They take a look at some of the rare stuff as well as the classics.

- I use to love Jockey Slut!
  
  I use to get it quite a bit then went thru a period of not getting it for some reason and thought about it a year or so later and found it had died.

Jockey Slut love....

Interestingly I was chatting to Paul Benney on Twitter about Jockey Slut after Liam Maher died. Jockey Slut used to produce some wicked t-shirts of acid house heroes.

Paul and Jonno used to edit/own the mag and now run Bugged Out. Pretty much defined my whole music taste when I used to get the mag. Andy Weatherall, Derek Carter, DAFT PUNK...

@jimi I too stopped getting it and then it was shut down. Do you think it was our fault? Can't even remember why I stopped, don't think the quality changed. It was bi-monthly then monthly, I liked bi-monthly.

Best Daft Punk - I always recommend Scott Grooves, Mothership Reconection (Daft Punk)remix. I just think that squelchy bit (technical term) is the most daft Punk sounding noise ever.

- I was wondering if it was my fault yeah....
  
  SORRY JOCKY SLUT!
  
  I loved loads of the Bugged Out stuff I have the first mix cd somewhere with Felix Da Housecat and Justin Robertson that was one of my faves for years.

great mix cd

highlights the funk/electro/acid house/techno in equal measure. Somehow the whole scene then felt so exotic!

We obviously have pretty similar tastes, should go raving sometime!

I'm not sure what to think of Daft Punk.

I mean they've had some pretty cool moments over the years, but it seems strange that they are considered so influential by so many people. The first album and the singles that preceded it were basically them mimicking their heroes from Chicago who were killing it around 1995 - DJ Sneak, Paul Johnston, Boo Williams, Glenn Underground etc and they did a pretty good job of it. Indeed two of my favourites of theres are Da Funk and Indo Silver Club.
With Discovery they went away from this hard edged filtered disco sound towards a slightly more poppy sound which took them into the big time. Although there are some killer tunes on this album one can't help but feel it is more of an exhibition in sampling/digging skills than anything else. They certainly have ears for a killer hook and know what to do with it. Oh and they like vocoders.
After this album I lost interest and admit that I'm not really sure what their later material is like.
I guess I do admire them in some respects and there is no doubt that they will always be associated with that strange period before and after the turn of the millenium but I can't help feeling that they are a little undeserving of their fame/recognition.

- the quality of jockey slut didn't go down,
  
  think they put the sleepy jackson on one of the last covers. maybe that put people off, different from their normal cover stars.
  
  can't believe how lucky i was to start uni at liverpool in 1998, coinciding with bugged out starting monthly there. november 1998- daft punk, green velvet, dave clarke, justin robertson, surgeon, harvey, lo-fi allstars dj's, jon carter, midfield general, indian ropeman live. might be biased, but there's probably never been a better nightclub lineup.
  
  went to bugged out at matter on saturday, tiga and optimo were brilliant, miike snow not so much. vibrating dancefloor is wicked.

  - I agree Jockey Slut was good 'til the end.
    
    But I preferred it when it was bi-monthly, it had more of a fanzine feel to it. I remember one issue in 1993 that came with a free poster of Jimmy Corkhill from Brookside. Always looked forward to it coming out - the nearest I have to that now is Wire mag which is not quite the same lol.

    - yes, it is unlikely the
      
      wire would give away a free poster of jimmy corkhill.
      i'd like a read of them old js issues, only started getting it in '98 or so.

      - I'd like to have a read of 'em as well,
        
        they got thrown away years a go unfortunately, bloody girlfriends!
        On a similar note DJ History have just released all of the Boys Own fanzines in the form of a hardback book. I'm sure they were a major influence on Jockey Slut - it was a lengendary fanzine started by Andrew Weatherall, Terry Farley and a couple of other dudes. I've heard loads about it, but never read a copy. Might have to put the book on my Christmas list:)
