(313) addictive in chi-town...hood/heard/metro area
i got the chance to road-trip from detroit to chicago for the addictive party at the metro smartbar. it was a nice venue. in the basement bernard badie and larry heard played house all night long. upstairs harry the bastard started things off playing records i've never heard and probably won't ever hear again. metro area followed up with a shoutout to 313er rob theakston saying something about him being in jail for doing really bad things!!! maybe rob could provide some details of his offenses. robert hood finished up the night with decks and machines. first off, i didn't spend much time in the basement later in the night. bernard badie started out playing in the basement with some really nice house, no classics, just contemporary deep house. we then went upstairs to see metro area. i haven't ever bought any of their records before, but i just gotta say that those guys make really cool music...such an amalgamation of so many genres, and yet so unique and fresh. rob hood played with decks and machines. i could tell he had a 909 and decks, but did anyone else get a chance to see his whole set-up. he really rocked it out cutting up and scratching. all his mixing was really clean. starting in with wu-tang and then just punishing the crowd with a hard fast minimal assault. it was really great. he even performed a new track with a woman doing live spoken word over top of what may have been an acetate??? the crowd seemed up for it too as they probably don't get to hear much techno in chicago. i didn't get to spend much time listening to larry heard. maybe someone else could let me know about his set. there weren't many people at the party and there was always room to dance. good sound, good music, good venue, good, good, good!!! -sam __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: (313) 8-Mile - Detroit music history
Well, it's like this: to some extent, the 313 list INVENTED the sort of over-reverent, concerned-with-absolute-purity, hardcore trainspotter version of Detroit Techno. A few journalists got on the list and started spreading the meme to the hoi polloi. People start seeing their opinions reflected back at them from magazines and think they got the world on lock. I mean there's a whole GENRE of music -- IDM -- that is NAMED after a mailing list. And, I might add, the mailing list is 95% of the worldwide market for the music. Does that make mailing lists influential, or just just a closed feedback loop? Some interesting points. And lest we forget, the whole futuristic utopian idea of techno was invented by Derrick May and Juan Atkins egging on British journalists some time after they started making the music. Sure, that was the idea, but they never said it was exclusive. I know Derrick listens to a bit of everything. The whole problem with journalists is they're writers, and they're always confusing an attractive narrative for reality. Now that is a generalisation!!! :)

(313) M station Review - Unit 34: assorted tracks
Larry Kucharz, Unit 34: assorted tracks LP, International Audiochrome This is techno by a composer rather than a dance producer. The distinction is that one would move your feet and the other would move your brain. In the bio the word minimalist also appears... which allows us to segue nicely to Steve Reich who is regarded by quite a few people as one of the godfathers of techno dance music even though Reich usually (and very cleverly) uses accoustic instruments. The idea is sparse instrumentation with interesting developments of rythmn. The works here aren't as sparse (minimal!) as the things I've heard of Steve Reich but they are in that area and are nicely effective. There is an attention here to orchestration and there are frequent changes even to the extent that track 7 gave me some thoughts of Stravinsky ... but with the timbres all electro. This CD is probably not one you're going to find in your local CD store. If you like the sound of it you can get it at cdstreet.com and amazon.com.

(313) Exhibit
did this get posted already? LINK http://www.detroithistorical.org/exhibits/index.asp?MID=368 Techno: Detroit's Gift to the World January 2003 - June 2004 Detroit Historical Museum's Stark Hall History is often thought of as a series of events that occurred a very long time ago. The truth is, history is also what happened yesterday, five minutes ago, and in fact, today's events will be tomorrow's history. With this in mind the Detroit Historical Museum has partnered with the originators of Techno to share the story of their music. This groundbreaking exhibit will trace Techno's early beginning from its Detroit roots to its emergence as a global sensation. An ambitious new exhibit - the world's first on the subject -- that celebrates a style of music born in Detroit that has kept the world dancing for more than 20 years. Learn the straight story of how Juan Atkins, Eddie Fowlkes, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, four young men from metro Detroit, created and developed this electronic style of dance music and trace its early beginnings from local Detroit clubs to its emergence as a global sensation.

And, I might add, the mailing list is 95% of the worldwide market for the music. point #2, IDM was not NAMED after the hyperreal mailing list. I joined [EMAIL PROTECTED] in September of 1993, soon after its formation. The preceding summer, Warp had released the first round of (artificial intelligence) records. Brian Behlendorf, the owner of Hyperreal and the founder of idm, had needed a name for the new list, and since the Warp series was called (artificial intelligence) and it was at least partially the model for the kind of music he wanted to discuss, I think he decided Intelligent Dance Music was as good a name as any. To my knowledge that was the first usage of the term IDM anywhere. Less than a year later, Warp brought out the compilation Artificial Intelligence 2, and Designers Republic incorporated postings from the idm list into their sleeve art. To me, the conclusion's pretty inescapably obvious. Does that make mailing lists influential, or just just a closed feedback loop? Do people really take mailing list seriously? I think your a little disillusioned if you think a small community of fans have such a big impact on the scene. The hard core of musicians and fans that push the techno bean along with their noses is very small. San Francisco has a pretty big reputation in the international (intelligent) techno scene because of people like Kit Clayton and Sutekh, and even though I'm no big cheese in the scene, I know both of those guys and say hi when I see them at shows. Sutekh, at least, I originally knew through the sf-raves mailing list, and I met Kit at MAD, which was for many years the only club night that focused on techno as such in San Francisco. Folks like Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani used to be active participants on this list, to say nothing of the ongoing involvement of Alan Oldham (although the list appears to have pissed him off one time too many, more's the pity), Sean Deason, and Todd Sines (among others). I'm pretty sure Fabrice Lig was a poster here before he started releasing music. The same goes for idm, where folks like CiM were posting to the list long before they started releasing music. It's an open-ended question (as per above) as to how influential these lists are, but in the small and relatively closed universe of techno, online forums have a large and growing presence. yrz, Forrest -- . . . the self-reflecting image of a narcotized mind . . . ozymandias G desiderata [EMAIL PROTECTED] desperate, deathless (415)823-6356 http://www.pushby.com/forrest/ ::AOAIOXXYSZ::
