RE: (313) Looking busy: Rephlex in Chicago and Ypsilanti
The explanation could have been a bit simpler: Prior to 1997, Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor (along with Belleville) were a part of the 313 area code. (hahahahahahaha) Other than that, crews like Bangtech12 and the like brought Detroit Techno to the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area in the 90's and early in the millenium (myself included for the years I lived in Ypsi). Even the much maligned (on this list anyways) Unsel Brown did his part to attract attention to the area. -Original Message- From: Denise Dalphond [mailto:ddalp...@umail.iu.edu] Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 7:07 PM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) Looking busy: Rephlex in Chicago and Ypsilanti Hey all, I've been asked why Ypsilanti is 313 related, and I thought it would be super fun to explain that publicly.

Re: (313) Looking busy: Rephlex in Chicago and Ypsilanti
Hey all, I've been asked why Ypsilanti is 313 related, and I thought it would be super fun to explain that publicly. In my experience, Detroit techno is much bigger than Detroit, and much bigger than one strictly defined genre of music. Obviously the influence is global, so that is one way that it reaches beyond Detroit. But the whole region of southeast Michigan is central to the history of techno, and electronic dance music in general. The Electrifying Mojo started his radio program in Ann Arbor on AM radio in the mid 1970s. Detroit techno founders, Juan, Derrick, Kevin, and Eddie, all spent significant parts of their youth in Belleville. WCBN, out of Ann Arbor, had a significant impact on listeners who are now totally awesome electronic music producers and/or DJs in this area like Tadd Mullinix, Todd Osborn, and Carlos Souffront. Brendan Gillen transformed Crush Collision on WCBN from a primarily jazz program to a dope electronic music program. Erika Sherman (of Ectomorph with Brendan) also spent some years in Ann Arbor and DJing on WCBN. Lots of Detroit DJs, during the 1970s - 1990s played in Ann Arbor. I'm still not addressing Ypsilanti directly, I know. I just want to emphasize that I think Detroit techno is part of a much larger, and diverse, regional culture and history.

(313) more on Dan: DetNews
http://detnews.com/article/20110830/ENT09/108300409/1424/ENT04/Shirt-honors-Detroit- techno-writer-Dan-Sicko Last Updated: August 30. 2011 3:27PM Shirt honors Detroit techno writer Dan Sicko Adam Graham/ Detroit News Pop Music Writer A T-shirt honoring late Detroit author Dan Sicko is being made available through the website of Ann Arbor-based electronic music label Ghostly International. Sicko, author of 1999's Detroit techno book "Techno Rebels," died Sunday of ocular melanoma, a form of eye cancer. He was 42. The T-shirt, available for pre-order at www.theghostlystore.com, carries the phrase "Detroit Renegade of Electronic Funk," a play off the "Techno Rebels'" subtitle, "the renegades of electronic funk." The shirt was designed by Sicko's friend, John Stoll. "It's something that we thought Detroit techno fans would want to wear," says Sam Valenti IV, founder of Ghostly International. "It's a symbol of pride, and we thought it was something that hopefully Dan would like." The shirt was printed with the approval of Sicko's family, and profits from its sales will go toward a fund to help pay Sicko's medical expenses and his daughter's education. Shirts are $25 and are expected to be delivered in late September. "Techno Rebels" is well regarded as the defining text of Detroit techno's storied history, and focuses on the origins of the scene in the 1980s. The book was reissued in an expanded second edition in 2010. A visitation for Sicko will be held from 2 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at Spaulding & Curtin Funeral Directors, 500 W. Nine Mile Road in Ferndale. Sicko's funeral will be at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at St. James Catholic Church, 241 Pearson St. in Ferndale.

Re: (313) Dan: The T-Shirt
Rob - Thanks for the update. Just ordered. I really hope 100% of the PROCEEDS go to Dan's fund, I think the Ghostly site said 100% of the PROFITS go to the fund. Anyway, a nice token remembrance for an important founding member of the scene. thanks, Jeffrey J Davis www.jeffreyjdavis.com 218.83DAVIS j...@jeffreyjdavis.com jeffreyjamesdavis On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 8:50 AM, rob theakston wrote: > > People of Techno, > > Hi.

(313) Dan: The T-Shirt
People of Techno, Hi. Rob Theakston here. You may know me from such emails as "DEMF Weepy Memories" or "Does Anyone Know Where The Hell I Can Find This Glass Domain Record For Cheap?" Many of us have known Dan for well over a decade, and there are countless others on this list who have enjoyed time with Dan through his writing. Through the generosity of countless people, the fund for Dan set up by his family had exceeded its goal -- which is great news. However, if you haven't donated already (which btw if you have -- thanks), the fine folks over at Ghostly have designed a t-shirt for your consideration. 100% of the proceeds will be going directly into a fund to offset any medical expenses and seed money for his daughter's education fund. If I know anything about Dan, there was nothing in the world he valued more than his family, and I would remiss in my friendship to him if I didn't try to rally around everyone to consider purchasing a shirt to help ease the burden during such a challenging and tragic time.
