(313) Magda's Recordbag Stolen at CENTRUM, Erfurt, Germany
Passing this on... On Saturday night, my laptop bag was stolen from Centrum Club in Erfurt. We as djs and artists dedicate our entire energy and spirit to what we do. We work very hard to present music in our own special way. There is no better feeling than knowing that you and the people on the dancefloor are completely connected and knowing that we can share that feeling of excitement from hearing a new special track. In the end, we are not there to play for ourselves but for the people who support us and our music. I am deeply sad and disappointed to know that something like this could happen, especially in the dj booth, the one place where things should be safe. I feel like I have been stripped of the one thing that is closest to my heart. We are all in this together and we must respect each other, otherwise there is no point. If you have any information about my missing items please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Magda

Well, I don't know that what I wrote is categorically, deterministically true. It felt plausible when I wrote it. I think one knows what moves one's own self when working on a track, but it's not easy to know how other people react to what you're doing. It's also easy to be distracted by audio-geekery and too many choices available.

(313) John Foxx Influence On 313
Has anyone seen John Foxx's recent live shows? He must be a significant influence on techno and electro but most of my geeky buddies don't know his work at all! I think Gary Numan gets more props. That actually would have been a good act to bill for the festival, but admittedly he's obscure for a wider audience. Metamatic was re-released last year I believe.
RE: (313) John Foxx Influence On 313
He was certainly a guy who caught my attention at the time and I went on liking for time afterward. I liked The Garden LP best I think.

Re: (313) 2of2 re: sharing music vs. DJ ego re: Hypersampling
It's also easy to be distracted by audio-geekery and too many choices available. I think there is so much value in that one sentence, it bears repeating ad infinitum. The possibilities are so endless in 2008, that a number of undesirable by-products has emerged... Most significantly, much like the current state of Hollywood movies, it's so easy to fall into the trap of getting wrapped up in to the concept of technical brilliance and completely lose the entertainment value in the process. In Hollywood (well, LOTS of movies, really...no need to restrict it), the goal is ticket sales. Butts in seats. On television, it's faces in front of screens to watch advertising. In years past, being adept at your craft brought people and the ticket sales or faces in front of screens were the by-products. The tables have turned, and it's the pure spectaclei.e. the concept, not the execution, that brings viewership. Anyone of my/our generation need only look at the last 3 Star Wars movies to prove my point. It wasn't the acting and it CERTAINLY wasn't the dialogue that made those films box office successes. If there were any other name attached to them but George Lucas, those films would've been laughed out of the theater, or worse. The dialogue was absolutely ATTROCIOUS. It was the concept that brought people (including myself) in. The spectacular effects. The story line (which was no surprise if you haven't been living under a rock since 1977)...the end product, when taken at face value, was fairly laughable. This is completely the problem I had with Hawtin's previous mix cd's - they may have been interesting in theory, and clinically perfect, but that's just it. They were clinical. Cold. Sterile. Devoid of any sort of soul or funk. Or entertainment value...For a supposedly dance record, I wasn't in any way motivated to even nod my head at the desk by anything I heard on those recordings. If those recordings had been made by me, or any other non-name, they wouldn't register a blip on the scale. But because of who he is, and his cache of previous successes, the lack of quality was given a pass in the name of progress. I think this was the feeling that a lot of people share when they claim that Hawtin is a product of marketing more than substance. The confusing thing is, he didn't start this way. m On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 9:27 AM, kent williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, I don't know that what I wrote is categorically, deterministically true.

I think there is so much value in that one sentence, it bears repeating ad infinitum. The possibilities are so endless in 2008, that a number of undesirable by-products has emerged... Most significantly, much like the current state of Hollywood movies, it's so easy to fall into the trap of getting wrapped up in to the concept of technical brilliance and completely lose the entertainment value in the process. In Hollywood (well, LOTS of movies, really...no need to restrict it), the goal is ticket sales. Butts in seats. On television, it's faces in front of screens to watch advertising. In years past, being adept at your craft brought people and the ticket sales or faces in front of screens were the by-products. The tables have turned, and it's the pure spectaclei.e. the concept, not the execution, that brings viewership. Anyone of my/our generation need only look at the last 3 Star Wars movies to prove my point. It wasn't the acting and it CERTAINLY wasn't the dialogue that made those films box office successes. If there were any other name attached to them but George Lucas, those films would've been laughed out of the theater, or worse. The dialogue was absolutely ATTROCIOUS. It was the concept that brought people (including myself) in. The spectacular effects. The story line (which was no surprise if you haven't been living under a rock since 1977)...the end product, when taken at face value, was fairly laughable. This is completely the problem I had with Hawtin's previous mix cd's - they may have been interesting in theory, and clinically perfect, but that's just it. They were clinical. Cold. Sterile. Devoid of any sort of soul or funk. Or entertainment value...For a supposedly dance record, I wasn't in any way motivated to even nod my head at the desk by anything I heard on those recordings. If those recordings had been made by me, or any other non-name, they wouldn't register a blip on the scale. But because of who he is, and his cache of previous successes, the lack of quality was given a pass in the name of progress. I think this was the feeling that a lot of people share when they claim that Hawtin is a product of marketing more than substance. The confusing thing is, he didn't start this way. m On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 9:27 AM, kent williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, I don't know that what I wrote is categorically, deterministically true.

It's also easy to be distracted by audio-geekery and too many choices available.

I've been left cold by a lot of his output, and my suspicion is that when he's alone in the studio, the concepts rule over the emotion. I don't feel the same way about his output as you Kent but I'm also not sure I'd agree with the concept over emotion idea either, it just seems to determislistic to suggest that this is the case. It's always difficult to find emotion when you're working with machines in a room by yourself. A techno producer is like an old school photographer -- you make the music, but don't see how it develops until you see how a dance floor reacts.

I heard all the techno founders will be there, Juan, Eddie, Derrick, and Kevin, to accept awards from local, state, and national officials with QA sessions from each, autograph signings, and live performances Also heard there will be a total of 17 DJs... all of whom have seriously influenced the Detroit scene. Just imagine... techno music in the Science Museum's IMAX theater and Planetarium... The event coordinator CDN Communications has access to the entire building except the 4th floor. I heard tickets will be available starting May 5 and can be purchased on pay pal. As soon as I find out how, who and where, I'll let you guys know... As I said, I have a feeling this event will be sold out for sure...

Re: (313) John Foxx Influence On 313
I think Numan has identified Foxx as an influence, ironically. Foxx was leading Ultravox before Gary appeared on the scene. In fact Ultravox worked with Brian Eno before Bowie approached him for Low. He performs old Ultravox stuff in his set (ie pre Midge Ure), his seminal records Underpass Burning Car, and some later material. He is also doing a live score to his Tiny Colour Movies in Melbourne at ACMI on Friday night if anyone is around! Foxx's MySpace and site are pretty cool. Juan and Carl are even mentioned in his bio so he's obviously aware of Detroit sounds. Also I read an amazing interview with Numan in Mojo lately where he discussed his having Asperger's syndrome, a kind of autism from what I understand - totally changes your understanding of his music.
