Eulogy to DJ Harvey - unsung second greatest DJ of all times

also his astounding dj mixes - his promo mixes for freshjive and sarcastic clothing were two of my favorite dj mixes of last year, throwing together funk (of the funkadelic variety, think EWF's "power"), heavy boogie rock ("space truckin"), prog rock (rush!!), disco and ambient library music.

whether he's passed or not, i hope someone compiles at least some of the awesome re-edits he put out on his black cock label.

MEET U AT TEH CROSSROADZ

CHECK EMAILS

harvey is the definitely one of the best around , and he's very much alive at least he was last time in detroit a few weeks ago!

I've loads of his mixes and a card carrying member of his sarcastic disco cult :)

his sarcastic mix is here I believe:

whats funny is everyone on djh hate on harvey jokingly too..if you post his name you will most likely get quashed!

the views on some of his threads are in the ten thousands..

he did play quite an amazing set in detroit! has anyone here heard him play?

his "lecture" at the red bull music academy event he took part in is hilarious! you can download it form their site, which i am too drunk to bother looking for right now.

didn't know there was a compiltion ...but here's the discography

http://www.discogs.com/label/Black+Cock+Records

his friend and cohort gerry rooney also is a great dj

That would be amazing. Rub-n-Tug easily the best party DJs in NYC right now. They have that special DJ 6th sense that allows them to know what tune the crowd wants to hear next before the crowd does. Every time I've seen them everyone in the room has been dancing like crazy.

california is amazing i'll have to get down there again!

I asked harvey about moonshadows (?) unfortunately he does'nt play there any more!

did anyone hear his mix for redbull music academy - i think it was called the trainwreck mix.

ciao

duh.

how often does he play hawaii? and what island? i'm going to maui in august

the question is: how is hawaii otherwise? i'm interested... cuz that sounds all right.

otherwise, hawaii is great. for a city of just over a million people, honolulu has quite a lot to offer... and the countryside, beaches, mountains, rainforests and all that are just a few minutes away. its no new york or london, but it suits me fine so far.

also, the club has a website: www.thirtyninehotel.com.

what else did he play dare i ask? did he play inot the evening at the beach?

My wife and I are planning to goto his hawaiin New Years Party this year , before going back home (to the phillipines) visit.

phil mison was there too, and they kind of tag-teamed saturday nite at the club and sunday afternoon on the beach. i hadn't heard phil before but really i liked his style. i guess he's famous for chill out stuff but he was playing disco bangers and totally working the party saturday nite. really fun stuff.

that picture up there is the actual sunset in question.

gary, you should def. come. the pictures of the last nye party look like it was a good time.

confounded: so you've been to honolulu's chinatown before?

and ned, you sure have a full calendar!

I grew up in Honolulu.

http://www.rxgallery.com/

i did a search once and it turned up a billion "longest song ever" list threads.

BULLSHIT WHY NO 'EVERYTHING IS LOVE' ON THAT BLACK COCK COCK?!?!?!?

still, i agree. kinda boring. i ended up at that underground where modeselektor absolutely smashed it. proper sweaty loft party stylee.

ps all the black cock stuff fits neatly on a 2cd, pretty lame that they boiled it down to one ...

he was here a week ago on the same bill as indie rock bands at a party sponsored by spin magazine and DC shoes and my crazy work week prohibited me from going. : (

DJ Harvey interview

and i just found myself a copy of that Close to the Edit Pt.1 CD (a/k/a the Black Cock edits) the other day.

sonic disco 1 (thats the one that starts w/ the beastie boys rite?) is great, love that song w/ david byrne

I wonder if that's the same as his set from Warm Up a couple years ago, listened to it on the PS1 site .... pretty sure that also started w/ the Beastie Boys instrumental ....

tim?

just picked up (via slsk) DJ HARVEY - MOON SHADOW MIX PT ONE and TWO

as borat would say WOW WOW WEE WA!

those sonic disco cds are the same as the PS1 mixes that you could DL from their website

(pretty sure anyway)

tonight RV is on beatsinspace!

So how did he get around flipping over the record when he played e2e4 in full?

it was a cd.

hey deej - http://www.sendspace.com/file/gzt5wl & http://www.sendspace.com/file/e6sjbt

u rule thnx

yes indeedy corncobs, thank you

if some clever mod with nothing better to do wants to change the thread title so people don't think he's dead, that'd be nice. might I suggest panegyric, laudation, or tribute.

ministry of sound cd still my favourite house mix cd ever

yeah that mix rules, he's done so much good stuff

harvey's birthday on 07/24. anyone go to his show at love ?

he also did a radio show that night.

http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=107764072979&h=LCXWE&u=TKkS4&ref=mf

so anyone dig the locussolus ep? I like the slower b-side, which has some sweet guitar playing.

^ya, i'm not huge on the a-side but "little boots" is pretty great. is he officially associated with this new 'international feel' label? because all of their other releases have been excellent so far, including that rocha 12" from last year, the "woman of candy" one-sided thing, and a bunch of upcoming, unreleased stuff too. looks like the guys from quiet village are putting something out on the label- under the pseudonym 'maxxi & zeus'- that sounds like awesome ambient balearica based on the samples. also some edits, including something they did to klaus schulze's "tango-saty"- you can hear most of these on the if soundcloud page

i remember him saying he was frustrated that nobody could get a copy of the releases on whatever we want, so looks like this could just be a widely-distributed version of weww. which sounds great to me.

i've been jamming a bunch of the international feel stuff today. Rocha, Hungry Ghost's Illuminations, Still Going remix of Coyote's Moving are all good.

sonic disco #1-3 are getting a re-release iirc

yea that new rocha single is great, esp the welcome stranger/thomas bullock remix. i'm actually down with most everything i've heard on the label, including the other two mizzell mentioned. "woman of candy" is HUGE

actually, to qualify- the new loccussolus track on the kenji takimi beats in space didn't do much for me. nor did the laughing light of plenty track after it, tbh

saw him last nite

i think he dropped this
http://mp3skyline.com/rid-0x1bac2-house-arrest_-_version-1.0--ha001--mp3-download.html (the 2nd track)

it was some rmx of that song anyway

is it worth driving 700 miles to see him

i think harvey is one of those djs that u never what u were going to get. or i should say you can know what you are going to get but its going to be contextual. i personally prefer his sarcastic parties where he plays for 10 hours and drops everything underneath the sun. in a club setting ive heard him drop house all night with a few italo tracks. it was cool but was nothing like seeing him drop e2-e4 as the sun is coming up in santa cruz.

yeah i'd drive 700 miles to go to a sarcastic party

dope interview

xxpost There's a Cole Medina mix of House Arrest that's pretty good.

it was on the first rub n tug mix. never leaves my record crate
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtN0he6TH38

I want that Linstrom & Prins Thomas remix of Locussolus SO MUCH

anyone see him in SF last weekend? & how was it?

never leaves my record crate

argh you have that. I passed it up when it came out and have never been able to find it.

http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=454721&ev=rb

i obsessed over finding it back in 06 after hearing it on that rub n tug mix

i called every record store in chicago asking if they had the original cause i didn't know about the cole medina edit. then found it the next day while looking for something else.

I know I saw it at least once at Turntablelab but didn't know what it sounded like until later. It's pretty nondescript looking.

Just listening to this DJ Harvey interview - http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?exchange=41

Around 30 mins in. Him on homophobia and sexuality, just hilarious.

He was just on Beats in Space this week, too, talkin about playing in Japan and why he doesn't play in London -

http://www.beatsinspace.net/

I always wondered why he never plays London. Gonna listen and find out. I see it as a personal slur.

It is!

lol at 'we're all dj's here'

Im pretty sure he played at disco bloodbath back when it was still at visions. But he is spot on, a fun party is so rare here to the point that I only really enjoy myself at cafe bloody oto on my own

Didn't get to see him when visions was still a thing. I know he spent a lot of time in the states in order to deal with visa/residency stuff.

a fun party is so rare

so true, there's been nothing for ages that's excited me in these parts.

i went to a few disco bloodbath parties at visions but i never heard abt him playing...

He was just on Beats in Space this week, too, talkin about playing in Japan and why he doesn't play in London

"They know everything I'm involved in over there, you go into a shop in Japan and there's this box, 'RECORDS DJ HARVEY PLAYED LAST WEEK' and another box 'RECORDS DJ HARVEY WILL PLAY NEXT WEEK.'"

i loled so hard at that in front of strangers at the gym

haha. I almost loled at work listening to it just now.

"Well I'd better pick some of these up then!"

pirate radio mix from 1989 -

http://soundcloud.com/r_co/dj-harvey-obsession-fm-pirate

so awesome, thanks for posting

I saw him play after Aeroplane at one of the Rhonda parties last year - it wasn't that great but I would imagine his stuff would go down about 100000000000x better in a smaller setting

i was at that party! so was ilx poster san frandisco.

i snuck backstage and surprised him right before he went on.

sound system at that venue is one of the best i've ever heard, but yeah he's more fun in a more intimate setting

i know ppl are sorta lukewarm on the locussolus album but i for one am willing to rep for it, i think the only seriously bad tracks are that andrew weatherall remix and "throwdown". that 20 min emperor machine remix is really pretty fucking great spacey/beardy disco, it might be the only thing i hadn't heard before but it was well worth the price of admission imo

so is the Soul Clap remix still unreleased aside from showing up on the DJ KiCKS mix?

it's out

whoops wrong soul clap + harvey thing! soz

thanks though, i didnt know about that!

xposts

the main thing I remember from that Rhonda show (other than the place going nuts for the Swiss' "Bubble Bath") was seeing some kid running around dressed up like Hitler

well that and the venue being UNBELIEVABLE

yeah that venue was awesome. insane multi-room VIP area w/ craze shit going on too

harvey always looks like the happiest guy on earth

if i were dj harvey i would be the happiest guy on earth

was record shopping today and saw this (lame camera phone pic)

http://i51.tinypic.com/2luce3b.jpg

first record in the rack was Irene Cara - What A Feelin'

man, tickets for tomorrow sold out in hours.

tomorrow where?

san diego

turns out they didn't i just found out reaaaaally late

i think.... you just gotta go anyway, and get in somehow

i could go naked except for a cowboy hat

they'd have to let me in

maybe gr8080 has a password i can use

I'd go w/ the naked/cowboy hat routine.

Harvey has an appreciation for drag queens tho maybe show up in drag

anyone have an mp3 of the ps1 warmup set from like 06 or 07?

the link upthread is dead.

the '05 one? i can upload to dropbox

Harvey in interview is awesome. I remember thinking how sound he was when mentioning not wanting to play in London because it's full of beardo hipsters waiting for him to play the wrong song and when he mixes acknowledging fucking in such a laid back, off the cuff manner.

fucking up rather

yeah max i guess, the one that starts w/ the beatie boys edit, thanks

just shared with you

thanks for sharing.

http://www.hitnewsonline.com/images/uploads/BarneySharingIsCaringDVD_pv.jpg

'05 warmup set was what made me a harvey superfan. i know the sarcastic disco mix is more influential or w/e but for whatever reason sonic disco 1 was the one where his style clicked for me

want

i've had that "yeahh yeahh yeaaaaah, yeeaaah yeahhh yeahhhhhh" part in sarcastic disco stuck in my head for days. very annoying

don't u know don't u know who did it

essential mix from 98

http://soundcloud.com/r_co/dj-harvey-essential-mix-31-05-1998

and one from 99

http://www.mixesdb.com/db/index.php/1999-12-26_-_Harvey_-_Essential_Mix

can you share the ps-1 mix

the new resident advisor podcast is a triiiiiiip

:D

even with his warning that it's more of a psychedelic freakout dance kind of thing, I still wasn't quite prepared. Definitely wild. Is his "recorded at this gentleman's club with rare vintage equipment" shit for real? Mythbuilding?

take this with a huge grain of salt b/c, yknow, it came from the RA comments, but somebody was saying that they thought there was a 90% chance that "gentlemen's club" meant "harvey's living room". the only reason i even mention something from the RA comments is because of the mild possibility that this person actually knows harvey

ain't nothin wrong with a little harvey mythbuilding, of course

in all fairness, harvey's living room actually is a notorious LA gentleman's club with rare vintage equipment

of course

This coming weekend I'm playing at Terry Richardson's afterparty for his first LA exhibition at Oh Wow gallery.

D:

doing something in London soon too!

get OUT

i have a goddamn google alert set up for "dj harvey" and "london"

so do you have to be on a guest list to get into one of his LA parties, or

Then it's off to Europe. "The management" are cooking up something for London at some point and I can't wait.

photos from the terry richardson party (2nd photo is NSFW, rest are ok):

thoughts on the new Locussolus?

http://soundcloud.com/international-feel/sets/locussolus-berghain-telephone/

"Berghain" is pretty huge I think, especially the part around 5:20 where the low bass synth plays those little riffs. dope.

"Telephone" is just ok.

I take it back, Telephone is cool too in its own way. I like the vocal. For two tracks on the same single they each have a really different feel.

FULL SUPPORT

just saw this

Harvey in interview is awesome. I remember thinking how sound he was when mentioning not wanting to play in London because it's full of beardo hipsters waiting for him to play the wrong song and when he mixes acknowledging fucking in such a laid back, off the cuff manner.

yeah totally, he's got really original opinions about stuff.

we all have our baggage

just took me back to that beats in space, god... insufferable. great dj obv, nonetheless.

he's generally the only good interview subject on BiS ever bcz he's so effusively genial, counteracts Sweeney's hesitancy and giggling

one of the greatest conversationalists i've ever had the pleasure with

His interviews are always great. Even this one is good despite the interviewer being a dreadful human being:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2MKhnaST3I

Harvey's just got such a supreme voice hasn't he?

he's generally the only good interview subject on BiS ever bcz he's so effusively genial, counteracts Sweeney's hesitancy and giggling

he talked for an entire show! also, genial? he just sounded like your standard inferiority complex british dj to me.

He's been on a few times, sometimes talking more than others. The one yr probably thinking of though I rly enjoyed how he got so carried away talking to Tim that he had to change records as they'd become complete beds!

There are so many BiSes where Tim's playing a CD someone's sent in, embrace the variation maaan

the talking in general is awful. apart from pat mahoney, he was funny.

if your radio show sets had a history of showing up as $30 bootleg CDs in Japan you might try and find creative ways to discourage that practice too ;)

your standard inferiority complex british dj

i don't get this at all, but i'm American so

I don't really like the interviews on BIS either but Harvey is one of the better ones

cdr of harvey talking goes for $20 in japan iirc

hahaha

how does this "discussion" get 20 posts and the new locussolus single gets crickets :/

. . .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8E_zMLCRNg

the fact that harvey's new track is called "berghain" scares me a bit!

woah Harvey is playing Coachella -- the cruise

I was sad that I was to lame to go to afrika Bambaata tim Sweeney and breakbeat Lou at the Dekalb market party Sunday but next one is Harvey and Danny Wang.

all those people aren't going to be on the boat that whole time, are they? they're going to be playing at venues in port, right? or at least getting on and off at port?

harvey will probably show up at sunset, naked except for cowboy boots, sunglasses and cowboy hat, riding a magical dolphin through the waves

Fuck cruise ships

otm but imo a cruise ship is better than a huge hot muddy sweaty field filled with shitty tents.

someone book a festival at a resort and I'll be first in line

a winter non-coachella dance festival in palm springs

I was sad that I was to lame to go to afrika Bambaata tim Sweeney and breakbeat Lou at the Dekalb market party Sunday but next one is Harvey and Danny Wang.

whoa really? when is that? I had assumed Dekalb Market as a dance music spot was kaputt after Dog & Pony moved the Chromatics and Maxxi Soundsystem shows to other venues. I went to see Blondes there, it was pretty good.

fuckin' a

***SAVE THE DATE***
SUNDAY AUGUST 12TH
DJ HARVEY & DANIEL WANG
at DEKALB MARKET

Spread the word!!!

never seen either one of those guys

I've seen harvey a few times, first was the basement of Centro Fly. That was a lot of fun.

Danny Wang was a big influence on me. I remember him djing at Open Air once, tiny "techno" club on St. Marks, back when there were "techno" clubs, real dot-com era, and they had all these video screens with animations on them. He played stuff like the 9 minute version of Passion by the Flirts and Zwei by Electric MInd. I still play that stuff a lot. Stuff like that and She Can't Love You by Chemise really sums up an era for me when I was first going out to like every time Morgan and Danny were djing and people were just starting to play italo again.

danny & harvey together sounds like a really fun party

I only made it to Centro Fly once before it closed. I think by the time I moved to NYC it was on its way out.

BIG BIG QUESTION (and sorry if there's already been discussion about it): Which is your favourite of the Black Cock edits?

is No Way Back a Black Cock edit? if so, that one

otm but imo a cruise ship is better than a huge hot muddy sweaty field filled with shitty tents.

lol, I doubt I'd go to Coachella again but due to the fact it's in a desert, sweat evaporates off you near instantly and there's no mud

I haven't heard them all but I like Liftoman

theres both a black cock and ugly edit of no way back

Love is everything

What's wrong with the original No Way Back!

not hipster enuff

hard to call the original my favorite black cock edit. otherwise nothing wrong with it.

i was kidding btw

hold on a minute

HARVEY'S COMING TO THE UK!
http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=17638

:D

errr I'm probably interviewing him later this week (!!!!!!!!) so if ANY ILXor has any q's for the man himself, give me a shout.

ask him "what's the longest Dj set you've ever played"

;]

how does it feel going from fame and adulation to obscurity and scorn?

is it true you mime along to prerecorded dj sets? and that your live show is actually a dude in a harvey mask?

how does it feel being a pioneer of the "all digital" mp3 scene? do you ever feel inadequate compared to vinyl DJs?

Alex Patterson of the orb and mixmaster Morris can dj with their feet, what can you do?

your son called you a fag, did you belt him?

how do you feel about answering questions not devised by your interviewer?

so tired of the, the whole "I'm interviewing (x) anybody have any questions" thing... method of bragging. Who the fuck solicits interview questions?

aw cmon be nice

it was a bit of a brag, but fuck it, its harvey.

holy shit

i'll see you chicken-heads at the club

ask him why he hasn't played the uk for so long, then go off and read ulysses while he answers.

Convince a Harvey sceptic, any mixes I need to listen to?

The Sarcastic Disco volumes, the old mixes he did for Radio 1, Late Night Sessions, his Beats in Space mixes, I've got a few more somewhere but can't remember what they are. All the pre *the NAME the BRAND DJ HARVEY* stuff you'll find much better if you like your mixes straight up selections and straight mixing. After that it's all fancy mixers and tape effects and tripped out crusty vibes.

I think I'm alone in thinking that his RA 300 mix was like the best thing that site has ever done. Such a challenging and engaging mix, lots of weirdo deep noisy tribal stuff mixed and paced masterfully, lots of moments, a proper trip.

his Beats in Space mixes,

NOT HIS LAST ONE.

he's done this week's I think, tho: http://www.beatsinspace.net/playlists/643

not listened yet but perhaps he doesn't talk for 90 minutes this time.

BIS tweeted about it: "Here is last nights BIS w/ DJ Harvey talking about his UK shows, Gary Stewart, Larry Levan, David Mancuso, Drugs, etc: beatsinspace.net/playlists/643" so sounds like an interview

not sure if either of these are the same as the "300" mix mentioned upthread but they're both awesome:

(best of the 90's themed) http://soundcloud.com/r_co/dj-harvey-essential-mix-26-12-1999

(~eclectic~) http://soundcloud.com/r_co/dj-harvey-essential-mix-31-05-1998

Convince a Harvey sceptic, any mixes I need to listen to?

it's not super representative of what he does but I love Mad Dog Chronicles (heavy rock / funk / beardo)

dj harvey: mad dog chronicles soundtrack

not listened yet but perhaps he doesn't talk for 90 minutes this time.

Just 18 minutes at the start.

FIRST BATCH OF TICKETS ARE NOW SOLD OUT
LIMITED ADVANCE TICKETS WILL GO BACK ON SALE AT 9AM THURSDAY 11TH OCTOBER
£18 VIA RESIDENT ADVISOR

why did i procrastinate

bought a copy of the amadeo album for 10 bucks today! :-)

not sure if either of these are the same as the "300" mix mentioned upthread but they're both awesome:

RA 300 was episode 300 of the Resident Advisor RA mix podcast, posted a few months ago; those two are BBC Radio mixes from the 90s, going by the URLs

Had a great chat with him tonight, such an easy/enjoyable person to interview...gives you gold with minimal prodding.

Flopson: Harvey bought the Amadeo record for something like a quarter of a cent in Greece, allegedly, and is glad that he's helped it become a cult classic.

did you ask him about his longest set ever

xp ha! awesome

I knew I forgot something...

gr80 do you know what the very last track on that best of the 1990's essential mix is?

no idea

http://www.discogs.com/Shaboom-Totally/master/110723

http://www.discogs.com/Shaboom-Totally-The-David-Morales-Remixes/release/750740

nice!!!

such an epic track, great end to a great mix

UK PEOPLE: The new issue of Crack can be found in numerous pubs/record shops etc, go grab it and read my interview with Harvey himself. Will post a link to the online version when I can.

If anyone cares, the link to the interview is here:
http://issuu.com/crackmagazine/docs/crack24low-res

I interview Nathan Fake in it as well. Enjoy!

I picked read the interviews the day, nice work. Off-topic but in the Fake one you mention a ILM thread! It was then guessed it must be an ILMer interviewing him.

had a guess list place fall through and now desperate for any London tickets.

PM me if anyone thinks they'll have spares..

will beardo for tickets....

mmmm: do i?!

Bumping this thread as I'm still looking for a spare, It doesn't look like any
will be released on the night either. Doors shut at 2am

There's a few on ebay (at not too extortionate prices yet):

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=harvey+tickets&_sacat=0&_odkw=dj+harvey&_osacat=0&_from=R40

on the guestlist lol

Didn't make it to the end of the show last night but had an absolute blast. He was playing Sapphire by Zombi when I walked in...hearing a record that sonically gorgeous on a soundsystem that good was pretty much orgasmic. He also dropped an insanely long/insanely incredible edit/remix of I'm a Man by Spencer Davis Group (which I think is the I'm a Man/Yeke Yeke single by Clubhouse) which absolutely destroyed the place. Yeah, great stuff, nice'n'housey at the start then went full on disco. The crowd were good too, pretty much everyone seemed to be there because they wanted to be there and not because it was the hottest ticket in town.

Obviously Harvey looked as cool as ever. Shame I wasn't allowed to thank him for giving up his time the other week to do the interview with me.

Any other ILXors there?

somebody on facebook said he closed with Save a Prayer by Duran Duran

Stayed till just after 4, but then tired legs got the better of me. It was amazing...

the soundsystem and venue were perfect for this gig...

Looks as though I might have had the same cynical pessimism followed by regret for Harvey @ Oval Space as I had for the Olympics. Still holding out for a residency at Plastic People or similar.

Interesting that some people hated the sound:

http://www.residentadvisor.net/forum-read.aspx?id=210331

tracer hand and i were also there! he sacked off after a while but i stayed until about 4.30 making dancefloor-friends with strangers.

i thought the sound was good but it definitely depended on where you were in the room - there were a few places of gorgeous clarity, a few places with a bad echo, a few places where it was frankly tinny.

really want to find out what track it was he played at 4.20 or so that seemed to go on forever and was stupid dancing delight.

That was Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

fp'd u for that

I thought the sound was great but it was true there were "dead" spots, and sometimes a tall person would move in behind you and suddenly things would get muffled - it was a weird, morphing, multi-tentacled auditory experience which frankly seemed exactly appropriate

Harvey also used the volume knob, sometimes bringing the overall level down a bit for a good 10-15 minutes before slamming into something big; I thought it was tremendously effective and also made for a more convivial atmosphere in that you actually could chat with ppl from time to time

I stayed to the end. He actually finished with Chilly, For Your Love, but then said thanks and yes, played Save a Prayer.

Anyways, it was awesome, but I wish I'd got there for the start and left a bit earlier. I'm too old for this!

Me too :( I think you made the right call though.. imo it was a sort of moiling, unfocused vibe until around 12:30 or 12:45

How late did it go?

ripoff

heh what's Sleaze?

i don't think 20$ is a ripoff, but i think buying mixes on vinyl is kind of dumb

that's a CD

ohh, lol

is that this? http://www.discogs.com/DJ-Harvey-Sarcastic-Study-Masters-Volume-2/release/4245958

not the sarcastic mix w/ like ... Claudja Barry and ginny

it's both.

the original mix had fake track names

I would not pay $20 for a cdr w no artwork, that's a ripoff

theo only charges $10 for his

$20 for shipping to Canada, $6 for shipping to the US. Seems legit.

live on KCRW tonite, 12am PST

http://www.kcrw.com/music/programs/oc/oc131221dj_harvey

^^ that archived anywhere?

he's been out of the picture for some years now, but this is pertinent and sad news:

http://www.honolulupulse.com/2014/01/chinatown-dance-haven-thirtyninehotel-closes-down/

bummer man

this was a long time coming, but honolulu's chinatown as an "arts district" is pretty much dead. where are people here who go out for the music supposed to go dance now? everything's EDM or top 40 anymore.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXB9q7CPWh8

not sure what thread to put this in but this song is dope. hadn't heard it before. saw some Toronto people posting about it on Facebook, that Harvey played it on Saturday.

that's Escape From New York - "Fire in My Heart"

Album out this summer under the name Wildest Dreams. Apparently Harvey recorded it a few years ago but Smalltown Supersound are just now releasing it. There's a song on soundcloud called Last Ride. Cool song in the vein of Map of Africa.

A modern day equivalent of the L.A. wrecking crew, Wildest Dreams is the brainchild of DJ Harvey as a means to keep his multi-instrumentalist hand in, so to speak. Wildest Dreams make music inspired by the landscape of L.A and it surrounds for your road and acid trip. The self-titled album was recorded over a week a couple years ago and unearthed by Smalltown Supersound. It will be released July 29th.

DJ Harvey is a near mythical character whose musical style cannot simply be filed as eclectic or retrospective; he plays whatever he feels, as he feels it, but always for the crowd. He is an analogue loving DJ that utilizes reel to reel and effects all conjured live while not being afraid to also work new technology in the mix. He's respected and in demand all over the world. Best put by Rolling Stone when included in their "25 DJs That Rule The Earth," "If Keith Richards was a DJ, he'd totally be Harvey. A libertine Englishman turned California surfer dude, Harvey has been rocking dance floors since the 1980s with his ocean-deep collection of rare disco, Pink Floyd-y space rock, off-kilter techno and anything else danceable. Or as Harvey once said, 'You can't understand the blues until you've had your heart broken by a woman. And you can't understand my music until you've had group sex on Ecstasy.'"

Last Ride just sounds like an anonymous '70s deep album cut to me. Not really feeling it that much. It took a while for Map of Africa and Locussolus to grow on me though. Be interested to hear the rest of the record.

Anyone going to his Meltdown show next week?

Not too keen on the new album tbh.

kinda played

eulogy elegy

Interviewed him last night, top bloke.

Apparently the Cirque de Bend thing tonight is a "super gay disco experience". So that'll be fun.

Lyrics to the new record stolen from Bowie and the Tibetan Book of the Dead if he's to be believed.

Also on the fantastic Jolyon and Matthew Green Originals comp

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Originals-Volume-Four/release/1994119

This documentary on Tonka was posted on Youtube last week, featuring a very young Harvey

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyGW88l6q-8

He looked genuinely sad last night when he said "ahh, fuck, I'm 50, who cares what I think any more" lol

wildest dreams sounds pretty hard like he bought another copy of fragile. i'm cool with it, except for "pleasure well", because look, harv, we've all heard "riders on the storm", OK?

when i saw him shortly after he turned 50 he remarked "it's not really the beginning of the end, it's just the end of the beginning"

Fantastic set last night. I'd say 95% of the crowd were over 40.

If you were there and can ID the track he played at about 10pm that had the INCREDIBLE 'I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I loooooove you' chorus then I'll paypal you a quid.

How well did it work in a concert hall setting?

It was in the Spiegeltent rather than Southbank Centre/RFH - really weird atmosphere in that inside the tent it literally felt like 2/3am peak time stuff and the second you stepped outside it was still light. Mildly disorientating.

The "super gay disco experience" extended to a bloke wearing a veil waving flags about for a bit btw.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_Tq0FWtLr8

Cheers - what a record!

Did he play the original as he's played this Vandervolgen edit in the past?

http://www.juno.co.uk/products/takes-one-to-make-one/395344-01/

Yeah, was the edit actually. Just fucking phenomenal.

does someone have a link to the 1xtra mix from '98? I want it!

er surely 1xtra wouldn't have even launched until the '00s?

essential mix iirc

thats what i meant

>> http://www.mixcloud.com/artistsupport/dj-harvey-essential-mix-31-05-1998/

??

haha second track is Vangelis "Let It Happen"

and here I thought that had its big moment in 2007

http://www.soundwall.it/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Baldelli-Harvey.jpg

new album is streaming on NPR

http://www.npr.org/2014/07/20/331353776/first-listen-wildest-dreams-wildest-dreams

loving it so far, not as good as map of africa but way more fun than locussolus

teaser video is amazing but also NSFW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IQ2cfDD3h8

"405" is a fuckin jam

otm, probably my favorite after my first few listens

i quite like the opening track "rollerskates" too. reminds me of some song i can't think of.
some style tips from Harv in T magazine: http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/07/29/dj-harvey-man-of-fashion-on-high-waisted-pants-and-international-hair/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0

"Yeah, I’m just sitting around, waiting for hippies to die.”

https://soundcloud.com/smalltownsupersound/dj-harvey-old-testament/s-fxImS

yes!!

lmao i love that the monkees' theme from HEAD is in this

Seems to have disappeared now (it was a private track anyway).

I did take a shitty 128kbps rip before it vanished though if anyone wants a copy.

(Assume that's ok mods as it's not commercially available anywhere)

quickly before they say no

:-)

hopefully the mix is better than the new album ..

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19067502/DJ%20Harvey%20-%20Old%20Testament.mp3

Rollerskates is about the only one I'm reaaallly into, 405 is ok but kinda silly? idk

Interviewed him again, this time for Thump:
http://thump.vice.com/en_uk/words/dj-harvey-interview-on-touring-the-uk-international-fame-and-his-vices

Anyone catch the UK tour? The Fabric set was a bit...sluggish.

was going to go but they switched to a worse venue & it was ~£25 which seemed v high risk so went to see daniel wang who was super high energy for £7 which seemed like a superior good times economy. apparently the harvey crowd was old but I'm not against that

i like the hyperbolic intro but fyi the venue he was involved with in Honolulu was not on the beach and wasn't a hotel (though it had the word "hotel" in its name) and he didn't run it

His full Boiler Room set from last week (audio):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfgy2lbffho

ah looking forward to checking this out. if any of you happen to be in ibiza i can't recommend the ibiza rocks residency he's doing enough. i had liked his mixes well enough until seeing him live but he did a six-hour set and it was absolutely perfect. didn't recognise a single track except for club tropicana, which i guess he played since the venue was where the video for that was shot.

wtf is going on here http://www.harveysarcasticdisco.com/

wtf

Earlier this year, Skrillex launched his very first studio album by the name “Recess”. The album was released in March 14 2014 with a total of 11 track listings. Since its release, the album has performed quite well in various billboards making its best appearance at number three. The album has received its fair share of criticism as well as praise.

yah wtf

my guess is the domain expired and was snatched up in auction by an opportunistic idiot

(happened to me not long ago)

various billboards

really recommend this mix, harvey playing deep house in 1996.

♫ goin back to the garden ♫

http://www.harveysarcasticdisco.com/

he seems to have got the domain back.

picked up the 'wildest dreams' cd today for pocket money.

definitely hitting the spot better than the stream did back upon its release.

anyone go to xoyo last night in london? thought he was brilliant - best i've seen him maybe. the usual harvey low slung faintly rock inflected stuff and a few classics. laid back's fly away, eighth wonder's i'm not scared, moroder - i wanna rock you, etc.

i might go to another one, he's playing the next three saturdays.

going on the 20th, very excited.

ah if it's as good as saturday you'll have a good time. i had heard bad things about xoyo (i rarely go clubbing in london) but it was fine. was nice to be able to buy craft beer in a club too.

i realise i'm like rolling harvey disciple but... anyone see him in london last night? he was the best i've seen him i think. amazing!

i saw him in miami a couple weeks ago and he was great. he played stop bajon as a peak time track at like 3am and it was perfect

can't quite remember all the tracks but he played this, i think the midnight mike edit that was on ivan smagghe's death disco back in the day, and it went down a treat:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az6Vi56eLTg

nice. he also played tv scene, zanzibar (which he's played almost every time i've seen him,) and estrelar by marcos valle, which may have been an edit, i'm not sure

a very balearic night

This DJ HARVEY Interview has been languishing on a hard drive since 2012... until now https://t.co/LdRvwW04eL via @YouTube

the vibeman cometh

new harvey live mix: https://deejayharvey.bandcamp.com/album/dj-harvey-live-at-rumors

also the RA review mentions this thread: https://www.residentadvisor.net/reviews/24993

That Live At Rumors mix sounded lovely sitting in the sunshine with a gin at the weekend, it's maybe a bit more conventionally "dance music" than I would expect from him though

i think it is conceptually interesting selling mixes on Bandcamp and I kind of hope it becomes more of a thing. I gave up scrolling after a while but it looks like a few thousand poeple went for this.

trainspotting trigger alert... but harv opened a set last weekend in nyc with this and in the moment, after 18 months without stepping foot on a dancefloor or hearing really loud music, it could not have been more right.
