RE: [313] industrial vs. hip hop and Astrelwerks
twas written: learned alot from that CD. I still have a copy. and i am looking for a copy on vinyl. The Claude Young, K-Hand, Stacy Pullen, and Shake tracks are pure genius. I have tried and tried to get it on vinyl and have been told that it isn't available on vinyl and that it wasn't even pressed. I want that damned excellent K.Hand track on vinyl. I still can't figure out the end of the sample. 'come on now baby ...?can't u see that i..? Shouldn't matter what it's saying but for years i've been curious. :) Emma mee-thod
Re: [313] music book stuff
p-dogg liek snopp-doggy dog?? yeah looks like a kinda funky book. I have techno rebels, but haven't read it yet. I had a glance and couldn't help but think that dan left australia out of the picture, which I don't think is a fair reflection, especially considering what he DID decide to put in. I haven't read it yet, so I will reserve absolute judgement. There is of course the point that it doens't matter what i think coz I'd be slaughtered if I explained that to anyone outsode australia.. especially if they r actually fron detroit. hmm for one so obscenely swamped by hell work i seem to be typing not work related emails awfully well :) i'd be keen to know wot tonight is like if i can't make it, as I suspect. mee-thod it's in the way that you groove it

Australia [age then vs. age now]
james: i also grew up in australia in the 80s--in sydney. my experience sounds very different to yours. I also grew up in australia in the 80s, along with how many other millions? My experience is different again. The joys of diversity eh? I agree with Cyclone that there was a strength and diversity in the independent music scene in Australia that isn't present today. I work in a community radio station (ethos= radical, alternative, activist) and the amount of pure drivel we get in is phenomenal. I would also say that the Thatcherite-infected policies weren't present in Australia in 80s to the extent they have been since 1996. Some call it cultural lag, I call it complacency and mediocrity. Cyclone: Drugs are anti-social! Drugs aren't anti-social. Some people are when they take them, but the use of drugs has created so much art and culture. Where would music be without drugs? or poetry, or painting, or sculpture, or ... Of course it ticks me off no end, and I am generally ungracious, when I see kids there for the drugs not the music. But maybe... just maybe... they might HEAR the music and get blown away by the MUSIC and find out more. Maybe... if we keep putting out the information it will get through. We are in the information age but people are information poor. Emma mee-thod
Re: (313) Respect Pleez!!
Hey Emma: For those of you that do not knowthere is truly an arrogance about our music, that, like it or not, needs to be outlined and defended. ok. hang on! I agree with the essence of all you have written. I have been misunderstood if you thought you needed to say those things. I said that I think it is wrong to attack someone for where they are from, or their girlfriend's profession ;). I wasn't supporting DJ Wannabes and Scene-junkies from any state or nation. I said there is nothing wrong with home made CDrs... home studios is where most techno has come from. my last line was: if you are talking about people more concerned with image than the music say it. And that was all I was saying. Emma mee-thod
Re: (313) Rave betty Barbie and DJ Ken
oscillateX2 wrote God's name were they advertising? A DJ Ken doll!!! Complete with a turntable and mixer!!! snip As if all the DJ Wannabes from Oklahoma hanging around the Radisson pool at WMC with their stripper girlfriends and their home-burned mix CD's wasn't enough... tsk tsk on a lot of levels. *sigh* your whole post reads as elitist and I can't see that 313 is about that, though I wonder at times. It's about innovative electronic music and people have to start somewhere. I hope it's also about those tones healing people and a dream of a new world. So wot if it's a home burnt CD at least they are making music and trying. Stripping is decent money, the notion of a living wage is an anethema in the USA *spit* if you are talking about people more concerned with image than music, say it. *hmpmh* Emma mee-thod it's in the way that you groove it

(313) kdj rereleases
I'm loving all these represses of theo / kdj etc that are out... picked up the three chairs with kdj, theo and rick wilhite. The moodymann track on there - Gawdamn An absolutely killer. now hopefully I can find these in Australia... on a tip here. If you haven't heard 'took me all the way back' by theo on kdj (18?) it's a time traveling transcendental experience. worth the journey any time/place/space. emma mee-thod it's in the way that you groove it
Re: (313) This poem...
I thought the original Dis Poem was actually by Mutabaruka released maybe late 70s?. The cover of tha album is stars on a night sky (in a friend's collection) Is the Bobby Konders version the one done in late 1980s 1990s? Nice trancey techno thing?

Re: (313) Groove review
hans wrote: see). It'll be more authentic looking than GO but still cheesy as hell. But then again when has anyone ever made a feature film that accurately portrayed a pop culture movement. Those of us who care are too busy trying to hold on to the integrity of the music and don't have time to learn how to make films and write screenplays.or do we? Track selection aside, I thought Human Traffic is far and above the best mainstream flick I have seen to portray a movement I include myself in. You can kinda take or leave the drug angle to a degree it's the attitude that it portrays that hits the nail on the head. Am I the only one who wanted to stand up tall with my fist in the air at the end of the flick? 'together as one' *chuckle* Of course people who believe in the music have time (well some) to make films and screenplays, capitial is another story. It's about getting a posse together with the same values and not having to deal with 'marketable soundtrack' crap. Then there is the 'oh you don't spin shit so you have no clue' that one has get past. You don't need to make the music or spin the trax to follow the cult. You just need to believe ;) emma mee-thod 'i believe' emma mee-thod it's in the way that you groove it
Re: (313) re: Stacey Pullen
Has Stacey Pullen done any radio in Perth or elsewhere in Australia other than Melbourne? In theory he would have had time to do some over there (or in Adelaide) during this week. Just wondered. Anyone tune in and hear the Kiss FM show in Melbourne? It went for an hour. And I missed it. Damn. pre-record I/V in Canberra, went to air a couple of weeks ago. pfg, mee-thod

(313) Stacey Pullen in Canberra
This was the first time SP has played in Canberra. Nick Warren (i know i know) had played the night b4 so all the kiddlets were zonked, not necessarily a bad thing. The turn out was solid but not as packed as I would have thought. One things fersure, once SP was on the decks noone left the building for the entire set. A nice progession and mix of trax as one would expect. So nice to hear someone mix it up eclectically and still have my taste *grin* I'll leave it to the trainspotters to be specific, though someone yelled to me across the room is this a juan track?!! as he jubliantly bounced about. Hmmm, in summary... DARK CHOCOLATE once again food breaks through the revolutionary art communication barriers. pfg, emma mee-thod it's in the way that you groove it

(313) Stacey Kidd?...
Dan L asked: I heard that Stacey Kidd was coming to Australia also Cyclone asked: Now I gotta question. Stacey Kidd (from Chicago) is touring Aussie but no one knows much about him. As far as I know he isn't coming to Melbourne but I am curious nonetheless. Who is this cat? I gotta add my name to this query.
