Re: (313) Mad Mike interview

2008-09-09 Thread Andy Mitchell
 BBC do exactly the same thing for podcasts of previously recorded radio
 shows.

 A podcast is a download, not listened to live, it's not a performance
 licence that's required by Radio NZ. UR needs to be able to collect for
 the use of their material from the listener, from the downloader.

You're right Pauley, there is a difference, but as I already mentioned it
seems that no-one can even offer streaming archived shows here (which is
what the BBC offer for all of their music shows). Legally at least.

It seems bizarre that the reason for this should be that the industry have
no mechanism in place. I'm guessing it's just not profitable enough for
them. It makes you wonder though - if none of the record industry
organisations here have the power to grant authorisation for streaming
audio, do any of them have the power to stop anyone from just going ahead
and doing it? And would any one artist or label (especially an independent
one) go the effort and expense of doing anything about it?

Not that I'm suggesting that RNZ should be the ones to push the envelope,
but maybe one of the forward thinking independent stations like the
b.net or George FM could feel out the limits of the law...



Re: (313) Mad Mike interview

2008-09-08 Thread Andy Mitchell
 Why no license fee waiver? Was it even an issue? Seems unlikely the
 ISP/website would even be anywhere near being sued for airing the
 tracks.

 Odd.

 They won't let you waiver - music is music to mcps/prs etc and they do
 close people down for it.

This is a New Zealand site remember, so it's controlled by local
organisation RIANZ not any American organisation. I'm guessing their fees
are equally prohibitive though, because *no-one* offers podcasts or even
streaming archived shows here unless they consist purely of talk.

I was just being cheeky by calling Radio New Zealand out on it - they're
not really a music station, as opposed to something like BBC's Radio 1 or
1Xtra for whom it's obviously worth the effort.

Radio New Zealand do on occasion obtain artist waivers. There are some
good live recordings of local and visiting artists here:
http://www.radionz.co.nz/popular/music/live

The music in Mike's interview wasn't all his though, so I guess they
couldn't do it in this case.

It is kinda crazy too, that they can archive music review features but
only with all of the music cut out!!

On the upside, my mate who is a proper UR fan also recorded an interview
with Mike over the weekend, and it will be posted online once cut to some
music tracks (we did a Theo Parrish one which was posted here a couple of
years ago). Might take a minute, but I'll let you all know once it's
ready...

So I did some snooping and the local situation is this (turned out it was
an organisation called Phonographic Performances New Zealand who control
broadcast licenses here):

 PPNZ does not have an existing assignment to blanket licence podcasts at
 the present time. Any broadcaster seeking to make available music on
 demand is required to seek the permission of the individual copyright
 owners concerned.

So it's more or less impossible to archive music radio online from
here!Madness...

Re: (313) Online ecord stores

2008-04-19 Thread Andy Mitchell
 i should mention that turntable lab often has a lot of obscure
 represses and hipster disco, and of course they have almost all dfa
 releases.

I have mentioned here before (but still haven't yet got it out of my
system!) that I was shafted by TTL twice in a row so stopped ordering from
them and would warn others against doing so.

The most recent incident involved them claiming my package was returned to
them by the US postal service because it posed a security threat (I live
in New Zealand, second only to Norway on the Global Peace Index -
http://www.visionofhumanity.com/rankings/). TTL decided this was somehow all
my fault despite the package having got no further than their local post
office, so informed me that if I wanted my records I had to pay for the
postage again!! But of course they couldn't guarantee the same wouldn't
happen a second time. And they wouldn't refund the postage after I told them
to keep the damned things.

Interestingly, this all came to pass after I enquired why, according to my
account status on their website, the records hadn't been shipped several
weeks after I ordered them. They refused to give me any evidence of shipment
so I could take it up with the shipping company instead. In fact, they
refused to acknowledge any of my emails for a period of months until I gave
up and had my credit card take action to reverse the charges.

I had a sneaking suspicion the whole time that they had simply forgotten to
process my order and were trying to cover up with some bullsh*t story when I
asked them about it. In that case a simple apology would have been more
suitable. Ironically, I was trying to use a credit note from my previous
order which was also problematic.

Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend those fools. It seems their quality
control went out the window when they went big time with the second LA
warehouse.

 government - there's also New Zealand. NZ banned US warships from their
 ports two decades ago. i highly recommend the place. How did recloose like
 living in NZ?

U mean how *does* Recloose like living in NZ? He still lives there.

Chart from http://www.antipodeanrecords.net a while ago:

Recloose's Top 10 reasons to leave USA/Detroit and live in NZ

1. Being in love (ashux...)
2. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, neo-conservativism, new imperialism, the Patriot
Act, code orange, Fox News etc. etc. (no-brainer here...)
3. Good clean living in NZ except for the pies
4. Rugby is far superior a sport to American football
5. Being woken up by the wind is better than being woken up by gunshots
6. The scenery
7. Its about the best place in the world to be reclusive
8. Lots of musicians in Wellington
9. Good vibes, man
10. Sheep



(313) Plastikman vs Plasticman?

2004-10-15 Thread Andy Mitchell
Just spotted this on the Red Bull Music Academy website:

First up on the couch today, is 22-year-old Croydon Grime producer/DJ Chris
Reed a/k/a recent Rephlex signing Plasticman (with a 'c' my friends, with a
'c'). Chris talked about the evolution of UK Garage music - which if you're
not following it with a magnifying glass you'd be forgiven for being
confused about as it seems every second day there is some new sub-sub-sub
genre terminology being bandied about. But as Chris puts it, it's not
sub-lo, it's not eski, it's not 8-bar, it's all about grime, man.

(313) Rotating Assembly

2004-03-02 Thread Andy Mitchell
 So who has release dates or advance tease-me reviews of his new album, the
 Rotator Assembly album or the 12 on Harmony Park (I think)??? How much is
 Theo set to take over the world in '04?

I have the Rotating Assembly album. It's out in Japan already. At least, I
have the first vinyl triple pack... there will be two! Not sure exactly how
the tracklisting on this compares to the CD which is also out here on
P-Vine, but Theo told me that there would be extra tracks on the vinyl
packs.

Actually, after a quick Google search I just found tracklistings for both on
Cisco Records' site, where I guess anyone who's extra keen might be able to
order it from (although I know some JP shops don't export):

CD:
1Mess I Made
2Naturally
3Take Me
4The Stomp
5KIngs Dance
6Split Me Open
7The Rust Orgaaanic
8Ascension
9Illumination
10  Orchestra Hall
11  Melt

VINYL (PART 1):
1Melt
2Split Me Open
3Mess I Made (instrumental)
4Orchestral Hall
5Take Me
6Naturally
7The Stomp

And they have audio samples too:

http://www.cisco-records.co.jp/cgi/item_detail.php?qId=46968

There's a nice range of tracks on offer for sure. Different tempos,
different feels. About 50/50 vocal and instrumental. Of the vocal tracks I
like Genevieve Marantette's track Split Me Open best, but the other
vocalists are good too (Take Me is another favourite) and Theo says Sound
Signature full-lengths will be forthcoming from most of them. The
instrumental band tracks are cool too. I like the collaboration with
Canadian band King Sunshine - Mess I Made, and The Stomp is another dope
organic track featuring a guitarist named Dumminie and some of the guys from
Jazzhead. And as for Orchestral Hall... maybe some of y'all have heard
this one already - it's a sick, sick, heavy strings session that's bound to
become a classic.

Also, I have a one hour interview with Theo in the can, recorded a couple of
weeks back in Kyoto. I was gonna wait until I had a chance to edit it up
with some tracks and stuff before I posted something here, but the promoters
of Theo's upcoming Wellington, New Zealand show have jumped the gun and
posted it on their website in it's full rough form so I guess you can go
ahead and check it out if you want... http://www.matterhorn.co.nz/Theo.ram
Excuse my own sickness on the mic, I came down with an evil flu straight
after Theo's Osaka show. His latest tour here was by all accounts huge. The
Osaka show was off the hook and I heard he pulled a couple of thousand
punters in Tokyo.

Of particular interest to some may be the Ugly Edits news towards the end of
the interview ;)

Oh, and I'm sure you Aussies might get a laugh out of Theo's anticipations
for heading down under... I sure did.

that there is my beanfield remix (of course), throbbing gristle 'hot on the

which is an exclusive to this show (as far as i know). there are also tracks
from jaylib, cat stevens, buju banton, dick hyman, and flying lizards. it's
up to the listeners to decipher who and what each track is. the above titles
are played in order. the other artist list are not played in order. i like
the concept that music should be searched out with some ignorance like with
finding a treasure map to the lost treasure of captain hookmaguck.

They've remixed I Believe In You and sped it up considerably which doesn't

 no, but it sounds appetizing.

I just tracked it down myself - fourth track in on Domu's latest DJ mix at

arthur russell - living in the light
theo parrish - lost keys
brentford all stars - greedy g
axis choir - see the sun

am feat sky - choose to believe [dub]
deepah ones - rain dub
joni mitchell - jungle line
4tet - seroius as your life [jay dilla mix]
robb scott - fallin [domu re-edit]

I'm loving that Jay Dee remix of Fourtet. Heavy heavy bassline and super
crisp drums :) Looking forward to checking more from Domu's Umod project
this year too. There's an album due on Sonar Kollektiv.

 i wasnt too impressed with the 2 recent kaidi + dego 12s, but i
 guess theyre alright.

I loved Got Me Puzzled myself, but the new one doesn't really live up to

RE: (313) Re: amp fiddler album

2003-12-13 Thread Andy Mitchell
 some classic tales in there like the realisation
 that he *did* know Moodyman and the stolen J-Dilla zips story
 
 oh, forgot to ask, what is this story??
 
 is it good gossip? come on, I'm bored.

The Dilla story? OK, paraphrased cos you asked so nicely:

Amp hooks up young Dilla with his first MPC and lessons on how to use it.
Also introduces him to Q-Tip, kickstarting a path to beatmaking
superstardom. Dilla owes Amp a favour and promises to work on an album if
Amp ever makes one.

Amp starts to make album but Dilla is too busy to help. And then...

Some kid who works in a Detroit barbershop asks Amp to produce a demo. Says
he bought 10 zips from a dude for $100 and if Amp produces his demo he can
keep 'em. Later when checking out the zips Amp recognises them as Dilla
beats. Calls Dilla and says I've got all your zips! Whassup?. Dilla
explains that someone broke into his house and stole some zips and tells Amp
You can have 'em.

But wait, there's more! Amp chooses a beat and makes it into the title track
of Waltz Of The Ghetto Fly. All along he's thinking I know this track from
somewhere, I've heard it before. A buddy comes by and says, Yeah I know
that track, it's from Q-Tip's Amplified album!. Coincidently, one of Amp's
companies is called Amplified.

Hear the Dilla/Q-Tip joint:

Hear the Dilla/Amp twist (guitar by John Arnold):
http://www.groovedis.com/lp/ampfiddler/waltz/b2.ram

Ta da! By the way, a few months ago in Hiroshima I found a second hand 7 by
Mr Fiddler of, you guessed it, Waltz Of The Ghetto Fly which was released
by a French major about a decade ago. Has anyone checked Amp's old Mr
Fiddler album from circa 1990/91? It's often available dirt cheap on Ebay.

ACADEMY DAILY DIARY 
Term 2, Day Four
Wednesday, 26 November 2003

Our next lecturer used to be 'Ampadelic' when he did keys and vocals for
George Clinton in Parliament and Funkadelic. Now he is Amp Fiddler, and he's
still pushing the envelope, taking dance music in new directions thanks to
his extensive experience. Once I got my head together and jumped ship on
the party, I realised there was business to be made. As far as your
ambitions, Whatever you say, is what is. Amp Fiddler persisted in making
boxes full of demos on 4, 8 and 16 tracks, following his dream until he got
the break he needed, and while a legend in his own right by now, he¹s still
searching and looking to grow. The new challenge is to forge innovations in
electronic music, to develop what he does as a vocalist, and to convince his
friends that dance is more than a 'gay house music entity'.

Working with artists like Carl Craig and Moodyman was Amp's first
introduction to this dance thing, and he found that he had to adapt his
approach. Generally I'd go in there and there'd be keyboards and a drum
machine. The track would already be done, it just needed something to fill
up the space to get where they wanted in terms of colour. So I had to go on
the dancefloor and research to find out what colours I needed. Because
otherwise I could add something that would be totally too dark or totally
too bright. I had to learn when to stop- musicians like to play too much. I
had to think less about playing and more about how to add to the track. To
think economically, and rhythmically.

Now Amp Fiddler is making his own ground-breaking house music, which he
tours with a live band. In Europe the band would say 'Shall we leave out
the down tempo songs', and in the U.S they'd want to play more downtempo
songs, but I want to try and expose people to two different worlds. Two
different genres at the same time: one that they love, and one that they're
learnin' from.



(313) Darshan Jesrani spills the beans

2003-11-11 Thread Andy Mitchell
The Red Bull Music Academy is currently in session in South Africa, and
they're throwing up content on their website thick and fast...
Just found this half hour video interview from a couple of days ago:

---

Then it's Metro Area code 718 - the first lecture of the day to be given by
Minto's pal and all round funky guy, Darshan Jesrani (see lecture stream
here). The music of Metro Area is well known for having warm unquantized
elements fused into something soulful yet electronic and spacey. Today
Darshan shared some of his own favourites that fit this description, such as
Freeez featuring John Rocca. He linked them to a discussion of the way in
which early dance music and certain contemporary producers approached their
composition. Darshan also had some excellent advice for budding producers on
how to crack arrangement. He suggested ways to find the seed idea of music,
in order to get yourself out of loop jail.

DSL: http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/ramfile/darshan_jesrani_DSL.html

---

It's a nice little insight with Darshan spinning tunes and dropping plenty
of knowledge and history.

One of the first things I did with my sampler was I sampled a beat from a
U2 record and I taped the key down so it would repeat. And I'd play little
sounds over it and I was like 'OK, I'm making music :)

The Academy site is well worth digging around in. There's production tips
from Carl Craig and Dego, software demos by John Acquaviva and Ectomorph
etc.

RE: (313) mixer advice

2002-12-05 Thread Andy Mitchell
 however, you cant record .wav files with it which
 i know you can do with other Archos products, it only goes up to
 320 kbs VBR mp3 recording. which is still pretty good, just
 not .wav 

I could be wrong, but isn't 320 kbs more or less uncompressed? So the sound
quality should be up there with a .wav, even though it's not the actual
format.

 You should go to Rushhour as well, apart from new

 Adress is Spuistraat 130, right in the centre.

And anyone who's not checked out Rush Hour's site lately may be interested

(313) The Detroit Experiment

2002-11-18 Thread Andy Mitchell
Has this been mentioned on the list already? Sure looks good to me... I
found the Philadelphia Experiment album a bit samey, but they've widened the
scope for this one and it looks pretty dope. I'm definitely feeling the
C2-produced jazz tracks Space Odyssey' and Midnight At The Twenty Grand.

By the way, I found this on a website called Renaissance Soul, which is new
to me but looks pretty interesting for all of y'all who have been talking
about Detroit hip-hop lately - www.rensoul.com

And finally, while searching for more info on Ropeadope's site I stumbled
across this:

A Tale Of Two Cities:
King Britt and Carl Craig will spin at SHINE in New York City on Wednesday,
Nov 20. Together, they are the unbeatable one-two punch of electronic music.
If you live in NYC, be there or be salty. More info at

The Detroit Experiment
produced by Carl Craig, Karriem Riggins  Aaron Levinson
Ropeadope Records

The Way Me Make Music
12 single - December 2002

Album - February 2002

Following the success of the critically acclaimed Philadelphia Experiment,
Ropeadope's newest music lab is the city of Detroit. With a core band that
includes the founding fathers (and mothers) from the Motor City including
jazz legends Marcus Belgrave, Regina Carter, Gerri Allen, Bennie Maupin, and
more, the roots of the Detroit sound were brought back to the future by
DJ/Producer Carl Craig, and UMA member Karriem Riggins (Slum Village) who
recorded the band over a period of five days at the legendary White Room
Studio in downtown Detroit. The results are spellbinding, mind-blowing and a
true testament to the past, present, and future of the music of Detroit. The
full-length will be released by Ropeadope in February 2003. 

Until then, we present to you a little taste: The Karriem Riggins (Slum
Village) produced The Way We Make Music featuring Michigan's own MC
Invincible with some help from the Athletic Mic League. Not neglecting
Detroit's contribution to the world of Funk, the Detroit Experiment covers
Church which the funk-rock-fusion track that will please the most
discerning of funk fans. The B-side features the talents of Carl Craig
reinterpreting the Marcus Belgrave jazz fun classic titled Space Odyssey
with some help from Marcus himself. The experiment also captured the essence
of real Detroit jazz which can be felt by the flute driven Midnight at the
Twenty Grand. The final track on the B-side is Space Break which takes a
small section of the drum break from Space Odyssey and leaves it open for
producers and DJ's to sample.

Look for the full-length debut of the Detroit Experiment in February 2003
and watch for the national tour coming to a city near you.

(313) All Ugly Edits in stock

2002-11-07 Thread Andy Mitchell
I thought that some of you might be interested to know that Forced Exposure
(http://www.forcedexposure.com) listed Ugly Edits 1, 2 and 3 in their
restocks this week. They're selling at US$18 a pop, which is apparently what
they've been retailing at all along.

On a side note, someone from this list sent me a warning about Forced
Exposure the day after I had ordered UGE001 from them when it first dropped,
but I'd like to mention that it turned up on time, in perfect condition and
packaged better than any other mail order shipment I've ever received.

I've still not picked up 002 and 003... Are they good?

Does anyone know where I can pick up a copy of Strand's first EP on their

one of the tracks is. A quick Google search could only find it in a few

Who are Strand anyways? They played at the DEMF this year, right?

Branden M. Gillan, alias Ectomorph, explains the source of energy found in
Detroit music and Detroit people. Starting with a rough layout of the social
situation and its effects on the artists there, he stresses the importance
of the radio mix shows in the mid-to-late 80s, their influence on Detroit
DJs like Derrick May, and the way Detroit Techno has been shaped.
