Has anyone heard any of their radio shows? I've followed the link to
the DeFocus Records show (above) and found that it includes an
interview with our own 313-er CiM (even though he hasn't posted to the
list in a while). Also, the tracklist from the above-listed show
looks tasty to say the least (a track by Stasis here, Larry Heard
there), with Plaid sounding quite broken beat-y (or is it
drum'n'bass-y?) and although a bit colder perhaps than some of Titonton
Duvante's tracks, the drum tracks and percussion sounds on their new
album remind me a lot of the of Shake's or Derrick May's work; perhaps
it's due to their energy and even melancholy on some tracks (especially
with Cedar City, which reminds of the nostalgic melody of "Winter on
the Boulevard" from the Innovator LP.
Plaid's new album also sounds similar to Anthony Shakir's more recent
work (Mr. Shakir's Beat Store Ep on Klang, for example, especially the
tracks "untitled" or "the pinger" from that EP, or Lay back from the
Convalescence EP). And while all of these artists have their own
distinct style that sets them apart from the others, while the energy
and flow of their music has a similar underlying emotional/sonic
quality.
Which brings me to this: Can an artist be considered Detroit (or
simply techno) ONLY if he or she uses the classic Detroit instruments
and melodies/style or is it more about the energy that the music
carries?
