Tim Buckley - Phantasmagoria in Two

If you tell me a lie, I'll cry for you.
Tell me of sin, and I'll laugh.
If you tell me of all the pain you've had,
I'll never smile again.

Just tripped over this band and I can't find much on them. Euro Friends, do you know them?


I needed some fresh driving music choons to queue up on my server for both my daily commute and upcoming roadtrips so I dove deep into my archive and uncovered an exhaustive library I'd extracted from sources like slsk and themixingbowl back in the day - a library of illegal art unreleasable content by Soulwax performing as 2ManyDJs. They were well-known as masters of b*stard pop/mashup house music when that genre was at its peak.

Only one of the nearly 60 DJ sets they produced is available commercially, namely As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt. 2, but the sampled material was extensively cleared for commercial release; as a result, only 114 elements appear out of the 187 recordings that 2ManyDJs initially wished to use. The artwork of the album was also altered following lawsuit threats from the photographer of the original images.

So of the unreleased DJ session content, I have:

- As Heard On Radio Soulwax Pt. 0 - 11
- 2Many Intros (Colin Murray Show - Soulwax Mix May 19th 2008)
- Get Your Yo Yo's Out
- Hang All DJ's - Volume 1 - 5
- Midnight - 2am Leftfield show 02-02-2009 (Introversy & Disco Mix)
- Radio Soulwax Pts 1 - 30
- Radio Soulwax Essential Mix 01-02-2005

I have set lists for everything except the 30 volumes of Radio Soulwax. I went digging through snapshots of forum discussions from 20 years ago but couldn't find track listings for those sets. But that will make the rediscovery all the more interesting.

It's going to be fun to revisit my 2002-era listening and see what memories rise to the surface.




(I'm like this all the time.)

Well, equuuuse me. Never heard of them before, but they sound good.

I vaguely remember 2ManyDJs, but it's probably not for me.

No, that's fine. I'm just trying to be punny.
