Despite discovering that film is basically a sedative for me since
becoming a parent, I persevered through Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy last
night. Part of the way through I couldn't shake the notion that I knew
the name George Smiley from somewhere. Then it clicked. He was the
original (313) list admin back in the day. From the time that I joined
the list around '98, he never really posted much, but it occurs to me
now that this was more likely to have been a pseudonym than a
coincidence. Anyone know who George Smiley was? Just curious if it was
one of the later (313) admins in disguise, or maybe one of the
hyperreal people? Clearly not really important, but it just made me
curious, especially given the fictional character.

Cheers,

Mike Huckabee's educational work is amazing.  He's a guy that, unlike
many of his peers in Detroit, stayed in Detroit and dedicated himself
to keeping it a vital center for musical innovation.  He did it, I
believe, at a personal cost.  If all he cared about was making money
and becoming famous, he could easily have moved to Berlin, gotten a
good booking agent, and hooked up with European labels.  I don't mean
to criticize the people who have taken that path -- if it works for
them it's fine -- but there's no denying that moving away changes
their music.

Instead he's stayed true to the city, true to his own music, and
perfected the art of DJing.  And he's taken direct action to help the
young people of Detroit, who face serious obstacles to finding a place
in the world.

I admire a lot of Detroit musicians, and certainly isn't alone in his
commitment to Detroit.  In particular Underground Resistance and
Submerge have demonstrated  a deep and sustained commitment to the
people of Detroit.  There are others but to list them is to risk
leaving someone out.

What really makes me return again and again to the music that comes
out of Detroit isn't a particular style, it's the deep, clear-eyed
emotion and soul that infuses the best Detroit music. Music can point
to itself, it can reflect listeners' aspirations back on them, it can
start a party.  Or music can do all that, and point up and out of
itself. It can make you think about the world in a different way.

Subject: (313) more thoughts on Movement 2011

Monday was a good day at the festival.  I arrived in time to hear TP on
the main stage bring Strings of Life into a remix of Patrice
Rushen's "Haven't You Heard" (I like Steve Rachmad's "A Lot of Love" on
Spiritual/Outland more but this version was slower and more in line
with the mix). Terrence was in a vocal mood, singing along with several
tracks.  And he played "Blow Your House Down."  Couldn't ask for more.

I liked DJ Three (Chris Milo) on the Beatport stage playing an
unhurried set of solid acid-tinged stuff.  Boo Williams and GU were
unfortunately stuck in the underground stage; when will Paxahau finally
admit house just doesn't work in there?

But I spent most of the day at the Made in Detroit stage.  Just missed
seeing Franki Juncaj (formerly the friendly guy at the register at
Somewhere in Detroit and also a quite good DJ), but heard a lot
of District 909 (Tim Baker and HD Substance).  Tim Baker has had some
interesting releases but I wasn't sure what to expect, and what they
deliver is basic stripped down live techno sliding back and forth
between really tough and cool and somewhat aimless.

Next up was DTM on 5 turntables, that's right, count 'em, 5x5.  It
could have been a classic pileup but actually it was kind of fun. First
up was Throw as the soundbed, which is the obvious way to get started
and it went from there.  Layers and layers of tracks'n'scratches.

Then DJ T-1000 or as known among these parts, Alan.  You know what
he does and that's bring it up to a high level of intensity and lets
it  roll.

As good as AO was, Claude Young finally had the time, the space and
the crowd to really throw down -- nearly two and half hours worth.
Everyone I talked to including the man himself felt the inspiration.
It's not just about playing the great old records, as great as they
remain, or the great new ones, still fresh and not struggling against
familiarity.  It is about playing great music with purpose and
precision.  It's what Detroit techno at its best truly represents.



And now some comments on the festival itself (I'll save my rant about
afterparties for another time).  With a year away due to work
requirements last year, I have a little more perspective perhaps than
I used to, having been to all ten from 2000 to 2009.

First of all, what's working right?  Paxahau has a business model that
actually works.  They are putting serious, serious cash into upgrading
the sound, the staging, the lights and all the little things needed to
make this work better every year.  Even the underground.  The big
improvement to me was the decision to get rid of the tents for the
Beatport and Made in Detroit areas and invest in real stages.

The music selection is somewhat less adventurous than I suppose could
be imagined, but it is a pretty decent job for what it does.  There are
too many overrated European superstar-or-wannabes on stage for my
taste, but they bring in a crowd (see "business model").  On the
other hand, I can complain about Fatboy Slim or whatever but they
also bring in Adam X who rocks the box.  I didn't feel this year like
there were periods where nothing decent was on offer, which was the
case in previous years ago for considerable parts of the weekend.

And I want to call Paxahau out for praise very specifically for one
thing: the strong commitment to live performances across all genres.
They not only book creatively on that, but they obviously put serious
effort into providing the staging and support needed, from equipment
setups to sound and lights.

The ticket prices are reasonable given the size and breadth of the
event.  The lines were better run this year, and amidst the usual
carney fare they brought in Slows -- epic win.

The not so good parts.  Well, obviously it's a white people festival
now.  I'm not sorry to say it so bluntly.  It is in the city of
Detroit, but it does not represent Detroit the city.  Why?  This gets
back to "business model."  When the festival was free, the city did
come, and not just because it was free, but because the proportion of
known Detroit talent was higher.  The organizing of the festival was
drama supreme in the early years, but out on the walks and in the stage
audiences, it was inclusive for all of Detroit and the region.

So Movement has evolved from being a somewhat disorganized civic
celebration to being more of a destination event for the suburbs (see
"business model").  Give Paxahau credit, the Made in Detroit stage is
an explicit nod to where this all comes from and provides (some) space
for the various threads of Detroit techno and house for the last 30
years -- but only some, a

Hi,

We're carrying on with the pretty much unbroken series of at least  
one Detroit act in each of our parties over the last year or so.


On December 11 we're hosting the UK's Surgeon and Berlin's DJ Pete  
[Aka Substance] as they bring the rare synergy of their occasional  
back-to-back session from Berlin to Bleep43 for a second time.


We are also very proud to present what will be a session of magical  
house music and more, from Amsterdam's veteran of the deep,  
Newworldaquarium.


Add to that, we're sure there'll be a fine selection of finely mixed  
music from the much-in-demand Mr. Patrice Scott.


Top things off with Bleep43 DJs and live acts, l and I think it's  
fair to say we have a special night on offer for the discerning ear  
and open mind.

(313) Happy Holiday!

2006-12-25 Thread Ken Odeluga
Here's a cheesy 'season's greetings' to all and sundry and your 
families too. Here's wishing you a happy and peaceful time in good 
measure and as wild (or sedate) a New Year's Eve and 2007 as you would 
like.


Also, please tip some wine on the ground in the old way for James 
Brown, may he RIP ... although something tells me that serious mourning 
would not be appreciated, by him. So as a tribute, perhaps you might 
put on a record of his instead - that's what I'm going to do.


Peace,

Ken

(313) Scan 7: Their Secret Life In House

2006-04-10 Thread Ken Odeluga
I thought I'd sent this over the weekend but because I'm only on the 
digest at home I only discovered that the mail didn't get to the list 
(or so it seems) when I got to work today.


So I'm trying again. There are no profanities that I'm aware of - I'm 
trying to keep my turret's syndrome under control, but I can't be sure.


I've also cut down the amount of links, I think this sometimes an issue 
for the filter? Or am I irreparably paranoid now?!?


Would one kind soul reply if they see this, just a couple of words will 
do, so I know that I've been successful this time. Cheers in advance.


Ken

...yes, it's a discogs.com job.

But there are some indications that the signs are more solid than they 
sometimes from discogs.


This relates to a member (or an alias of one or more members) of Scan 7.

The member is 'Black Man'.

Why I think this is interesting is that there is not another artist in 
the database called 'Black Man' or any other derivative of that name. 
Strange. You'd think it might be chosen by at least one other person, 
obvious as it is.


Check out the release links for Black Man.

Yep, only two releases of his own, and both categorised as 'house' 
records, on UK labels


There's one which contains a mix by DJ Q (known for being a Detroit 
head, and has remixed tracks for Kelli Hand amongst others...)


He also has this mix *with* DJ Q:

http://www.discogs.com/release/6033

If any one has any other thoughts, no matter how impolite, or knows any 
of these records other than the above (the remix is OK, but nothing 
earth-shattering) please speak up.

REALLY liking this latest Terrence Dixon release.

It's strange, it's (almost) empty in places - which is enough space to 
think - and it's definitely not fashionable. Unfortunately, I doubt 
even most people who like the styles of music we like, will get it,

(313) An Excellent Film About The TB-303

2005-08-14 Thread Ken Odeluga

Apologies to those of you who've already heard and seen this.

The link below leads to an academically presented, but extremely well 
informed film about the 'famous' Roland electronic musical instrument. 
Mostly it contains stuff which many will already know, but I doubt that 
the history, ethos and culture which the 303 engenders, has been as 
comprehensively documented on film before.


You'll need Quicktime (which is free to download).

I need to acknowledge that I saw this first on the Discogs music tech 
forum.

(313) RE:UR in Minneapolis in October

2005-08-08 Thread Ken Odeluga
Just literally this minute got back From The Big Chill festival were 
these two chaps played. They also came and did a back-to-back set for 
Big Chill Radio (where I was working) so I got to chat to them at 
length, especially DJ3000. They seem to be friendly, down-to-earth, 
unpretentious blokes, with good senses of humour. Watch out for 3000, 
there's a rich seam of influences in him which will produce some 
interesting stuff, I'm sure. The eastern European influence - he's of 
Albanian extraction - is becoming evident in his recent music, I feel. 
But at the same time, it's obvious from his accent that he hangs around 
with a lot of African Americans, not to too fine a point on it. There's 
no doubt, he's being groomed by the more senior UR members to be one of 
the next generation of representatives.


He and James Pennington played a smart set of electro-funk old and new, 
especially in the radio studio. It was a lot of fun and such an 
antidote to rather too much of the 'Berlin-by-numbers' which I almost 
feel spoon-fed at the moment.


Look out for 3000's mix CD 'Perseverance'. I'm listening to a promo now 
and it's a good showcase of his current style.


By the way, does anyone know who are the two French guys who were just 
signed to Axis? They were in the UR entourage but I didn't get to talk 
to them. Maybe someone mentioned their names, but I've forgotten, alas.

(313) 'Snowflake falling' ...

2005-03-24 Thread Ken Odeluga

Just looked-up Juan Atkins on the iTunes Music Store.

There's a lot of classic stuff on there (including some of the great 
recent New Religion material.)


But wait. What is this odd-looking entry on an LP called 'Christmas 
Eclectic' (genre: 'holiday') with a track called 'Snowflakes Falling'? 
The compilation appears to be a sort of Christmas gift record.


I'm not wanting to believe that the track 'Snowflakes Falling' is 
actually the man himself. Going by the sample, it's about +12 on the 
cheesy, cornball, schamltz scale (add your own adjectives!). It's got 
kids singing, twee lyrics, triangles etc.


But I have to say: those chord changes, that melody, that bassline, 
even the synth sequencing  they *do* have a certain familiar feel 
to them. Someone tell me I'm way off-beam or this may turn into a 
little cause celebre!

Re: (313) Energy Flash by Simon Reynolds

2005-01-05 Thread Ken Odeluga
I've not enough time to do a line-by-line consideration of what's been 
presented here, but *based solely on the short excerpt given here* and 
being what I consider to be an open-minded person, who nevertheless 
relishes an intellectual punch-up, I'd challenge anyone to defend most 
of what he says as more than sixth-form essay standard. It's a shame 
really, 'cause it's an important set of ideas which Reynolds addresses.


I am interested in reading the book though - I'd happy if he 
demonstrates that we're all wrong and he's right, and perhaps he does 
indeed do that in the rest of the book.


So. I'm not going to indulge in ad-hominem arguments - and I'd suggest 
that no one here should. For me, these are never acceptable, but in 
this case, they certainly don't appear to be even necessary. After all, 
his thesis should stand or fall on the soundness of his reasoning only 
right?


Having said all that, one thing which I can resonate with is the need 
to cull excessive reverence toward any type of movement in music. To 
me, that's pretty superfluous too.

Nah I'm definitely talking about the oakland crew. I asked because my 
brother has been doing vox for them on and off for years and the recent 
album seduction @331/3 features some of his vox. Just seeing what folks 
think. He's dropping vox on some new techno/electro for me at the 
moment as he's now living in atlanta again.

Who're the guys from the uk that you mention?

I don't know much more about them then I said really. I'll admit to 
being a relative newcomer to the so-called 'West London' sound (I've 
really only started paying attention in the last 3 years.)


I'm a bit puzzled about the 'uk/intelligent techno' bit of your 
subject, but I sort of see where you're coming from (unless I missed 
something, not being sarky, I probably did).

:-).

I've also been pretty much 'floored' as you were, ever since I got my 
head round that first LP 'Seduction at 33 1/3.' It's not the most  
accessible first LP ever but repeated listens are well rewarded. It's 
diverse and deep stuff encompassing elements of hip, hop, jazz, blues, 
r'n'b/soul, cinematic themes (yes!) and even explicitly African rhythm 
patterns and sounds. And of course that all-important and all-pervading 
atmosphere of experimental electronics. For me, that's where the 
characterisation as 'intelligent techno' can be correct. (However, I 
think it's correct for lot of music which some people wouldn't agree 
on, notwithstanding the slightly bemusing implications of the term - 
i.e. the old insinuation that some  techno is 'dumb' techno - no 
comment on that.) It's pretty easy to see why the group's music has 
been embraced not only by the sort of broken-beat crowd as much as by 
people (like me) from - but not attached exclusively to - the school of 
the 'classic' techno template. We will tend to be over 30 years old, by 
default I guess. This is perhaps why Blaktroniks tracks have been 
(re)mixed by producers as diverse as Domu, Mike Grant and Move D.
Whilst I know that the group had an enthusiastic response in Germany, 
where there's a pretty deep tradition of 'urban' guys from America 
performing 'wierd' music, we all know that despite our little 313 
world, and a little beyond, it's not necessarily appreciated in their 
home town. (Or state for that matter.) Also, having a well-known writer 
on electronic music single them by saying their first LP sounded 'like 
a demo' didn't help either! ;-). (I personally like some releases which 
sound like 'demos'!).
A major element of that first LP was that sort of sketchy quality on 
*some* tracks. They sounded live. I think this is deliberate. I 
personally didn't think it detracted from how much I liked the tracks. 
The instrumental tracks sounded as 'finished' and dance-floor 
orientated as most things, to me, however
I know the Mike Grant reworked versaion of 'Raindrops' (making imo an 
already strong track, into a good 313-house track) got them some 
attention around these parts. I'd suggest anyone who liked that, to 
check out the LP. It's on CD only alas, although there were some 12s on 
Moving Records, which included quite a few of the LP tracks.
I'm still intrigued and eagerly await what Blaktroniks might do next. 
To hear the most recent (I think) manifestation of where they were at 
check out this:
http://www.discogs.com/artist/Blacktroniks.  (The group is listed on 
discogs site under two different spellings! That's discogs for you.)  
That EP on Reflective was much more in-your-face-electronic and club 
orientated, with sort of Chicago Underground Council meets Co-op beats.


All in all, whilst I think it will take some time, I still do believe 
that a deeper cult appreciation, and beyond, of what Blaktroniks do, 
will come, on the strength of what I've heard by them so far.

How is Canada? I hear it's great for the arts and not bad for techno, my
girlfriend loves vancouver.

Ja'Maul Redmond


I was talking with a Canadian about this at the weekend (not sure if 
the guy's is still on the list, he said he used to be.)


I was somewhat surprised to hear that techno, in the widest sense, was 
still 'happening' in Montreal (more than Toronto). Maybe I shouldn't 
have been though, with the well-known ascendance of the glitch/minimal 
house trend in that city. I suppose the Mutek festival is the best 
manifestation of that. Maybe we should now conclude that for music at 
least, Canada is closer to 'Detroit' than most of the USA, quite 
literally. And now, perhaps more than ever!


(Before I get flamed, I should make it clear that I'm only being 
half-serious!)

To me, this underscores the notion that non-traditional forms of

Agreed Martin. Alex, I agree with you that its pretty annoying to have this.

However I do think that it's reflective of a fairly rare attitude within the
sphere of the music which we like.

The person who made this post looks to me to be more self-appointed rather
than someone who has the backing and encouragement of anyone within the
music who we'd respect.

I really wouldn't worry about it at all. It sounds like some lone nutter!
:-)

Also, I think that given some straight info on the Buzz 'represses', fewer
people than buy them at the moment, would buy them. I mean, so far, they're
of low quality anyway.

Record shop/label owners who in all other respects seem to support and
safeguard 'our music' should perhaps think a little more deeply about the
whole Buzz/bootleg thing, because it does raise some contradictions (such as
those very shops which support the scene, contributing to hurting it!)
although I stress, the whole issue is difficult and as for Buzz, it isn't
entirely clear that the original artists/labels aren't deriving some
indirect benefit. We just don't know.

2004-09-30 Thread Ken Odeluga

Actually, that 'Colin Dale Presents: Abstract Funk Theory' 3x12" I was
talking about earlier, also includes a very nicely pressed (not to mention
legitimately licenced) edition of 'Serena X (Inner Zone Mix).

I lieu of a proper repress ...

Sounds good.

Recently found 'Colin Dale Presents ...' 3x12 " which has 'Mystical Rhythms'
which is sweet. Add that to his V-Phorms stuff like 'Fragments' on Native,
and new stuff would be v welcome indeed.

One thing: did he ever release on Soma? Can't see anything on discogs under
his name. Interesting, since he's from Glasgow and sort of from that era.

Good luck.

It certainly looks that way. Of course, it's not 100% that way however,
evidently.

On the whole however, what you've observed is the age old problem of
prejuidice, percieved or actual - this can play itself out in ways which are
obvious enough.

Sometimes it really is there, sometimes it isn't. Not everyone's as
enlightened as they ought to be, not everyone can tell the difference. And
that works both ways too! Also, most people are conservative in deed if not
in mind, they stick with what they know and surface appearances are
everything, as is going along with the crowd.

The ironic thing is, of course, the African-American roots of a lot of this
music, including so-called hard techno! So you have a situation in which
people of colour in the UK and Europe are rejecting a music in which people
of colour in the US, played a large part (and still do). And this applied
even when the music was relatively new and therefore still more easily
traceable to those roots.

RE: (313) If

2004-09-23 Thread Ken Odeluga
Yeah I only found it on vinyl in the summer so I was bemused at the quite
whack 'mega mix' style wrap-up on the final side! Spin-back city!

Plus the pressing is pretty weak in volume. There is (I think?) though, a
longer version of 'Share This House' and some tracks make more sense it
seems to me via vinyl. All in all, it was a good introduction at the time,
and some of the Derrick May-produced tracks are still of interest - e.g. 'Un
Deux Trois.' Plus of course there's 'Spark': Beautiful and not available
anywhere else.

(313) New Dark Comedy LP

2004-09-18 Thread Ken Odeluga
The press release the other day about the new Dark Comedy LP reminded 
me to dig out the other Dark Comedy LP, 'Seven Days' and the 'Exhibits' 
 comp on Art of Dance. Is it just ancient me or is this stuff still 
very good indeed? Deep textures, many varieties of rhythms, all 
encapsulated in that indefatigable Detroit blue. If this doesn't teach 
me to pick this kind of stuff up on vinyl at the time, instead of the 
latest short-lived thing, nothing will.


So far the new one seems only available on CD in Japan ...
