Re: (313) techno rebels/more brilliant than the sun
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. *cha-cha-cha* shannon by collapsing concept into matter, the mental into the material, the rekkid [sic] functions in 2 parallel systems: as a concept visualized on vinyl as punishing frequencies, orchestrally arranged Techno, sepulchral frosted, a Rhythmachine of planetary information. --kodwo eshun synthetic fiction/electronic thought _more brilliant than the sun: adventures in sonic fiction_

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.

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.

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.

Why not buy the originals instead?

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.

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 York City's greatest style and scene makers, the story traces the hypnotic birth of disco, the Garage inspired technical innovations that changed the music industry, the erotic life... read more From the Publisher Cheren, though respected for his record label, is loved by many for making possible one of the world's most revered nightclubs, The Paradise Garage.

SWANK sundays staring 4.30.00
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 -craig gonzalez-

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.

Re: (313) Techno Rebels--miami bass-ghetto tech etc.
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
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 http://www.hotmix.net Brian Out now: BUNKER 3008, Legowelt vs Orgue Electronique Derrick in Nord Korea Mailorder at http://www.clone.nl/ Info at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
New CD's!
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 ;) Anyways..

On 12 Apr 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't agree with the duality of ghetto and bass. There's a third (sub)genre, and that could be called technobass or maybe Detroit bass. And the lineage on that goes on before Miami, before jeep trax, before where dem hos at, before all of it. I think you're rightthough I'd be interested in a geneology here. I don't remember anything like say, Get It Girl or Throw That Dick before '86 or so.. I have enough technobass/Detroit bass now to do a pretty decent full set, and while I'll never match the skills of the masters, it's fun to play and *this* house head definitely rolls with that.

Fwd: Mixer US reviews in advance
---BeginMessage--- 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. ***1/2 --Alan Oldham Jochem Paap 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 ? --Alan Oldham 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. *** --Alan Oldham 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 ? ***1/2 --Alan Oldham 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. **1/2 --Alan Oldham 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. --Alan Oldham 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. --Alan Oldham www.puresonikrecords.net
