He used to be involved with Mile High promotions - associated with the more
mainstream promotion group Compass - doing big all night "raves" in the
basement of the Roy Wilkens auditorium in St. Paul. He has stopped working
with Mile High as far as I know. He now is doing things on a MUCH smaller
scale at 7th Street Entry - a tiny little bar/live music club. Actually,
it's a side venue of First Avenue Nightclub - and about the size of a
walk-in closet. Usually they get punk bands on the rise playing there. He
still puts up his infamous Wall of Bass in there so the whole place just
rumbles. It's called "Techno Rules!" - which I think is kind of a lame name
but it's very Woody. I've been down there once (there has only been one
night so far but another one is coming up) and it was lots of banging
techno - depending on who was manning the decks - I heard harder Dutch
techno, deeper dubby stuff, Schranz, and tribal. Also nobody danced.
As far as his labels - he has recently released stuff on Bush and I do
think he has something new on another label. I can ask my co-worker who is
an old high school chum of his. He should know. You can still find
Communique, Head in the Clouds, and Sound records at Let it Be records
either in the used bin or sometimes in the new local releases. Country
Western is still harder to find here though I've stumbled across a few.
I've been seeing a lot of old DJ Slip records (pop up in the used bin) that
Woody put out waaaaaay back when.
Oh yeah, Woody made up a flyer/music rag for the first Techno Rules! night
- I might still have it around here somewhere. It was cheap Kinko's copies
quality. Very DIY. Had mostly charts and a extremely brief history of
techno. My co-worker (his good friend) was rather disappointed in it - he
thought it lacked the humor that Woody has. It was rather "serious" in
attitude.

Hi all,
Went through some old Generator records last night, and came accross the
ones by DJ ESP (GEN009, GEN 017). What's he up to these days? I recall a
time when the record shops were flooded with Communique / Head In The
Clouds
/ CountryWestern records, and at some time that just stopped.
So what's he doing these days? Do these labels still exist?
Wondering,
W
