so much love.i am clearly going to have to have another listen to the mans stuff, given that seeing this thread pop up all the time is going to do my fucking head in.
― mark e, Friday, 1 May 2009 20:42 (fourteen years ago) link
got that ghost note just for the mark e side. and it patiently builds to awesomeness. so so good.
i like his take on edits in the interview. like, with hip hop and (esp older) house and tons of other sample-based dance stuff there wasn't really the need to call them edits when you take loops and do your own thing with them. maybe too much of this stuff is referred to as edits than should be. of course "edit" is on everyone's tip of the tongue lately. and there's threads and fights about it everywhere already so i'll just shut up about it now.

in addition to that love the action mix psych mentions, a couple other of his mixes from '07 and thereabouts are rad. resident advisor and beats in space in particular. and peppered with his stuff.
here's that RA podcast

this beats in space may be my fave. the way it goes from funkadelic through this weird, meandering loops thing into the orb remix is pretty wild.

So this is a thread for people who wish they were Theo but aren't nearly as good? Exciting. R&B Drunkie is my jam tho, I also had to pick up the JJ 12" to mix in with it.
― pipecock, Friday, 1 May 2009 22:39 (fourteen years ago) link
i think what i love most about this genre is the bpms could be considered practically downtempo, but the way the tracks are arranged gives them that awesome chugging energy that makes you want to dance, at like 95 bpms (or faster)
― space cowboy (san frandisco), Friday, 1 May 2009 22:40 (fourteen years ago) link
Real question: is this stuff analagous to chopped-and-screwed hip-hop?
― Matos W.K., Friday, 1 May 2009 22:45 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't mean "does it sound like it," more "are there parallels." Seems like it to me. I like this stuff a lot, the little I've heard. And of course the Mark E RA Podcast was tremendous.
― Matos W.K., Friday, 1 May 2009 22:47 (fourteen years ago) link
totally forgot about this dude from LA (from the podcast), anyone have any of his other records, i've heard big things and some sell for $$$ on discogs?

i have been mixing this stuff every other wednesday night at Seattle's Grey Gallery. Last night I started at 91bpm and moved through the Lissvik mix of Fever Ray into some Meanderthals, Rune Lindbaek, Cousin Cole, Revenge edits and more. Highlight of the set for me was going from Sabres of Paradise - Edge 6 into the Pressure Drop mix of Why Can't We Live Together. Set finished at 107bpms with the Revenge edit of One of These Nights.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 1 May 2009 23:15 (fourteen years ago) link
*set also included Reggie Dokes - Black Children of the Ghetto which sounded much better over the PA than it has on my headphones.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 1 May 2009 23:16 (fourteen years ago) link
Reggie Dokes blows all these other guys away. He's possibly my favorite producer at this point.
― pipecock, Friday, 1 May 2009 23:19 (fourteen years ago) link
sounds like a good night. was the crowd into it? and woah has lissvik remixed anything else? xposts
― butter tickle (tricky), Friday, 1 May 2009 23:19 (fourteen years ago) link
yes, the crowd were into it. by 'crowd' i mean my dj partner, my girlfriend, 2 of her friends and the bartender.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 1 May 2009 23:21 (fourteen years ago) link
d lissvik mix of fever ray isnt amazing
― space cowboy (san frandisco), Friday, 1 May 2009 23:25 (fourteen years ago) link
The Red Rack Em mix for Cool in the Pool is great as well, treading the (arguably non-existent) line between this sound and Theo/Moodymann.
― Tim F, Friday, 1 May 2009 23:28 (fourteen years ago) link
what don't you like about it space cowboy?
― The Macallan 18 Year, Friday, 1 May 2009 23:30 (fourteen years ago) link
matos: i think it depends on the artist really. some of the tracks are tripped out chopped up disco edits and some are super-linear slow house.
― butter tickle (tricky), Friday, 1 May 2009 23:34 (fourteen years ago) link
on the cole medina tip, if you can find his karen carpenter mix, get it! it's great
― we were never being butthurt (donna rouge), Friday, 1 May 2009 23:34 (fourteen years ago) link
i dunno, just not that interesting, i like the original more... again it's not BAD it's just not up to expectations (which are really high for d lissvik)

― butter tickle (tricky), Saturday, 2 May 2009 04:05 (fourteen years ago) link
I always think Mark E being from Manchester makes a lot of sense cos his stuff feels so like the Unabombers type of music, in a really huge way. I recommend people here check out Electric Soul 1 and 2 (not heard some of the later CDs.) I don't usually go for downtempo "nu soul" or whatever but those mixes are the more than acceptable face with lots of house/disco stuff too...

Man, I forgot how good "R&B Drunkie" is -- I've been looking for that for ages, too. Thanks!!!

my parents play the fuck out of all this stuff. when i was young and experimenting with cool edit pro dad used to get me to loop his favourite bits from his records. just wish i had a delay and and a filter. could have been 13 year old moodymann.

brotherlovesdub, what time? I play every Wed at Havana, across the street, from 7 to 9 p.m., just playing whatever I want, sit-down radio-DJ style. I should obv. swing by if you're on after 9!
― Matos W.K., Saturday, 2 May 2009 21:17 (fourteen years ago) link
i start at 9 and mix until 10:30, then again after midnight. we're losing the weekly after may and will go to a monthy in june. since i mixed this week, I won't mix again until the week after next. next week is dj struggle and d'jeronimo though, and they play all sorts of incredible deep house ala reggie dokes, prime numbers etc. great dj's.

is it just me or is the world truly lacking good disco edits nowadays? i'm browsing the juno charts/bestsellers and many of them suck. am i looking in a wrong place? but juno used to give me some decent disco jams.
