words of wisdom
Just exactly the right thing, at the right time, from the right guy, Chuck D: The last straw was the CD period, when labels increased their markup without raising artists' royalties in kind. At the same time, record companies created the concept of a disposable artist; with jacked-up marketing and promotional costs, record companies stopped nurturing career artists. They have been able to fatten profits by flipping small batches of artists in and out. That is today's music industry. Well, Napster has been a thorn in that bull's side. By exposing people to music, companies like Napster are creating new fan interest and establishing a new infrastructure for unknown artists to attract an audience -- a new radio for the new millennium.

Re: (313) vocals and whatnot
The new metacrawler (number 10) has both James Ruskin and Oliver Ho floating a female vocal over funky techno drums. A friend thought the sample was familiar: anyone? Cheers Rol Original Message Follows From: The Deliverator [EMAIL PROTECTED] [snip] On a completely different trip, I was wondering if anyone out there could recommend some good techno with *tastefull* vocal samples. I really like the mills' style of vocal use in 'if'- the vocals are there, but are treated like any other instrument. They don't overpower the song.

Does anyone know where did Todd Terry get those tribalish drum sounds used on his old records, that everyone is sampling now (Sims, User, Recycled Loops...). -Yes it's E-MU's SP-1200 sampling drummachine. Check for E-MU machines at: www.drummachine.com/newpages/emu_p.html It's an old HIP-HOP grande classique, when talking about drummachines. Public Enemy used them extensively, and so did everyone who had little more to spend on their drummachines: It was and still IS very expensive. You can search for used SP-1200's and IF someone is willing to sell theirs, it's gonna cost you. ($650-$1500...) E-MU brought that machine back to market few years ago, and it still cost fuck-loads of money. In England it was like 2000£!!! It's a 12-bits sampling machine!!! For that money you could get an AKAI MPC-60 or MPC2000 which are more than simple d-machines But I suppose there is something to love about them, since Todd Terry still uses them (he had a couple if I remember correctly). That low resolution sampling quality is one hit-factor in those old classic Todd Terry tracks for sure, shitty drums and percussion sound so good when you know what you're doing. Those who have heard his Royal House LP know what I'm talking about: it sounds like that whole album was processed thru some lo-fi filter! It sounds so ghetto, that it makes TRAX output sound like a million dollar business! (And that's something ;)) -Proffit Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

At 01:28 PM 4/30/2000 -0400, you wrote: Is anybody familiar with this 12? That is, who's Hardcell and is Countdown 2000 the label? Thanks. Hardcell is Swedish producer Nils Danielsson. Hardcell has eight or so releases to date on mostly on his own Skunkworks label with a few others on Coax and Countdown 2000. Hardcell also has two remixes on the recent Mhonolink Palmsfield Road rmx ep on Zync. The Countdown 2000 was Thomas Krome's label that released one ep each month last year leading up to the year 2000 - hence the name. The ep you speak of was number 11 in the series of Countdown 2000 releases. Here are some brief discogs of each... Hardcell releases: . Hardcell: Skunkworks #1 12 (Skunkworks) .
