Re: (313) Electroclash (On The Subject)
It was coined by the guy who started the Electroclash parties in NY and he used to be involved with Studio 54 (a friend of mine has been in touch with him and is trying to start something here in Minneapolis). As far as I'm concerned it's as preconceived/prefabricated as that club was. It has little to do with electro. The sound is closer to Italio disco/Euro New Wave synthpop like Gary Numan (whom I've never considered electro... I'd be interested to know who does). Some tunes sound exactly like that. Electro is rooted in hip-hop. Electroclash isn't. But music is all one big melting pot anyway... that's all I'm going to say MEK Actually I do think Gary Numan was a close relative of the electro family. Electro is rooted in alot more styles then just hip hop. I think anyone that ever made an electro record would have to say that Kraftwerk was a major influence at some point in their life. As well as other styles of music including Funk, Jazz ect. At the time electro started up hip-hop was still a movement and had not completely inundated American culture. Although it may have been an influence (Africa Bambata, BDP, ect) I don't think it was as much of a factor as the majority of synthpop and what was considered alternative at the time (Depeche Mode, New Order, EBN-OZN, ect..). On the subject of Electroclash: I think it is a fresh change from the worn out pop house trance sound that has been killing the mainstream clubs for the last 3 years. Felix Da Housecat (Chicago/Detroit) native is I think the biggest factor of the sound even seeing the light of day. The elements are very closely related to electro and the older synth sound of Detroit, Chicago and Europe. I love it and can't get enogh of it right now, although most of the DJ's down here in Florida hate it, I still shove it down their throats three nights a week at the clubs. Suggested groups or artists would be Audio Bullies, FC Kahuna, Felix / Miss Kitten, Tomcraft, Ladytron, Toktok, Mistress Barbra. Ladytron is on in my car 24/7, and I feel like I'm driving with the female version of Gary Numan. Peace, Will Web
(313) blackflag/environ
Yes, on Black Flag I am told that there are two EPs, one by Pure Science and one by an Argentinean outfit (I didn't ask the name but I can find out), and then there should be a new 12 from Stacey himself and a long, long, long, long, long awaited Black Flag mix-CD in coming months. Incidentally, Stacey's amazing set at Seven, Melbourne from last Wednesday will be broadcast on Australia's Triple J soon, but I think it will only be 11/2 hours (full set was over 6 hours).

Re: (313) Hawtin in Melbourne
Could be the crowd. I had thought that because Southern Outpost's Deep Space in Sydney was such a success that there could be a fresh interest in techno in Sydney - even though, excepting DJs and producers, the culture has never been especially strong there. I decided to see for myself. I spent last night in Sydney and was quite disappointed at the turn-out at what I thought was a cool underground tech-house night - Chalk with really good local DJs like Ken Cloud, Biz-E, etc. I left after 11/2 hours as it was depressingly quiet. The night had been really well promoted, too. Reachin' record store in Oxford St has good techno stock, and those guys are pushing good music, but ears are not open. I didn't get to BPM in time. I saw Stacey Pullen in two cities and I can tell you in Melbourne he played a much wider diversity over 6 hours on a Wed night, and the floor was full, whereas in Sydney he was maybe tougher (still incredible, he just played differently - more directly maybe) and he didn't go off into tangents like he does here. In Melbourne he was very subtle and really free. It was one of the best-ever DJ sets I have experienced. I talked to some people at the gig in Sydney and they were mostly younger and into progressive house and things like Tyrant, obviousy they get into Stacey, so there's crossover, but whether they'd let him play an old funk record is another matter. In Melbourne they would. I think Richie needs to play smaller venues in Australia myself, but it's a matter of viability for the promoter/s.

(313) Electrofunk
X Squared, Come On Baby several other Electrofunk tracks are featured on the DJ3000 Somewhere in Detroit mix (Vol. 1) cd, out recently on Submerge. Communication (Motech) is also on it. Pick up Rolando's Vibrations, DJ Dex's Depth Charge 5 Mix this one, you're set cd-wise on the electro-techno front. There's a cool Submerge poster advertising these 3 releases floating round as well.

RE: (313) Electroclash (On The Subject)
can't argue with that...I don't really feel that Electroclash is the greatest. I would rather listen to the Direct Beat Electro...And I am having a hard time drawing the line between Electro Clash and Electro Pop. I'll take Adult, Miss Kitten and the Hacker any day over what I have heard out of Felix Da Housecat recently. But then again Felix isn't all that bad... -Original Message- From: willweb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 29, 2002 6:00 AM To: Robertson, Steven; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 313@hyperreal.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: (313) Electroclash (On The Subject) Actually I do think Gary Numan was a close relative of the electro family.

RE: (313) any good websites?
I don't think anyone has hit the motherlode quite yet though: www.deephousepage.com An immense and lovingly-maintained collection of mixes dating back to the 1970s, through the days of Larry Levan and the Hotmix 5 up to more recent sets from Theo Parrish, Stacey Pullen, Derrick May, Larry Heard and a bunch of other names. A lot of mixes on here have been recorded live at clubs like the Music Box, Paradise Garage and the Music Institute, so without wishing to be corny, you get the chance to hear 'history in the making' so to speak! Most of the mixes are in realaudio format, but lots are available as downloadable mp3s as well.

Re: (313) the pace
Actually... (and i'm not sure if it's the same as yours) i have a similar record. On the outside it is a Black Flag sleeve, however the writing on the sleeve seems to be written in black marker, and when you finally get to the record itself it is indeed stamped with M-Plant. Even the catalog number is M-P 306. Guess someone ran out of sleeves. ;) G Trevor Wilkes wrote: Anyone know that Rob Hood's The Pace was also released on Stacey Pullens Blackflag Label?

Re: (313) the pace
Nope, it is black writing on the sleeve but it IS printed on mine. and it says it's called Wandering Aimlessly which is the B-side. As far as the vinyl goes it's a fairly plain and white but not the same as the original mplant label which I have as well.
