Re: (313) Moritz von Oswald and Derrick May in Washington, DC
When he and Mark played the main stage at DEMF a few years ago, I don't think there was anything smooth about the transitions. No matter, I'm not a stickler for seamlessly beatmatched DJ sets anyway. Last night, Moritz's set wasn't clunky at all and it was much more uptempo than I was expecting. He played a very good mix of styles, with a few surprises along the way. I stayed until 2am and feel exhausted now! Now I've gotta find a way to muster up enough energy for Derrick tonight...

He played a lot of his own stuff (BC, Main St, Rhythm and Sound) and some moments of nice techno and house as well. Probably didn't help that the club put him on from 5-7am, for which there was less than 10 people on the dancefloor in a club which has only just added techno to their lineup. bg On 6 February 2014 14:51, Darnistle McKuik darnis...@gmail.com wrote: Just found about these shows happening tonight (2/6/14) and tomorrow (2/7/14): http://flashdc.com/ -- BENN GLAZIER b...@glzr.info / BENNGLAZIER.COM / @BENNGLAZIER

(313) New Orleans nightlife?
I'm going to be in New Orleans the weekend of 11/23. Are there any clubs in town that play techno/drum-n-bass/house/IDM/etc? I'm definitely NOT looking for anything like Ampersand...

Re: (313) Kraftwerk
A 3D Kraftwerk show? That sounds quite exciting. What kinds of visuals did they use? On Tue, Jul 23, 2013 at 11:14 AM, graham.willi...@shell.com wrote: Kraftwerk played here over the weekend, it was the 3D show. The visuals looked great, wasn’t expecting much, it was very Kraftwerk looking at everyone wearing the 3D glasses I’m sure the set list order is the same everywhere, The Robots, Numbers, Computer World, Autobahn, Tour De France, Sellafield, Expo 2000 (UR Mix) and a few more. They played for 90 mins plus a 15 minute encore. Ralf Hütter is the only one left from the original setup, so almost a cover band now, but still worth it to go see them. It was my 3rd time seeing them and their show never disappoints! G

Re: (313) Borderland
I've listened several times and am generally disappointed in it. The tracks I like most are those where Juan's influence seems more obvious. The others just seem to meander. Overall, it definitely hasn't grabbed me the way I'd hoped it would. I'll have to revisit it when I'm in a different musical mood. I do like the album a little better on headphones than through speakers, though.

(313) Movement 2013
I know this is long overdue, but I felt an obligation (misplaced, no doubt) to post something about the festival. First of all, I think Paxahau should be commended for having improved the sound quality at the Underground Stage. The area had already begun sounding less and less murky each year, but this year I was quite surprised by the degree of aural clarity. I did not go down into the pit this year, but the quality of the sound near the walkways (behind the soundboard and near the bathroom) was very impressive. Second kudos to Paxahau for altering the orientation for the Electric Forest stage speakers, which worked very well. Though I wasn't keen on any of the music I heard from that stage all weekend, the sound was very full and rich, much more than previous years when the speakers were facing the water and the revelers had to stand on the grass. Dubstep bass sounded very large and powerful, which was quite nice. Too bad the dubstep itself wasn't in the style that I wanted to listen to. It'll be nice when perkier 2-step syncopation makes it way back into dubstep... Also, I'd like to thank Andrew Duke for some fabulous mixes that helped me make it through the interminable drive through Pennsylvania... Noteworthy sets from the festival itself: Alton Miller - surprisingly fun and thankfully not too jazzy Terrence Parker - He really kept the vibe going. His track selection was energizing and got my hopes up for a fun weekend Moby - I was running between stages during his set, but I really liked what I heard. I do hope he played Next is the E Daniel Bell - a very good, groovy set. Not as starkly minimal as I've come to expect from him, but very good nonetheless Cajmere - Loved the vibe! Where are the kick queens when you need them? Derrick May Kevin Saunderson - Excellent, as always! Who else could have inspired me to dance in the rain and cold for so long? As is true every year, the after-parties are overwhelming in their number and variety. There weren't any mega-events for me year, where so many people I want to hear will be playing at a single party that I don't really make plans to be anywhere else. That made deciding on which parties to go to harder, but it also meant I got to explore more of the after-party scene. Plus, there's always something to be said for a night of quality party-hopping. Friday night, I went to the House Headquarters party @ L!V Resto. I'm not sure who was playing when I got there, but I did hear Gary Chandler (fun, but very disjointed) and DJ Assault (Lordy be!!). As always, I missed DJ Godfather. I think it must be written in the stars. Saturday night, I went to TV Lounge for the first time. Every year, I mean to go there but end up somewhere else. The music was pretty good, for the most part. Not sure who I was listening to in the separate rooms, but it was all enjoyable enough. To tell the truth, I don't remember much about the music, but I liked the club itself quite a bit. I'll have to make an effort to go there again the next time I'm in town. After TV Lounge, I went to Club Waterfalls to hear DJ Minx et al. Unfortunately, I didn't realize until the night was over that there was more music happening on the second floor. DUH!!! Sadly, no Minx for me. The music I did hear on the main floor wasn't bad at all, though the sound system was painfully shrill. I almost left several times because the treble was so sharp and loud that it hurt my ears (not even listening to old Whitehouse is so harsh). However, I persisted and eventually got to hear a DJ whose set really caught my attention. I asked him his DJ name and he said DJ 50 Meal (??). What a strange name for a DJ. Sunday night, I was at Club Waterfalls again to hear DJ Bone and Shawn Rudiman. I didn't get to hear Shawn, but DJ Bone's set was truly invigorating and I danced the entire time I was there. Unfortunately, I had plans to be at the Echospace/Terrence Dixon party that night as well, so I couldn't stay as long as I would have liked. It was very difficult for me to leave, but it had to be done. Echospace's set was easily the most memorable point of the entire weekend for me!!! I went there expecting to be bathed in their evocatively meteorological techno-dub, but instead was engulfed in a throbbing kaleidoscope of sound, all still on the meteorological tip. All of this in a truly gritty, grimey warehouse setting. What more could I ask for? I danced and danced and danced and danced and danced, and even indulged my inner speaker-whore for most of Echospace's set. Their rhythms were much more energetic than on their recordings and though it retained their trademark variations-on-a-Basic-Channel-theme, there were several points where the music morphed into something surprisingly reminiscent of late-90's minimal psytrance (dense layering of aural particulate and relative independence of constituent bass lines). Ah, what I would have given to have been on acid for their set!!. I

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.

Re: (313) Juan + Moritz = Boarderland
Very exciting!! Hopefully, Juan will bring some booty to the proceedings. On Apr 5, 2013 11:05 AM, John Sokolowski jrsokolow...@hotmail.com wrote: Juan Atkins and Moritz von Oswald will release a collaborative album called Borderland through Tresor in June. The duo will debut the project with a live performance at this year's MUTEK festival in Montreal. Although their shared production history dates back more than 20 years (Atkins was the occasional third member in von Oswald's 3MB project with Thomas Fehlmann, which released an album on Tresor in 1992), Borderland will be their first album as a duo. The eight-track LP was recorded during studio sessions in Berlin earlier this year, and will see release as a series of 12-inches and a full CD album on June 10th, 2013.
