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

mike's a good example of someone who doesn't pay much attention to the cannon. While everyone else is studying djhistory threads and buying bootleg edit comps, he's going to secret record spots, buying nameless records in bulk and playing the ones he likes.

I do that sometimes as well, but like, you have to have the time and money to go digging. The rest of the time someone props something on the internet, you check it out, and you buy the bootleg like all the other suckers.

and how do people rate the newer tirk releases?

DEMON DAYS: An official Planet E Selection - is a quality electronic music club night started in 2004 by acclaimed and influential Detroit-based music producer / DJ / innovator Carl Craig and New York-based DJ Gamall with special artwork provided by Amsterdam-based artist Parra. So far Demon Days events have taken place in New York, Chicago and Detroit. In 2006 the highlight was a special session at New York's PS1 with Berlin's masters of dub Rhythm & Sound. In 2007, Demon Days will be expanding operations with events in San Francisco, Toronto, and Berlin and beyond. The 2007 Demon Days series will kick off with a special NYC party at Studio B in Brooklyn on January 19th. The Demon Days night also acts a showcase for music from Carl's respected independent label Planet E Communications.

unfortunately, it's 33rpm so you can't pitch it down enough for maximum deep vibes

I am enjoying it.

For some reason I never got around to listening to that dj harvey mix and it is AWESOME.

Also, Whatever We Want's website has updated, but still has no info beyond "Prerelease Spring 2007."

did anybody ever ID all the tracks on "gruble"? i only know the easy ones

"we don't care" = ?
"lasagne for 10" = chilly "for your love"
"size doesn't matter" = tina turner "whole lotta love"
"eat the jeans" = ?
"staying noid" = richard ace "staying alive"
"backwards is the best way forward" = gloria gaynor "if you want it"
"satchel on my doorstep" - roxy music "the main thing"
"your wistful sigh" = ?
"love ranger" = ?
"mike's tears" = ?

according to someone at djhistory.com one of them is george duke ("eat them jeans"?), one is the earons, one is bootsy collins ("love ranger"?) and one is invisible man's band. since i've never heard the earons or the invisible man's band i have no idea which ...

i won't be going to carl craig. mom's is in town.

the following night at RX is actually (supposed) to be a disco night, but when i went, it was mostly house

that site's metadata tells us more than what it actually displays.. i hate those sort of deliberately obtuse sites:

meta name="description" content="Whatever we want records, an independent, brooklyn based label for forward thinking artists pushing their craft. vinyl record releases include map of africa, bobbie marie, godsy, quiet village project,otterman empire. future releases by the naturals, and the venice arkestra.

i just grabbed it. i like it, but don't LOVE it. they play some of the songs at their original speed and it sounds wicked weird. especially that Logic System track. i think there's talk upthread about that song not sounding right at 45.

it's weird since the comp is called "slow motion disco" and then there's these few tracks which are not slowed down like they would have been in the clubs the comp is supposedly a tribute to! i guess the elaste 12" with clash is 45 so it can be pitched down to "optimum" tempo.

the vocals on some of these tracks are... yikes...
