the balearic beach thread, but I feel like it's got much more of a beardo edge - would be surprised if there haven't already been edits. It's a pretty great album, he manages to fuse his swampy country persona with Disco sheen in a very organic way.

A. Mislayene - El Fen (1976)
