oh yeah, there's a benny banassi remix to Ready 2 Wear floating around too

― modernaire, Friday, 18 March 2005 09:17 (nineteen years ago) link

it's sort of disappointing actually! don't have an mp3 but heard the vinyl a few times.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 18 March 2005 11:01 (nineteen years ago) link

What is this I hear about a paper faces remix to "Ready 2 Wear" by Felix??? The fact that this track exists and I havent heard it yet is killing me on the inside. Someone here has to be on slsk so I can dl this gem.

Shouldn't exactly be difficult to find. It's on the b side of the 12 inch.

Both Jacques and Tim have this knack of making the source material in this case much better than it is. :-)

What has he been up to lately? Anyone know?

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Sunday, 8 May 2005 03:23 (nineteen years ago) link

I love the Paper Faces mixes of "Filthy Gorgeous" and "Ready 2 Wear" if it helps at all, but they're a bit different to his JLC/TWD approach.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Sunday, 8 May 2005 07:51 (nineteen years ago) link

The Paper Faces mix of "Mary" is nice too.

I am going to see Jacques on Friday, hooray!

Did Missy Elliott sample Les Rythmes Digitales on her new single and if not, where does that "Music makes you lose control" sample come from originally?

― JoB (JoB), Sunday, 8 May 2005 11:55 (nineteen years ago) link

What has he been up to lately? Anyone know?

He did a lot of work on the new album by Juliet called Random Order.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Sunday, 8 May 2005 14:49 (nineteen years ago) link

where does that "Music makes you lose control" sample come from originally?

i'm not sure but it also features on the 1990 remixed version of 'Sucker DJ' by Dimples D if not the original of that so my guess is that it comes from a late 70s funk/disco/early rap band.

― $V£N! (blueski), Sunday, 8 May 2005 19:00 (nineteen years ago) link

Apparently there is a song called "Music Makes You Lose Control" by Twin Amp on vol. 8 of the 2 Many DJ's mix CD series. Could anyone verify wether this is indeed it?

― JoB (JoB), Sunday, 8 May 2005 21:01 (nineteen years ago) link

i thought I read somewhere that new order were going to have him remix stuff from the new album because they liked his mix of the gwen stefani song so much. what happened with that?

― kyle (akmonday), Sunday, 8 May 2005 21:13 (nineteen years ago) link

x-post, I've found out that it is not. Kyle, you are aware of SP's production jobs on the NO album? One of them ("Jetstream") is the new single, remixed by Tom Neville and Richard X.

― JoB (JoB), Sunday, 8 May 2005 21:24 (nineteen years ago) link

new order were going to have him remix stuff from the new album because they liked his mix of the gwen stefani song so much

a little ironing there given how the Gwen remix reminded some people a little of Electronic's 'Getting Away With It' (NB: reminding of does not necess. mean they sound alike, and indeed they don't)

― $V£N! (blueski), Sunday, 8 May 2005 21:39 (nineteen years ago) link

haha, I didn't realize until JUST NOW that Stuart Price and Jacques Lu Cont were the same person!

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 18:18 (nineteen years ago) link

there's also a jlc remix of jetstream too, right?

― jermaine (jnoble), Friday, 13 May 2005 14:19 (nineteen years ago) link

one month passes...

yeah, and I listened to it a LOT for a week. tasty.

his remixes (remix, dub, edit) of missy's "lose control" have leaked . . .

― locus solus, Saturday, 25 June 2005 16:49 (eighteen years ago) link

YSI!!!

check the YSI/gmail request thread!

His "Lose Control" remix totally apes his remix of the Faint! Not that it is a bad thing....

There's also a new Juliet remix...

― JoB (JoB), Saturday, 25 June 2005 17:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Does anyone know if there will ever be another Les Rythmes Digitales akbum?.

― That One Guy (That One Guy), Saturday, 25 June 2005 17:29 (eighteen years ago) link

His "Mr Brightside" remix is my single favorite moment this year.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Saturday, 25 June 2005 20:38 (eighteen years ago) link

"Jacques Your Body" is getting a rerelease with new mixes due to the Citroën ad, but no sign of a new LRD record and I wouldn't bet on any new stuff - he hasn't used the moniker in five years, not even for remixes.

BTW: spoof of the dancing robot ad

― Siegbran (eofor), Sunday, 26 June 2005 16:17 (eighteen years ago) link

That Missy remix is a thing of joy and beauty. Manages the rare feat of improving on a near perfect work.

does anybody know where to get hold of his remix of missy elliotts lose control, heard it on zane lowe last night and it was absolutely mind-blowing!

― Andy Lambert, Tuesday, 19 July 2005 13:19 (eighteen years ago) link

that's what this thread is for This is the NEW (third) thread for requesting and offering songs via YSI/Gmail/Etc.

― W i l l (common_person), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 13:26 (eighteen years ago) link

uh, this is the 80s revival guy from 'bout 1998, yeah? even then i think i said 'daft punk knock-off'. and somehow his lp is now knocking around the front racks at fopp. wtf?

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 19 July 2005 13:33 (eighteen years ago) link

you were a real prodigy!!

"WHAT YEAR IS THIS????? WHO IS PRESIDENT????? WHY IS JACQUES LU CONT POPULAR NOW? REMIXES YOU SAY??? 300 OF THEM YOU SAY???? BECOMING SUPERSTAR DJ YOU SAY????"

― Enrique, naked in an unfamiliar future where corporations run the world (Ronan), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 13:40 (eighteen years ago) link

people still do remixes? quaint.

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 19 July 2005 13:43 (eighteen years ago) link

his prolificness/quantity-quality ratio is impressive but the only case of me preferring his remix to the original lately has been 'Mr Brightside' - tho I haven't heard the original mix of Juliet's 'Avalon' I don't think (I watched the video on a website but the music was identical to the JLC mix so I assume they used that mix for airplay generally?).

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 13:47 (eighteen years ago) link

his remix of missy is in the top 5 worst things i've heard this year.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 13:57 (eighteen years ago) link

haha! I think it's probably quite good, if it's the track I think it is, but I've only heard it out.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 13:59 (eighteen years ago) link

give me 5 minutes and i'll yousendit.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 14:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I have it downloading already but I'm sure others want to hear it

the vocal version is fucking awful, on first listen. the dub must be the one erol and co are playing.

(2 mins later, after toast)the vocal version is actually absolutely dire, it's still playing here, the missy vocal just sounds so so wrong. so I'll see what the dub is like in a few minutes.

(i typed this bit earlier) on a more general level jacques dj sets are really a travesty by now, the guy hasn't bought or even listened to a new record since making the fabric mix.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 14:05 (eighteen years ago) link

it's the vocal mix. the first minute is ok but when the vocal comes in he just slaughters it. anyway, here it is - http://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1F4R0Y069EKKO1E9J1VGNPO53X

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 14:10 (eighteen years ago) link

wasn't he the first one to start the whole 80's synth revival thing back in '99? I remember the same people who are now into all things synthesized laughing at "Hey you, what's thats sound?" and his red acid-washed jeans. No one seemed to take his music seriously, but I'm glad to see that's changed.

-- kevin says relax (surl... ), February 13th, 2005.

er right, so some hipsters now like it so what *was* yawnsome and decadent is now a-ok. his horrible jeans are still horribly 80s.

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 19 July 2005 14:28 (eighteen years ago) link

oh fuck off, you didn't even know the guy was still producing until 5 minutes ago and now we're supposed to accept that you have any idea about what electronic revivals are yawnsome and decadent and what aren't.

honestly "decadent"! jacques lu cont and his cronies are making the streets of Great Britain a far more dangerous place. Why just last week I saw a gang of tracksuited youths making fun of war veterans while playing Avenue D.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 14:33 (eighteen years ago) link

calm down, ro, the reasoni paid no mind to him till 5 mins ago is because i thought lrd was boring when i first heard it a very long time ago. it felt decadent *then*, fuck knows how it sounds now. if i find something yawnsome it's entirely a matter for me, i need no credentials there. so 'we' don't have to 'accept' anything, but then 'i' don't need to 'accept' that an electro revival (4th? 5th) is what the world needs either.

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 19 July 2005 14:40 (eighteen years ago) link

The day ILM gets intolerant of arguments made in total ignorance is the day it dies.

I have been loving the JLC mixes I've heard, including the Missy one, it's not as if the vocal line on "Lose Control" was particularly stunning anyway.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 14:41 (eighteen years ago) link

I would just like a new LRD single I think. He really loved being/acting a pop star at one point.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 14:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh I am calm, I didn't mean fuck off in a furious way, you are indie to the core though nr_q.

I like the dub alot better than the vocal version, the music is very similar to some of the other mixes but it's still good.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 14:44 (eighteen years ago) link

LRD is dance for indie kids!!!! How do you think I heard of it in the first place!?!

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 19 July 2005 14:45 (eighteen years ago) link

I meant the "decadent" stuff etc.
