Interesting - I'd be curious as to how that worked out as well.
On another note, I'll be presenting a radio special this Friday on the
work or Matt Cogger, who passed away when I wasn't looking. For 313
content, he interned with Derrick May at Transmat, and baby-sat the
label while Derrick was cutting a DJ swath through Europe. He has
significant releases on Irdial. Buzz, and New Electronica, These days,
significant artists and individuals are slipping away in droves - I
don't think I really need to name all the names. Most distressing are
the ones who slip away unbeknownst, like Laura Gavoor, who showed me
much kindness and hospitality when I trekked to Detroit in '95 for the
10th anniversary Metroplex do.
I never got to talk all that much to Matt. I did a radio special
feature in '97 on Lee Purkis, Cogger, and Luke Slater. I got to talk to
Luke and Lee at length, but Matt was working in a tony drinking
establishment in London at the time, so our hours mere pretty much
disjoint - I did manage to wake him up, which wasn't appreciated. I
found out about his demise recently quite by accident when I was
researching his Irdial Cosmat DJ set.
The special will be on Friday, Feb 5, 2016 at 10PM-2A Pacific time
(GMT-8) on KFJC-FM, 89.7 (www.kfjc.org). Broadcasts are streamed live
and archived for 2 weeks at kfjc.org.

This one is for the Melbourne crew,
Anyone get to see Jeff & Derrick playing with the Melbourne Symphony
Orchestra on the weekend?
Personally i'm really not a fan of the techno orchestration thang, but
none the less curious how it went down.
Thanks,
Patrick.
