Re: (313) hearing loss, what do you say?

2005-06-20 Thread Michael . Elliot-Knight




did you have these custom made by a hearing specialist?

I've got a pair of the Etymotic earplugs and I've never experienced ringing
after wearing them (using either the 15 or 20 db filter).
Were you standing really close to the speakers at any given time?

I could see if you're at the underground stage for long periods of time
possibly suffering some hearing loss with or without the filters
It's a concrete bunker

the musician earplugs are worth the money ($80 per ear)
their molded to fit in your ear and also take up some space of your outer
ear so that they fill the entire canal
you can still wear DJ headphones with them too

Hey all,
It seems like a lot of folx on this list have been going for a long time
and some of yous are producers, so I suspect that people care about
hearing.  I have a pair of these (http://www.hearnet.com/shop/index.shtml
)and a couple of different filters 15 20s but in Detroit at the festival I
was still experiencing ringing after the festival volumes.
What do people do about the length of time and level of volumes that they
are exposed to -- to preserve your hearing?
It is worth checking out this site for rockers,

I am interested in what people do?

RE: (313) Hartford, Connecticut info

2005-06-20 Thread Anton Banks \(313\)
Sorry, getting the message late as usual...

Jo already contacted me offline. Hopefully this will help anyone else who
finds themselves in Hartford, CT. For what it's worth, I wasn't about to
pass on the opportunity to give CT some advertising. I'll apologize in
advance for writing a book.

Matt is correct, Spiritual Emporium (better known as the Municipal Cafe,
aka Muni) is now closed. For those of you who don't know the place, it was a
restaurant, an after-hours club, and a record store. It was THE physical
center of the techno scene in the area for easily the past 15 years. The
building was sold to new owners who are looking to lease the place to a
Burger King or Dunkin Donuts or other such chain establishment. The Muni
will definitely be missed...

Fortunately, it was no big secret that the Muni's days were numbered so a
couple of people went out and established events of their own. Having said
that, I'll shamelessly support all the events that remain...

The new center of our underground electronic universe is shaping up to be a
place in Farmington, CT called ZenBar (www.thezenbar.net). It's a very chill
lounge out in the suburbs. They serve alcohol so you've got to be over 21 to
get in (translation- NO RAVERS). This is the place to go to if you want to
hang out and listen to good music without dealing with a barrage of glow
sticks on strings or 800 break-dance circles. It's the place for the 25+
crowd to hang out, have a few drinks , and maybe even get on the dance floor
for a minute. The event is called We Won't Stop Wednesdays. You guessed
it, it's on Wednesday nights. Definitely look out for this venue if you come
out this way.

There's also a Saturday night house party happening in Old Lyme (about 40
min south of Hartford) featuring residents DJ Donut. Donut is a very solid
DJ and producer who has been around for at least 12 years. This night is
brand new so I haven't had the chance to go to attend it for myself just
yet. I will vouch for the DJs though. Donut and his brother Friddo are very
tight. This is the place to go to if you're looking for deep, vocal house.
Check the website for details, www.ibrmusic.com.

These are the more well known events. I know of a couple of others going on
but I don't have all the info about them just yet. I'm planning to post info
about local events on the forum in my website so check there if you're
interested.

What Connecticut lacks in events we seem to make up for with radio shows.
Most Nutmeggers (CT residents) are private people who would much rather
prefer to party in the privacy of their own living rooms than go out. Hence,
there are a bunch of us doing shows on college stations. Mine is on every
Monday night from 10:30 to midnight EST on 88.1FM (www.wesufm.org). My last
4 shows are archived on my site, www.antonbanks.com/show.htm. You can also
hear James Fusion (www.jamesfusion.com) every Wednesday night from 6:30 to
8:30 playing techno and acid techno. He also keeps several of his last shows
online. DJ Mike Nyce is on right after him playing deep house from 8:30 to
10:30. OL (formerly of Hillbilly House) is on every other Wednesday night
from 7:30 to 10:30 EST on 89.3FM (www.wrtcfm.com). There are a couple of
others doing shows on smaller stations but I'm not sure what their schedules
are anymore.

Lastly, if you're going to be in Hartford, e-mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'd be happy to show you around.

A departure it is. Admittedly, I've only had time to hear the first 2

more under 'electronic' than techno proper. It's slower, deeper and

RE: (313) Hello 313, I am....

2005-06-20 Thread brian


Name: Brian.

Age: 30

Place I live: Den Bosch, a city in the south of the Netherlands, a 1 hour
drive from both Amsterdam and Antwerp.

Born and raised: Uden, also in Holland.

Job: tv producer and editor. When I'm not doing that I try to make music.

Into Electronic Music: As long as I can remember. In the late 70s and early
80s my parents used to listen to Jarre, Vangelis, Kraftwerk, Schulze and the
likes when I was playing my lego's. I was really obsessed with the music,
perhaps also because I associated it with space (like most kids of the early
80's I was obssesed with space travel, the future and anything associated
with that...). After I got a radio with a tape recorder I just recorded
anything that had synthesizers in it. There was no good recordstores in our
town so for a long time radio was my only decent source for electronic
music. Shopping vinyl was actually strange to me also because my parents
already had a CD-player in 1983... they where so devoted to hifi
electronics, my family didn't give a damn about vinyl which in retrospect is
a true shame... But luckily we lived close to an american army base with
it's own radio station so I was able to record early hip hop and later I
discovered some decent public and pirate radio stations that could feed me
even more. And finally, much, much later I was able to make my own
electronic music, which would make the 8 year old me very proud of the 30
year old me :) (all I need now is a villa in the south of France and a
lightsaber).

Into detroit music since: I am not sure. I got aware of it's importance for
the music I love around 1997 or so, and I discovered that a lot of the music
I liked was actually from Detroit. I joined the 313 list for the first time
I think in 1998, been subscribing and unsubscribing since. But I don't think
you noticed anyway.

Favorite Detroit artists and music: too much to name and too much to still
be discovered.

Favorite live act: nobody particular. I saw as many great live acts as I saw
acts that should never play again. Electronic live acts I'll remember as the
most impressive I've seen include Unit Moebius, Plasma Co., YourPyramid,
Egyptian Lover, Dopplereffekt and UR.

Favorite place to listen to music: my car. Not that I have one of them
boom-cars or anything, it's just a great place to listen to music without
getting really distracted.

Currently most favorite website: http://www.lp2.net/Akai_AX-80_Repair1.htm

2005-06-20 Thread De Block, Mario
Name: Mario De Block
Born: 18/07/1971, Sint-Niklaas
Live: Antwerp
Job: government, biologist

Discovered house/techno: through MTV's PartyZone and Rave Radio, originally a
late friday night radio show on dutch radio 3. it included 'Clubland' from The
Ghetto Brothers and i was hooked. About the same age Moby's 'Go' sent shivers on
my spine. My first real identification with 'underground' music was with Time
Zone's semi-rebellious 'World Destruction'. In terms of electronic music in
general, I think Pink Floyd's 'Welcome To Machine' was the first track to really
alienate me

First techno party so far: Sun Electric/Biosphere/Robert Leiner at Pacific,
Antwerp, feb 94. Although i remember my first (of two) Love Parade experience in
1999, when you would drive out of Antwerp at 03.00 am and already at that time,
be recognized by likeminded people passing by ;)

Best club: Fuse (which is obvious for Belgians i think). You could enter the
spot in the most mundane kind of mood and be supplied with enough energy for 2
weeks. I remember the era where Aphex Twin and u-Ziq would play there and house
and techno music was still a 'family' thing you didn't share with just anyone ;)
I also remember I deliberately touched Richard D James and felt the magic for a
second ;)

Worst techno/house party so far: a party having Stacey Pullen/100% Isis/Marcello
and Koenie on the list in Sint-Niklaas. A totally out-of-context sports location
with mirror walls and utterly wrong-spirited posh people safeguarding the event.
But a boat party in Brussels with Johnny Fiasco at the deck counts in too here:
three people boarded, and the organizer committed suicide the next week. Some
people just never get what they deserve

Best techno party so far: Exil 98, at the seaside of Cherbourg, France. To me,
the french really have this unique, raw-edged kind of idea about parties (you'll
know about their 'free party culture' I guess). I'm not hinting at the
Astropolis party of 2000 when a visitor was killed though. Movement 2003 was
peaking creatively as well i think, but the fact that it was my first visit to
Detroit might have helped ;)

Best live act so far: probably the Chain Reaction crew feat Tikiman and Monolake
at the 6am dawning of a day in july at Astropolis. But Object at a Foton
'Capture' event in Brussels, 2001, with six Volkswagen car frames being used as
speakers, and totally absorbing micro-electronics going with it, tops my ranks
as well

Best dj set so far: Steve Rachmad at Tresor Park, july 1999?

Always was and always will be a fan of: Talk Talk.

Captivating techno experience advice: listen 'Red Angel' by Hallucinator,
stargazing or watching clouds pass by. It just makes me feel 'connected'

Yeah, that's the one. I can't remember if he posted it here or on the
G-Tech list. 

It is worrying that so many DJs (and punters) have to live with the risk
of permanent hearing damage as an occupational hazard. I think it first
hit home back in late '99 (I think) when TP had persistent tinnitus. I
am not sure whether it healed in time but his e-mails on this list
really made me stop and realise that maybe one day the ringing in my
ears that I got after clubbing all night might not go away... after that
I started wearing earplugs from time to time. Only cheapo foam ones,
mind, but still better than nothing.

Right, I am off to find a bassbin to stick my head into.

Re: (313) Re: Stewart Walker : Grounded in Existence

2005-06-20 Thread therealmxyzptlk
Okay - here goes:
Okay...right now I'm playing this game with myself, trying to slot the new 
Stewart Walker record (Grounded in Existence), which I am liking quite a bit as 
I give it it's first proper spin through the phones here at work.
It's a radical departure from what you might expect if you have some 
familiarity with the bulk of Stewart's previous work (techno/minimal). This one 
is slower, deeper, much more melodic and fleshed out. Definitely some kind of 
electrionic IDM thing.
It bears some qualities of ambient, but it certainly isn't.
Once in a while a track starts to remind me of the Morr label, but it certainly 
isn't straight-up Morr fodder and that category doesn't hold for long.
It brings to mind mid 90s electronic stuff before all of the genre-splitting.
This record makes me think of what I'd hoped Orbital would have evolved into 
instead of becoming a washed out parody of themselves, late for retirement - 
although the record isn't as layered or bombastic as an Orbital production.
It is at once more reflective and less pretentious than that.
It uses the odd beat one might associate with electronic hip hop and the odd 
guitar string here and there, but employs rhythmic sensibilities and a sound 
palette (this is a plus - good sounds, well used) one might not expect with 
said description.

...try it, you'll like it. Just don't expect the usual.

 A departure it is. Admittedly, I've only had time to hear the first 2 
 tracks while in the car with my wife, but I was quite surprised. File 
 more under 'electronic' than techno proper. It's slower, deeper and 
 fuller. I hesitate to put a tag on it, but it reminds me more of things 
 which came out maybe 10 years or so ago before there so many specific 
 subgenres. Suffice to say (at least until I can give it a better listen 
 - maybe today at work on the phones) it is not fast, not banging and 
 something other than what you might expect. Stewart looks different as 
 well, sporting very long hair and full beard on the sleeve.

(313) chill out/attenborough

2005-06-20 Thread De Block, Mario
hi all
just a question in case someone was deeply into UK chill music around
the midst of the nineties: there once was this strange track including
Richard Attenborough comment on a river-bound Amazonian creature (don't
know what anymore), that intro'ed a chill out track around 94. Alex
Patterson used to play it around that time, but I never caught up what
or who was behind it. Anyone who does? I know, seems my reaction speed
is about ten years too slow but, that's why we speak about 'hard to
find' records, right? ;)

Nowadays if a PA is bad, I just tend to leave.  There is no
reason for a PA of any size to make your ear ring.
 
Its just bad sound management.

Hey while I agree with most of your post the simple fact is prolonged
exposure to 85dB+ will generally adversely affect hearing no matter how good
or bad the PA so be careful all you peeps!

Hello 313,

I've got a new Cyborg K mix that's definitely on the 313 tip.  
Somewhere between techno, house, electro, and acid I guess.  I don't 
have a tracklisting , but it includes DJ Minx, Orlando Voorn, Detroit 
Grand Pubahs, Tyree Cooper, Rob Hood, Mathew Jonson, and plenty of my 
own originals.  I made this mix on the Friday morning before I went to 
Fuse-in (I live in Chicago now).


PLEASE let me know if you download this mix and enjoy it, as it is 
hard for me to tell whether anyone actually listens to this stuff once 
I put it up.


Thanks and peace everyone,

Hmmm disagree with Max on the fact you can Dj with earplugs without any 
problem.


By some way i cant describe, it is different, and friends of mine and 
also people like Laurent Garnier feel the same.


Of course with some practice it is not that difficult to Dj with them (I 
know Surgeon does that, Jack de Marseille even doesthat with the -25dB 
ones), but definitely it's not that easy !

Yeah, that's the one. I can't remember if he posted it here or on the
G-Tech list. 


It is worrying that so many DJs (and punters) have to live with the risk
of permanent hearing damage as an occupational hazard. I think it first
hit home back in late '99 (I think) when TP had persistent tinnitus. I
am not sure whether it healed in time but his e-mails on this list
really made me stop and realise that maybe one day the ringing in my
ears that I got after clubbing all night might not go away... after that
I started wearing earplugs from time to time. Only cheapo foam ones,
mind, but still better than nothing.

Right, I am off to find a bassbin to stick my head into.
