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:

Haven't downloaded the set yet, so no idea of the sound quality, but I remember the day he played as being a particularly good one.

and i totally change my mind on this mix after a few months. first time i listened to it, i didn't get the big deal. but now after listening to a bunch of baldelli and loda mixes, i get this. it's pretty fucking rad.

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
g

duh.

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

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 ..

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):

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)

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

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

jelly of ur harvey xps

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.
