(313) mix WNUR chicago: Guest DJ Paul Hammond, UK
Sonic Sunset 8 Sept 2006: Guest DJ Paul Hammond, UK Fridays 9:30pm - 12:30am, 89.3 FM WNUR Chicago Download from http://SonicSunset.com Catching up w/ our second to last live radio broadcast, more special programs: Part 1 An deep cross-genre guest mix this week from Paul Hammond, label maestro of Real Soon records UK, also known for being half of the ambient pioneering duo Ultramarine. Paul has spent his career honing his incredible ear for mood and rhythm, creating a wonderful tension between warm soul and unsettling darkness -- in his own music and what he carefully curates for his label. He has a deep knowledge of post-punk and ambient music from its formative years and his mix for us crisscrosses the decades and styles, truly an environmental and emotional listening experience. We've got nothing but respect for this likeminded long time listener who also has his own excellent radio programs for download, check them out at http://realsoon.net -- Thank you Paul! Part 2 If you fused the grit of Theo Parrish, the original mechanical warmth of Larry Heard, and the otherworldliness of Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works - you'd arrive close to the sound of Newworldaquarium. We take a listen to his music recorded under various aliases, over a range of years (1993 - 2005), on a number of labels (Delsin, New Religion, Peacefrog, Planet E, etc.). Leading up to that, Dave rolls out a few show favorites, along with ethereal dubstep from Burial, and sweet ambience from Marsen Jules.

Re: (313) what's up with the festival?!?!?!
I don't think tourism is a Detroit strongpoint. It's the only city I've ever been to where I couldn't find a postcard to send home. I didn't really look for one, but you don't usually have to. Shame really, as I'm sure the revenue from tourism would be a boon to the city. On 02/02/07, Odeluga, Ken [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is the main reason why I've never gone Robin.

if they got they're act together, then they'd have bigger influx of foreigners. surely they sould have been planning it the day the last event finished. lock down artists early. now is when line-up needs to be released. i probably wouldn't bother with main event, especially if the line-up bears any resemblance to last year's. wish i'd gone to the actual demfs.

Odeluga, Ken wrote: Is that a loaded question? ;-) :) I've been once before. I loved Detroit. There's a certain positivity about the regeneration of the city that I felt that kinda chimes with how the north of England felt when leaving behind the dark days of the 80s. How much of that is projection on my part I dunno. What I'm saying is that it'd be a shame for Detroit not to draw in more people from overseas to feel that just because events that have the ability to do so aren't timed correctly in their organisation. And before we go into dissing organisations etc (or even line ups) stop there. We've done that before, it's tired now. robin

Re: (313) what's up with the festival?!?!?!
All you lot foreigners: Every year since 2000, if you got on a plane the last weekend in May you'd have seen a huge, awesome show in Detroit. You'd shop at Submerge and Melodies and Memories, you'd visit the Heidelberg Project, you'd see Mike Huckaby DJ -- four or five times if you wanted -- and there'd be loads of great afterparties. And the Clique will be serving grits on the side. It's by no means ideal that you don't get a load of advance notice, but I would think that a pattern has been established: There will be a festival, it will be awesome. My favorite festival years have been when the most people from outside the country have showed up.

Re: (313) what's up with the festival?!?!?!
Yeah, I don't think those numbers were ever accurate. I remember parking at the Ren Cen, which is next door to Hart Plaza, all three days the first two years. If there were an extra 1 million people in Detroit, a city of about 1million, I think that parking would have been a bit tighter. Thinking about Detroit's tourism, or lack thereof, it's never been a strong point. Almost everyone that meet that has never lived there, refers to it as the armpit of the universe. :( As a former local, it has a lot of character, but I can see how visits might be scared off. If I remember correctly, wasn't Derrick scrambling at the end to confirm those artists? I don't remember any of the fests being particularly well-sorted in advance of the weekend. *shrugs Joel - Original Message From: robin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Aidan O'Doherty [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Friday, February 2, 2007 5:08:49 AM Subject: Re: (313) what's up with the festival?!?!?!

Re: (313) techno w/flecks of jazz
My advice is to check the (past and current) tracklistings for Gilles Peterson's radio show on BBC Radio 1 (www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/gillespeterson). Every week he plays stuff which blows me away. It may border less on the electro/techno side and more on the broken beat/soul/funk/latin side but it is definitely melodic and sometimes electonic and hopefully you'll dig it!

Re: (313) what's up with the festival?!?!?!
Well, in regards to tourism, Detroit is changing. Having worked in economic development (more on the creative marketing end), progress is always slow. However, Detroit is making progress. There are signs all over the place from grass roots organizations like Detroit Synergy to the techno artists we love to the big corporations like General Motors and Compuware locating to Detroit to the redevelopment of the Book Cadillac building. Change is there and I think it's the younger generations that will continue to inspire the bigger pocketbooks to invest in the community. Detroit is also rebranding itself, focusing on that younger spirit. See: http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104STORY=/www/story/01-31-2007/0004517248EDATE= I also like the fact thatthe Shrinking Cities exhibit has finally made its way here. These are important events that stir change, much like the first DEMF. Let's continue on that positive vibe!!! -- Original message -- From: Joel Gajewski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yeah, I don't think those numbers were ever accurate. I remember parking at the Ren Cen, which is next door to Hart Plaza, all three days the first two years. If there were an extra 1 million people in Detroit, a city of about 1million, I think that parking would have been a bit tighter. Thinking about Detroit's tourism, or lack thereof, it's never been a strong point. Almost everyone that meet that has never lived there, refers to it as the armpit of the universe. :( As a former local, it has a lot of character, but I can see how visits might be scared off. If I remember correctly, wasn't Derrick scrambling at the end to confirm those artists? I don't remember any of the fests being particularly well-sorted in advance of the weekend. *shrugs Joel - Original Message From: robin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Aidan O'Doherty [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Friday, February 2, 2007 5:08:49 AM Subject: Re: (313) what's up with the festival?!?!?!

Re: (313) techno w/flecks of jazz
in a kind of kompakt flavored minimal tech jazz style, i'd recommend: dell flugel - superstructure (on laboratory instincts) and if you feel like chasing down something rare-ish, there's the jimi tenor, mika vaino collaboration: kosmos - kosmos (on sahko or puu) this one is a raw blend of proper minimal techno and jazz. if you haven't checked them, some of the the compost black label releases have both jazz and techno elements. i don't recall which... and i'm personally loving the new(ish) dimlite album, has a bit of this flavor, but is more of a sampler workout. totally brilliant, though. - Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Friday, February 2, 2007 8:06:46 AM Subject: (313) techno w/flecks of jazz Happy Friday everyone!

Re: (313) what's up with the festival?!?!?!
Can't comment personally on Compuware. I'm sure there is a level of dissatisfaction with all places and certainly I wouldn't absolve General Motors either. Big business is big business, but a part of what's needed for Detroit to come back too, right? I don't want to launch into politics or anything like that nor am I naive about it either. Just hoping for a thriving Detroit rather than a dead one ;). Guess I'm encouraged that people want the same thing. -- Original message -- From: Matt Kane's Brain [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Feb 2, 2007, at 12:09, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Compuware Oy, I wouldn't be so happy about that.

(313) new net release: Vergel Evans - Lx7 Promo
I've compiled 7 tracks I've made over the years into a free release for download. It's mimimal techno / techhouse. Early reviews have tried to class it as lounge techno. But if you ask me, it's all straight up Detroit, but on the more chilled out side. You can download the zip directly: http://lx7.ca/promo-release/Lx7_Promo_Release.zip or visit the release: http://lx7.ca/promo-release Tracklisting: 1. E k G 2. Outta Control 3. De Sade 4. One By Morning 5. Punishment 6. Metal Stabbs (circa.1997) 7. Thematic Waves Most of the songs were composed and recorded using a Yamaha QY-700 as the sequencer in loop pattern mode... with some basic editing in Nuendo. I've always been a fan of 'on the fly' music composition rather then sequencing on a computer. It makes for sometimes a more basic stripped down track, but I find the groove in doing it that way feels more natural rather then tricky and gimmicky. Not everyone is a fan of working that way, but I find it perfect for the genre and how I like to work. Give it a listen, they're all in 192bit mp3 format.

Re: (313) what's up with the festival?!?!?!
It's just too hard for foreigners to travel to the US anyways. It's too hard to get media visas. Hate to say but we go to anywhere else to welcome arms. I love the US, love its people (with some political exceptions), but I find the whole experience of travelling there arouses anxiety. To get a media visa you have to send your passport months in advance, have a magazine with an office there (unlikely for indie Australian press) and calling the consulate to ask a question you have to have your credit card ready and pay A$10 per question - seriously. In Japan, Singapore, Europe, we're welcome as long as of course we don't work there for income which we don't, we're covering their scenes back here, which they like. I don't mind the process if it's simple but it's so arbitrary and so easy to do the wrong thing, it's not worth it.

Re: (313) what's up with the festival?!?!?!
I've been 5 times and it's an epic journey for someone from Australia - and Japan. And it's way more expensive to go to Detroit than travelling to anywhere in Europe. More advance notice is necessary. I know a lot more people here would go if there was more certainty every year. It's a massive amount to spend if there's any doubt and that scares people. On 03/02/2007, at 12:53 AM, kent williams wrote: All you lot foreigners: Every year since 2000, if you got on a plane the last weekend in May you'd have seen a huge, awesome show in Detroit. You'd shop at Submerge and Melodies and Memories, you'd visit the Heidelberg Project, you'd see Mike Huckaby DJ -- four or five times if you wanted -- and there'd be loads of great afterparties. And the Clique will be serving grits on the side. It's by no means ideal that you don't get a load of advance notice, but I would think that a pattern has been established: There will be a festival, it will be awesome. My favorite festival years have been when the most people from outside the country have showed up.
