 I got the third set through the mail, but I told that company the same

 Update to this week-long drama:

 The Shure E4c-N earphones arrived in the mail.  Though they are good
 earphones, they don't really hold a candle to the Shure SE100s.

 The Shure E4c-N has much more noticeable bass, but the mids and highs
 aren't as crisp and clear as the SE100s.  Feeling disappointed and thwarted,
 I decided to return the E4C-Ns and buy the SE100s once again.

 This time, I experimented with the different earpads for the SE100 and
 found the right one for my ear.  The increase in bass and overall richness
 was immediate.  The bass now is very clear and I'm very surprised that these
 earphones are able to produce some of the really low bass in certain dubstep
 or techno tracks.

 So my final assessment is that the Sennheiser CX300s and the Shure E4C-N

 are pretty similar in quality, though the CX300s were a little less
 expensive.  Either of them would be a very good replacement for the Sony

 MDR-EX71SL earphones.

 However, the SE100s win the prize for clarity and richness!!!  It is
 really worth paying the extra money for such a marked improvement in the

 sound quality!!  Making the effort to try the different earpads will pay

 off when you find the ones that fit your ears in just the right way.

 darnistle wrote:

 Funny that this topic should come up at this time.  My favorite Sony
 MDR-EX71SL earbuds  developed a short in the cord last week, so it was

 time to buy another pair.  The last set lasted for more than two

 years,

 which is really good considering that I use them daily for hours at a
 time and am not as careful with them as I should be.

 This time, I decided to try some other brands and took the plunge and
 bought the Shure SE100s from a store in town.  At $100 it was

 expensive,

 but I was curious to see if there was any significant increase in

 sound

 quality.

 The clarity and imaging were astounding!!  Truly!!  Listening to tracks
 I was well familiar with was like hearing them anew:  all sorts of
 nuances I'd never heard before were suddenly very clear.  The

 earphones

 also did an excellent job of blocking outside sounds.  I felt like I

 was

 in a wonderfully exquisite aural cocoon.

 My only complaint about them was the lack of bass, even though I tried
 pushing the earpads further in my ear.  It helped somewhat, but not as

 much as I would have expected.  I thought to put on one of the

 alternate

 earpads to ensure a better fit, but had trouble getting the pads off.

 I

 didn't want to risk ripping the rubber cover since I wasn't sure if

 I'd

 keep the earphones.  I never got to experiment to see if using

 different

 earpads would help with the bass problem.

 I convinced myself to return the earphones to the store because of the
 bass issue, but the sheer clarity of the sound haunted me for days

 after.

 Instead, I bought a pair of Sennheiser CX300s, which sounded just as
 good as my old Sonys.  They aren't really sound isolating, but they
 deliver a good, even sound.  No complaints at all.  Problem is that those
 Shure earphones were SO good,  I couldn't deny the massive difference in
 quality.

 Now that my ears got a taste of the really good stuff, they weren't
 havin' the Sennheisers, so I went online this evening

 Yeah, I have this one: http://www.discogs.com/release/1195471

 I really liked the Soultek remix on this one.  He was the only one that tried

 my book, but I could have lived with out one of the Echospace mixes and the 
 Convextion mix is just forgettable.

 As for the digital files, I really like the S Y N T H mix, and Sean Deason 
 isn't bad at all, again a real different feal all together on that one.  If 
 you ask me, the Echospace unreleased dub should have been on the record 
 instead of the one that is there now.

 Since Stephen Hitchell was forced to sell MP3s because of so many being 
 distributed for free that it could maybe work in reverse?  I am thinking of 
 sending him a letter and letting him know that I am going to D/L it 
 illegally, and pay for it when it comes out on vinyl...

 of course I wouldn't D/L it illegally ;-)

Just got an email from a friend about the last night at Yellow:

After collectively playing for about 31 hours, (along with Joaquin
'Joe' Claussell, Laurent Garnier, Danny Krivit)  the last sequence
was:

John Coltrane A Love Supreme into
Vangelis Love Theme (Blade Runner OST) overlaid with a poem by Maya

 Subject: Re: (313) reporting from Tokyo.. Theo

 This should be said: Techno is a lot bigger than
 Berlin-minimal, and one could remain a Techno DJ and never
 touch a track from Richie or Magda's USB drive.  There are
 many DJs -- Claude Young, Dan Bell, Rob Hood, Buzz Goree, Ken
  Karl Meier, Alan Oldham, Mike Huckaby  come immediately to
 mind -- who stay more on the techno side of the fence and
 still manage to do interesting, dynamic, butt-moving sets.

 And of course, all of the people mentioned above will drop a
 house record if it fits what they're doing.

 What I'm finding interesting is that it's not just that mnml DJs are
 changing their tune(s) but that promoters are booking guests who
 would
 have
 been outside of their comfort zone 18 months ago. For instance the
 Run
 parties here in London were ostensibly quite mnml (and/or minimal)
 and
 now
 they have Alton Miller booked for their next party. I really wouldn't
 have
 seen that coming. Have a look at their past guests and you'll see
 what
 I
 mean: http://www.runsounds.com/events/

 Another thing that I think might be unique about this is that it's a
 younger
 crowd who are now being fed unapologetic deep house. And quality
 older
 house
 as well. This trend has nothing to do with being the most current
 (yet).
 God
 knows in what horrible way this will get compartmentalised and
 repackaged
 over the next year or two if the trend persists, but it's an
 interesting
 moment Right Now, for whatever that's worth.

From what I know, certain people in Detroit with influence already
expressed their views (ie take a break this year and plan carefully)
and Paxahau chose to go on. These people are still supportive of
Paxahau, which is great.

In turn, I just feel we should now be at least be supportive of
Paxahau, rather than write off and whinge about everything. If you
feel so strongly about the steps they have taken, why not just write
to them directly?

If the community on the ground in Detroit is being supportive, then at
least we should be too.

We should be writing about the things we are excited to see in
Detroit, rather than the things we don't want to see.

i think we can all agree that it's not going to be like the first
couple of DEMFs and I really think that we should all stop bitching
about how it could be or why it is. IT'S NOT GOING BACK THAT WAY SO
GET OVER IT.

I have long given up on wishing for the old DEMF and I just look
forward to use it as a reason to get out to Detroit, and of course I
could always go out there whenever I want but it's just a good reason.
I like seeing Detroit in a happy state, it's good to see people get
together just to hang out, it's good to have a reason just to go that
weekend.

I can still go to the after parties, still catch the older/ classic
detroit artists and djs on their own small stage, and that is fine
with me. Maybe I will skip the large stages with their happy
commercial or miimalist popular crap, but if that's what gets the
festival going, then so be it.

Sure a lot of people just to come to listen to other types of
electronic music, and so be it. I'm glad people are trekking out to
Detroit, on the very least level that's a great thing because it's not
like there is a lot going for the city, and it needs trade and
commerce to flow into the city, however that may be.

Obviously, it is better to run an event where there is potential to
make $, rather than run it at a loss just to cater for us fanactic
hardcore fans, and I think that is something that I have come to
realise. Sure it sounds defeatist, sell out, whatever you call it, but
it's damn hard putting on an event and I'm happy that they have one at
all. And I'm sure they can run it better, but man, I think we all go
tto realise that it's not just about us on this list, but a broader
audience out there. And if it can bring in some much needed $ into
Det, then I'm all for it.

  Identity is important, especially in this age of omni-culture and

  being just another venue, and it's certainly of inescapable importance
  when it comes to Detroit. Imagine a blues festival set in the
  Mississippi Delta, the birthplace of the blues, with a line-up
  dominated by Stevie Ray Vaughn and BB King style blues? I'm sure some
  locals would be excited to see some exotic music, good for them, but
  that sentiment is rather worthless in the face of preserving and
  celebrating the area's preeminent culture and identity.

  The festival has become a celebration of popular (dance music)
  culture, which is an obvious move. It's understandable. It's easier.
  It's safer. However I don't think the approach has borne out better
  results than the old Festivals which were actual celebrations of
  Detroit style dance music. But I'm glad they are managing the festival
  competently, unlike previous incarnations, so that it can continue and
  perhaps find it's own identity and mojo again.

noted. but this whole thread has been so taxing, and i feel it is the
same comments on this list every year.

I am over it, that's why I endured the long list of whinging that goes
on this list before I posted. sure it can be improved, why not. but
what I realised, esp after going last year, and having spent this year
in the states, is how hard it is just to get stuff going, planning an
event, raising $ getting attendance etc, and while it's all well and
good about hoping for the best, I think we can all cut Paxahau some
slack and let the festival improve gradually. things can always be
better but I don't know if you all realise how negative you all sound,
as if it was better if it wasn't happening at all.

  No one is crying about it. You don't have to abandon all critical
  discourse to accept what it is now. Some people care about that stuff.
  How about you get over it and let people talk about what they want to
  and you don't try and shout them down? Especially since it's actually
  about Detroit for a change?

  I don't think anyone is wishing for the old DEMF, we want a new DEMF
  that improves. We wanted that even after the first year.

  It's quite an assumption to assert the festival has been a loss or a
  success because of the fanatic or popular appeal of the lineup. I
  think you are wrong. I think this is simply an easy and safe approach
  that mis-judges the audience. We exchanged headz for ravers, and I
  think it doesn't take a brain surgeon to tell you which audience is
  more loyal and less transient. Europeans were everywhere in the early
  years. Attendance was exponentially larger, even taking into account
  the flawed surveys. It was readily apparent that attendance was much
  larger, and sure many would not have been there had it not been free,
  but don't underestimate the appeal of an event that let's a population
  celebrate their own culture. I'm sure as many people would have paid
  for tickets then as do now, if not more. The big sponsors were there.
  The media interest was there. The festivals were simply mis-managed,
  and opportunities were missed. Spending was unchecked. Even small
  artists were actually paid generously! There has been all sorts of
  restructuring. You're jumping to conclusions that I really don't think
  are substantiated.You don't have to assume that because things are the
  way they are that's the best way they can be. A little criticism does
  not mean you are renouncing the whole thing. I am thankful for the
  festival and everything it brings to Detroit and all the people that
  work to make it happen.

I agree with Kent. Selling out is about compromising values.

I will also add - An artist has to eat - and it's great that they have
other means of income other than just make records. Better something
cool like an adidas ad, than say flipping burgers or being stuck in an
office. Face it, not much $ is being made on making records.

I have NFI really about a grammy. if you get nominated, it'd be sweet
to get a chance to win one. I'm sure there is a lot of politicking and
bias etc going on, but if I were an artist and people appreciated my
recordings and nominated me, I wouldn't be complaining. And I dont'
think you'd be either.

 Hey there everyone...

 Just a quick little update. Over the weekend, I spoke with Ron's family.
 They're hanging in there as best as they can. I delivered the money I'd
 collected from the Memorial Fund so far -- I'm proud to say that we've
 passed the $500 mark so far. Well, I'm both proud AND surprised. At first
 I thought, this man did so much for us and all we could collect for him was
 $500? Then a few other things came to mind. I know that over this past
 weekend, there was at least ONE MORE funeral. (There were a few deaths last
 week alone that shook Detroit to its core.) I wonder if people had assumed
 that Ron's funeral was LAST Saturday instead of THIS COMING Saturday.

 For those who took a moment to help support Ron's Memorial Fund

 who haven't, it's not too late. We'll be collecting donations all the way
 until the day of the funeral -- at which time, I'll distribute the proceeds
 directly to the family. I even plan to keep the fund going for a while
 afterwards, just to remind Ron's family that we are not forgetting about
 them -- OR Ron.

 Again, a big thank you to everyone who took the time to give whatever they
 could -- even if it was just a prayer. Let's continue to spread the love.
 Right now, we ALL could use a little bit more...

Re: (313) Artist Compensation?

2007-10-25 Thread M Ng
At the small end of the scale I think it really depends on the label's
business model and (hopefully) what works out best for both parties.

Things I have seen are (and not mutually exclusive)

* copies of the work instead of $
* outright payment - although I would never advise anyone to 'sell'
but instead, to 'licence'
* royalties from collecting agencies
* a cut of the $ from sales

All of these things are subject to manufacturing and/or distributing
costs as well. (well you need to work out what you want - a
distribution deal, or a manufacturing deal, or both?)

I have seen some pretty bad contracts from indie labels so I wouldn't
just automatically assume that an indie label will give you a better
deal...

This is just some general advice. I'm sure people on the list have had
more specific experience and can enlighten you further!

 So if Producer A  writes a track, how does he/she sell it to a small
 electronic label?  Is he/she paid a one-time fee for the track or are
 they given a percentage based on how many prints of the track sell?
 I'm interested in how this works with our music and small labels, not
 the rest of the music world.

 Maybe some of the people on here who've been producing for years can
 illuminate this for us?

 Obviously the focus should always be on the ends (good music) and not
 the means (how much $$ am I getting for it), but this seems like an

   After charging 15 on prepaid tickets and $25 at the door after 11pm, I
   would have thought a better evening would be ahead.
  
   I get the feeling new york locals are a bit too into themselves

Thanks, it sounds like it. i couldn't find a sample of it except some
light headed version that is on some mix cd on amazon.. but def that's
it. thanks!

Sorry it took me so long to get back with this. I actually have been
away from my 'puter and completely forgot. Upon playing it to myself
(again) I remembered that it meant something to someone else. My bad.
Doobies for breakfast while fresh off holiday seems to do that. So
without further ado, it's this tune:

http://www.discogs.com/release/297886

except it's not the matty mixes and wasn't released on peppermint jam.
It's the original and the sting international mix. The a side is the
sting intl mix with a version. The b side is the original and a song
called beneath.

the original is a much spacier mix with the same vocal and heavier kick
and all kinds of changing pads floating eerily around. The mix you liked
was the sting international mix where evidently they did all kinds of
live instrumentation as there are drum prog, piano, trumpet, sax, bass
and keys credits on the label. It doesn't really say what the label is
that's releasing it. The runout etching says DTX006 (dance trax maybe?).
anybody good with catnumbers? Oh and the label doesn't say featuring soy
sos on mine either (or any of the other stuff I've got by them come to
think of it) it says MKL vs. SOY SOS ...way harder. Plus, I wonder how
this SOY SOS character feels about being all of a sudden relegated to
featuring. Versus sounds so much more like you're a peer. Featuring
sounds like someone's putting you on. Just thinking and drinking...
whatevs...

k
mwnb

a crap! Right after I finished writing all of that, I got the bright
idea to search for the full mkl vs. soy sos (searching for mkl alone
yielded the above result) and found the dang record on discogs. After
all that describing and ish, here it is. And it WAS dance trax! Boo yah!

Subject: (313) Track Moodymann dropped... what is it?  a quick nyc
update

Hey guys

Just a quick update NYC

Moodymann played at Shelter on the 17th, nice little party with him
playing behind a screen (no facing the front!). He'd dropped some
really great deep tracks, speak on the microphone and everyone had a
great time.

This one track, he played i have no idea what it is but it was so very
deep ... i captured it on video on my camera:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8EzVsdaJBg

[this will also give you an idea of how everyone was also dancing
around]

Carl played at Demon nights last night. Unfort he was BAD in that it
was more of a uplifting NY sound with no SOUL.. i think Dang spent the
nite getting him to play this one track. Ok it was fun but I've seen
him funk it up big time and tonight unfort was not it. It ws probably
the crowd of 18 year olds or whatever. :(

I have come to the realisation that I prefer the relatively empty
venue and a DJ that is uncompromising (eg Jeff, Juan, Moodymann)
rather than a full venue and bad music.

cheers

Re: (313) on another subject..

2007-06-14 Thread M Ng

Thanks for putting this up!!

For eveyrone else I think it is roughly 55 minutes in.

There was so much energy there, great show, and i think all the
touring the guys have done have now made them put on a really really
awesome show.

BTW I was talking to Lenny about touring and he said they can fit all
their gear into 20 kg and they made their whole thing plug and play so
it's pretty easy to get them out to play. So if you know someone who
can put on a party you should definitely get them to come and play

Given that the limit from the USA to Australia is 2 suitcases of 30 kg
each that is a pretty awesome thing they managed to get it all into
that.

they had it together back when i saw them at fabric 2002 .. or was it
very early 2003. That was with all the brothers. they are now even
better than that, even when there is 2 of them.

no matter how good they were. their live set in 05 left much to be

hear theyve got it together, id really like to see them now!

 yeah, they've got a great setup now - played with them in vienna last
 year and they were able to put it all together and soundcheck in less
 than 45 minutes.  was impressive how many bits and pieces they kept
 pulling out of their flightcases!  surprised it's all so light...
 was even more impressive at the festival as they had to set it all up
 offstage and then just carry it on with 5 minutes left to plug it in to
 the system.  and no soundcheck...
 ...lovely people too :)

To be honest i have never heard any of his sets.  Sounds like an

 Thats the problem with techno though the term itself is very

 Regarding Shake's performance - I think it just shows that really
 solid tracks and an extremely personable DJ are important performance
 skills. I was standing 2' from him and we were all having a great
 time. His irreverent style and ability to emanate a good vibe seemed
 more important to the performance than technical wizardy without
 feeling. That was my take-away, something I'm going to remember next
 time I start stressing over a missed transition that everyone will
 forget about the next day.  Thank you Shake, someone who remembers
 how to party!
