who was the first greatest unsung DJ of all times?

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 22:27 (seventeen years ago) link

that's what i want to know. mancuso? levan?

― grady (grady), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 22:44 (seventeen years ago) link

they were sung.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 22:45 (seventeen years ago) link

one could argue that harvey is/was to the same extent, too.

― grady (grady), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 22:55 (seventeen years ago) link

and the thread title says "unsung second greatest" not "second greatest unsung." anyway, best sung/unsung dj of all time is an ILM fest i dont want to attend.

― grady (grady), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 22:59 (seventeen years ago) link

count me out also.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

anyway here is the harvey part of this which is short but good. i LOVE that plaid track.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 23:09 (seventeen years ago) link

he helped open a gallery/club in honolulu (that's on oahu) a few years back. its a lovely place with a rooftop garden, art on the walls, and great staff/managment in one of honolulu's oldest neighborhoods.

the question is: how is hawaii otherwise? i'm interested... cuz that sounds all right.

― trees (treesessplode), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 23:55 (seventeen years ago) link

one of honolulu's oldest crack neighborhoods.

― Confounded (Confounded), Thursday, 29 June 2006 09:23 (seventeen years ago) link

haha... yeah, its a bit of a dodgy neighborhood, but this article from a year ago kind of tries and lay out how its going through a regentrification/renewal.

otherwise, hawaii is great. for a city of just over a million people, honolulu has quite a lot to offer... and the countryside, beaches, mountains, rainforests and all that are just a few minutes away. its no new york or london, but it suits me fine so far.

also, the club has a website: www.thirtyninehotel.com.

Thanks for the great E2-E4 story grady..

what else did he play dare i ask? did he play inot the evening at the beach?

My wife and I are planning to goto his hawaiin New Years Party this year , before going back home (to the phillipines) visit.

― Gary Abugan (henry chinaski), Friday, 30 June 2006 01:04 (seventeen years ago) link

i can't recall anything else he played- i'm not really the spotter type. i think i recognized a casino vs. japan track.

phil mison was there too, and they kind of tag-teamed saturday nite at the club and sunday afternoon on the beach. i hadn't heard phil before but really i liked his style. i guess he's famous for chill out stuff but he was playing disco bangers and totally working the party saturday nite. really fun stuff.

that picture up there is the actual sunset in question.

gary, you should def. come. the pictures of the last nye party look like it was a good time.

confounded: so you've been to honolulu's chinatown before?

― grady (grady), Friday, 30 June 2006 01:20 (seventeen years ago) link

one month passes...

There's a (new?) DJ Harvey mix CD for sale at Turntable Lab now- called "Sonic Disco #1," on a label I've never heard of called King Biscuit. Some Googling makes me think it's a Japanese release, or possibly a bootleg. Picked it up anyway, I'll let people know how it turns out.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 17:49 (seventeen years ago) link

for anyone in the area (SoCal, orange county in particular), Harvey is playing at our bar. he's incredible live so if you've never seen him you should. it's a sunglasses at night party and it's gonna be 70s chugga chugga badass music all night. email me for rsvp info if you're interested, as it will definitely be full.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link

when is this?

― Mike Hooter (jaxon), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:00 (seventeen years ago) link

oops, yeah, saturday. this saturday. just happens to be my birthday too.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait, over at Avalon? Dude, you really must not do these things when I'm already booked. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, and where. you're being so vague. i have a friend that might go to this. i won't be in LA until the 11th though

― jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

i wasn't being vague, i said orange county. but anyhow. it's in costa mesa, 820 w. 19th st, the bar is called Avalon. like i said, email me (or have your friend email or whatever), or if you show up early enough i am sure it will be fine (around 9:30-10). the place is tiny, 80 people max capacity.

and ned, you sure have a full calendar!

he's got a website now: http://www.harveysarcasticdisco.com

Sonic Disco is a bootleg of this I believe:

The liner notes are copied from Harv's '96 Ministry of Sound mix CD.

if you want those as mp3s rather than m3u

When is the next sarcastic disco?

― hector (hector), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

That is such a beautiful question.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 23:29 (seventeen years ago) link

You are being an imp today Mr. Raggett.

― hector (hector), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 23:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I love me. :-D

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 23:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah. Pity it's a bootleg, but I regret nothing. Dude should really release more mixes, especially the MoS mix which goes for crazy prices on ebay now...

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 00:36 (seventeen years ago) link

confounded: so you've been to honolulu's chinatown before?

I grew up in Honolulu.

― Confounded (Confounded), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 01:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyone be so kind to share an mp3 of that Sarcastic Disco Harvey mix? Damn things driving me crazy, I need a copy for my travels!

i want to pull that e2-e4 beach sunset trick so bad

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 17:57 (seventeen years ago) link

last night sucked. he played "Go Bang" and then 2-3 hours of fucking boring house music. along the way he managed to either bump the needle or trainwreck at least 20 times. he finished with the Stone's "Emotional Rescue" (which i'd just happened to listen to that day at home), Black Harmony's "Don't Let it Go To Your Hea" from the Hustle! Reggae Disco comp and then i think Slave's "Touch of Love". boring.

where was he at? i was at some wack party in the mission, watching clowns try to hit on my gf.

― HUNTA-V (vahid), Sunday, 12 November 2006 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link

RX Gallery in the loin. really nice space.

― jaxon (jaxon), Sunday, 12 November 2006 21:50 (seventeen years ago) link

he plays there semi-regularly i think. heard him over the summer and remember really liking it though i can't recall much other than hearing the dfa chem bros remix.

ps is there a goettsching / e2e4 thread? google sez no

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Friday, 17 November 2006 05:12 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't think there is.

i did a search once and it turned up a billion "longest song ever" list threads.

― researching ur life (grady), Friday, 17 November 2006 05:17 (seventeen years ago) link

maybe e2e4 is best left in obscurity for the benefit of the world's beach djs

new harvey live mix: https://deejayharvey.bandcamp.com/album/dj-harvey-live-at-rumors

also the RA review mentions this thread: https://www.residentadvisor.net/reviews/24993

― davey, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 11:09 (three years ago) link

That Live At Rumors mix sounded lovely sitting in the sunshine with a gin at the weekend, it's maybe a bit more conventionally "dance music" than I would expect from him though

― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 11:13 (three years ago) link

i think it is conceptually interesting selling mixes on Bandcamp and I kind of hope it becomes more of a thing. I gave up scrolling after a while but it looks like a few thousand poeple went for this.

― stirmonster, Tuesday, 28 April 2020 14:54 (three years ago) link

one year passes...

trainspotting trigger alert... but harv opened a set last weekend in nyc with this and in the moment, after 18 months without stepping foot on a dancefloor or hearing really loud music, it could not have been more right.
