i ended up making a kind of new nu disco mix last year but ended up leaving off 'murphy's law' which idk why i did that. the cosmodelica remix is still so good you guys.
i'm gonna buy a bunch of glitterbox type stuff and inaugurate the arrival of my new pioneer controller and stuff with a little house party in may after everyone's vaccinated.
i didn't see fiorious doing like a sylvester thing but this is pretty hot imo

Does anyone else find it a little weird that Chrissy seemingly disavowed his early '10s footwork persona and fully pivoted to house/disco? I guess it happens in dance music all the time, idk.

i would find it weird to care tbh

Sure, people can do what they want. I know having different aliases for different genres used to be more common, less so in the social media era maybe? I was just surprised to see "Chrissy (house/disco)" on a flyer and was like "wait, isn't that Chrissy Murderbot?"
It's probably my own deal, I should have re-branded at some point but went with a big confusing discography instead.

yeah I’m a total loser about this stuff, like I’m always a little deflated when some cool underground mysterious producer putting out hand stamped 12”s or lofi house cassettes turns out to have made their mark doing om records style future jazz for lobbies in the 90s or whatever lol
― brimstead, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 21:33 (two years ago) link
It makes sense because house is the one true form of dance music. ;)
― DJI, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 22:10 (two years ago) link
I don't think it's that strange - dance music is singles-driven and lives in mixes and sets more than albums, and so a track is always in conversation with the music around it more so than other genres. It makes sense to me that dance music producers - and listeners - have wildly diffuse tastes as the way dance music is meant to be listened to, it encourages the dots to be joined in different ways.
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 22:23 (two years ago) link
i agree with that.
honestly i didn't know chrissy did footwork. i know he does lots of fast rave tracks. t's probably a dumb reason but i never go faster than 130 bpm or so because i start finding it hard to dance to myself. his disco/house stuff came to my attention years 'too late' because i live in a podunk-ass place but i like that they are dynamic, fun tracks with a light touch and usually some kind of vocal hook.
i'm very averse to this situation we're somehow in where every microgenre of party music has walls up guarding it from every other microgenre of party music. i find it a real buzzkill when producers or djs get really into talking about what microgenre they're into now that 'tech house' is suddenly passe or whatever. zzzz, usually another new flavor of boring. i mean the good stuff is sprinkled (very lightly) throughout. ihe folks i want to connect with just know a good or interesting song or track or edit or whatever you want to call it when they hear it / move to it.

anyway that marshall jefferson remix is probably not to some more discerning tastes on this board but it will probably be in my top 10 tracks of the year, an exquisite bawling-on-the-dance-floor barnstormer.

Chrissy did this too and it feels like the kind of project that a few folk round here would have made just as good an attempt at.
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 29 September 2021 23:00 (two years ago) link
wow dang, ijust looking at a project like that makes me feel very tired lmao.
― Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Wednesday, 29 September 2021 23:06 (two years ago) link
That boogie mix sounds pretty ace so far. But only one song from 1980 and nothing after that? I was under the impression boogie was more of an 80s thing.
― recovering internet addict/shitposter (viborg), Thursday, 30 September 2021 17:56 (two years ago) link
Yeah obviously he's gone deep on lots of different genres of dance music, I really enjoyed some of those mixes at the time. I guess it smacked of trend-hopping to me given the prominence of footwork vs house/disco during those years, but that's probably unfair. I know from experience that it can be a natural shift based on what you're hearing, what your friends are making/playing, etc.
― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 30 September 2021 18:18 (two years ago) link
yeah it's true. there's also this huge messy thing of being a white man making music with black roots. it seems like he's been reasonably above-ground about that.
