Re: [313] Oh yeah - that reminds me.....
- you all forgot to report back on the Oakenfold Fatboy Slim show. That was the dude with the thong and the beard, right? Killer show. We gonna burn! ;-P -- There4IM Still in moderate shock at the scale of it all, but glad I got to blubber an enthusiastic Thank you! to Carl's face on Saturday.
A Very Important Message For You!!

I've only been to a couple of the blues jazz fests never experienced hart plaza in the rain- i hope this is not going to seriously fudge sh!t up. does anyone know what sort of provisions/precautions have been or can be made for this? Hart Plaza in the rain is not quite what you would expect. I anticipate that IF one of the scattered showers hits downtown (and it's always an IF this time of year) you will have a mix of people scurrying for cover, and a few dedicated chin-strokers toughing it out (myself included). Never underestimate the commitment of a glowstick-whirling teen to let it all hang out in a storm. How many times do you get the opportunity to get your groove on while Mother Nature supplies the old-school ceiling drip? Usually the artists are protected by tents/tarps, but the only place for spectator cover is the Hart Plaza underground, good news for those booked in that space. :) I imagine that Pop Culture is making arrangements for a few tents around the main stages, but I'm not a spokesperson. - There4IM (fondly recalling last summer's jazzfest, when the rain afforded Linda and I a close-up view of Pharoah Sanders getting WAY OUT there...)

Our claim to fame it seems. Been on every mixtape since 1996, I believe. Worth seeking this one out, anyone have the jungle mix CD by Paris, how does it compare (besides music style, obviously). Ah yes, the Tiger/Crane technique. Jungle/DrumBass has been Paris' secret weapon for several years. It's a tool he has used to work out frustrations and make impressions. After working hip-hop tricks to death in the lab he stumbled across (and introduced me to) some deep dark brit tracks. Expect Rush and Optical classics driven hard and put away wet. Not a supersmooth Bukem style, but not jump up either. A lot of tech-step, heavy on the dark atmosphere and tight percussion. Hyperspeed hip-hop cuts. Please don;t ask me to trainspot this stuff. Imagine flooring it on 94, passing an officer, then realizing your breaks don't work. (insert maniacal Black Fu laugh here.) - There4IM
Re: [313] OT: TR-808/Flam
Back in the day, all that din sync Roland x0x stuff was obsolete due to MIDI, that's how the Black and Latin Detroit, Chicago and NY guys got hold of that 1st shit so cheap (at that time our white friends were down with Krokus and Dokken and chanting disco sucks at ball games). Who are Krokus and Dokken? In tha day, I was in my basement scanning the radio dial looking for late night FM disco and dub shows. Your white friend, There4IM ; ) (Happy Birthday you geezer, you)
FW: [313] old tresor albums by detroit artists
Pardon me if this is redundant. Not sure if it went through... -- FYI, Trackmaster Lou produced the first 3 tracks on Blake Baxter's 313 CD comp for Tresor. Tresor 43 (1996) 01. Xzile Point of No Return (w/G Nettix) 02. BlackMan Dark Star 03. Xzile Blind Faith (w/G Nettix) 04. Santone D-Tech 05. Santonio Hypnosis 06. Rebel Alliance Page Net 07. Taj Allright 08. Renee (feat. Taj) When I Dream 09. Renee Trancend 10. Blake Baxter Luv to Luv 11. DJAtWill Don't Stop 12. TomiD Some Things Never Change Overall trending towards Detroit flavored tranciness and post-acid house, including a couple low-bpm tracks. Not really a very strong collection IMHO, with the possible exception of a Taj track Allright that predates the beatdown sound nicely. -- There4IM
