Mike Simonetti edit 12"s available for order

Photobucket
Photobucket

hello we managed to grab a few copies of Mike's new edit 12"
entitled "I Love It When A Plan Comes Together: AKA Mike 001".
It was released by a mysterious stranger overseas who offered
to release a few of Mike's edits. He agreed, as long as he could
make it A-Team themed, of course! Only 300 were pressed and
it sold out in a day. So yea dont sleep! Mike 002 is coming soon!
We are not putting it up in the store because we dont have that
many. they cost $11 ppd in the USA , $15 Canada/Mexico and
$20 everywhere else.

We also have a tiny amount of the newest Pilooski edit 12" on
RVNG. This is all sold out from the source as well. These are $14
USA, $17 Canada and $22 world.

so if want either of these, email mike at troublemanunlimited dot
com for order info. be sure to mention where you live.

FEELING WITHOUT TOUCHING

we are excited to announce that glass candy just finished
the 12" version of "FEELING WITHOUT TOUCHING".
we are releasing it as a 12" maxi single.
our first record of 2010.
it's being mastered right now! we should have the vinyl in about
a month and a half vinyl features full color two sided insert and
lyric sheet. glass candy's first official video is finished too.
directed by travis peterson in l.a. (he also shot amazing videos
for nite jewel, geneva jacuzzi & areil pink) shot the night before
they slaughtered coachella last year. we'll post it as soon as it gets
out of production. here's the track list for the 12" (26 minutes of
unreleased musick) :

Side One
FEELING WITHOUT TOUCHING (Video Mixx)
SUGAR & WHITEBREAD (2010)
COVERED IN BUGS (2010)
Side Two
SHINE LIKE GOLD & DIAMONDS (2010)
SUGAR & WHITEBREAD (Instrumental)
FEELING WITHOUT TOUCHING (Instrumental)

rumor has it that they are throwing a bonus mystery track on the
b side... also... the new farah "GAY BOY" 12" is done.
recorded in november of 2008, and mixed last week in montreal.
probably the strangest record we have ever heard. we've been
scratching our heads for over a year trying to figure out what to
do with this one. a cult classic for sure. imagine ll cool j's "i need
love" & the shangri las "leader of the pack" through the eyes of a
valley girl on lithium. an out take from the new farah lp "INTO
ETERNITY" suite 304 studio sessions. her debut full length lp on
the way this spring. desire just added another installment to their
ongoing tour photo blog.

  • Desire Blog

  • in other news...the two year chromatics hiatus is over.
    rumors of break-ups etc...are all false.
    johnny, ruth, adam, and natty have been back in the studio
    working on a new 2 x lp. keep your fingers crossed...it
    might be out in time for autumn! their darkest work yet.
    maybe we can talk them into touring again.
    according to mr. jewel, it covers 13 years of music written
    between 1996 & 2009. touching on everything from the velvet
    underground to kristopher komeda to gate. and for everyone
    wanting "NIGHT DRIVE" on vinyl... good news... we should finally
    have it this summer. the album as we know it was originally a
    tour demo. we never expected it to blow up so fast, and they
    never got the chance to properly mix or master it. the new vinyl
    version is going to be a double lp with four unreleased bonus tracks!!!
    we are pleaed to announce that the new italians do it better label
    sampler is almost done. "INTO THE BLACK" (aka after dark pt. 2)
    features new & exclusive tracks from desire, glass candy, chromatics,
    mirage, farah, bottin, twisted wires, appaloosa... three years in the
    making. it's going to be epic!!!

    new mix by MIKE SIMONETTI

    Photobucket
    hello. Mike found some time to do a new mix. Its
    called BACK TO AFRICA and it was done for Cosmic
    Disco website, one of our favorite sites. This was
    made with old 45s and lps and even a few 12"s
    thrown in.
    You may remember the AFRICAN CONNECTION mix.
    It is all African music (obv). This is part 2 of the mix.
    Part 1 is still floating around the world wide web if you
    use the Google. Anyway enjoy this mix. Try to find
    these tracks! Enjoy these insane Afro cosmic sounds...

    New mix from Anton Qlint (Tiedye)

    Photobucket
    Happy New Year. Sorry we've been out of touch.
    We were busy gearing up for 2010, working,
    sleeping, eating, buying records, making music,
    playing with our kids, etc. 2010 is going to be
    insane for Italians. expect tons of surprises on
    every front, tons of live gigs and some great
    news in the close future! Yes very cryptic for
    now but it will all fall into place soon enough.

    ANYWAY, here is our first mix to start off 2010
    and its from our good friends and comrade
    Anton Qlint from Tiedye all the way from Gburg
    Sweden, one of my favorite places as you know!
    Good luck with this one, its full of Scandanavian
    rock that you will never be able to find!

    Here are your New Years Eve plans:

    Photobucket

    hello:
    here are the New Years Eve plans you asked about.

    If you live in San Francisco there is the IDIB NYE party
    at the Rickshaw with Glass Candy and Desire. Get
    your tickets early as it will sell out (if it hasnt already)

    if you are in NYC Mike Simonetti will be playing his
    annual NYE gig at Rubulad in Brooklyn from 10:30-
    2:30 am. His set will be four hours, so get there
    early to get the full effect. But seriously, it will a be
    super great time on either coast. Rubulad is at a
    secret location so hit me up for details on Myspace
    or Twitter...

    new mix from STEELE BONUS

    Photobucket
    Steele is one of the best djs in Australia possibly. We share
    a lot of the same theories on music and djs and all that stuff.
    Plus he clued me in on some tracks i never heard of, AND we
    hung out at this record store with a wannabe comedian record
    clerk... Pretty insane stuff. Anyway, we played together last
    year on my first trip out there (or at least thats what they tell me).
    Last time i was out there we hung out which was excellent. If
    it wasnt for him i would have been stranded in Sydney for like
    6 days all alone. so big props to Steele for real. This mix is
    great- one of my favorites of this year methinks. Its all over
    the place, just how i like it. enjoy the last mix of 2k9!

    new mix from Simon/Baggy (Cosmic Disco)

    Photobucket
    Last time i was in Manchester Simon took me
    record shopping to this awesome shop called
    Endless Music in Prestwich. The owners were
    really nice as well, which is rare... most record
    store guys are surly and unhappy with themselves.
    But this place yeilded many many returns in the
    form of super rare records. i mean SUPER rare,
    and very cheap! Ive been record shopping many
    times in my life but this was one of the best
    trips i've had in a while.. as a matter of fact,
    the next day i went shopping and got even
    more killer stuff in Manchester. So yea,
    Manchester is great for record shopping...
    ANYWAY, I told Simon he should do a mix for
    the IDIB blog with all the records he got in
    Manchester.

    DESIRE "If I Cant Hold You Tonight" 12" - OUT NOW!

    Photobucket
    Now available for mailorder is the new Desire "If I Cant
    Hold You Tonight" 12". You may recognize the song from the
    Desire cd, but the song was re-done and extended to
    almost 9 minutes. Also included is a more stripped down
    version, acapella version and the original demo version
    from the cd. The new version is deeper, heavier, and
    crisper- perfect for the dancefloor or your headphones.
    This is our last release of the year, and quite possibly
    the best, so go out with a bang!

    Also we are running very low on some old back catalog
    titles, and we wont be repressing them, so grab them
    before they disappear!

    i am posting that i will be djig on Beats In Space
    tomorrow. i hear its a pretty cool radio show.
    you should check it out. I'll be playing mostly
    weird left-field dance music tomorrow revolving
    around post punk/synth and artsy fartsy dance
    music.

    the reason we have been so slow to update is
    due to constant traveling/touring. Look out
    for a new 12" in a few days added to the store,
    as well as some other stuff like more shirts.
    keep an eye out for glass candy/desire on tour
    of europe in the upcoming months. Ill be
    joining in for the fun on the weekends as i
    have to hold it down at home during the week.

    OUT NOW ::: NITE JEWEL new 12" / GLASS CANDY shirts & totes

    Photobucket
    Photobucket
    Photobucket
    Hello from windy Melbourne. As promised we have
    available a brand new NITE JEWEL 12" (with a beautiful
    full color cover) and some more Glass Candy tour leftovers.
    These are from earlier in the year, specifically the Euro
    tour they embarked upon. When i saw these designs i
    knew they would be a hit. They went over so well we
    made a few extras for the people who couldnt make it
    to the gigs. Check the store for these awesome titles.

    As usual we have a very small number of these shirts
    and totes! In other news, the GETO BOYS t-shirts are
    almost all gone. When last checked we were down to
    4 of each size. As far as shirts are concerned, the "12"
    shirts are some of my favorites.

    A few have asked about the measurements of the size
    YOUTH LARGE (aka: X SMALL) shirts. The youth large
    shirts arent super small. American Apparel shirts run
    a little big and many traditional SMALLS like the size
    youth large for a better fit. We are sold out of most of our
    shirts but we have some youth large left in a few designs.
    That is the only way you will be able to get these shirts,
    as we will not be making more of them. We also lowered
    the price on the youth large shirts!

    FInally, all orders received after August 18th will ship
    on or about September 1st. The Italians interns are all
    starting school then, and i'm in Australia, and Ian is on tour
    with his band, and Andrew is listening to the new M.O.P.
    (which apparently isnt too good according to him)- so
    please be patient! Thanks, as always!

    Mike Simonetti Australian tour promo mix

    Photobucket
    hello. here is a mix i did for Australian radio Triple J.
    It aired a few weeks ago and i am curious how it went
    over since it is not your typical techno/electro fare.
    Plus it was done in one take due to time constraints...
    This mix was made entirely of Disconet 12"s. Every
    track was either an exclusive Disconet edit or previously
    unreleased track altogether. there are a few tracks
    that were only released as a Disconet 12". Most
    of these are of the Italo/boogie variety since I didnt
    do an Italo mix in a while and you know- boogie
    is very cool at the moment. There is a totally awesome
    article on Disconet below:

    Mike Australia tour 2k9 style

    Photobucket
    hello. i'll being heading back to Australia next week. I'm
    very excited to be going back, since the last time was so
    good. I have a few dates off in SYD so hit me up if you
    want to go hit some record stores in the outskirts of SYD
    on one of my days off.

    also a few programming notes: during this time the IDIB
    mailorder will be a little slower than normal. We will try
    to get the interns in to send out some packages but this
    is also when college starts so it may be tough. But keep
    on ordering! Before I leave i am posting some new releases
    to the IDIB store, so dont forget to order!

    AUGUST:
    21 - SORRY GRANDMA CLUB, MELB
    22 - RUBY TRAMP, GOLDCOAST
    28 - SHAPE BAR, PERTH

    DESIRE : Oxygene & DESIRE: new blog

    hello. you may notice on the Desire album that
    OXYGENE is missing. That was intentional. The
    track did not make the cut for one reason or
    another (i'll have to ask Johnny why) and was
    left off the album. The art was made first assuming
    the track would be on the album. But it didnt make
    it, and the covers were printed anyway. So we
    are offering the missing track here for you
    to download for free. Sorry for the confusion.
    Also, be sure to check out the gorgeous photo
    blog megan from desire put together. 200 candid
    tour photos of desire's european debut with glass
    candy in may & june.

    Glass Candy "Geto Boys" 12" OUT NOW

    After months of mastering issues (the bass was so heavy
    it was making the needle jump), legal issues, and remixing
    issues. We are excited to say that the Glass Candy "Geto Boys"
    12" is finally in stock. And even better...it's a double A side.
    They've Been destroying this song on tour all year. Samples
    the hip hop classic "Mind Playing Tricks On Me" from Houston
    legends, GETO BOYS (who sampled Isaac Hayes). The flip side
    of the record features the Deep Gems burner "Animal
    Imagination". If that wasn't enough, the record contains 12"
    instrumental versions and vocal edits of both songs. 3 tracks
    per side. This is an extremely limited one time vinyl pressing
    that you will never see on itunes. Packaging includes full color
    jacket, insert, and lyric sheet. "For a good time...call Glass
    Candy"...

    also, we made a t-shirt with the Geto Boys cover specifically for
    sale with this 12". We only made 60 shirts, so hurry up! Its
    our tribute to the 12"! The shirts are on black American Apparel
    shirts, and the price is nice!

    OH YEAH, if you already ordered the Geto Boys 12" before we
    put the shirt up- it is not too late to get a shirt. email us your
    paypal receipt or transaction # along with $13 (the balance for
    the shirt plus some shipping) and we will send you a shirt.
    make sure you tell us your size.
    paypal address for the shirt: mike@troublemanunlimited.com

    this should be available in the store today! (August 6). sorry
    for the confusion.
