JD Twitch will release Mmm, Betty!, a collection of his re-edits under the name Betty Botox, in August.

Known for his freewheeling DJ sets as one-half of Optimo, Twitch has also made a name for himself re-editing obscure slices of vinyl for the past few years. His first full-length release is no different, as Twitch cuts up the nervous synth experiments of the Residents, Aussie industrialists Severed Heads, psych rockers Hawkwind and many more. The result is a mélange of unlikely tunes that have rocked the dancefloor of Glasgow's Sub Club. A chunky and strange ride of kraut, dub, disco, and everything else under the sun, it promises to be one of the more diverse collections of re-edits that you'll hear in 2008.

Tracklist
01. The Jellies - Jive Baby on a Saturday Night
02. Love of Life Orchestra - Beginning of The Heartbreak
03. The Residents - Diskomo
04. Severed Heads - Greater Reward (Dub)
05. Pankow - Boys and Girls
06. Carlos Peron - Et
07. Hawkwind - Valium Ten
08. Flying Rhythms - Doragon Balls
09. Zed - Fremen (Naum Gabo guest rework)

Endless Flight will put out Mmm, Betty! on August 25, 2008.comment 13 Comments

Thu, 02 Oct 2008Bareklik i could agree with you if my analysis of music simply extended to what decade it was from. In which case we could be saying that Lindstrom is identical to Scissor Sisters and that Richard X and Jurassic 5 make the same sort of music.

Of course the 80s has been revisited, but it's the synth-pop/italo clean electronic sound that has been thoroughly strip-mined. The clanky proto-industrial stuff that Betty Botox and Optimo cover, however, is far less often referenced, and definitely... More

Thu, 02 Oct 2008I disagree. Firstly, half of the tracks on this aren't from the 80s and surely the point of projects like this is quite clearly to take things from the past and make them relevant to now. I don't think that is living in the past.

Wed, 24 Sep 2008You really can't think of a single DJ or producer out there that rehashes the sound of the 80s in one fashion or another? It's only been the most enduring popular trend in dance music since January 1, 1990. Why don't you head down to the nearest 80's night at your local dancehall and ask the DJ his name? Then you'll know someone. A less sarcastic suggestion: what about Richard X and Girls on Top (in the early 2000s) with their awesome mash-ups, which came out before too many djs and satellite... More
