Pink Stallone CCC Podcast
Although I’ve never truly met William Rauscher, I’ve probably been in the same room as him at least over 20 times and quite possibly in 3 different countries. What I know of William is that he not only does a fantastic job of covering releases and parties for Resident Advisor, but also manages to produce under Night Plane, AND now partakes in a multifaceted outfit called CCC. I recommend checking all of these things out.
CCC asked me to submit a podcast a while back, and now that it’s out and about, here’s the link: http://ccceditions.com/blog/2012/01/04/ccc-podcast-02-pink-stallone/
Apart from the thoughts I shared with William that are cited, I’d add this… The way I like to approach a request for a podcast or a mix or even a live dj set has everything to do with what I’m experiencing and of course, what I’m listening to. Other than that, It’s hard to be super preemptive about much, for one, because I only use my own vinyl selection and because I record these sets live&uncut on hi fi speakers in my dining room. But naturally, I prefer the limitations. Grab a record from the shelf on some intuition, mix it in. Make it happen.
In the case of this CCC podcast, it was a nice opportunity to explore some of the more minimal percussive house stuff in my collection. Alot of one note bass stabs and shaker burns. In the end, I realized where a lot of those records had come from, and wildly enough it shares strong relevance with vocals from one of the mix tracks (see the CCC link for that story). That’s just a nice’n deep spiritual added bonus, and that’s what makes just letting it happen raw totally worth it.

Finally got a chance to get back behind the wheels and throw this mix together, in celebration of being able to wear my friggen’ awesome plaid jacket again (it’s FALL!). We also have a track called “Help Yourself” coming out on the Wurst Music Ever Compilation, AND we’re quickly following up our single Dancing in Time with another UTS single, Mine. Nice to chalk-up two more grimy jams to the entire Pink Stallone gang. There’s a lot of ‘tude going on here, we play and track every f-in’ thing, very happily unmistakable personalities involved…unlike the footclan playing software bongos?
Eddie Mars gets all acid-y on his Mine rendition too (highly recommended), not to mention the 12” features remixes from UK stompers The Revenge & S.A.S.

Juno Review:
“Across a multiplicity of releases and remixes on labels such as ThisIsNotAnExit, RVNG INTL and Lo there’s always been a unique quality to the music of Pink Stallone that’s been hard to pin down and slap an easily digestible label on. A deft combination of classic song writing and eminently danceable rhythms that stay close to the 4/4 axis yet contain a distinctly liquid feel is the best way to describe the New Jersey musicians’ latest production in tow with singer Joey Washington - the elastic, twilight delight that is “Dancing In Time”. Another gold star in the Under The Shade release schedule, the slow burn of the original is complemented by a stack of fine remixes. Mugwump call shotgun with a decidedly low slung revision that places the emphasis squarely on how deep the bassline can grab your guts - a pleasantly reserved effort from the Belgian duo. Wolf + Lamb duo No Regular Play opt for the more percussive approach, with stuttering patterns augmented by some dizzifying subaqueous chord patterns in the early moments, though the vocals signal a shift into something wholly more satisfying.”
Resident Advisor review of Dancing in Time
Resident Advisor’s William Rauscher offers some well-put ciritcal insight into our latest 12” Dancing in Time ft/ Joey Washington on the Under the Shade label.

Going to the EPROM
Probably the last mix from the abandoned house days. Do you remember your EPROM?

Free HQ Downloads and A Record You Should Grab
We’ve been grinding away for the past few months, and its official: The first Pink Stallone self-release 12” is hot off the press and ready for your hearts. We’ve put a lot of blood and sweat into this record, each jacket is hand inked & screenprinted by yours truly (on both sides) , and the music, well, its what it is: Pink Stallone rockin’ some dark funk with very special guest, and future staple of our sound, Joey Washington. We’ll stress now that this is the first, it ain’t the last, and every one of these 12′’s we do is going to sound as unique and different as the one that came before it. 500 copies, 140g records pressed at Brooklyn Phono, screenprinted jackets, 45rpm 7ish minute single sides for that hi fi groove. All self-written, produced, and recorded, mixed by our good friend Jake Aron. No samps, just amps.
As we gear up to get this record in stores and readily available online from us in early 2010, anyone interested in grabbing one of these now, just email us at pinkstallone [at] gmail [dot] com . We’ll also send you free hq digital files of the two tracks + radio edits when you purchase.
In the meantime, enjoy two free HQ downloads from us now, Hydroplanes featuring Joey, and a new/old little ditty from Moroder Summer & co.
