(313) Stacey Pullen last night in NYC

2007-01-14 Thread Dave Pinter
So some friends were in town and wanted to go out and were excited to hear that 
Stacey was in town for a night at the Sullivan Room. The five of us got there 
early and luckily avoided the $15 admission (saved $75) The Sullivan Room is 
closing for a bit to do some renovations, I think a new sound system is on 
order. So this was billed as a pre-renovation blowout bash. There were even 2-1 
drinks till midnight...sounds pretty good right?

The unfortunate thing about it was everyone who spun sucked. It could be I'm 
suffering the let down from expecting too much. The opening dj's; Function 
(Infrastructure), Victor Ridi & Fong (Minitek), Sleepy & Boo (Basic NYC) played 
not one interesting track. The sets sounded like a mix of minimal tracks from 
the sale bin and a few old Transmat and Rob Hood numbers thrown in because 
Stacey was there. I was ready to leave more than an hour before Stacey started. 
But I decided to stick with it and have another drink. (more alchol seemed to 
help)

'Do NOT miss this rare NYC visit from the techno innovator on this very special 
night.' Said the flyer. As soon as Stacey took to the decks, I thought finally, 
amateur hour is over. Stacey started with a vocal sample of a guy talking about 
soul. Good sign eh? Well that was the last bit of soul I heard in the half hour 
before I gave up. Maybe it was that Stacey forget to restock his record bag 
with something new and ditch the pounding NYC house tracks circa 2000. 
Reguardless the New York University frat kids who showed up seemed to like it. 
Hope that gives you an indication of where the bar was set.

I would have been mad if I'd parted with the $15 to get in, instead it was 
rather sad that there is still such a shortage of challenging and INNOVATIVE 
music in NYC.

RE: (313) (OT) NI announce Traktor DJ Studio 3

2005-09-23 Thread Dave Pinter

Anyone else read the there will be importing support for iTunes? Wonder if this 
will save burning and importing runaround.

Also is Beatport very 313 stocked? I've not taken much time to see what labels 
are on it. Anyone got anyone good recommendations from that site?

One more thing...Satellite here in NYC was looking like it was going to close. 
I stopped in a few days ago and there is a new dj supply partner in the space( 
can't remember the name). The record stock seemed really thin and there wasn't 
many shopping in the store. I remember it used to be crowded pretty much all 
the time. Seems much more house oriented now, much like the old Eightball shop. 
Buying techno in NYC is really a challenge now sad to say.

(313) Amp Fiddler last night NYC

2004-08-11 Thread Dave Pinter
Great show last night by Amp and the gang at SOB's. I missed Tortured Soul, 
they must have started playing really early. DJ True was spinning a mix of 
downtempo and soulful house...sketchy mixing but the crowd didn't seem 
affected. Amp went on at around 11pm and played for roughly an hour and forty 
minutes. There was a really good turnout for a tuesday night crowd. Although 
SOB's has a tiny stage, the group of six were all really animated. Amp switched 
from a standing by a vocal mike to sitting at the keyboards and back...within 
the same song.
Two song highlights for me were 'Love and War'(an anthem here in Ft. Greene 
Brooklyn) and an extended 'I'm doing fine' which got a bit punk for a second. 
Everyone sang happy birthday to Paul Randolph who did a great job on bass.
In the tradition of crowd walkup's at SOB's, there were two surprise guests, 
N'Dea Davenport from The Brand New Heavies contributed vocals to 'I'm doing 
fine' and Sheila Horne from P-Funk ccontributed vocals to 'Possibilities'. Both 
have amazing voices and left the crowd pretty stunned.

Amp's playing Detroit thursday night at St. Andrews. So get out and see this 
show.

Re: (313) Robert Hood In NYC

2003-12-02 Thread Dave Pinter

> Did anyone go see Robert Hood spin last Wednesday night, Thanksgiving Eve?
> How was his set and how was the event?


I was there and stayed for about half of Hood's set. It was put together by
Todd Sines and held at the Coral Room which for those who haven't heard
about it, features a HUGE tank filled with water behind the bar. The tank
has tropical fish and occasionally a 'real' mermaid swims around. I think
the place isn't usually on the map for techno judging by the crowd.

Todd did an excellent live set in X-trac form. Having seen Stewart Walker
only two days earlier I rediscovered how good a live pa can be. Todd's set
seemed to abruptly end...couldn't tell if it was a gear related problem or
the staff cutting him off. He seemed a bit frustrated though.

Kimyon (another Ohio native) played a 45min opener for Rob. Lots of good 313
stuff. UR, Dan Bell, and a few old Chicago classics.

Rob started around 2:30ish and launched into a pitched up version of Groove
La Chord and continued on with a pretty banging set. Again the crowd wasn't
really expecting this and many departed. Rob's mixing was really clean and
not having ever seen him before I was very curious. There just didn't seem
to be any sort of atmosphere in the space though and I think a lot of folks
were burnt out from the Kompakt party the night before. I would like to see
Rob again. Does anyone know if he usually plays a lot of his own records is
his sets? I didn't catch one in the hour+ I heard him.

The '01 313 List shirts were limited to a run of about 500 each. Thanks to your 
support they sold out at the Record Time tent during the fest. A few lucky 
folks got some 'test' shirts printed on different color T's. Mike Himes (RT 
owner) generously funded the venture and did it pretty much at cost.

Surprisingly a limited batch of unprinted 'white' test shirts were distributed 
to four london record shops and were immediatly bought up at $75 USD a shirt. 
And who says Americans will buy anything...

Haven't summoned the energy to attempt production of another batch but if I get 
enough emails from you people maybe we can have a go at one for next year.

(313) Jelinek/Fehlmann NYC review

2003-04-25 Thread Dave Pinter
I seem to remember someone asking for a review on the Jelinek/Fehlmann 
performance last night here in NYC. Here's my review of the line up:


 MIMM:
These four guys started off and two were on laptops and the other two were on 
guitars. The hour or so 'set' was pretty freeform and moved between subtle 
clicky beats and dare I say more ambient moments. Some interesting sounds here 
and there from the laptop guys but the guitars didn't really blend into the mix 
that well. The sound levels seemed really low during the whole set and 
frequently the chatter of the crowd overpowered their performance. I would say 
they were a good choice for the intro.

Velocette:
Pretty much straight up tech house sounding stuff. Interesting moments here and 
there, but the set never seemed to go any where. His set seemed to end when the 
sound guy cut him off...very weird. Jelinek and Fehlmann were setting up on 
stage and both looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Not a bad set 
just didn't really seem to push any new ground. Miss those old Reflective days.

Jan Jelinek:
Looked forward to this as we here in NYC were treated to performances by most 
of the ~scape lineup last summer. Jan started off with a great Gramm cut, not 
sure of the title. The crowd seemed to lock in. Most of the other cuts were 
from the latest ~scape release and were modified and extended. The sound level 
got bumped up for his set and made all the difference. The one piece that was 
missing was the visualsthere were none the entire evening. Worth checking 
this guy out though.

Thomas Fehlmann:
Fehlmann's set was as predicted here on the list. Yea it was good and he did 
play all the latest stuff including a cut from the orb's Kompassion EP, but 
there was little devation. I think the sound system might have not been strong 
enough as well. Glad to have seen him but memories of orb performances where 
they really wreck their tracks (in a good way) live left me a bit empty. Maybe 
not quite the laptop dancer as Stewart Walker (who also was in town last night) 
but he does have some moves.

Anyone else in attendance last evening?
