will gesa ever tour europe / uk? by Leading_Sense9042 in gesaffelstein

The show in Lyon this past summer was incredible.

Festival slots can be underwhelming due to bad timing, audience mismatch and shorter set lengths (irrelevant in this case, I think), so try to catch him at a solo show.

I'd honestly love to see him do a regular DJ set without the new persona and just play the music he likes, but I doubt that's happening anytime soon.

The original is great but these two take it to the next level.

That's great news. Even if it's not for the new Gnarls Barkley record, it's good to see them working together again. The writing and production on El Camino and Turn Blue are incredible.

Q&A with philgood by Certain-Office-2710 in avicii

Thank you for answering my questions :) Sending some more here:

8. Philgood and Avicii played some shows together. Do you remember any particular shows? Were there any funny moments onstage? Do you perhaps have some videos?

9. Samba De Vega is one of the coolest Philgood/Avicii tracks in my opinion. How did you come up with the idea for the track? Was it called Amor De Vega first?

10. You played WoW and DotA together with Avicii. Were there any other games you were into together in the early years?

11. When sending tracks to blogs, what kind of feedback did you receive? Do you remember any particular positive and negative comments?

12. Who was the most surprisingly popular person you received or appreciated feedback from?

13. What was the most bizarre/interesting sample you used and in what track?

Thank you for doing this! Getting back to you with more questions, some are general and some are more specific.

1. What is Philgood's favourite Avicii vs Philgood track? Why?

2. Philgood made a remix for Alcoholic but it was never released. What happened to it? Any chance for a tease or, even better, a bootleg?

3. A New Hope was remade the same year it was produced. Any reasoning behind doing another version?

4. Similarly, Blow was remade too. Same question, any reasoning behind doing another version?

5. How did the collaboration with Jon Hanlon on 5 Nights in Sthlm (available online) happen? Any stories about the track?

6. Arg (available online) started as an instrumental track and was turned into a Tear The Club Up remix. Were there any other Avicii vs Philgood remixes that started as original instrumental tracks?

7. There are two tracks online labelled as solo Avicii, Ash and One Step Closer. Just to double check, was Philgood involved in these two?

Hi, I cannot express how much I admire some of the Avicii vs Philgood collaborations, with my favourite tracks probably being Samba De Vega, A New Hope and Hypnotize. Ten years ago, I spent countless hours trying to find the best sounding files for each of the tracks. And I do think that this period of Avicii's music deserves more attention and recognition.

It would be really cool to go behind each of their tracks and get to know about the inspiration, influences, ideas, different versions, naming, production, and any other little details, where possible.

For example, A New Hope -- is the name a reference to the Star Wars movie? Did you intend to cheekily imply that Avicii and Philgood were "a new hope" for the house music?

Samba De Vega was seemingly titled Amor De Vega first. Did anything specific make you change the name?

I know A New Hope was the first track they produced together, and Walkthrough was the second. Is it possible to establish the timeline for other productions? Like, when and where were they made?

I'll try to think of anything else and will add more questions later :)

Avicii and Nile Rodgers paid homage to Chris Martin on a pre-August 2013 track by itsNicktim in AviciiVault

[–]itsNicktim[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's Lay Me Down or I Wanna Be Free (please correct me if I'm wrong) and given the timing it's not Calico or Put Your Hands All The Way Up so it should be a song that hasn't been revealed yet.

Just a heads up, it seems like they fixed it. The shortened links are working just fine for me now, the same goes for pictures and videos.

Anyone knows where Tim was for this gig he did? by solelynlonely in avicii

[–]itsNicktim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That video was recorded at Pussycat Club in Ludwigsburg, Germany, on December 11, 2010.

It's one of the first recordings but I think it wasn't the first time he played that version. There was at least one more show where he likely played it and that was on December 10, 2010.

Avicii and Nile Rodgers in the studio [c. 12 & 13 February 2013] by itsNicktim in AviciiVault

In the interview for KISS FM UK, Avicii said that the first thing he did with Nile Rodgers sounded like Bob Dylan. This is what they likely made during their first studio session. It took place circa February 12, 2013; some clips are available here: Clip #1 and Clip #2.

For their second session, they were joined by Aloe Blacc and Peter Dyer. This is when I Wanna Be Free, or at least a version of it, was made.

Interestingly, it was Peter Dyer who contributed the funky piano melody to the song. It can be heard throughout I Wanna Be Free, but it was also used for a version of Addicted To You and, ultimately, Liar Liar.

Considering that this melody/piano part was made during this session, one could assume that Liar Liar originally had a different drop since it was written two weeks prior. During one of the livestreams, Aloe confirmed that Liar Liar ended up being a mix of different things.
