When he turned 13, he traded in his saxophone for a PA and a mic, becoming lead singer of his first punk band, Distorted View. Three years of basements, garages, coffee houses, and his first manager ("It was fucking fun. We had a manager who was like 17 and had a car; he would take us to shows. He had a car that had no foot floor, it was just the street running by underneath it"), and eventually Distorted View made a turn for goth.
Unhappy with this musical direction, Pat instead taped a pair of drum sticks to his hands and picked up a white Pearl Export drum kit for an onslaught of basement punk shows with his second band, The Five Deadly Diseases (each of the five members named after a disease - Chris Syphilis, for example). A few years and an art school education later, Pat was recording for his next band, Les Savy Fav and found himself a good friend in their sound engineer, the indie/punk home-studio recording guru James Murphy.
Raised in the equally sheltered streets of Princeton Junction, New Jersey, James Murphy had garnered himself a reputation as a live and studio engineer ("recording bands on my 4-track for sandwiches") after a lifetime of starring in various bands himself. Subsequent to his first band at the age of 12, The Mystery Meats, the band names flew in over the years - The Extremes, ? ("We were just a question mark for a while, pre-Prince, just the symbol, I mean, not pre-Prince existence, but pre-Prince being the symbol. And pre-!!!"), Pony, Speedking - but James always found time to balance producing, recording, engineering and performing. Humble but foretelling beginnings for someone that, a decade later, is now heralded as a hugely important figure in electronic music; the "disco infiltrator" that's considered largely responsible for fusing dance and punk music. As the leading man and lyricist of his musical project LCD Soundsystem, the quintet has celebrated two Grammy nominations (for their self-titled debut LP LCD Soundsystem and the classic Daft Punk Is Playing At My House) and received fantastic critical acclaim for their second album released earlier this year, Sound of Silver.
Throughout it all, his best mate Pat Mahoney keeps time on drums and keeps his company on tour for LCD Soundsystem, and the two now have the divine opportunity to explore the globe with the band's relentless schedule. But flashing back to the fateful day Pat first came into James' studio, precisely at the point that dissatisfaction with noise bands and indie rock had reached a halting climax for both of them, their introduction to each other and to dance music was an ecstatic one.

Don't Don't
James Murphy & Pat Mahoney Lyrics
I go up
Then back to bottom every week
You'd prolly paint ya walls if you was weak
I got no time for talking if cheap
If it ain't bout a dollar we can't speak
Moon man we only taking big leaps
I need a seat
Right up at the table tryna eat
Hungry and I'm looking for a feast
Don't sleep
Or Rest In Peace
Feel pressure from my palms to feet
Trade revenge for release cause I heard it just as sweet
I go up
Then back to bottom every week
You'd prolly paint ya walls if you was weak
I got no time for talking if cheap
If it ain't bout a dollar we can't speak
Moon man we only taking big leaps
I need a seat
Right up at the table tryna eat
Hungry and I'm looking for a feast
Don't sleep
Or Rest In Peace
Feel pressure from my palms to feet
Trade revenge for release cause I heard it just as sweet
A sight to see if you blind
One of kind
I'm talkin me
It's he
Murphy James the
Best to ever be
Been too kind
Out my mind I need a seat
I'm not playing rode the pine since JV
Stop wasting time found a beat
Mix my lines wit melody
Sped the pace up now I'm free
And that's why I Feel splendid
So I spend it
Not looking for forgiveness but give it
Been tryna live it up and now I'm livid
Shoot my shot I feel like pippen
Layed up
I been slipping
Need my Plays up I been tripping
Weaving all da bull won't do no switching
Or Freeze up like I'm glitching
Just keep swimming Moving forward on a mission
Minutia minuscule don't see no difference in attendance
World mine quit pretending
Been on bullshit for a minute
Now your time up back to winning
Feel I Need dominion
Got da mob already chilling
And Dreams of Sicilian villas living like a villain
And all because
I go up
Then back to bottom every week
You'd prolly paint ya walls if you was weak
I got no time for talking if cheap
If it ain't bout a dollar we can't speak
Moon man we only taking big leaps
I need a seat
Right up at the table tryna eat
Hungry and I'm looking for a feast
Don't sleep
Or Rest In Peace
Feel pressure from my palms to feet
Trade revenge for release cause I heard it just as sweet
I go up
Then back to bottom every week
You'd prolly paint ya walls if you was weak
I got no time for talking if cheap
If it ain't bout a dollar we can't speak
Moon man we only taking big leaps
I need a seat
Right up at the table tryna eat
Hungry and I'm looking for a feast
Don't sleep
Or Rest In Peace
Feel pressure from my palms to feet
Trade revenge for release cause I heard it just as sweet
Then back to bottom every week
You'd prolly paint ya walls if you was weak
I got no time for talking if cheap
If it ain't bout a dollar we can't speak
Moon man we only taking big leaps
I need a seat
Right up at the table tryna eat
Hungry and I'm looking for a feast
Don't sleep
Feel pressure from my palms to feet
Trade revenge for release cause I heard it just as sweet

Remember when this mix was released, very good mix. Different to the minimal sounds that dominated at the time.
Jens Govaert
Yeah, electronic music in the nillies around 2005-2008 was heavily dominated by Minimal and Electro sounds. I myself loved House music and I even digged some Minimal-Techno, but when Fabric released this mix it instantly blew me away. The tracks on this mix were the building blocks of House music in the 80s. Since that day I still love Funk and Disco music
Sam Angrignon
spot on is this still underground?
Cynthia Allan
This is perfect! Hah! I have an empty case for this mix and seeing this has just confirmed I will have to buy it again!
Rory Johnson
I can't thank you enough for making it - how did you mange to get Gandalf to sync so well whilst the tempo increases? It's glorious
James Stubbs
Haha glad to help. I think I made 10-20 sec loops, threw them on a timeline and then sped them up or slowed them down depending on the tempo

I accidentally came across this video..which is funny...but man..this mix is AWESOME! I've had so many people ask me what the mix is and where I got it. I might have to pick it up on CD as well if I can find it. Thanks for posting this!
Miles Howard
I love you for adding this mix to this video loop. Thank you.
