+UR


I looked up "Keepin' It Real" in the Urban Slang dictionary and
there was a picture of Mike.

(Did everyone catch the snap of Minto & JT's dL graf at the 11:00 mark?)

I dunno if Mike or anyone at Submerge is reading this, but all I have
to say is, people like Mike and records like "The Final Frontier"
mean more to me than the entire catalogs of Elton John, U2, Chuck
Berry and Stevie Wonder.

God bless Mad Mike.

Hey Dimitri, how've you been?  Its been ages since my last email to you via 
myspace.  I've been so busy, but now a few slow days has resulted in time to 
write endless hyperreal books...  lol
 
Thanks for the info about who the makers of the video are, I will follow up.  
 
As for the info about the meaning of high tech, its agreed and understood that 
"high tech" is associated with the music they create, but in the context of 
what he was referring to, I believe you have misunderstood his meaning.  "High 
tech" has been used so often in association with records, that I can understand 
why you may have understood his statement differently than I.  My understanding 
of it was that he used the term to describe a lifestyle that UR lives by. From 
my experiences with Mike, and as it said in the video, he's an avid supporter 
of his neighborhood, and he really makes an effort to work with the kids. Mike 
typically wont talk music without bringing the conversation to talk of 
contributing to the neighborhood.  He finds the two, music and contribution, 
completely linked, which is probably why he uses the term "high tech" to 
describe both. At least that is my understanding of it.
 
I realise that talk of contributing to the neighborhoods is not necessarily a 
hyperreal list related topic.  I was inspired by the UR video, figured I should 
respect the ethos Mike lives by and try to bring the conversation to talk of 
contributing to neighborhoods.  Especially since so many people on this list 
are avid researchers and music enthusiasts of Detroit, I was wondering if 
anyone has ever found interesting ways to contribute to the cities 
neighborhoods.  A bit of an open-ended question, I know, and if someone asked 
me the same thing, I'm not sure how would I respond.  Speaking of what I have 
done and am trying to do would contradict my humble beliefs for wanting to 
contribute.  I personally prefer to be an unrecognized soldier in the mix of 
helping the movement.  I have quite a few stories I'd love to share about 
interesting ways other people have contributed to the city, but since I've 
already written a book, I figure I'll leave the stories for another time.  
 
If anyone else has any interesting stories of ways people have contributed to 
the city, I'd love to hear, it may bring a bit of a smile to this dreary rainy 
holiday season.  lol
 
Out for now...
Jodie

Yes, this interview is definitely great, it's done by Slice DVD, correct me if
I'm wrong ...

http://www.eb-slices.net/

For 'High Tech' correct me again if I'm wrong but :

High Tech is defining most of the UR and others Submerge distributions, a way to
separate UR from the all techno/electro music available on the market.

All Interstellar Fugitives tracks, a lot of Metroplex releases, I would say all
tracks not 4/4 techno rythm are 'High Tech'.

There is a 'High Tech Funk' logo on a lot of releases, if you own some
cd's/vinyls from Submerge, there is a lot of chances that you'll find it
somewhere on the packaging.

Hope this help, Peace.

Wicked video. Does anyone know which company made this?  Its definitely a true 
to the Banks video.  
 
Makes me want to ask a curious question to all of the 313ers, has anyone from 
this list ever brought any of the "high-tec" that Mike's talking about to

Re: (313) London 21 - 24 december

[paul mouser]

Peter i would head to 2 places;

notting hill, there is a shop called music and video exchange (there
is 3 of them one specialising in dance music), which is 2 floors of
dance vinyl and cds (mostly second hand or promos)

then head to soho, berwick street, there is quite a few shops on this
street (see link)

http://www.londonnet.co.uk/ln/out/music/record-shops.html

http://www.talkingcities.co.uk/london_pages/shopping_music.htm

Berwick is just off oxford street (the main shopping street in
London), i would leave the girlfriend on oxford street and have your
self some flicking time as you could spend half a day here!

Enjoy
