Re: (313) John Tejada 7th City reissues
I couldn't possibly disagree with this more. His most recent Parabolas (Kompakt) from last year was pretty much my favorite record of last year. I get the Plaid comparisons but I see them as just influences and his stuff is far, far more interesting to me than whatever Plaid are doing nowadays (if their live show is any indication). - Greg Disclaimer: I've been good friends with John and his wife Lynn for over 16 years and yes I'm f'in biased! defo that you're biased! haven't got around to that album yet, but, on kent williams' recommendation to the list, i did get the single, unstable condition. think i liked the b side more - nice melancholic touch to it.
(313) sistrum
patrice scott's sistrum label is one that i've not paid too much
attention to, to my own cost. i am trying to remedy that now. it's my
flavour of the month at the moment, along with emphasis records (thank
you, bandcamp). any other labels like this that i should be keeping an
eye on - what about aesthetic audio? and underground quality (always
mixing up dj qu and jus-ed)? can anyone point me towards essential
releases from these labels, that are available digitally?
heard a tazz track ('lost' from the world of techno ep) used on a mix
- that's exactly the kind of stuff i'm looking for, if anyone is aware
of it.

Re: (313) Big sigh.
but you are probably less perfect than Juan. Sorry. i think you meant less talented? it sounds like you are confusing him with moses or whoeverhe is not an especially talented dj...everybody knows that...and juan isn't either.. jb was rightthe mix is garbage...tepid generic clubbiness with an underwhelming sprinkle of detroit flavor here and there...not great techno...but personally i set the bar is pretty low for Juan and this isn't as awful as he can be, or kevin saunderson-level shitty...it's listenable... but there are plenty of superior dj's on the 313-list and all over the place...every couple years you hear juan is dj'ing cool stuff but this looks/sounds like a promo mix for euro-club giggin......nobody is judging juan for his dj'ing or wack taste, it's nothing new, he's a still a crazy genius for his own productions..remember this tho http://www.discogs.com/Juan-Atkins-Wax-Trax-MasterMix-Volume-1/release/3001 so it's fair to hope he'd play some higher quality stuff...like real elitist techno...thats what i want.. jt

RE: (313) sistrum
You had me until you said digital! ;)
I am not sure which of these are available digitally but you should check out
(if you haven't already) the first Underground Anthems record on Sistrum. I
haven't heard everything on that label but it is my favorite so far. The new
one on Emphasis sounds excellent but I don't think it is out yet. Still
familiarizing myself with the older Aesthetic Audio releases although I picked
up Moments in Rhythm #2 in Detroit over the holidays and like it a lot.
Underground Quality has a lot of releases. I think CT Beat Down by Jus-Ed and
the Smallpeople release are very, very good. Altered Moods, Downbeat, Drumpoet
Community, Jersey Underground, and some of the Sushitech releases are in
similar vein.
Cheers,
John

Re: (313) sistrum
Aiden, John,
Funny you sent this today, the same day I received 5 of the Sistrum back
catalogue thru a discogs seller (happy deep days!) Yes, become one of my
favourite labels in the last couple of years and now Im back in to vinyl im
trying to get all the good stuff. Im also a big collector of KW's
Aesthetic Audio.Both labels to to cater for my deep/dub techno and deep
house tastes, evidently merging the two styles effortlessy.Aesthetic
perhaps a bit more of tech-house vibe and more melodic.
In my experience the 2nd hand prices on discogs reflect the quality of the
releases. But a few personal picks here:
Sistrum:
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Underground-Anthems-EP-Vol-1/release/981199
(essential)
http://www.discogs.com/Patrice-Scott-Excursions-EP/release/1793874
http://www.discogs.com/XDB-Espac/release/1233671
Aesthetic Audio:
http://www.discogs.com/Keith-Worthy-Moments-In-Rhythm-Vol-1/release/1800920
(essential)
http://www.discogs.com/Tony-Lionni-The-Chronicles-Noir/release/1570024
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Abstract-Art-Vol-1/release/2743293 (love the
Nick Agha /Climates)
http://www.discogs.com/Miles-Sagnia-The-Sounds-From-The-Abyss-EP/release/1957808
(essential)
Great shout on Altered Moods John, another favourite and i know they have a
slew of new great releases over the coming months.Steve Tang, Specter,
Matthew Wieck, Malcolm Moore and a few new artists too.
This are my pick of the released stuff
http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Pancake-Sessions/release/1545222
http://www.discogs.com/2DeepSoul-The-Deepness/release/2720300
A few other labels on a similar vibe for me are
Fred P's: Soul People Music
Uzuri
Third Ear
Soul People Music
Ethereal Sound
Quintessentials
ive also become a follower of Anton Zap who's putting out stuff across various
labels. the Anton Zap EP on UQ and I Get No Kick From Champagne are
recommended!
also check out new Russian Label Rawax
I cant really comment on DL's but have sourced a bit of this stuff through
Boomkat
Happy hunting digging

Re: (313) sistrum
Greetings people, I'm very happy to hear people talking about these labels.
I will second the recommendations Quintessentials, Sushitech, Uzuri,
Third Ear, and all the stuff associated with Qu, Fred-P, Jus Ed, and
Levon Vincent (Underground Quality, but also Soul People Music, and
Strength Music Recordings)... Smallville and Dial are nice as well.
There are also definitely some good things happening with deeper
sounds in Chicago, Hakim Murphy, Specter, Chicago Skyway, and Steven
Tang definitely come to mind. It is a little weird because Chi is so
segregated I only learned that these guys were here making solid music
recently!

Definatley - I would add Tevo Howard to the list of Chicagoans. He doesn't seem
to run much with the group Dave notes below but still putting out nice deep

Thanks for the link Jacob, good read. I liked the bit about sharing 1200's :) Ive heard him play a couple of times and the second time was especially good for Bleep 43 in London.A very deep set infused with subtle acid lines throughout and one of my favourite sets in recent times. A

Re: (313) Big sigh.
Yeah sometimes he just comes out with great track selection, and that's really all I ask for really. Luckily for me every time I've seen him over the past 10 years he's played some great tracks. Most recently in Sydney (last year at the Marrickville bowling club) he even mixed pretty damn well as well as having a good selection. So I think it really depends on the club, and the style.
