Get ready for Hybrid!

[badkitty3804]

I know I'm going....I :affection: me some Hybrid.

Here's some info on Hybrid for those that just don't know....

"Hybrid is a trio of remixers based in the Welsh city of Swansea: Mike Truman, Chris Healings, and Lee Mullin. Meeting while going to clubs in the early '90s, the three made their own remixes of recordings, eventually earning assignments from record companies to pursue their hobby professionally. Finally, they were signed to Distinct'ive Records and embarked on making an ambitious first album, Wide Angle, in Moscow, using such talents as singer Julee Cruise and the 90-piece Russian Federal Orchestra. "Finished Symphony," which reached the U.K. singles charts in July 1999, featured the orchestra. It was followed into the charts in September by "If I Survive," featuring Cruise on vocals, and by Wide Angle itself. Picked up for release in the U.S. by Kinetic (distributed by Reprise, a division of major label Warner Records), Wide Angle was reconfigured for its American appearance in September 2000. The group then served as the opening act on Moby's U.S. tour that same fall. "


"Mike Truman and Chris Healings are Swansea-based Hybrid. Their 'type' of music has been described as a mixture of breakbeat and progressive, but they aren't the kind of group you can fit neatly into genres.

Hybrid have toured the globe DJ'ing and giving their world-famous live performances - most notably supporting Moby in a stunning tour of the USA.

Hybrid's new single, True to Form, and their new album, Morning Sci-Fi, have now been released."

:cheer: OH MY FUCKING GOD! :cheer:


I'm just beyond extatic right now... I don't know what to do! Can I just molest all three of them all at once, then tie them up, gag them and take them home with me to keep in my closest? :afterbuzz:

[spiggums]

mmm... and the new album has Peter Hook on it...

which makes an 80s boy such as myself get all kinds of giddy!

wow, i had no idea that mike truman was part of maurice. just checked the sleeves for "feline" and "faith delivers". very cool. no wonder they rock.

[spiggums]

they need to hit the US again with a live set... seeing them with Moby in '00 was the shit!

[badkitty3804]

If I wasn't so excited about them coming...I would cry about it not being a live set. :puppydog:

[beth]

i cant make it :sadblue:
its my girl's birthday, and i would feel like an asshole if i went to the club instead. i would love to see hybrid tho. maybe i can manage to make it to both.

[cleophite]

drag her along, she might like it :shrug:

i can't wait to see this :badkitty:

[beth]

nah, she likes girly punk music (i.e. bikini kill, detroit cobras). i dunno, we'll see.

:werd:

their set at Trust was stellar. this friday is lookin' to be a great night. i know a ton of peeps who are coming out for this. gonna to party on 'till the break of dawn. :bbjohnson:

[kamikaze80]

spiggums: agreed. saw them do a live set at fabric last summer and it was amazing.

if i remember correctly, i think adam freeland came on to finish the nite and he just blew the crowd away with his nirvana remix..smells like freeland i think it was? man that was goodtimes =)

[whazzupcali]

this will be fun. i've only heard them on mixes and such but they're always playing/making crazy remixes that really dissolve genres. i think that makes them as cool as play-doh.

[DNAgirl]

I'm excited :eddie:

[housecat]

I'm uberexcited for this. RITM and Hybrid were the 2 acts I was dying to hear. This Friday is going to be hella hot.

[sirenofthestorm]

I am so happy to see Hybrid. I will brave the cold no matter what!

[Distraction]

Hooray for Hybrid, please sweet Jebus let it be warmer this Friday than last Friday.......

and yeah, how can you not lose when you also throw in Peter Hook from New Order?

The oddest part when I first started listening to their stuff is that I HATE R.E.M, with only a couple songs I actually like, but their remix of "The Great Beyond" is absolutely badass......

Can't wait to see them :tweak:

[spiggums]

da hell does R.E.M. have to do with Hybrid and/or New Order???

[Distraction]

Sorry, my bad, basically was talking in reference to Hybrid's remixing of some of their songs......here's an example, my bad Spiggums...

http://www.hybridized.org/sets/?id=99

Lol, yeah, guess that did sorta come out random looking back on it, but my point was that I thought it was impressive to take songs I would normally hate and remix them into something I thought was awesome...

[spiggums]

ahh... now I understand... carry on :)

[MaryAnarchy]

hey! i'm going to this.

[crystalb24]

I can't wait. I've heard nothing but good things and can hardly wait to hear for myself, for the first time, what they are all about.

~Crystal

[MaryAnarchy]

i don't particularly like their music, i find it to be somewhat sleepy. :shrug: oh well.

[spiggums]

what does all this mean?

Drunken hijinx may occur this Friday night!

[MaryAnarchy]

yeah, let's get drunk.

i haen't gotten drunk proper in prolly two months.

[davico]

:chug if i get drunk ....somebody can drive my car? :sadblue:

[housecat]

That's what designated drivers are for. See if a friend will go with you and not drink.

[the sex molesters]

so i've heard a few hybrid remixes that i really like..... but when i saw them play at trust they didn't play any of them or for that matter any remixes that i recognized at all.... :shrug: i was kinda disappointed. they're good though.

[housecat]

They are amazing not just good. I want to hear a live set though that would be awsome. I wasn't really blown away at Trust either to be honest with you but I think Friday will be MUCH better :)

[swerve311]

woot for hybrid

[A.J. Inx]

"Hijinx?"", you say... M'luv, you have no idea... :D

sure they did. their rmxs of "everything in its right place" and "xpander". they rocked that night. even cliffy danced.

[the sex molesters]

i don't know either of those songs. :shrug:

(i know OF xpander, but honestly i've never heard the original....)

[uberclkgtr]

you're a DJ and you've never heard sasha's "xpander" and radiohead's "everything in its right place"?

:inergy:

their "xpander" rmx was the last track of the night, btw.

[the sex molesters]

ok well i heard it i guess. i haven't heard any radiohead since "ok computer"

[uberclkgtr]

mmmm... I love that mix of "Everything In Its Right Place"... Actually, that's the one thing I remember dropping at Aurora cause I had some woman run up to me afterwards all like "OMG THANK YOU FOR PLAYING THAT!!!"

but really... Hybrid has done so many remixes that are just mindblowing..
St Etienne - Boy Is Crying
DJ Rap - Bad Girl (and I really am not a big fan of DJ Rap outside of sheer physical attraction)
Conjure One - Tears from The Moon
BT - Never Gonna Come Back Down

to name a few!

Then when you consider their original work???? It would make my night if they dropped "If I Survive" Friday night!

[housecat]

hahahaha rightfully so. I'm PSYCHED for this!

[beth]

would it be wrong of me if i bailed on my girl's birthday party to come to cubik?
:sadblue:

[Wickity]

:no:

[uberclkgtr]

their dub of that is sublime. i just played that a couple weeks ago. :drool:

i hope they drop the live mix of "hi life". please please pretty please.

and it's perfectly ok to bail on a b'day party to come to cubik when hybrid's there. i am (though attending the b'day party for a little bit methinks). :D

[DNAgirl]

I would die if they drop "True to Form"

[housecat]

Now I just need the one with Peter Jennings(I think) and Barbara Walters talking with a helicopter sound in the background. NO idea the name of the track though :( It's an oldie but goodie.

[MaryAnarchy]

i liked the micro mix the best!
man, i'm about to go raid my exboyfriend's house and steal it. he doesn't even use his tt's anymore.

Hybrid's gonna kick ass. I hope they throw down more breaks than progressive though.

[housecat]

DUDE, it will totally be breaks I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Are you giving Jose your BLING?

:evilred:

[Xodus]

I heard that they hardly played breaks one of the times they played at buzz, but at the WMC they played almost all breaks.

I dont know who is getting the bling. I'm not sure if i want to get rid of it now. That shit is HOT!

[housecat]

:haha: :haha: :haha:

THUG! j/k

I heart them at Trust they played progressive AND breaks.

[Xodus]

Nice. I have faith they will totally throw down. I'm sure they'll at least start with Breaks since SS is on first, then prob move to some prog later.

[MaryAnarchy]

nice avatar, i saw that sign @ roar and it annoyed me the whole day/night.

[TsunamiOne]

just so everyone is clear: hybrid are mike truman and chris healings...lee mullin let the group about 2 years ago.

hybrid have done over 200 remixes in the last 10 years.

www.hybrid-group.com (unofficial site)
www.hybridized.org (live hybrid sets)
www.hybridsoundsystem.com (official home page)

saw them at buzz/trust last year and they rocked it with lee coomb's remix of extreme ways, their radiohead remix, and their xpander remix among others. saw them at ultra in miami last year and they played a live PA set which also rocked.

look out for their remix of massive attack's dissolved girl. it's totally badass. it's on way out west's annie nightingale mix on hybridized.org.

dial-up suckers beware...

[MaryAnarchy]

if i hear xpander, no matter how old/overplayed it may be, i will seriously plur myself. i fuckin loved hearing that song at the original alias when alex would drop it.

Actually, I believe that the remix of Xpander was a mashup that Hybrid claimed they didn't do, at least that's what I read on the global underground messageboard.

I've also read that they've done a remix of the Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds" I'm def trying to check that out!

the rmx of xpander they dropped at trust was not that crappy bootleg mashup vinyl that you're referring to. this sounded like a proper hybrid rmx. :yes:

Yeah i totally know which remix you're talking about.

I was reading www.progressive-sounds.com in the soundbits section and they mention that Hybrid just completed a remix of it.
