are disco edits the new electroclash?

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)

wonder if thats joe's pizza in the beginning

Maybe the edits are getting a little pervasive but anything that exposes me to music like I Love You More (Mr K Inst.) - Rene & Angela can be called prog rock for all I care.

I really found vahid's trip hop rant up above amusing considering the amount of space he has spent defending mowax but what the hell.

but i'm DEFENDING big beat here!

big beat ... is cool ... for the same reasons ... that beardo disco is cool!!

Vahid's analogy comes from the beardo thread, equating beardo's mixture of classic rock and disco with big beat's mixture of rock and club music. I haven't been able to put into words why I think it's irrelevant, other then a "there's a difference and I know it when I hear it" as mentioned above.

It may have something to do with Big Beat's whole uk sampledelic sources, where it's like, the Beatles + Coldcut = Chemical Fatboy whatever, whereas beardo is more about the sound of classic rockers playing disco, whether it's the Doors Peace Frog and The Wasp, Chicago's I'm a Man, The Rolling Stones Undercover of the Night era etc.

Lee Douglas! Nice. I love his track and the one edit I have of his.

What is the girl to boy ratio at one of those nights? Is it mainly guys scratching their chins and checking out the jams or is it pure disco fever?

I mean, they seem to flow in at a fairly steady rate and the ones done by prydzstyleremixer/discoman@hotmail.com are almost always shit

but yeah, its all about the girls and the beard scratching.

that means that one boy shows up, and one girl. That's it. 2 people. Can't beat that ratio.

Are you really looking to early evening record listening parties to score?

You're better off with Heather's on thursday nights. The skirt there is unbeatable.

I don't like the direction this thread is going.

I'm showing up at 8 and leaving early, and have no time to pick out records, so it'll be a suprise for you as well as me. Don't let Mike be the only person to show up before 10 pm!

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.
