│release notes.
As time has passed and house and disco have aged there has been a
tendency, as with any form with amazing riches worth celebrating
and preserving, to form a canon. Rules about what can be played and
how to play it have become rigid in a way that they never were
when, in their initial stages, these genres were ways of playing
records rather than recorded styles in their own right. These days,
away from the neo-electro brain-fryers, house can get prissy, with
records being played with -respect' like they're Mylar bagged
museum artefacts. But forget that, because none of it applies to
Rub'n'Tug's Campfire mix which sounds almost implausibly fucked
throughout. It may not be conscious but this mix contains
everything guaranteed to irritate True Believers in Professional
DJing. Recorded live at Campfire, New York City, tracks are played
way in the red, mixes are repeatedly fluffed and there are volume
surges and EQ jumps throughout. If you were aiming to DJ at a club
you wouldn't send a mix like this out as a showcase of your
abilities because it would be in the bin before the third track.
ItÆs a macho display of power, albeit a camp one, and it's
great-energising and exciting.
The mix begins, well, it begins with Rub (or Tug) whispering "time
to make a move, time to make a move" but it really starts with two
minutes of heavy quasi-tribal drumming amped until there's no clear
distinction between the beats, like a quantised Amon Duul I. Then
it's straight into some kaftan wearing Euro-prog from Aphrodite's
Child, the band that was the launching pad for Vangelis and Demis
Roussos. Circular Who guitars meet Sergeant Pepper horns on top of
the type of tom tom heavy undertow that served as a starting point
for disco. After that we get to some early acid house with the
molten steel bassline of Charles B's Adonis produced "Lack of
Love".
"Lady Bug" by Bumblebee Unlimited is now better known for being
featured on Annie's DJ Kicks but Rub'n'Tug play it cutting between
two copies of the record, losing the cutesy dialogue between the
bees and emphasising grinding forward motion piano magic.
Unheralded tracks like Hot Chocolate's "Don't Turn It Off" and the
AC/DC-gone-even-more-homo disco of Flash and the Pan's "Midnight
Man" are played like they're classics. It suits them.
Rub'n'Tug's DJing feels like old Block Party hip hop tapes rather
than contemporary dance DJing, something signposted by the
inclusion of a Bronx Dogs track that mashes up parts from Afrika
Bambaataa's Death Mix semi-bootleg. Hear Cozy Powell's "Dance with
the Devil," a corny, Hendrix biting novelty from the Rainbow and
Whitesnake drummer, get over amped, echoed out, fed back and recut
until it sounds like sweat soaked dancefloor fever was always the
aim. This would be seat of the pants DJing if Rub'n'Tug didn't
sound like they're wearing assless chaps.
Here the extremely hard-to-find 2x12 with separated tracks, enjoy!
NOTE: If someone have the Mixed CD would be nice to rip it as
1 track + .cue coz the released one by JUST have been ripped as
separated tracks.
