Tele Music + Lime


Various Artists, Le Disco: Tele Music Remixed (DJhistory.com)
Sneak preview of a pretty sick-looking comp. from the new (or at least new to me! hope to see more of this stuff) download section over at DJ History. Top shelf group of remixers (Mudd, Idjut Boys, Ray Mang etc.) having a go at some wild disco from a series of French library records called Disco & Co.

"Tele Music - Baby's Band (LeoZero Edit)"





Lime, Your Love (Prism 1981)
Finally found these for cheap at the Flea, Lime has been on my radar for a while ... especially since hearing the Dimitri From Paris edit of "Agent 406" on the Kings of Disco comp.

Lime - "Your Love (Re-Mix)"



Lime - "You're My Magician"





Lime, Lime II (Prism 1982)
What was it about Montreal anyway? Between these dudes and Gino Soccio, Canada pumped out some HUGE disco cuts.

Lime - "Babe We're Gonna Love Tonight"



Lime - "No Reply"

Hatchback @ Dazzle Ships


Not sure if I can make it out to Heathers tonight, but this looks tasty. "White Diamond" is such a fuckin jam ... I need to get that record.

Asha + Die Zwei

Came up on some sweet disco records this afternoon at the Flea -- Asha Puthli, two from Lime (stay tuned) and some crazy electro from Die Zwei that you can rock at your election-night party.

Asha, L'Indiana (Dash 1979)

Asha - "I'm Gonna Dance"



Asha - "There Is a Party Tonight"




Die Zwei, Grapsch! 12" (Personal 1984)

Die Zwei - "Grapsch! (Communist Party Mix)"



Die Zwei - "Grapsch! (U.S. Mix)"



Also over the weekend caught Kehinde Wiley's solo show that has another week or so left at the Studio Museum in Harlem. Only 10 paintings but worth the trip imo. (So was Saya Wookfalk's No Place (pre)Constructed, a romper-room temple colonized by very highly evolved sock puppets.)


Kehinde Wiley, Rubin Singleton

Gang Gang Dance + Kelpe + Zombie Zombie


Gang Gang Dance, St. Dymphna (Social Registry 2008)
Always kinda liked GGD in theory but never listened much .... that's gonna change with St. Dymphna. This is what I've always wanted them to sound like -- messy-beautiful global rhythm electronix, order meets chaos. Something clicked for me on this one.

Gang Gang Dance - "House Jam"



They also conducted the New York version of Boredoms' 88 Boadrum on 08/08/08, check out this excellent footage from UN:ART:IG:





Kelpe, Extraquarium (DC Recordings 2008)
Vinyl and download only remix record feat. Architeq, the Boats, the Oscillation, and Zombie Zombie ....

Kelpe - "Whirlwound (Stormy Version)"



.... which reminds me I never passed along the crazy vid down below that a friend put me up on a couple months ago. Yeah it's confusing that there's more than one zombie band with a John Carpenter fetish but if you remake The Thing in stop motion with G.I. Joes I'm apt to cut some slack.



Zombie Zombie - "Driving This Road Until Death Sets You Free"

Walkabout


Great 1971 movie by Nicolas Roeg with haunting beautiful music by John Barry ... also uses Stockhausen's Hymnen throughout in some of the amazing collage scenes. Worth watching.

Crystal Stilts + Cause Co-Motion!


Been posting about these guys a lot lately but they're two NYC favorites .... both hitting the West Coast soon after shows at Death By Audio (this Sat.) and Pianos (for CMJ on Oct. 23). And both with new records on Slumberland.

Crystal Stilts - "Shattered Shine"



Cause Co-Motion! - "Which Way Is Up?"
