Re: (313) Black Devil Disco Club, Terrace new-ish stuff
I've been enjoying those tracks a lot, especially the dub of 'I Regret The Flower Power'. That high pitched male vocal refrain is really stuck in my head. On 4 May 2007, at 00:40, kent williams wrote: I have heard over and over that Black Devil Disco Club doesn't live up to the hype. Whatever. On payday I bought the '28 After' and 'Devil In Dub' (you can check out the tracks at http://www.lorecordings.com) and I've had trouble listening to anything else. It's yet another take on Italo-disco, but is a uniquely messed up version of the genre. Every track seems to throw every possible squelchy/silly/Dr.Who analog synth sound into the mix, along with what sounds like malfunctioning vocoders, helium falsetto vocals, Moroder 16th note bounce basslines and skeletal disco beats. All without hitting the dreaded wall of cheese that makes buying Italo records hazardous. 'Devil In Dub' applies classic King-Tubby style Echo+Mute dub technique to strip down and further weirdify the already darkly weird originals. Like I said, I like this a whole lot more than some people, so since Lo lets you hear the whole tracks, check it out. Eevolute's web label Eevo-Next has been a favorite of mine, to the point where I've bought the entire downloadable catalog. My latest purchase is Terrace's City Sounds EP, which has more than a few nods in the direction of Italo, but just as many towards Detroit. Solid beats and basslines, topped with swirling sad pads. It seems like Stefan Robbers' style hasn't evolved that much in the past 15 years, but for me that's not a bad thing. Instead of following the latest fads, he's stuck to his guns and evolved his compositional skills instead. It's as though each of the tracks on this CD could have been made in 1993 in terms of the superficial details of the sound and beats; but it's not as though the intervening years haven't happened. These are deep tracks, artfully arranged.

RE: (313) counterpoint - shadow passage - april 2007
I really appreciate the kind words. I have had an extremely positive reaction to this mix. I put quite a bit of work into making the play lists for my monthly mixes, pathways for a musical journey. I recently moved to Dublin, Ireland and I started my first residency here last Thursday. The style of music was well received. I have Mays mix all lined up I just have not hit the record button on it yet. There are simply too many good tracks on Beatport these days! Thanks again.

I haven't seen any replies from people yet, so I wanted to get in touch to voice my thanks for sharing this. I have been listening to it on and off over the last week and have been really digging it. In a way, I am a little surprised because my knee-jerk reaction was 'eugh, trancey' but to be honest, that is a bollocks reaction anyway. I find it ideal for my drive to work, and it also works well in the gym! Bonus! Anyway, top stuff.

(313) Radio UR... Vol.01 - DJ Skurge
Just got this CD in the mail (thanks Cornelius) and I have to say, this is one of the tightest mixes i've heard in a long time... mixed to perfection. Lots of new, old and unreleased UR (and even a dynArec track from my label - just a quick plug there ;). Those Z-tracks are killing me and a couple of Banks' bangers... Have A Good Time, All We Need (this is some straight up UR Hi-Tech-Funk!!!), I Am UR and the list goes on. This release initially came out in Japan only via Underground Gallery, but I believe this is going to be available in the US, if not already. Check it out!
