CM: is , right? I mean you might be into it for a year or two. But eventually most people just work out that it's crap. And if you just try to make good music that isn't particularly fashion-led then it stands a chance of lasting; of being as relevant in five years as it is today. I think that has something to do with it. But also, just about every bloody musical style has been regurgitated. There's nothing more to do. Everything has been done. Every connotation of every style has been rinsed out of sight. The amount of re-issues, bootlegs, re-edits and all these people spending their energy on that whereas, back in the day, people would be making new music; not just harking back.

CM: The first music we did was on that tape machine over there: just edits of things. The marketplace decides: if nobody was buying those records, the shops wouldn't have them; they wouldn't be being made. I think it's easy for somebody to be involved in making a record [now]. You can go and find a brilliant, old piece of music and create this new thing with it a lot easier than you can make a record from scratch. And also, it's the fashion of the dance floor as well. The edits that I like are stuff I don't know. And, if I do know: what have they done? Have they made it easier to play? Or have they made it so you can play the original with it: does it set-up the original? One of the things that we were trying to do was to edit records that you couldn't play [as DJs].
Which was the original reason for DJ edits in the first place.
CM: Yeah.
DT: But certain things you just don't need to go near.
CM: The thing I find a bit funny is people editing records that don't need editing. They are absolutely brilliant [in the first place], so why have you put an extra four bars of stiff drums at the front? You've just made it worse. You know, they've put it through Ableton and you can hear the way the machine compresses it to make it fit the time code and it's like, "You've just destroyed a great record; use your ears."
DT: It'll be something else soon because it's reaching epic proportions. But there's a demand for it right now. And there's a hunger for digging out records [to edit]. It's quite amusing how things change, people trying to make all these obscure records [more] danceable.

If not, get the out of here. You just don't understand.

i actually like that article even if i don't agree with it all.
thanks for posting it.
even if in some eyes the edits are inferior, i'm all for exposing kids to this music because at the end of the day it really might lead kids to dig deeper and see what was up before they were sperm. |

| I will admit, it has been nice in that regard. Following the house/tech/LOLBEATS scene these days means you inherently get exposed to that stuff as it's totally VOGUE. |

also, my feeling about editing something that is brilliant in the first place the same feeling i have about sampling. if you are the first person to do with something, you can be as ing lazy as you want to but if you are the second,third, fourth or even the fiftyeigth mother****** to do something with the tune you have to do your own spin on it.
like first time i heard the revenges rework of dennis edwards' "don't look any further", i didn't like it but i later had an appreciation for it because they took a direction that noone has taken with that tune. basically to not focus on it's infamous bassline (that has been sampled and worked so many times) and go for working a groove in the middle of the tune. i still don't think it's anything special but they atleast did something else with the tune. |
