hi This is Andrew Chuter, aka florian, from Sydney, Australia. I'm back on this list after a 2.5 year absence. There's some info about my music interests at: http://spraci.cia.com.au/profiles/florian.html
In '98 I backpacked around Japan, the UK, and Europe with a bunch of records. Musical highlights included seeing Kraftwerk at Sonar and dj'ing in Kyoto and at Tresor's headquarters night. Thanks to those I hooked up with along the way, including Otto, on this list. After returning I started a radio program with my pals Agent Patrick, James Bond, and Color, called Dark Energy. http://www.darkenergy.nitro.com.au/home.htm I sadly left that behind to teach English in Tokyo, where I am now, sans vinyl. A few Detroit related CD's I recommend from the last few years include Drexciya - Neptune's Lair Dopplereffekt - Gesamtkunstwerk Jeff Mills - From the 21st Dan Curtin - Pregenesis Boards of Canada - SKAM008CD Warp 10+1 Influences and Bodenstandig 2000 on Rephlex for those with a sense of humour. Anyway, I'm off travelling again, this time to New York, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Detroit and Chicago, for at least 5 weeks, maybe more. I'm leaving Tokyo on Sept. 15th (the 1st day of the Olympics). I like meeting people with similar interests, so if any of you live around there, and want to get together, please drop me an e-mail. I'm hoping to see some good DJ's and live acts. Besides music (Detroit, 'idm', ambient, jazz, and world) I'm also into art, film, books, history, science, nature, hiking, etc. cheers Andrew p.s. shout out also to Patrick and Phil...
