The Electrifying Mojo
Yo 313, Some archival radio recordings from The Electrifying Mojo and The Wizard are available on the below mixcloud channel. When I heard about Mojo some 5 or so years ago there were really minimal recordings online, despite the measure of his influence. I was pretty thrilled to discover more recordings were made available. https://www.mixcloud.com/tony-romanov/ There must be more recordings about? Anyone care to direct me to them? I would also be interested to hear any of the lists reflections on or memories of Mojo. I doubt I can still get my MFA ID card but would love to have one. Porch light is ON, Reuben
Movement Needle Drop
Did anyone watch Movement’s Needle Drop about social change? I love Seth Troxler. It’s pretty timely. I mean, you always gotta be educating about human rights. And, it’s so fun to listen to artists talk about their art. Denise -- Denise Dalphond, Ph. D. ethnomusicologist schoolcraftwax.work
Re: Techno links from a Black perspective (fixed)
I'm really looking forward to checking out those links from the first two emails. Thanks to Andrew and Denise for sharing. Are there any particular favourites from those who have got into them? Sjoerd it seems absolutely WILD to me that you can ostensibly say 'keep politics out of dance music' (I quote "The last time I've seen talk about techno music .. well, I can't remember the last time (techno) music", "Social Justice Bandwagon"). You also speak about racism against white people because someone said "whitesplaining" - really, now, at a time LIKE THIS you're making that an issue?! You then sign out "Stay UR", pf. It looks a certain way. I feel somewhat uneasy that, on a Detroit Techno list, people are more willing to chip on Denise's tone. It would probably be better if people managed to find Denise's well meaning posts less offensive, or simply ignored them. There are certainly those who find offense way beyond measure. Then the flame war starts. Every time one of these arguments breaks out the blame is laid by many at her door, often unfairly. These arguments take up way too much space on the list. There is little good will between the main participants. Subscribers leave. I'm not really sure if I have much more to add, that's how it looks to me, and I would prefer if my minimal list contributions were not exclusively for the flame war. If it continues please can we maintain perspective: there are many more important things going on at the moment.

Apologies + Playlist
First, just want to apologize for my previous outbursts. I was going through a really hard time, and I was in a seriously bad place, but nevertheless it was totally uncalled for to blow up at people on the list. At the end of the day I'm a musician and I'm here to share the music I love with others, not to indulge in fruitless arguments that get us all pissed off instead of bringing us together. To make amends, here's a selection of list appropriate music I've been listening to recently (RIP Mike Huckaby): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhnGAPpntkk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXJMZwR_6fM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj97KfjQRGM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0uNhjyvCL8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptzTSvAyov8 ~David

The new Moodymann album is excellent IMHO. His best full length in a looong time. Also been digging almost everything on Exalt Records as of late. W1b0’s new EP Heretofore arrived today and it also very, very good. Plus is it is on red marbled wax with Star Wars Death Troopers on the labels! Death Troopers! So sick. ;)
Re: Techno links from a Black perspective (fixed)
@Denise no, i haven't read your work; your disseration is not why I signed up for this list. I just read and see how your occasional tantrums on this list are rarely about music and are mostly about what *you* did and your need to best anyone on every subject (a common occurence of people with a Ph. D.). You add drama in every conversation on here and frankly, I'm fucking done with this asinine bullshit behaviour. It's not why I'm on here; I want to read this and enjoy the contributions of people, either it being about techno or techno related stuff. @Holly did you really just hurl "whitesplaining" at me? Can I explain to you how that's racist, or would I be 'whitesplaining' again? Seriously though; Music is a language and the producers of Techno tell their story through that. If they'd, or anyone else, feel the need to write words on it, then they will. But they don't, because they just want to make the BOOM BOOM BOOM instead of all this YAP YAP YAP. For both Denise & Holly; if you want to discuss this further, let's take it to a private place. @Kent I don't like bringing this up, but this is THE mailinglist for Detroit Techno music, right? The last time I've seen talk about techno music .. well, I can't remember the last time (techno) music was discussed and it bugs me because I like listening to new, good techno music. Don't we all? And about that Techno music.. here's some sweet tunes: *Sansibar - Meri * A producer from Finland who was born somewhere in Africa. Dreamy, lush pads and bleeps over a solid deep, driving bass and drum foundation. *Earth to Mickey - Brace & Bit * Hi-energy, funky italo-discoesque track with good synth work and some good vocals that come with it *The Advent - Vast* This is one of those space pod tracks, where you just feel like gliding and bobbing down the highway of some metallic futureland. Great connector track to continue unleashing the fury in your DJ set *Muzz - Bizarre Love Pentangle* Something I spotted while listening to SomaFM. A real nice blend of soul/jazz with a twist of electronics. Nice calming down in these strange, trying times. Stay UR and hopefully we'll meet on a dancefloor one day

Perspective
Sometimes articles written by others can help our understanding of the stories behind musical activities. But I honestly think the best way to understand the ideas of the musicians is to just listen to the music. All the academia in the world won't give you anything better than the amazing feelings you get from your favourite music. Music is beyond words anyway

You said it well. Denise deserves respect and attention. I've made myself clear in the last e-mail what I would like to see happen, and now I regret even posting that on-list.

Re: Fwd: Techno links from a Black perspective (fixed)
I rarely chime in on the list but trend towards paying attention when I can. For many, it can be really difficult to cut through the 'noise' that happens on a daily basis, as we are 100% inundated with information about nearly any and every subject we could be interested in, and some we're not. Maybe the choice of words "perspective" may have been in some ways incomplete/misleading, however the intent was understood by me to be one of a noble and humble nature. Most people don't have the time in their modern life to collect all of the reading documents and take the deeper dive necessary to understand any subject. Unfortunately, not all techno people are academics-but many are curious, which is a great trait for anyone academically-minded. That said, I LOVE Dr. Denise, and you all should know that she 'keeps that same energy' for EVERYTHING...as Ethnomusicology is also her life's work. If many had as much passion and persistence to rely on, we'd all probably do much more than we already do. Fire and emotional content aren't easy things to channel. It's taken me years to learn how to choose when and where I call out things I don't like. I've recently done an interview with Peter Kirn and while I had some opportunity to say whatever I chose, I realized that denigrating people can be messy. DWELLER, as a whole, is a useful resource and may get one more person to understand better the history of this music and have a better appreciation for what makes it special and influential. We must all learn together, those who haven't learned the story should, and those who are attempting to be helpful should be encouraged to find other resources that could be more relevant if the ones they share are in some way not. I'm going to say in closing that we all on this list have a duty to understand one another. We have to come together like buttcheeks instead of sniping at each other like the outside world does on a daily basis. We're all here on this list for the music first-But we can also learn from each other. I sincerely hope all of you are well. FBK out.

Re: Fwd: Techno links from a Black perspective (fixed)
On the one hand, Denise has valid points. On the other hand she attacks people who have done nothing but good for the Techno community, has never minimized the contribution of black artists, and has never centered themselves in the discussion. Denise, you need to find a way to make the points you want to make without making other people want to leave the 313 list. I've never wanted to silence anyone on this list and have never banned anyone just for being outspoken, but at this point this list is a shadow of its former self, and a lot of it has to do with people posting things that make people feel uncomfortable. And not the 'questioning my privilege' uncomfortable, like 'being personally attacked without justification' uncomfortable. I don't just see the public posts, I get private e-mails all the time with complaints about other list members. Those are private, but regular list members only see what's on the list. No one can argue with Denise's contribution to music scholarship dealing with black music, and no one should. But being aggressive and disagreeable on the mailing list makes it about you, not about the music or the people.

Re: Techno links from a Black perspective (fixed)
Denise, is there any Social Justice Bandwagon you will not jump on? For the love of the 808, please refrain from this and find common ground in the beauty of this music instead of trying to sow division between people by this racebaiting. I think few people care if the writer of the article has a Black or White skin colour, since what matters is the message, and the message is T-E-C-H-N-O and Unity between people from all walks of life. Andrew, thanks for posting this. A lot has been written on the subject of Detroit Techno and I appreciate someone took the time and effort to collect them all. Seriously, the further we move forward in time, the more I realize that the future about this technological dystopia was already written way back in the 80's, with the origins of Techno in the Motorcity.
