Re: New 313-relevant stuff

[John Sokolowski]

Great recommendations all around! Glad to read all of the talk about Strand. 
They don't really miss.

Suburban Knight's rework of Prince's Erotic City, Derotic City is pretty fun to 
my ears: https://detroittechno.bandcamp.com/album/listening-systems

Also like the sound of Mike Schommer's brand new one: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9nzY22thQY

Stumbled upon this MM mix from a few years ago the other day that I didn't know 
existed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c04U4MY6lVg It is a longer version of 
a similar track on the digital version of Taken Away.

And have also really been enjoying Brian Kage's stuff lately: 
https://michigandermusic.bandcamp.com/ His productions vary a lot in terms of 
style which I like. He has also done a lot with Luke Hess as Reference, Omar S 
and has been mastering quite a few Detroit records as of late including those 
from Norm Talley and Delano Smith.

I'm by no means an authority on Strand, but they had a release on Frictional 
and one of those tracks "Zephyr" was also on the True People comp as Kech and 
B. Bonds back in the day. That was my intro to them in any case. It looks like 
Brian Bonds was replaced by Brian Boyer along the way.

Yo.

A couple of (313) things I thought people would want to know about.

New Strand https://strand313.bandcamp.com/album/silicon

Newish Russ Gabriel on Ferox.
https://russgabriel.bandcamp.com/album/off-centre. I like his other recent
stuff, but this is back on top form for me. Like he is drifting somewhere
in between his '00s less techy output (of which I am a huge admirer) and
the recent return to techno.

Some Nuron releases I'd missed. https://nuron.bandcamp.com/music. There is
also a new 2x12" Likemind reissue that I need to pick up before it goes
https://www.rubadub.co.uk/records/likemind-06.

Placid Angels - Touch the Sky
https://figure-music.bandcamp.com/album/touch-the-earth (note, for some
reason the digital release is priced much higher at Bandcamp than other
stores for some reason I am struggling to fathom).

Kyle Hall's MPC Dreams https://kylehall.bandcamp.com/album/mpc-dreams

Urban Tribe reissue (which is incredible)
https://urbantribe.bandcamp.com/album/urban-tribe

Loads of other great stuff about presently, but this was the topical stuff
I don't think I've seen mentioned.

Cheers,

Tristan

Re: New 313-relevant stuff

[Tristan Watkins]

I forgot to mention the new Reggie Dokes as well.
https://reggiedokes.bandcamp.com/

It's superb. I forgot to mention it because I balked at the $28 digital
cost, and picked it up at Juno after my latest Bandcamp haul. I always try
to support artists directly, but being asked to pay this much extra through
Bandcamp baffles me a bit. I've probably spent far too much time pondering
this question lately, and suppose maybe this is a Patreon-alike approach,
but I really struggle to wrap my head around paying this much of a premium
for digital content. Dunno... Not wishing to start a thing, just something
that also cropped up recently with the Placid Angels album. I know Reggie
Dokes encouraged people to buy directly through Bandcamp for this release,
so thought it was only fair to share that link, but thought I should own up
about not buying it there myself...

In any case, the new album is great, and you should buy it somewhere.

Re: Drexciya

[gavin morrissey]

I'm glad there was a response that carries some kind of weight. That
article was an outrageous and unjustified slur on Clone, who have been
supportive of Drexciya and Detroit techno since the early 90s. It is known
that Drexciya, Dopplereffekt and all the offshoots made considered choices
when deciding what labels would release their music, Clone was one of them.

It also seems to be calling out Abdul Haqq and his graphic novel, which I
had assumed was legit and approved.

I guess they didn't like the Ars Technica article too much. Can't say I
blame them.
