reminds me: wasn't there supposed to be a Rough Guide to Techno out as
 well? is it available domestically (USA that is)?
 sean

never thought that being in the book business would be helpful here.
official release date, as of seeing the rough guide catalog for
spring/summer 2000 is 1 june.  all major distributors show it as on order, 
they usually begin to show on order quantities about 2 months before dute
date, so it  makes perfect sense.

2 parallel systems:  as a concept visualized on
vinyl  as punishing frequencies, orchestrally

The reason I asked is because I can see Mr. Fingers - Slam Dance faintly
in the background on his Disco-D EP. thanks for the link, looking at the
catalog on the Alleviated web site looks like slam dance was released after
Disco-D so I guess my record wasn't the original pressing.

the 4 trax on the us release are on the Amnesia double album too!

thats the one album I dont have by heard, wish i could find the CD version.

2000-04-12 Thread jim proffit
One CD compilation series that is quite respected among true Italo-disco 
fans, is the Legend series. If I remember correctly they were made in 
Holland, and were bootlegs. Check for more info:


www.geocities.com/FashionAvenue/Mall/9692/legend/Legend-E.html

Cheesiness is part of the Italo disco sound, but yet there's so much good 
obscure freak stuff, that when your hear it, you start to understand where 
the whole HOTMIX-sound takes it's inspiration.
Italo disco collectors are quite serious collectors, willing to pay huge 
money if a rare record comes to sight... But the stuff I'm into, the freak 
early eighties stuff is not that expensive, and should be found easily. Make 
connections to collectors in Europe, and ask.

Not just UK. Spin, Details and Rolling Stone US all got on the bandwagon last 
year. Thank God the hype is over now. 

I think that white, middle-class prurient interest in stereotypical Black 
salaciousness is part of what fuels ghettotech (as well as driving 
mainstream rap and rb sales into the millions), along with the sense it 
makes: Detroit is a ghetto city right ? So here we have ghetto music. Now 
THAT'S a journalistic hook. What could be simpler than Ass  Titties ? None 
of the contradictory preppy Black world-travelled educated romantic 
electronic futurism (and in UR's case, cultural terrorism) of Detroit Techno. 
Intelligent brothers ? Perish the thought. Sicko was telling me during the 
course of his writing Techno Rebels that his editor couldn't believe that 
all these preppy, college-bound, Italo disco-listening, standard-English 
speaking Black kids from well-off families were in Detroit in the 80s. Fuck

You are correct in this assumption. Sherman also has a label Cloak and
Dagger which has Tales from the Woodshed amongst its roster. Can't really
recommend any of it's releases though, and I wasn't really that impressed
with his choice of records in his DJ stint during my 1 visit to
Electrocuted.

But I agree that his review column in NME and MM was always worth reading.

Can I also line up in the queue to diss Peter Shapiro's Rough Guide to
Drum'n'Bass. It appears to be a forum in which he propogates his distorted
view of the history of DB.

Why not buy the originals instead? I looked at the tracklisting on it, and 
it seemed like the comp. was a collection of the 12 hits from Assault's 
label


It's always something trendy that the mags wanna cash on, be it Detroit, 
Chicago, Ghetto BASS etc... Funnily there has not been a Ghetto houz 
-mania on those papers as I can recall, few mentions of Dance Mania and DJ 
Funk but that's about it. Maybe it's because IT IS quite extreme culture;

following book due out soon:

My Life and The Paradise Garage: Keep On Dancin'

 by Mel Cheren, Gabriel Rotello 
 
This item will be published on May 1, 2000. 
Editorial Reviews

Michael Paoletta, Dance Music Editor, Billboard Magazine. 
Stonewall. Gay Liberation. The early days of disco. The
Paradise Garage. AIDS. House Music. Finally, a New York
Story that is captivating, intriguing, and educational.
The sights
and sounds of Manhattan will never be the same. 

Edmund White, author of The Farewell Symphony 
This book is about the every night fever of disco in
the 1970s,
the splendors and miseries of the A-List-and the
brilliant social
and musical innovations of Mel Cheren, fantasy
impresario of
that delirious epoch. 

Book Description 
Keep on Dancin' is the story of the rise and fall of
the legendary
Paradise Garage, the underground disco that was ruled
by the
greatest DJ of all time and rivaled only by Studio 54
in its soulful
and decadent magnificence. Set against the passionate
love affair
of two men who would both eventually rate as two of New

SWANK sundays staring 4.30.00

2000-04-12 Thread Thecmg999
 
 
 
SWANK is a no bullshit, show up, listen to good music, drink beer, sunday night 
gig. it is
starting 4.30.00 at the Token Lounge in Westland at the corner of Joy Rd and
Middlebelt. In case you were wondering, Quiet Riot played at this venue a
couple of months back. I scoped out the place a few times when the owner came
to me and wanted me to do this night. it is actually pretty cool inside with
two rooms for me to book dj's. it actually has pretty decent potential for
those of us that can't make it to Tonic on sundays to see TP play. I am
basically booking local dj's and that's it.  the goal for the night is for
people top show up, relax and have some fun. in the main room there is going
to be house and techno, of course. the second room is basically the whatever
the hell i want room. mainly i will be booking hip-hop, dancehall, and drum
and bass dj's for that room. it has a pool table a couple dart boards and
Golden Tee '99 golf game there. so if you don't really feel like dancing,
there are other things to do. 

  the cost to get in is as follows: Ladies get in for FREE!, for everyone
else it is $7. if you are over 21 though you will receive a FREE drink ticket
worth $4. so technically you only pay $3. if you are under 21 it is just $7.
i am trying to get those prices down, but it is not entirely up to me. 

the lineup for the first five weeks are:

4.30.00
Michael Geiger in the main room
JB (hip-hop) second room
Kruse Kontrol (db) second room

5.7.00
Mike Huckaby
Junior Warner (dancehall) second room

5.14.00
Keith Kemp
Ronin (db) second room
Dj Heavy (hip-hop) second room

5.21.00
Eric Hinchman
Mark EP (hip-hop) second room
Matt Clarke (db) 

5.28.00
Keith Worthy
G-Swing (hip-hop) second room*
Len Swan (hip-hop) second room*

 * Due to scheduling conflicts G-Swing and Len Swan may or may not be 
there. After i submitted the info for the flyer, they notified me that they 
might no be able to make it. they have something booked that they are trying to 
get out of. they might not be able to, though. 
*if they can't make it i am going to have HOUSE SHOES come in and play. if 
Swing and Swan cannot make it they will be there the next week. i will keep you 
guys posted on the developement of that situation.

thank you for your time

Re: Bass and Booty--- apples and oranges--- very different in ways other than

tonal quality and lo-end frequencies  ways that were never done before. 
Remember the car shows with frequencies dropping below the bar--an 
interesting experiment-- certainly moreso than ass and tities as ghetto 
tech explores.

I'll take Davis and Coltrane with Evans in a smoke-filled lounge over either 
anytime,but that's just a matter of taste.   

I think the first Feel the Bass series did penetrate the burbs all those 
years ago with much much hype- It replaced kool moe dee and depeche mode as 
my most played for a while when I was in Jr. High in a little town in texas.

the historical and classy Times Square Loft in Waterloo.  Just a quick 
thanks to everyone that has supported us, made our 'trial' 2 weeks a 
success, because of you we have Wednesdays locked down (not Fridays like we 
hoped, but Wednesdays seemed to work real well).  Anyways Thanks.


Tonight at 1 TRAK:  Deeno  [Sangha, Bloom!] -- House
   Matt Van Beers [K-Town] -- House

$5 admission, drink specials, and you can actually buy pints ;)  Anyways

I was wondering if anyone had any information on these UK labels. They had a 
lot to do with inner city and Saunderson, I think they were based in 
Birmingham, and I would greatly appreciate any info: discography's websites 
etc, reply privately if you want.

Yea, I remember buying bass magnetic by Aux 88 back in  94' or 95 and to me
it just sounded like DJ Magic Mike with a little Cybotron influence.
Remember those cheesy Bass CD's people would buy in the late 80's early 90's
when it was like popular to have a lowrider with 19 woofers, you would hear
nothing but 808 bass and distorted hi-hats.

a piece from a feature on Detroit's Mike Grant
from Cognition (http://techno.ca/cognition) re: the use
of Technicolor:

1985 looked to be Grant's year in Detroit, but before things had started to fall
into place in his DJ
   career, he had already made the decision to join the military. While 
in
the forces, Grant DJed as
   often as he could wherever he was stationed, and while in Seattle
inadvertently managed to work a
   little bit of Detroit into a certain rumpshaker from the city's Sir 
Mix
A Lot. I wanted to remain
   involved in the music while I was in the army, so I told Juan 
(Atkins) I
was in Seattle and I knew of
   some people who were playing music in the area. He sent me some 
records,
one of which was
   'Technicolor' [a 1996 Metroplex single from Channel One--Atkins and 
Doug
Craig], Grant
   remembers. At the time the radio station was called KFOX and Nasty 
Ness
was the DJ on there,
   so I went down to the station, took some Metroplex releases to Ness, 
and
wanted to see if he
   could get them some airplay. A few months later, all of sudden you 
turn
on MTV and you see Sir
   Mix A Lot with 'Baby Got Back' and listening [to the background 
rhythm]
you say, 'hey, that's
   Technicolor! I didn't really think anything of it at the time, but
eventually that record really blew up
   and Juan mentioned something to me about it. He was like, 'Didn't I 
give
you some records?' And I
   was thinking, 'Damn, you know what? You did!' Consequently, a lawsuit
resulted. Atkins got his
   deserved royalties, and Grant can laugh now at his involvement in 
this
now infamous footnote in
   electro history.

Re: (313) OT: Italo Disco

2000-04-12 Thread Brian Chinetti

Indeed, my dear friends, the people from Hotix do love Italo in their
record collection.
It figures they get their stuff at Clone recordshop in Rotterdam, wich is
connected to Hotmix. You can mailorder at their site 

http://www.clone.nl

If I'm correct, they'll except Visa. But remember, a lot of music was
released in Italy, since most artists where actually a cover-up for the
mob, to do some laundry...So it would be a good idea to check for Municher
Disco as well! A lot of stunning Italo tracks are actually from Germany.

You could check the Dutch label Ramshorn. In the early eighties they
(re-)released a lot of Italo and other Disco classics, but also the crap
you'll find on those compilation CD's. Another good reference could indeed
be the Mixed Up the Hague CD, but you'll be dissapointed with the fact that
only track titles are listed, not the performing artists. 

Ofcourse you must also check the links pages of

New CD's!

2000-04-12 Thread Myke Mitchell

Hey all, just thought I'd share some new CD's I got with you guys/gals:

1: Smokers Delight [Nightmares On Wax]
2: Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
3: Josh Wink - Profound Sounds Vol. 1

The first CD is from 95 and is basically a downtempo delight, the title says 
it all - anybody else checked this out?!?!  I picked up the Miles Davis Cd 
cuz I haven't really explored Jazz as much as I should, and seeing that Jazz 
had a big influence on techno and house as I have learned from the list, I 
thought I should check this out.  The 3rd CD, Josh Wink is actually really 
good.  It has some great tracks including a Gez Varley track, a track by 
Heiko Laux and Johannes Heil, and some more worth while tracks on there.  
Anybody else listen to this??  Anyways I'm pretty happy with me selection 
seeing as I haven't bought anything besides vinyl for at least 4 or 5 months

Shawn Rudiman
Evidence of Life EP
7th City US

A deep four-tracker from Dan DBX Bell's label. The Pittsburgh-based Rudiman 
shows his jazzy, tribal side here (a much better, more focused and overall 
better-produced effort than his previous Blue Empire EP on his own 
Hypervinyl imprint), with John Tejada-esque moments of chords and depth. A 
more uptempo release from the usually-more experimental 7th City, this one 
brings soul and maturity to your basic, banging techno set. Or maybe I'm just 
getting old. Recommended.

Electric Deluxe
Plus 8 CAN white label

This one was handed to me by Richie Hawtin right-hand man Clark Warner during 
my recent post-Miami set at Detroit's Motor club. Since the Rotterdam-based 
Paap's current noise/industrial/electro output as Speedy J on NovaMute is 
incomprehensible to me, I fully expected this to be more of the same, and was 
prepared to dismiss it. WRONG ! Electric Deluxe is slow-building, flat-out 
banging, peak-time 4/4 techno and guaranteed to rock your floor. Three tracks 
here (untitled on this white label), all stompin'. A solid dancefloor hit for 
the newly-resurgent Plus 8 and one more sign (along with Hawtin's Orange 
12 and DE9 mix CD on M_nus) that sub-minimal, Basic Channel-ish techno, at 
least in the Hawtin camp, has run its course. A cryptic note in the run-out 
groove completes the packagebut alluding to what ?

Bryan Zentz
Skufftones 1.0
In-Tec UK white label

No, it isn't a ska record. After Zentz's brilliant hard techno manifesto 
Kingdom of the Selfish on Primate and his deeper Loving Them Is Dangerous. 
Hating Them Is Futile EP on Jericho, the prolific track machine returns on 
Carl Cox's London-based imprint. Good stuff as usual, but I'm not feeling the 
lead track, Algebra. It works that Giorgio Moroder I Feel Love bassline 
one too many times. Too many people in both the house and techno worlds have 
all bitten that groove. Doesn't Felix Da Housecat have a track like that on 
his album ? Enough already. But the next track, Matador, returns Zentz to 
familiar funky house/techno crossover territory. Metric is the one I'd most 
likely play out: cool, tribal and very Purpose Maker circa Steampit EP. 
Bravador continues in that vein with clean production, nice Latin horn 
stabs and deft sample work. Three out of four this time for Zentz, but still 
better than most people's averages.

Mike Dearborn vs. The Advent
Battle Remixes
Majesty US

Well, you know, it's Mike Dearborn and The Advent. You know what it sounds 
like. What can I say that you don't already know other than it's taken from 
Dearborn's Ready For War album from last year ?

Cristian Varela
Generator Feelings EP
Primate UK white label

Four tracks' worth of driving, pumping, but ultimately-average post-Mills 
dancefloor techno from Madrid, but Goddamn, too much midrange in the final 
mix ! Maybe okay for younger ears, but too much for these road-damaged 
cauliflowers. Hey Nilz (of UK mastering lab The Exchange), quit leaning on 
the EQ so hard, we get the message.

G-Flame and Mr. G
Give 'N' Take EP
Moods and Grooves US white label

More funky, compressed house madness as Colin McBean meets Detroit for his 
latest G-Flame side on Mike Grant's up-and-coming MG imprint. Swing Crewz 
II is your basic, late night G-Flame groove that we know so well; straddling 
that fine line between house and techno. G's D. Sound Dub and Pulsez are 
more of the same. A refreshing, uptempo change from the current trend of 
pitched-down, water torture beats (KDJ, Theo, Alton Miller, etc.) in Detroit 
house music. If it got any slower, it'd be hip-hop.

Terrence Dixon
From The Far Future 2x12
Tresor GER white label

Frankly, this album is better than I thought it would be, going by Dixon's 
past solo work (Dixon's co-production on Juan Atkins' 1998 Skynet album, 
for various reasons, went uncredited, which led to this project on Tresor). 
Very deep, repetitive and melodic, the tracks on From The Far Future are 
simple at first listen, but tracks like Running Time and Untitled (my 
favorite) are compelling enough to take you deeper, and with more swing, 
warmth and sense of melody than the usual stark, minimal German techno. Track 
titles like Early Space Pioneers evoke the paintings of Black art savant 
Jean-Michel Basquiat while sharing the painter's willful primitivism. More 
suited for home listening than the dancefloor, this is more the art gallery 
background music of the present than the sounds of the far future. Get the CD 
version and press repeat.

Rave betty Barbie and DJ Ken

2000-04-12 Thread OscillateX2
So I'm watching Batman Beyond this afternoon (working from home has its 
advantages) and a commercial came on and I about fell over and died.  What in 
God's name were they advertising?  A DJ Ken doll!!!  Complete with a 
turntable and mixer!!!

Yes, now your little sister's Barbie can get down with the underground and be 
a DJ groupie (or kick Ken off the decks for his wack skillz and take over 
herself...).

As if all the DJ Wannabes from Oklahoma hanging around the Radisson pool at 
WMC with their stripper girlfriends and their home-burned mix CD's wasn't 
enough...
