You Caught Me Love Dancin'
20 March 2008
Moby - Disco Lies (Jacques Renault Remix)New York's dirty disco secret: the Tuesday night party at 205 is hosted on the regular by Justin Miller (DFA) and Jacques Renault in a dimly lit basement (something us moderate to less than attractive folk consider absolutely essential) with just enough square footage to give it that intimate, low key vibe. It's the perfect environment for dance enthusiasts who want to go somewhere where they can feel comfortable doing a self-shaming interpretive dance to the female vocal version of Loose Joints' "Is It All Over My Face?". At least you'll feel comfortable until the next morning when someone reminds you and your friends what went down. This is all purely hypothetical of course.
"Along with friends at DFA Records, Jacques is pushing the disco conscious sweep into the new dance-punk scene. With his edits, original tracks and collaborative project RUNAWAY he has released music on the internationally acclaimed New York labels, Italians Do It Better, Editions Disco, and Wurst Edits while having EP's slated for Brennan Green's Chinatown, Cosmo Vitelli's I'm A Cliché, and the new internet only label RCRD LBL."Considered one of Paper Magazine's Beautiful People of 2007, it could be for purely aesthetic reasons (calm yourselves, ladies*) or for crafting a gorgeous, haunting edit like this one. "Disco Lies" is a preview single for Moby's forthcoming album on Mute which also features remixes by Dusty Kid, Spencer & Hill and more.
*I am so fighting the urge to make a Les Rhythmes Digitales "Jacques Your Body" reference in this sentence.
