im still stumped as to why 99% of these new releases are called "edits".
how are they edits when they have samples, fx, filters, separate drum tracks and so on..... thats saying that every house track ever sampled is an edit. daft punk, maw, todd terry, moodymann and a million others are just edits, ?
same for hip hop... atcq award tour inst...an edit, etc etc.
worked up tracks with samples = not edits at all.
Agreed. Remix is probably a better word for most cases.
I m a little bit bothered by this whole "new disco" thing - a lot of the producers/djs have little to no idea of real disco, and on some of my gigs i have the feeling people dont really see it as "disco" at all - its just an easier variant of house with a phat enough kick and lots of brakes to make the average dancefloor work. Some guys are putting a kickdrum under a disco track, correct the timing in ableton and then sell it as "their track".
Really hate to see when some people label stuff like trus`me or myself (MCDE) as "nu disco" or "edits", just because we might use a sample.
Oh and ..tell me a single record that captured the feeling/idea of "new" disco better Metro Area`s LP.
That was 9 years ago.
word, pretty much no one can fox with Morgan and Darshan's output. But then again i'm not sure Metro Area can really be classed as even "disco" right? The genius of their work is that its far too imaginative to be constrained by a tag like that. take "nerves / proton candy" for example. madness.
the "nudisco" tag does annoy me as do the vast majority of pretty uninspired "edits" that people do, but saying that you can still find some very functional dancefloor tools amongst that mob. like Prince Language.
i like the Tirk boys, obv i am biased, but check emperor machine and all that stuff out.
oh and dan i don't think you are "nudisco" at all and neither is trusme your both on some classic chicago / detroit revivalism steez. nuhouse (i'm joking.)

morgan geist is one of the few cats in the scene who can really make a credible song that crosses over to the mainstream while its still just cool as f***. Talking about Storm Queen here, amazing song.
"Coma Cat" on the other hand, THE "nu-disco" thing this year, i dont know. Feels kinda.. too ibiza for me.
i hear that. its like how funky is to broken beat, take the rhythm template and wash all the complicated bits out for functionality, making it friendly for them orrible compilations like hedcandy. cept funky is actually good.
re: metro, since we're on the subject, i love kelly polar. strings master. and he's able to be pop whilst being edgy as well.
i thought it was cool you got to remix TCoy - Carino, that's a top ten house record of all time for me. hacienda bizness.

See that's my problem with the label of "NuDisco" vs. what I feel really should hold the title of that genre. A LOT of the stuff that's marked as NuDisco is just house music with nothing very disco to it. But then I hear stuff from particular producers and you just know they have the vibe of the side of disco that really influenced house music and they're making music that's mostly a modern version of that. I'd definitely say that people like you and Trus'me keep that vibe going so in my private mind genre of "nudisco" you two fall in there for sure.

i like coma cat regardless of what it may invoke ibiza in some...its good, but not new...musically its all been done... and its not even disco its 80s synth driven more boogie.... go listen to anthony and the camp if you want to hear the song that coma cat rips off. ala bob sinclair world hold on = frankie knuckles whistle song.
i call the mcde stuff , good music... maybe soulful techno. loving that its sample based. its music i like to bump. too many names/genres out there.
btw , whats the lastest.... i need some new mcde in my life, also might be staying in berlin in the summer.
this being the deepest thing trusme has sampled, aside from the mothers day track on the last lp he did.... which was mine..it was supposed to be for another project..i got no credit. thanks bud !
people went goo goo gaa gaa for that tom brown sample track...imo that was boring and had already been flipped.
dig deeper for samples, or if your gonna use a well known sample.... flip that shit.

True that.
As far as people flipping shit one of my faves right now is Go Go Bizkitt! although he's not really on the disco side of things, more of a jackin/French house type vibe. But as far as what you mean about flipping shit, he flips it so crazy.
speaking of flipping shit...I really REALLY hope you're gonna let that Slave edit you did go tomorrow for record day. PLEEEEEASE. haha
thanks... but id rather just send it to you...i dont really want to post on a forum that can be accessed by just anybody, waiting for a green light on a legit vinyl release.
