Short of him turning up in an oversize dog costume, should find out here:

Rex The Dog playing a live set in Brighton on Saturday 17th of September at UNION (the re-launched Zap). Any ILMers care to join me?

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 10:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Did we discover who he is yet?

― Affectian (Affectian), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Someone on this thread is right.
It's not Daniel Miller either. His music (what he actually releases) doesn't sound like Rex anyway.
I thought EVERYONE knew now!
He should still make some more records though - good ones like "I Look Into Mid Air"...

― Debord (Debord), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:27 (eighteen years ago) link

it's jake williams so stop asking!

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:35 (eighteen years ago) link

can a moderator change the title of this thread to "WHO CARES ABOUT REX THE DOG (ideas, NOBODY, ANYMORE)"

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:35 (eighteen years ago) link

'E-Talking' is currently his best remix. That's all.

― BARMS, Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:47 (eighteen years ago) link

or just change the title to JAKE WILLIAMS IS REX THE DOG.

why don't you care anymore, Ronan? is he passé?

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 11:52 (eighteen years ago) link

ronan otm. rex the who (cares)?

of course he's passe jed. do keep up.*

REX THE DOG is...

THE AMAZING RANDY

― Tumililingan (ex machina), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 12:08 (eighteen years ago) link

"'E-Talking' is currently his best remix. That's all."

I don't think it beats the Heartbeats mix overall but that had a better song to work with. The E-Talking mix feels like every Rex teh Dog production to date playing simultaneously!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 12:09 (eighteen years ago) link

if one of the criteria for something to be deemed passé is simply "hasn't released a record since this thread was started" then Rex The Dog is passé, yes!

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 12:30 (eighteen years ago) link

The vocal version of his Depeche Mode remix (Photographic) is amazingly close to the original, in a good way.

― mike h. (mike h.), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 12:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh yeah that one's amazing! Sorry I think that might beat E-Talking.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 13:00 (eighteen years ago) link

oooh, stop sounding like craig from big brother everyone, i was just wondering who rex was and couldn't be fussed reading through the whole thread. my fave rex moment is either the prodigy reworking or that minimix he did with the mel & kim track. and heartbeats too, obv.

― Affectian (Affectian), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 13:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Haha, Craig pwnage.

BTW, don't think I'll make Friday unless you plan on paying half the (large) train fare it'd take. :-(

― BARMS, Tuesday, 26 July 2005 14:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Sh, take it to the other offishal thread (which I'll start up later), but you r 1 0ne b1g LOSER for not comin down! Nah it's ok, just come down to one later in the year, blag the Stevem and them to come too. (hopefully your old hallsmate G Ryan will be regularing it up by then too)

The world needs more Rex the Dog music in 2006. I went to Rex's first Dutch performance here in Amsterdam last Friday, sort of a laptop DJ set. No "Mid Air" but a great track that is probably his remix of "I Don't Care" by Phil Fuldner Presents Superfaktor because it wasn't the original version. Immense record! Also: silly man in shark suit dancing behind Rex the Dog, good idea.

― JoB (JoB), Sunday, 11 December 2005 00:47 (eighteen years ago) link

The set started with "Showing Out", by the way, and ended with "Respectable". A SAW/Rex the Dog remix project should be commenced forthwith!

― JoB (JoB), Sunday, 11 December 2005 00:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah I don't think it would be Moby, not because he's not good enough but because his production style when he is good is v. different.
(Tim Finney)

Here's a tune released by Moby in '94 that Tim has yet to hear I suppose :

so anyway...who is he?

(yesyes i know it's jx, i'm doing a funny)

Mike Jones, obv.

Will trade new Röyksopp remix for new Knife remix, thanx.

― JoB (JoB), Thursday, 23 March 2006 15:55 (eighteen years ago) link

NEW KNIFE REMIX ?!!!

― Paul (scifisoul), Thursday, 23 March 2006 18:57 (eighteen years ago) link

He's doing "Marble House." I don't think it's out yet, though?

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Friday, 24 March 2006 02:32 (eighteen years ago) link

March 10th 2006

Woo, eee! Just putting the finishing touches to our remix of 'Marblehouse' by The Knife. The new album by The Knife 'Silent Shout' is another triumph of synthesizer, melody and words. The Knife are the leaders and if you get one album this year, this is it. (Until we release ours, then you could please get that instead...)

― haitch (haitch), Friday, 24 March 2006 03:21 (eighteen years ago) link

let us consider that last sentence, shall we.

― haitch (haitch), Friday, 24 March 2006 03:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Ooooer! Planning to play "Prototype" peak-time on Saturday . . . wish I cld make it over to Aussie to see him next month, but can't afford it. Emailed the promoter who bought Mayer & Superpitcher over here, but haven't heard back . . .

― etc, Friday, 24 March 2006 04:55 (eighteen years ago) link

269 responses later, and still no confirmation of Rex's identity. maybe this thread had run its course.

― Cameron Octigan (Cameron Octigan), Friday, 24 March 2006 06:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Obviously he is The Residents.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Friday, 24 March 2006 06:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Michael Mayer told he was Rex the Dog.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Friday, 24 March 2006 08:00 (eighteen years ago) link

or alternatively, maybe hes JX

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 24 March 2006 14:29 (eighteen years ago) link

i look into mid air
sometimes i see jx there

― The Lex (The Lex), Friday, 24 March 2006 14:36 (eighteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

In the pub tonight we were discussing the naffest person he could possibly be (if, you know, he wasn't JX). We decided on Tim Booth from James.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 21:06 (eighteen years ago) link

maybe it is paul oakenfold.

― Francisco Monar (fmonar), Thursday, 13 April 2006 00:35 (eighteen years ago) link

it's obviously syd barrett! sheesh. so many clues...

― Mike McG, Thursday, 13 April 2006 02:03 (eighteen years ago) link

it's al sharpton.for sure.

― ssghdgh, Thursday, 13 April 2006 02:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Do people think that Rex The Dog is one of the top 5 British dance producers now?

Ties in with a thread I never started about decline of British dance music/producers, climate change and usurping by Germany etc.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 13 April 2006 09:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Royksopp remix not as bad as people have made out - kinda pretty, actually. Knife remix has not aged well. Mylo remix possibly the best dance song of the decade. Verdict: top 5 today and probably best because I can't think of anyone better.

― BARMS, Thursday, 13 April 2006 09:30 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't know - the two tracks I've heard this year (Italian Skyline and the Royksopp remix) are nice enough but kind of dated-sounding, and not really in the way they're supposed to. Electro-house in general has got so much more layered and multi-textured in the couple of years that Rex The Dog sound kind of quaint and primitive now.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 13 April 2006 09:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Ironic as I can't think of any (non-Japanese) electro tracks that d=sound as dense or multilayered as 'Dog The Pressure'. Tho' quaintness does seem to actually be a part of the appeal. Primitive? Practically everything's retro anyway.
