RE: (313) 909 Re: (313) re: royalty-free sounds/production contest
Eh, I'm just really picky about drum sounds (I dig through crates for like months with tracks on hold for a single drum hit sometimes, seriously) so I've never participated in one of these where the drums were to my liking. Especially if it's in mp3 format (haven't checked the file yet btw) I just won't use drums that have been compressed that far cough freq range cough. Totally ruins them for me. They don't have the weight to support the rest of the sounds/structure comfortably I've found. they just got no fxcking balls. But sure...okay. Maybe I'll do two versions then.

(313) Aw Yeah Duran Duran Duran Jason Forrest in Iowa
If you don't go see the Artist Formerly Known As Donna Summer, AKA Jason Forrest, and Duran Duran Duran, well I'm taking away your membership card. Last night they came, they rocked, they pummeled the citizens, they dropped the bomb, and then they did it all over again. Duran Duran Duran proved once again that breakcore is the vanguard of creativity in electronic music right now. He started off hard and manic, where less fearless musicians might hold back something to build up to, but then he just kept piling on the breaks, getting more intense. Jason -- well, if you want to know how you can play a laptop set that actually engages and amuses and rocks, I've got two words for you: air guitar. Well, and two more words: iBook Cozy. His M.O. is to pick apart hoary 70s prog and rock classics, then reassemble them with all the parts that RAWK piled together. I heard Blood Sweat and Tears, the Beatles, J Geils Band, and many, many more go into his cuisinart and come out as a million thrashy pieces. And the new Cock Rock Disco CDs and records are sweet. And much respect for putting together a tour of all those towns the hipster acts ignore. Des Moines? Buffalo? Lansing?

Re: (313) New Prince
Shut your festering gob, you tit! -- Monty Python I posted that review-let to 313 because they're going to be playing in Detroit in a couple of days, and Cock Rock Disco is very compatible with the esteemed output of Detroit Underground. If all Jason did was speed up a beatles track and put some breaks over it no, that wouldn't be creative, but it's all about him repurposing individual gestures from other records in service of his own particular notion of fun. We're not talking Will Smith here -- Jason Forrest's stuff is banging good fun.

Re: (313) Aw Yeah Duran Duran Duran Jason Forrest in Iowa
Like George Michael said -- listen without prejudice. What's brilliant about Jason's stuff is that in anyone else's hands, what he does would sound crap. If you want a more serious consideration of his take on sample appropriation here it is: Jason's aesthetic eschews irony - anything he samples, he samples out of a genuine love for the source material, and he respects it enough to avoid the Will Smith impulse. He's not borrowing hooks, he's repurposing individual hits and flourishes to make a hyped up, cartoonish, maximalist bricolage. Then, to sell it to the audience, he makes a complete ass of himself onstage. It might not be to everyone's taste, for sure. But last night's sets passed the most important test: they had everyone dancing, clapping and yelling and acting like fools, and the ladies got freaky. It was big fun.

RE: (313) New Prince
Yo I went to see him perform with his new artist tamar last Thursday and got a sweet surprise. I was ten feet from the stage so I had a great view of the show. Tamar was awesome. She did a ton of covers of old classics that only real full throated SINGERS (as opposed to mere performers) can pull off right. Some in attendance felt she was trying a bit too hard, but then you would too if this was your proving ground and your mentor was prince. Then she left the stage to get changed and prince let us in on one of the classic tunes he swore last year he wouldn't do ever again. The venue was pretty intimate compared to the stadium's he's played, so when he asked how many of his music club members were in attendance, I'm sure he really felt overwhelmed when more than 3/4 of the audience raised their hands. He was visibly moved by the display (lasted a couple minutes)and he proceeded to tell us, I know I said I wouldn't, but this is gonna be between me and Atlanta. Nobody's got to know about this. Then he proceeded to kick into purple rain. He did a bunch of his classic material and was so on form it was frightening. He is a guitar god. I was supposed to hook up with three other friends and the next day they both said they came in looking for friends and before they could find us prince had them spellbound and they forgot until after. Fxcking life changing. They rocked from midnite till almost three am. No other performers at all. Oh yeah, he did Michael jackson's shake your body down to the ground. THEN he says, you can't do the brother without the sister and he goes into janet jackson's what have you done for me lately?. Dope. Overall he seemed to be really feeling the classic funk/soul sound more than anything and if the direction he's pushing his new artist in is any indication, he's got it together and is just playing his cards as he always has...his way.

RE: (313) New Prince
Oh, man, Prince live - nothing like it. Amazing everything - guitar wizard. Great entertainer, humorous, dancer, makes you feel like he's playing for a small group of friends when there's a thousand people in the audience. Hope he's doing some more shows in Mpls again and this time I'll get the time off work to go the PP all-nighters. Those were my first impressions of his CD - really love those tracks I mentioned. I just find the production far too slick on most of the other tracks. Will keep spinning it in the player because it might be one of those growers. Would love to hear these tracks performed live as there is always that gap between live and CD. Live performances can bring out things that just don't come across on CD. Especially with Prince.

(313) it's (almost) official: DEMF == Paxahau
Never thought I'd see the term candy ravers in a Detroit News story :) fh - Detroit expected to announce today new producers for annual techno festival Adam Graham / The Detroit News Detroit city officials are expected to announce later today that the reins for this year's Memorial Day techno festival have been handed to Ferndale-based electronic music event promoter Paxahau. Jason Huvaere, Paxahau's 32-year-old director of operations, boarded a plane early today bound for Miami's five-day Winter Music Conference, electronic music's biggest annual gathering, where he is expected to begin promoting the event. Huvaere said in order to properly market the event, it was critical to promote it at the Conference, which is attended by DJs and electronic music fans from around the globe. Promotion time for the festival has been in short supply in recent years. Last year's techno team, headed up by Detroit techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson, was given the green light to produce the festival in early May, giving them less than four weeks to announce the lineup and hype the event to out-of-town visitors. The Memorial Day techno fest has become a Hart Plaza tradition since its first outing in 2000. But just as the festival has been marked by pulsating rhythms and candy ravers, it has also been met, year in and year out, with drama and backstage squabbling. Today will mark the third time the festival has changed hands. Carol Marvin and Pop Culture Media produced the first three Detroit Electronic Music Festivals. Detroit techno pioneer Derrick May took over in 2003 and 2004, while fellow techno visionary Saunderson produced the festival in 2005. Saunderson, who still owes $250,000 in unpaid bills to vendors and to the city of Detroit from last year's festival, announced last month he would not return to produce this year's event. - (Paxahau news release) March 23, 2006 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Shannon McCarthy 313-701-9139 CITY OF DETROIT AND PAXAHAU SHAKE HANDS, ELECTRONIC MUSIC FESTIVAL WILL GO ON.

DETROIT- Paxahau Promotions Group today announced they have been chosen by the City of Detroit to be the producers of this year’s Electronic Music Festival on Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-29. “We are sincerely honored that the City has selected someone within the electronic community to produce this event - we have worked extremely hard to establish ourselves as a globally respected organization, specifically to bring this event the cultural attention it deserves”, said Jason Huvaere, owner of Paxahau. “Paxahau presented a sound plan to stabilize and grow the event,” said Lucius A. Vassar, the City of Detroit’s Chief Administrative Officer. “We want to see this event flourish and continue to draw people from all over the world to Detroit.” Since 1998 Paxahau has produced Electronic events in Detroit. In that time they have grown to include a record label, booking agency, web-archive and event production company which hosts an average of 20 events a year in the city. The festival producers have also been endorsed by previous festival directors, Carl Craig, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson. “As the festival’s 2003 and 2004 producers, we are pleased to see that Paxahau will be taking on the event,” said electronic music pioneer Derrick May. “Jason Huvaere and his group are not only competent event managers, but they are of the electronic music industry. I am confident that in their hands, the event’s integrity as the world’s signature electronic music festival will be preserved, and its operations and management strengthened. “ In an effort to maintain a globally recognized, positive brand image for Detroit, Paxahau will retain the name “Movement, Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival.” With a network of alliances and resources that span the globe, the Paxahau team has emerged as a premier promotions group within the electronic music industry. They plan on growing the festival into a cultural attraction that celebrates not only to sonic art forms associated with Electronic Music, but also the visual arts culture that has evolved from its influences as well. “We see the festival as an opportunity to bring Detroit’s influence all over the world home and nourish one of Detroit’s primary opportunities for tourism and development,” said Huvaere.
