Re: (313) Deep Haven Music launch

[Michael . Elliot-Knight]

Oh - and you NEED to get the Deep Haven people live in your town - they put
on an amazing show and I'm not just saying that because I'm friends with
the guy who runs it.
We had Big Brooklyn Red and Carolyn in a tiny little club and they blew the
roof off.  Never seen people go off the way they did this past weekend.

RE: (313) Disco D on CNN

[Redmond, Ja'Maul]

The success couldn't have happened to a nicer, down to earth guy who is
by no means a glory hog. He does like the fame ,,but who in the music or
entertainment business don't. Everyone can't be James Stinson. The
commercial stuff he produces is stuff he's been into for a long time,
whether we like it or not. He's always been into other genres including
mainstream music. To me that's not selling out. If the populus actually
wanted minimal techno loops for their ringtones we all would be rich,
but they don't. 

Hey wait a minute, did I just create a 313 project for all of us??

if nothing else, make the dood funky! anyone check out that ill track

Re: (313) Disco D on CNN

[Kent Williams]

I don't presume to judge the quality of Dave's output, but I've always
enjoyed his sets, and he's been great to work with on shows.  He's
been able to support himself with things like the K-Fed gig,
commercial remixes and ringtones, while continuing to DJ and make
tracks.

If people want to complain about his work that's fine, but he's pieced
together a living out of the opportunities presented to him, and
there's no inherent shame in that.  We all got to pay the bills.

And frankly, if someone came to me and gave me a sack of money and
said "Make a record with Kevin Federline," hell yeah I'd do it. It
would be a surreal experience, and it might be fun. It's honest work
that hurts no one.

[Dave Stenton]

you picked a good time to visit!

Laurent Garnier's supposed to be playing live at Berghain on Thursday 18
May (it's not on his website though so not sure if it's confirmed yet).

Andrew Weatherall's at Weekend on Friday 19 May.

Theo Parrish is also at Weekend on Saturday 20 May.

also on the Saturday Berghain/Panorama Bar have Vitalic (live), Fidel,
Ben Clock, Booka Shade (live) and a few others - even if that's not your
thing you should still go as the club is one of - if not the - best in
the world.  it also gets going late (4/5am onwards) so you can check
Theo first.

on the Sunday Berghain/Panorama have an outdoor Hardwax party with
Rhythm & Sound feat. Paul St.Hilaire, DJ Pete, Ricardo Villalobos,
Soundhack and a very special guest from Detroit who they're not
announcing.

stores:

Stacey played a 10 hour set here on Monday - that was sooo sweet,  
even though I'd be even more happy with a private cappuccino machine,  
and less industry players in my ear (luv them but hate shop talk in  
clubs unless it's hard gossip), we have Kenny Larkin next month.  
Stacey played quite a bit of hip-hop, new Busta single in there, etc.  
He's really into DangerDoom at the moment

   This post is for everyone having a cry baby about DEMF

   ..

Stacey Pullen came to play in Wellington NZ the other week.

By some sheer accident I ended up making a one way 16 hour
road trip to see him play, and a flight home at 8am.

A good friend also flew in from Sydney for the occasion so
it was really cool to be connected by Techno.

Mostly I just wanted to say to the list that in some places in
the world we rarely get to hear Techno.  New Zealand has had
three US producers visit in the last two years.

You may recall me writing in about Carl Craig last year.

I go bug for Techno especially Detroit styles. It is the only  
music

that makes me dance like "Sven" hugs or no hugs.  It's the only
music that motivates me to dance at all these days.

Stacey was just brilliant, and I don't care for the politics.

He got on the decks at 2am and was still playing when I had to  
get
to the airport at 7am.  It was a sonic inspiration for me ..  
and was
twice as cool cause the dance floor was full .. unlike Carl  
Craig.



wah.



While I can understand the frustrations of the DEMF line up ..  
I think
you need to look at the greater context of what the scene is  
able to

support.

New Zealand has small population, and so a very small Techno  
scene.


Our ability to foster our own scene, let alone have events or


festivals


that feature Techno artists is very very limited.

On a global scale Techno is still a very underground sound.   
Over here
where I am sitting . the DEMF does heaps to put Techno on the  
Map.


Locally .. I would probably be upset as well.  However the  
opportunity
still remains to use the focus on the DEMF to raise the  
awareness of

the 313 sound  .. and it's affiliations.

I think the Line up is that evil balance between commercial  
and true.


However on any given day it's a line up I would very much like  
to see,



and


from a global perspective I think its a very interesting


representation of


how far the influences of Detroit music have traveled.

I think Detroit heads have a lot of heritage to be proud of,  
and while



there

is obviously a strong local scene that is looking for  
representation.



I think

you have to appreciate that due to the musical foundations of  
Detroit
many people from around the world now share in the positive  
influence.


Somehow in the face of all the commercial dance scenes around the


world

Techno has managed to hold onto it's integrity.  The artists  
listed



are by no

means heavy hitters in the commercial dance scene.  They are a  
fairly



gritty


bunch of left field innovators of electronic sounds.

For all the people that stand in Hart Plaza .. there are as many


people all


around the world who bring their attention to the goings on in


Detroit.



Promotion is the evil brother of Appreciation, and by all  
accounts the



DEMF


has been a constant battle from day one.

I just want to send love and respect to the Festival and remind


everyone

having issues with the event, that some of us are still  
struggling to



hear


any sort of Techno once a year.

DEMF does bring global attention.  We are listening out here

Re: (313) Disco D on CNN

Between doing ringtones and producing that awful unsigned record for 
Britney Spears' boyfriend, D looks less like an up-and-coming producer 
and more like somebody grasping at straws.


I picked up his DVD a while back and it was just painful to watch.

There's a fine line between player and playee.

(313) vague terrain this sat. w/ noah pred, naw, b kawula

[Neil Wiernik]

Friends,

It's time for the monthly vague reminder about our event this month.
This Saturday we'll be at our usual digs at the Artbar at the Gladstone
hotel with a night built around a live performance from Noah Pred.  Noah
is quite accomplished as both a DJ and producer, and while he has been
playing some high profile gigs around town alongside artists like Daniel
Bell and Sleeparchive nobody has had him play live yet.  Vague Terrain
resident Naw has been hard at work on his second full length for Noise
Factory Record, so you can expect his set to be full of the new material
he has been working on.  Also on board is B. Kawula a dub/minimal techno
producer who was one of the members of the Bit_Rock Alumnae production
crew and Vague Terrain resident selector ether.mann.  We also will be
featuring live generative video courtesy of Mantissa.

We should also mention that this will be our last monthly at the art  bar.
 We are going to take the next few months to focus on developing  the
journal both technically and in terms of it's profile in the network  of
print and web publications we consider interesting.  We've been quite
fortunate over the past few months and have received quite a bit of  press
from publications like The Wire and Earplug as well as the
expected supported from the online arts community, and we've got some
pretty amazing content lined up for vague terrain 03: generative art
which will be launched in June. This has made us realize that we really
need to develop what we have proposed with these first issues of Vague
Terrain.  To that end, Greg is currently researching various content
management systems and the site will be rebuilt with a completely new  PHP
driven architecture in the next few months which will also feature  an
arts/media/music related blog to compliment the journal content with  a
steady flow of information to compliment the quarterly.  We're also
planning on an active presence at Mutek this year in hopes of scouting
out more interesting audio artists to feature as contributors to the
journal.  We're not dead in the water regarding events though, we've  just
decided that we'd rather do a few larger, more focused events a  year then
a monthly.  So a huge thank you is in order to everyone that  has
supported our night, it's pretty amazing that we have had such a
consistent turn out over the past six months with little more then
e-promotion and posters in a few choice record stores.

Hope to see you out on Saturday,

Greg Smith & Neil Wiernik
