Beards of a Feather @ Laszlo, Thursday, July 30 9-2

And in order to prepare you for our party I’ve decided to share some tracks that are guaranteed to send your night spiraling off into another dimension of cosmic reality. First up is a new rework by The Revenge of Atmosfear’s jazzy disco classic “Dancing In Outer Space” off of the first release from Wolf Music Recordings out of the UK. The release features some of the best funky deep house I’ve heard in a while and introduces us to KRL, whose track “Recession Beat” is a heavy slo-mo mover that funks.  It also features a couple clean edits from Greymatter. But today I want you to hear this deep, deep pounder that warps a clip of the original into journey through an interstellar quilt of lights and music. It’s much more than a rework and I can’t wait to hear this on a real system.

Check the video for “Recession Beat” too, it’s a rad rework of some classic disco footage.

Next we have a track that is one of the biggest tracks off of DFA right now and of course it features one of our favorites, the impeccable Todd Terje. Seriously, how does this guy keep doing it? I don’t think he’s human. I think he’s some norse god incarnated in the form of a dance warrior of time sent to crush our inhibitions and bend our bodies into little dance puppets of his will. Enjoy this and find it and come next Thursday, we will make you dance.

The Disco Revenge

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

A couple months ago, the beardo thread on ILM turned me onto The Revenge (Scottish edit specialist Graeme Clark) with his incredible edit of Hot Chocolate’s “Cadillac” (which was perhaps my favorite edit of 2008) on Jiscomusic – the label that has released Mark E’s most spectacular works “Smiling” and “Scared”. Having successfully caught my attention I pursued other works by him and another project of his the 6th Borough Project (Clarke and Craig Smith, also a UK resident). So this post will introduce you to their latest works.

First up is a track off of the 6th Borough Project’s Part One 12″ on Instruments of Rapture. The three edits on this record are all funky disco house jams, including a dub by The Revenge. Driven by house beats, swollen with disco samples, and given enough reverb, echo and delay effects to smooth the transitions, these are some of the finest edits I have heard in a while. Super soulful funky jams that work well on lazy afternoons or early in the night to get the dancefloor started, think stoned french house. From Part One, I’ve chosen to share the first track “Hang On”. I don’t know the sample on this, but 6thBP takes it and works it well over for more than seven blissful minutes of warm funky goodness, enjoy!
Next we have The Revenge’s latest work from his Jiscomusic release. More powerful and overt in their energy, these edits come at you like his edit of “Cadillac”. Especially “Savin’ The Day”, which is an edit of Alessi’s track of the same name from Ghostbusters! I remember liking the track from when I watched the movie years ago, but The Revenge reinvents it into a dark dubby dance monster. Looped to perfection, this track finds more and more energy as it chugs along. This is a floor filler for sure!
