Mike Simonetti And Johnny Jewel – Disconet Dilemma
“There’s a nice little story behind this CD: In December 2007, We threw a huge gala on a cold & rainy Friday night in Portland with Chromatics & Glass Candy. Mike came out to spin the party…the after party…and the party after the after party… We spent the next three days recovering, working on a mix, & trying to find a place for Mike to lay his weary head. The damp & grey climate is great if you’re writing Wipers lyrics…but if you left your prescription asthma medicine (Albuterol) in Jersey, you’re pretty much screwed. Day 1 : Mike stays with Me at chez Ruth / Daphne & Ruby (the sister cats) fur all over the apartment causes Mike’s asthma to flair up even worse. Day 2 : We decided to relocate Monsiuer Simonetti to Ida’s Candy Castle / Marlon’s (the stray cat) tiger stripes almost close Mike’s eyes forever. Day 3 : Adam & Natty offer him a warm bed…but Pimp C’s (the cat freed from a shelter on the same day the UGK poet was released from prison) dander just about closes Mike’s windpipe. Then it occurs to us…there’s no cats at the studio, so we spend two days & nights listening to crates of killer cuts from Mike’s library in New Jersey. Starting with around 80 songs and slowly narrowing it down to 10 traxxx that really complimented each other. Step 1: Burn all the records to disc through analog preamps … Step 2 : Edit the traxxx live using 3 cdjs. Step 3: Take the best edits andblend them all together in one long take live to tape. No computers were harmed on the set of this recording.
At Italians Do It Better, we love our computers… But for a mix this dirty, with almost all live drummers, it just felt better doing it by hand. The end result runs the gamut of rock, disco, proto house, boogie, swedish glam, bizarre italo, soul, & some odd things in between. Not to mention the entire mix is slightly pitched down. Most likely due to exhaustion & Mike’s almost comatose state. It just sounded heavier this way.
The weekend came & went, & it was time for Mike to fly home… On our way to the airport, Ida chased a Fed Ex truck down Hawthorne. Just in time for the flight, the Albuterol finally came. Mike took it & all was well. There was so much confusion that weekend, I forgot to label the tape. It got lost in the shuffle. Tours came & went. New records were being made, & we forgot about it. Five months later Mike found a rough mix of it on his ipod & ripped a really lo fi version for the blog. The mix exploded (20,000 downloads & counting), but no one could guess the full tracklist. A couple of months ago we started Perseo & around that time I found the original mix in Portland. Here it is …the way it was meant to be heard. Fully remastered back through tubes.”

Rodion & Hugo Sanchez live @ Solardisco Invasion, Popa Nan 82, vineri 26.11.2010 / facebook event
Rodion, dupa cum singur a marturisit in interviul care prefateaza petrecerea de vineri, a avut cele mai tari experiente din cariera atunci cand a performat pentru grupuri restranse, de 40-50 de persoane, care i-au sorbit fiecare acord din synth si i-au raspuns la fiecare zambet sau grimasa. La randul lui, scotianul Maelstrom si-a dorit sa dea piept cu scena disco bucuresteana inca de dinainte ca cineva sa-l abordeze pentru un booking, tocmai pentru ca auzise de la Logan ca aici fie nu e de joaca, fie e prea de joaca. Showcase-ul de vineri va fi, fara indoiala si pe toata durata lui, o ciocnire. Nu una violenta, mai degraba un “care pe care” intre artisti si public, un clash intre artistii din warmup si after, pe de o parte, si cei din main, pe de alta, intre cei doi artisti din main, dar in primul rand un clash de stiluri in cadrul aceluiasi set, prestatia live semnata Alien Alien

ANBB – I Wish I Was A Mole In The Ground
ANBB – Berghain
Am tot evitat albumul asta pentru ca in general mi-e frica de colaborari intre “mari”. Rezultatele tind sa fie mai mici decat suma partilor. Blixa Bargeld cu Alva Noto, ce poate fi mai trendy, asteptat, promitator decat asta? Un fel de Angelina Jolie si Brad Pitt muzical, ti se face scarba de atata frumusete. Si totusi, cum ar fi chiar sa iasa? E prima oara cand sunt coplesit de rezultatul unei colaborari de genul asta. Oamenii astia se completeaza si se depasesc intr-o uniune care creeaza ceva cu adevarat nou. Un album la care te asezi cuminte la inceput si il asculti pana la sfarsit ca pe un spectacol. Punk meets digital, Einsturzende Neubauten 2010.
