4th of July weekend plans?

new releases: DESIRE, PREMIER RANG, SOLANGE- all out now (plus bonus Premier Rang mix!)

hello. three new releases available now on Italians Do It Better:

1. Desire- debut cd. This has different artwork and songs/mixes
than the demo. Vinyl coming very soon.

2. Solange 12" - Archival discovery with remix by Bottin on
the b-side.. ltd to 750. no repress.

3. Premier Rang 12"- new discovery from Paris. Some of the
sweetest sounds you may hear this year. ltd to 750. no repress.

3.5. also check out the PURPLE BRAIN 7"/cd we are selling, It
was released by RVNG and we only have 9 copies. it is sold out
from the label apparently.

we are also offering a bundle so you can order all three records
and save a few bucks. AND we are happy to say we lowered
our cd prices to fit the economic crunch we are all in...


to celebrate the new releases, Premier Rang has done a mix
especially for us. It gives you a good idea where they are
coming from musically, since they are so hard to pin down!

Premier Rang Selection

here is some BIM MARKS for you:

Who is Bim Marx? That would be my friend from NYC Duane Harriot
and our own Professor Genius- forming a super hero team of
production sure to be huge in the not so distant future.
You may know Duane as being one third of the now on hiatus
Negroclash crew (along with Dj Lindsay and Prince Language). They
used to throw a killer party at APT back in the day... And of course
you know Jorge (aka Professor Genius released one of the first
IDIB 12"s!) anyway, here is an edit they have given us exclusively.
its killer, so be warned.

Duane also did a KILLER mix for us that you can download:

(maybe we can talk the Professor into a mix sometime soon??)

Mike djing on Diesel Radio

In an attempt to keep content on this blog
because i am going to be away most of the
summer on the road- here is something for you.
I djed on Diesel U radio when i was out in London
last weekend. Towards the end of the radio show
the cd player craps out thus rendering the exclusive
IDIB track unplayable... SO keep that in mind. It
was fun nonetheless. you may recognize one
Rory Philips of Durrrr fame make a guest
appearance as well. as for the mix itself--
blame it on a-a-a-a-a-alcohol...
also check this mix for some cool soon to be
released italians tracks as well as some
goofy Mike edits...
