GAMM re-edits, any good?

I've only heard a couple ... they're okay but a little too cocktail-lounge for me .... more of a jazzy broken-beat type thing

I'm talking about the stuff like Red Astaire "Follow Me" which is a jazz xylophone + hard drum loop with Method Man over the top. not sure if that's what you're asking about.

lol I thought you hated that mix

maybe they can customize yours with "HI I LISTEN TO BEPPE LODA TOO" printed on the back!

― dmr, Thursday, 29 March 2007 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link

gamm is EXCELLENT ... but yeah, it's broken beat, so your mileage is going to vary. i wouldn't call it "cocktail" / "loungey" because then people are going to think of combustible edison!!

think mf doom or pete rock type dusty jazz loops but with a dancier sensibility (it's basically post-post-post-acid jazz dance, they even do a pharoah sanders cover!)

and "follow me" is like total destruction on the dancefloor and mega-addictive on the iPod. you must truly hate fun if you don't enjoy this!

― moonship journey to baja, Thursday, 29 March 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

in nyc if broken beat is on, people are generally hanging out drinking, not destroying the dancefloor ... at least in my experience

that's all i meant by cocktail lounge

"follow me" is a cool song but I never felt the need to start collecting GAMM records

― dmr, Thursday, 29 March 2007 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

ahh what do i know, those are prolly peak-time records at Nublu or whatever

I'm just not as into it as other stuff

― dmr, Thursday, 29 March 2007 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I believe all the Tu Rong stuff are Nu Groove reissues

Michael F Gill on Thursday, March 29, 2007 9:49 AM (1 hour ago)

Yeah, but some have new remixes from people like Spun, Brennan Green, Ray Mang Etc. I really like the 33 1/3 Queen release.

The last few Rong releases have gone into some really different territory, like soul/hip hop/downtempo/80's electro sounding stuff. Also, the label art is getting waaaaaaay more hott:

!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like a few of the Gamm releases I've heard. The Tangoterje/Michael Jackson one kind of fits into the disco edit/nu disco/beardo sound, but most of that CD doesn't. dmr is right, its mostly jazzy broken beat cocktail music, but if I have to listen to jazzy broken beat stuff, Gamm is quality. For being grey-erea unnoficcial edits/remixes, they sound great. I think there was a D'Angelo one I really liked, too. But again, not really beardo/nu-disco; maybe in a Henrik Swartz set.

The 2nd newest Gamm release, Beatconductor (aka Beatfanatic aka Discoconductor aka Jazzconductor) "Balearic Boogie" remix of Vengalis' "Let It Happen" comes close. It sounds great on a big system. I've been playing it a lot lately. But again, it kind of falls into that area where you could be listening to 90's big beat/ Zero 7.

no way, i thought it was great. i think i was just joshin on whoever said the mix was totally groundbreaking unheard of. also the design is super sick

― jaxon, Thursday, 29 March 2007 22:49 (seventeen years ago) link

the most recent jj cale is good too

yeah to that...

GLISSANDRO 70

was there not a thread on this somewhere?!?!?

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 March 2007 03:46 (seventeen years ago) link

it's the missing link between QUIET VILLAGE and BLACK DICE

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 March 2007 03:46 (seventeen years ago) link

actually it's not very quiet village at all, i just threw that out there ... how about

missing link between PRINS THOMAS and BLACK DICE

it is *very* black dice

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 March 2007 03:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I am interested...

Awesome record sleeve, as well:

― Telephone thing, Friday, 30 March 2007 04:04 (seventeen years ago) link

was there something about this in the sandbox? it has definitely been talked about, i remember ppl commenting on the cover jacking the generic west end 12" sleeve:

― haitch, Friday, 30 March 2007 04:04 (seventeen years ago) link

haha xpost!

― haitch, Friday, 30 March 2007 04:04 (seventeen years ago) link

lfam started a thread in the sandbox but the title was something vague and i cant find it now.

ive only heard "Analogue Shantytown" but i like it. how is the rest of it?

― g®▲Ðұ, Friday, 30 March 2007 05:49 (seventeen years ago) link

the singing is pretty bad (muppet voices) but once you get past that, it's really nice. it sort of divvies up into tracks 1/2/3 and 4/5. the 2nd half is AWESOME, long-form black-dice-go-disco drum circle + delay experiments.

the first three tracks (opener, "analogue shantytown" and "bolan muppets") are pretty, and sort of hit the arthur russel "another thought" vibe.

it's nice! not mindblowing, but nice!

if they found a collaborator with more of an instinct for DAHNCE they'd be killing it.

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 March 2007 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

So uh "Follow Me" - how did random swedish producer dude get Red and Meth collab in 2007? Or is this some old acapella i should recognize and don't.

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 14:49 (seventeen years ago) link

This song is great btw

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 14:54 (seventeen years ago) link

it's an unofficial remix / bootleg.

― stirmonster, Friday, 30 March 2007 14:54 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah it's some acappella, I don't know which song

Follow Me has been around at least a couple of years, maybe 2004? ... pretty much the most well known/popular gamm track afaik

― dmr, Friday, 30 March 2007 15:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Craig D. from glissandro did a really good beardo type mix (similar tracks to what Michael posited above actually) for the d-i-r-t-y dudes' other blog a while ago (alainfinkelkraut)

― dmr, Friday, 30 March 2007 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

oh ok i'm just totally not up on things...i figured it was new-ish since he's still got it playing on his myspace

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 15:16 (seventeen years ago) link

You all probably knew this, but one of the Glissandro 70 guys is Sandro Perri aka Polmo Polpo aka they guy who did the 21:30 remake of "Kiss Me Again."

― matt2, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:21 (seventeen years ago) link

either Craig D or Sandro lurks and occasionally posts on noize board

― jaxon, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:26 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm kinda torn on that kathy diamond. i really like it, the music's really great and some of the textures are fab, but every once in a while, and maybe it's her voice, i feel like i'm listening to some mid 90s trip hop. kruder or zero 7 type stuff.

jaxon on Thursday, March 29, 2007 12:07 PM (Yesterday)

I don't get this, but it does make me think of the Tynan-electrosoul thread, which is a little :-/

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:43 (seventeen years ago) link

let's just admit (and move on) - a lot of this stuff IS the 00s extension of trip hop / big beat (didn't i beat that dead horse upthread)

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:47 (seventeen years ago) link

BTW it's the acapella from d'angelo ft redman + method man - "left and right"

learn to use google search people

gamm is funny because it's really on the OTHER side of the fence ... they're not so much a DISCO EDIT label, as they are a HIP-HOP EDIT label (aka a BLENDS label) a la AV8 (think CROOKLYN CLAN) ... they're like the euro, upscale, non-gully crooklyn clan (but that's OK)

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:50 (seventeen years ago) link

oh man thats stunningly obvious

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link

my excuse is the new beat was too next level for me to bother recognizing the verses

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link

And that I pretend to listen to voodoo but really just listen to brown sugar

― deej, Friday, 30 March 2007 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

voodoo is SO much better than brown sugar!!

oh man i dunno what half the stuff rub n tug played tonight was, but it was amazing.

― haitch, Friday, 30 March 2007 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

finally got to it, that Johnny Mathis track is hot! While aesthetically it fits beardo it does so because it's good disco, not because of the wtf? factor. If it's beardo it's because disco purists and boring DJs stick to the canon and would likely miss something like this, and regardless of whether the first person to start rocking that track was doing so with a wink or not, it stands on it's own as kitsch-free grade a(or at least b) disco.

― dan selzer, Saturday, 31 March 2007 05:03 (seventeen years ago) link

the glissandro thread is actually on reg-ilx: this band is on constellation but their record cover looks like a west end sleeve and they quote "no ufos"

― lfam, Saturday, 31 March 2007 05:13 (seventeen years ago) link

― lfam, Saturday, 31 March 2007 05:13 (seventeen years ago) link

my conclusion was that the no ufos cover was pretty awesome but that sort of drum-circly talk talk inspired stuff is just not where i'm at

― lfam, Saturday, 31 March 2007 05:15 (seventeen years ago) link

credit where credit is due, jed sent me that Johnny Mathis track.

― jaxon, Saturday, 31 March 2007 09:29 (seventeen years ago) link

holy shit, look how sweet the new lee douglas is going to look:

would that be considered a "reedit" of the virgin sleeves?

I know there's an Escort thread somewhere, but I cant find it. This is on thier myspace blog:

Escort 004 is done -- "All Through The Night". We're really excited about this one. And it's backed with a great -- almost B-more club themed -- remix by The Rapture. Expect it out in early May. It's gonna be the last new Escort for a while--intend to hibernate while we work on the LP. More details as the release date approaches. Although this summer we'll release some great remixes of the first four twelves that we'll be releasing while we finish the LP (Greg Wilson already did a sick re-edit of Starlight and Rub-N-Tug are working on a remix of Karawane.)

Knowing there's a Greg Wilson Re-Edit of "Starlight" is exciting.

― g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 02:03 (seventeen years ago) link

escort are fantastic.

― haitch, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 04:17 (seventeen years ago) link

That Lee Douglas is very exciting and so is the news about Escort.

― matt2, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 04:28 (seventeen years ago) link

lee douglas was bringin' some nice edits on beats in space last week.

― haitch, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 05:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Hot damn! A visit to Lee Douglas's myspace reveals that "New York Story" may be his best yet.

― matt2, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:32 (seventeen years ago) link

cool designs. I guess I fell behind on Rong, I haven't seen hardly any of those new-looking ones that grady posted.

I did download the lee douglas beats in space for my ipod tho!

― dmr, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Doug Lee's a talented illustrator/designer...really good at the sort of faux-airbrush stuff. He did the XLR8R issue dedicated to NY w/ James Murphy and Justine D. on the cover (and Acute Records on the inside) if anyone remembers that.
