Re: (313) Drexciyan door bell
Tight drums and a nice track, definitely can feel the Stinson influences. I tried to reshare but track is private On May 9, 2013 4:44 AM, Steven Robertson stev...@me.com wrote: I made a few sketches on ableton last night and this track stands out as being more Drexciya-inspired that anything else I've done so far. http://soundcloud.com/kerr-knoll/004-1/s-zlZ7D It's an electro drum pattern. The door bell sound immediately reminded me of a track of the Neptune's Lair album. I guess the rest could sound similar to some of this material. I'm a Piscean, if that matters at all. Certainly something in the Drexciyan sound that strikes a chord with me. Maybe it's something to do with that. Maybe it's something else.
Re: (313) Drexciyan door bell
Issues with Soundcloud. I suspect the new Soundcloud is taking it's time to distribute it's content via it's CDN. I don't think the old Soundcloud uses a CDN so it's probably more reliable (maybe that's a workaround).I can't use the new Soundcloud at all at work due to CDN bugs!It's a secret link and sharing the link should work.On May 09, 2013, at 11:51 AM, Jeff Davis j...@jeffreyjdavis.com wrote:Tight drums and a nice track, definitely can feel the Stinson influences.I tried to reshare but track is privateOn May 9, 2013 4:44 AM, "Steven Robertson" stev...@me.com wrote:I made a few sketches on ableton last night and this track stands out as being more Drexciya-inspired that anything else I've done so far.http://soundcloud.com/kerr-knoll/004-1/s-zlZ7DIt's an electro drum pattern.

Re: (313) Drexciyan door bell
I see other weird stuff going on with Soundcloud and so I'm now sharing all 4 new sketches publicly. I've not enabled download links since they are rough and unfinished work. I'll re-think my sharing strategy.http://soundcloud.com/kerr-knoll/sets/sketchesOn May 09, 2013, at 11:55 AM, "Steven Robertson" stev...@me.com wrote:Issues with Soundcloud.

Re: (313) Drexciyan door bell
Nope, old SoundCloud used CDNs too. They round-robin between a few different CDNs (at least on the new one), and if the CDN's edge node near you is unreachable, then you lose!

Re: (313) Drexciyan door bell
True, I noticed those CDN links on the old Soundcloud after having suggested that earlier. My problems with the new site are to do with some more secure streaming protocol. It's frustrating trying to share stuff this way and being additional problems. It doesn't appear to be getting better.On May 09, 2013, at 02:50 PM, Matthew Kane m...@hydrogenproject.com wrote:Nope, old SoundCloud used CDNs too.

Techno- especially Detroit-related Drum n Bass Goth/Punk IDM I prefer CDs, but I do buy vinyl as well.

RE: (313) Movement, Music and Detroit
I’ve never found much IDM in Detroit but for those other genres I’d recommend the following spots for vinyl (can’t really comment on CDs): Stormy Records in Dearborn Goth/Punk + plenty more rock vinyl Record Collector in Ferndale I’ve found quite a lot of very good condition old techno 12”s here over the years People’s Records on Woodward Quite a random mix of industrial, old techno and drum and bass (e.g. Reinforced) can be found in the dollar bins but you’ve got to dig Street Corner in Oak Park Found plenty of old techno here + they sell quite a lot of CDs From: Darnistle McKuik [mailto:darnis...@gmail.com] Sent: 09 May 2013 16:21 To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) Movement, Music and Detroit Techno- especially Detroit-related Drum n Bass Goth/Punk IDM I prefer CDs, but I do buy vinyl as well.

Re: (313) Movement, Music and Detroit
You definitely want to hit Stormy, but make sure you get there before the weekend because they close on Sunday and Monday that weekend. If you get in touch with Windy she will go out of her way to give you a comprehensive list of the remaining record stores in Detroit. Record Collector closed their doors earlier this year. m On Thu, May 9, 2013 at 12:14 PM, Daniel Bean daniel.b...@bbc.co.uk wrote: I’ve never found much IDM in Detroit but for those other genres I’d recommend the following spots for vinyl (can’t really comment on CDs): ** ** Stormy Records in Dearborn Goth/Punk + plenty more rock vinyl ** ** Record Collector in Ferndale I’ve found quite a lot of very good condition old techno 12”s here over the years ** ** People’s Records on Woodward Quite a random mix of industrial, old techno and drum and bass (e.g. Reinforced) can be found in the dollar bins but you’ve got to dig ** ** Street Corner in Oak Park Found plenty of old techno here + they sell quite a lot of CDs ** ** *From:* Darnistle McKuik [mailto:darnis...@gmail.com] *Sent:* 09 May 2013 16:21 *To:* 313@hyperreal.org *Subject:* Re: (313) Movement, Music and Detroit ** ** Techno- especially Detroit-related Drum n Bass Goth/Punk IDM I prefer CDs, but I do buy vinyl as well.

Re: (313) Movement, Music and Detroit
Thanks for the suggestions! I've always wanted to check out Stormy Records, but Saturday has traditionally been the day I make the trek out to Flat, Black and Circular in East Lansing then Encore in Ann Arbor on the way back to Detroit, time permitting, before I check out the festival. Perhaps I'll skip Ann Arbor this year and do Dearborn instead. Regardless, over the course of the weekend I'd like to ensure that I go to stores that carry Detroit techno, since Detroit is still the best place for me to shop for it.
