Duff's October Mix

2009 The Year of the edit

2009 has been the year that Edits have reigned supreme, every week mail outs from record stores across the country are over flowing with edits of everything from Olivia Newton John, to Abba, Fleetwood Mac, Steveie Wonder.. the list goes on.

The debate over the worth of the edit is contentuious. Do they simply screw with what are already amazing records, does adding 8 bars to the beggining and end of a track make it an edit? Can you polish a turd? Do they devalue the originals (especially if you are selling original rare records)?

Edits are not a new thing, Although Harvey was releasing edits on Balck Cock back in 1997 the very idea of the remix, re-edit goes right back to the beggining of the Disco sound when Tom Moulton, wanting to extend the enjoyment of the records he was hearing created extended mixes. This mantle was lter taken up by producers and DJ's like Larry Levan, Shep Petibone and Walter Gibbons. Like Harvey in 1997 and contempories like Greg wilson, these early edit pioneers took a more hands on approach, physically cutting and sticking loops of tape togetehr to form extneded breaks and intro's or to remove noodly parts of track that may not work so well on the dancefloor.

Edit's are now done using ableton or logic, I hear some edits and simply think why? Why would you bother.. stop taking the piss out of me.. however sometimes I listen to an edit and am blown away... an edit can re-invent a song, can put it in the drivers seat of a runaway train bound straight for the dancfloor, can turn it into a blissful baeleric workout.. whilst the advances in technology have democrasized the process of editing it has also opened the flood gates to a whole heap of poo.



Dreams
Eddie C - Make it Better

Don't be a Cissy

Confessional Time... when I was a kid, well 11 years old I toilet papered Whitney Houston's house on Halloween. True story. I was dressed as Zorro.

Whilst this story hasn't been incorporated in my formidable cannon of comedy for quite sometime it has begun to make a re-appearance at after parties recently mostly due to the storming Whitney comeback that is Million Dollar Bill... and her strange scary eyed appearance on X Factor...

Anyway this post isn't actually about Whitney, but her mamma Mrs Cissy Houston and what with the days getting ever so short I thought I would post this beauty all about what kind of mischief one can get up to in the hours of daylight that still remain!

enjoy

Cissy Houston - It doesn't only happen at Night

Arthur Russell Remix... Download and Dance

A bit of a bumper package today.

Flogging nights to readers aint really what this blog is about though it seems to have taken up a fair amount of "print"? recently. Saying all this I am going to hawk another night to you here, however with a special lil freebie added in for good measure.

Our friends at Electric minds have in their Go Bang project that drops on Monday, put together one of the most exciting albums of the year.

Arthur Russell for those not in the know was something of a disco pioneer, releasing his own tracks, producing for Loose Joints, dating Alan Ginsberg as well as being a classically trained Cellist, he managed to escape his home town roots in deepest darkest Iowa to collaborate with the likes of David Byrne and Nicky Siano

Go Bang features a host of reworks as well as tracks recorded from scratch by artist such as Yam Who, Pocketknife and Faze Action. There is also a host of remixes available from Ilija Rudman, Mark E and Max Essa.

The in-store Album Launch party is on Monday whilst the big bad full-on, rave-up disco-fused, house-orientated, party is on Friday the 27th of November, Tickets can be purchased in advance and there will be a whole host of Djs and artists connected with the album there as well as the mighty Maurice Fulton, Severino from Horse Meat Disco, Lowlifes Bill Brewster and a trio of some of East London's finest Party starters LOOSE, Cosmic Truth and 102EH?.

phew... anyway as promised here is the link to the Ray Burst mix of Get around to it.. something of a banger actually.
