(313) J samuals review cont.
Thanks for the info, I actually noticed that everything on the mixer was in red and that the dj zone seemed actually louder and more distorted than the underwhelming system there. Somebody from the club should have helped lyou the levels. It is just an art gallery sake bar, but it is the only space that people are booking semi big techno people right now. Which is frustating as someone who wants to go out and hear some freakin bass in the music. I am not a pro sound guy but I know what sounds good and I still have hearing. I am always trying to get people to turn down the highs and up the bass in SF, it is annoying. In the middle of Jeff's set someone from the club went through and told everyone to stop dancing, because the police were outside. Which totally murdered the floor, it actually seemed to send a quarter of the people there away. Me and my friends were joking about how it must of looked to the dj, like someone just farted on the dancefloor. To his credit, he built it back from 5 minutes of people just kind standing there looking pissed off. Like i was saying about SF, hopefully the scene is in recovery and people start going out to dance again and bigger more bassy spaces get used with pro sound. Until then we don't need earplugs. tom
Re: (313) OUCH!
I actually have a much stranger story. Last New Year's I was playing at a Providence club. It was hard to see so I lit one of the candles that was on the railing in front of the turntables. Unfortunately something or someone knocked it onto one of the records and now there is candle wax in all the grooves.

Re: (313) OUCH!
A friend of mine tells a great story about a local DJ who used to play at First Ave/7th Street Entry nightclub and other underground events back in the late 80s and early 90s. This particular DJ had a temper when it came to technical glitches. Well, one such night a record decided that it wasn't going to play along - or actually play at all. The record had acquired a skip that night and this set the DJ off. He did a quick crossfade and yanked the offending record off the turntable, pulled back, and sent it flying across the dancefloor like a frisbee. The record hit the floor but skipped like a stone on smooth water, shooting up into the air until it hit the back wall of the club and exploded into pieces. My friend says it was one of the best things he ever witnessed in a nightclub.

(313) OT, but Detroit-related
I had the honour of hearing this dude speak this evening: http://www.galegroup.com/free_resources/bhm/bio/dyson_m.htm He is a Detroit native but nowadays teaches at UPenn in Philadelphia. The story in his bio (above) is pretty interesting. If you ever have an opportunity to hear him speak, don't pass it up. The lecture tonight was at Rutgers University, entitled The African American Influence on Pop Culture. His presentation was engaging, inspiring, and funny. He even worked in a bit of rap and singing as part of his discussion. Coolest academic event I've been to in a while! Lisa

RE: (313) OUCH!
3 or 4 years ago in a club in Reading (40/50 miles from London) I was out dancing to Derek May and he was playing a wicked set, not to many of his normal track you hear him play again again. and my friend came up to me and said Derek just hit some guy over the head with the record he just took off the deck, and the record broke over the guys head. Apparently Derek had turned around to his records box after a mix and some guy was going though his Box and Derek just hit him over the head. I would have loved to have seen it.

Re: (313) OUCH!
Those of you who have seen Groove might remember the scene where my friend (and ace DJ) Monty Luke plays the hapless guy whose girlfriend leaves his record box in the car out in the sun before the Big Gig . . . Other ouches -- well, the ones I can print anyway -- turntable divers (seen two real ones, including one incoming missile while I was playing at a house party) . . . my friend Carlos, a great turntablist hip hop/house/techno DJ, once picked up the needle on the record he was playing, not the one he was cueing, with 500 people in the house . . . and I warped a copy of Rez playing in the town park pavilion at Stinson Beach, California on July 4, 1995 . . . you tend not to forget these things :) -- fh
(313) Some Help
We are just about to master the final 3 mixes for 2004 on LD, man another year over but we wanna ask Who would you like to see on the mix pages next year? We also still need help with reviews, so if you fancy doing some of that, give me a shout... Thanks in advance Martin

ps where's alex? Our resident self confessed pikey is under the weather (though he managed to make KDJ on Friday!). Funnily enough it was a lack of posts from him that first made me think my mail or 313 was not fully functional! After posting that I had not seen an earlier post from myself yesterday I got a sudden flood of posts - 2 copies of each. Again I'd ask if people could hit me back to let me know if they've got these problems too so I can just blame 313 and stop trying to find out what's wrong with my connection this end.

RE: (313) bondless
Francis, I think some peoples mail servers delay their posts. I usually see anything I post within a minute or so but sometimes if there is a hot topic I read peoples responses to comments and dont get the comments myself for quite a while after. Dont know if this helps you or not.

Re: (313) Some Help
Hi Martin, Dont know how easy these would be to arrange but given the question of who I would like to see id immdeiately think of people who dont have mixes readilly available, people like Eddie Fowlkes Mr De Orlando Voorn (If anyone knows of mixes by any of these guys please let me know, the only one I was aware of was Eddie Fowlkes mix from DEMF that was on the old groovetech site and I wore my burnt copy out) Cheers BT --- Martin Dust [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are just about to master the final 3 mixes for 2004 on LD, man another year over but we wanna ask Who would you like to see on the mix pages next year?

my friend Carlos, a great turntablist hip hop/house/techno DJ, once picked up the needle on the record he was playing, not the one he was cueing, with 500 people in the house . . . There may actually be someone on this list that was in attendance at a gig at University of Detroit during the summer of '91 where Charles Henderson, Rob Get Down Brown, myself and 2 other cats were spinning. I did the EXACT same thing after a beautiful transition into Blow Your House Down. A few hundred people stared in disgust when the music stopped... --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Yeah when I saw him play at Sankeys Soap here in Manchester several years ago shortly after the venue had reopened, it's previous incarnation having ended with trouble both financial and with violence problems, I was dancing away when the music stopped. After a second of looking around I was jostled and became aware of a scuffle. Oh no I thought a fight, same old Sankeys then! He must have stopped the music as he's disgusted. However I then realised wait a minute - that's him! Apparently some prankster (a figure all too familiar to those who play out) had come up and scratched with the record Derek was playing (or cueing up) so he'd punched him out. Sounds a funny tale and in some ways I guess it was but the night as far as I was concerned was then ruined by loads of idiots cheering and chanting - about the fight rather than the music.
(313) New records
Just got some new records: Dj Bone - Longevity ep one and two - These two rock. Although I haven't lost my faith on detroit techno, I got this feeling of regaining I listened these two. Ace! Aardvarck - Cult copy part 2 - Wish I could get the first part since this rocks. The original mix is nice but mr. Craig hits the bullseye with his remix. Beatfanatic - Adventures in the world of no-fi beats - Not strictly 313 stuff but latin beats from Sweden. Due to sample clearing problems limited press, so get yours while you can. I recommend this highly. Château Flight - Les antipodes (remixes) - The Joakim remix is s good. I can't wait to get this thing playing in front of an audience. -- Jari Tolkkinen | dj ken-guru | http://www.ken-guru.net --
