Quality production in the 60's is like home-made-track quality 10 years ago (at best). There were only analog recording techniques and the beatles experimented a lot with tape loops and stuff, so you get a layer of hiss. I like the sound of the beatles a lot, it's not perfect as loads of people think. Cheers, Maarten

I fully agree. The professional recording studio is the worst invention ever :-) You need to build your own equipment, like King Tubby did ;-) Take a listen to those mid 60's garage rock recordings. What a sound. When I hear a guitar on the radio now, it sounds so impotent. It has no feeling at all. That's what a professional recording studio does to your sound. I hate quality production. Give me a rhythim is rhythim record any day! Love that raw sound. Cheers, Maarten

(313) mess i made
Hi, I noticed that the rotating assembly's "mess i made" (appears on the natural aspirations album) is a cover of a song originally written by ltg exchange (listen here: http://music.rushhour.nl/shop/31185.mp3). I didn't notice any credits on the vinyl sleeve of the natural aspirations album. That makes it stealing, right? I thought that when covering a song, you always should mention the original composer.

BTW: I love Moritz :-) Too bad he's putting all his efforts on the Burial Mix label, wich has releases that are hit or miss, the latter more than the former. Now that I am discovering dub (lee perry, congos, ...), the M series sound much more dub to my ears (in spirit) than the Burial Mix ones! Really. Cheers, Maarten - http://www.morthenkiang.com/
Re: (313) Quest for da Booty
Hi friends, you want to know something ackward? The oldest 313 archived email at http://elists.resynthesize.com was posted by B. Wright Keller on july the 1st 1994, and the content is very alike to this thread. I posted the whole email below, but want want to mention the last paragraph first: "Note: I am highly opposed to those incredibly tacky, misogynist hard house tracks that were popular at places like the Sound Factory a couple of years back, like "Beat that Bitch with a Bat" by Club America. There is no excuse for dance music like this. Campy sex lyrics are fine by me, though." ISN'T THAT FUNNY? Yep, the first archived 313 email, woohoo! Here is the full version: "Regarding this whole uproar over Blake Baxter's sexually explicit lyrics, I think that it is necessary to consider the cultural context of Baxter's music before making any snap judgements. First off, the earliest record that I know of that uses the phrase "Work This P#ssy" was recorded by Sweet P#ssy Pauline, a New York City drag queen who released a record in the late eighties containing an acapella monologue that builds up to the line, "Work this p#ssy you big, ugly, bean-eating motherf#cker" (or something to that effect). That record spawned a whole array of "Work This P#ssy" spin-off records including the legendary "Work That Motherf#cker" (artist ID?). These records were big in gay house clubs in Chicago and New York at the time. In this context, the phrase is like a drag queen in-joke, part of the whole campy experience of dressing in drag. Now considering Baxter's past as a Chicago House producer, he is doubtlessly familiar with the language of gay clubs. In fact, he put out a little known jem called "Bitch" a couple of years ago that affects this same kind of attitude with the hook "Am I a bitch, yes. Am I a ho, no. You wanna f#ck? Let's go." This record came out about the same time as his "Hot Body" (a brilliant Sylvester-style sex anthem), and both records were pushed in the urban gay market. Now he's come out (no pun intended) with the lyric "Work that p#ssy", no doubt an homage to Sweet P#ssy, et al, and the lyrics, "Got to lick it, got to get it up, got to stick it, you got to let me nut." This reminds me more of an underground classic called "Lick It" on one of those Black Tracks (?) compilations out of Chicago, that went, "Gotta lap it up, lick it, slurp it down." I remember seeing people go nuts to this record when it was hot. Anyway, my whole point is: judge artwork in it's own cultural context, and realize that words have different meanings coming from different mouths." Note: I am highly opposed to those incredibly tacky, misogynist hard house tracks that were popular at places like the Sound Factory a couple of years back, like "Beat that Bitch with a Bat" by Club America. There is no excuse for dance music like this. Campy sex lyrics are fine by me, though." Cheers, Maarten - http://www.morthenkiang.com
Re: (313) Quest for da Booty
The way I see it 'beat that bitch with a bat' ain't fun whether it's in a film, book, newspaper or a booty track. But that's probably a bad example, because the words have more of a violent content rather than a sexual. Anyways, I just think you have to take all this kind of stuff too seriously. Cheers, Maarten
Re: (313) Quest for da Booty
I see it as sexist and homophobic. Which is exactly what it is, so dont try and argue the point. I think that's the point. I wouldn't like it that much if the vocals weren't insulting to women. Clearly, the simplicity of the music implies that we can't take seriously the stuff they are saying. So I don't have a problem with it. It's a stereotype they put on. So it's all about having a little fun. Don't know if the ladies like it as much... ;-) Cheers, Maarten

Re: (313) Quest for da Booty
Hi Matt, detroit grand pubahs - dr. bootygrabber no repeating vocals. lyrics are quite narrative. It's a fresh track. But I still would prefer a track where the clap is not only on the 2nd and 4th beats, but on all of them. And the bpm should be 135 or more. And the vocals more dirty. And the bass a little louder. To make a long horse short: there may be no form of intelligence in the track whatsoever. ;-)) Cheers, Maarten
Re: (313) Quest for da Booty

(313) Quest for da Booty
Hi, I am looking for a top (let us say) 10 of Booty records of all times. I rediscovered the genre by talking about that dave clarke show yesterday. I did a quick search on juno and was that Dj Funk has a new ep out on Dance Mania. This might as well be the first record released in 2005 that I purchase (didn't buy the sun god ep after all). I particuly like the track "Booty Clap 2" and the rework of "Work that Motherf#cker". The rest of the tracks aren't that interesting. I only have one booty record in my collection (Dj Milton - Trax 4 Daze, of Mayday mix fame), and I am looking for a second one: "Dj J.R. Dione - Do Me Baby" (for the classic "Bump & Grind Time", wich was a Dave Clarke favourite back in the day). Can you recommend other classic Booty stuff? As usual, I am looking for the best of the best. So what's your favourite booty record of all times? I allready know Ass-N-Tities ;-) I know there is a good record of Dj Deeon, with a house rework of "Is It All Over My Face" on it, don't know the title of that release, though.

Strong selections though, for techno,... raw > and hard hitting jack trax too. Hmm, I think his show here was called "dave clarke worldwide" and between the tracks he played recorded messages of other dj's raving about dave clarke ;-) He was a great dj back then. I remember his dj set at "I Love Techno" in Ghent in '98. It was amazing. It's untrue. He mixed a lot of double copies. Just letting two of the same records play (so you hear a phaser) with a 2 bar hook, then he hold the first record for a beat and puts it back in, so now you have a repeating hook of 1 beat long. It was crazy. Then he dropped "Lil Louis - Original Video Clash" at 135 BPM. How did he do that? That track is 115 BPM or something? And putting it at 45 would be too fast. Every 30 seconds there was a new track coming out of the speakers, with a totaly different sound. I don't have the mix anymore and don't find it on soulseek, but I need it so much. It's entertaining. Cheers, Maarten
Re: (313) Ann Clarke - big in detroit (?) sonicsunset.com
Hi Matt, > Ha!! well thanks for your support Maarten the difference may be > they are commercially funded by radio advertisers? We are fortunately > not advertiser supported, which means we are sort of living in a fools' > paradise. ;) well, they get their funds of my tax money! So they are supported by governement money, collected from the citizens. No advertisment. But as I understand it, they have to reach a 6% market share to get some more funds or something. So what they want to get more people listening to their station, and that's probably why they are a bit more on the commercial side of things as they used to be five years ago. In the '97-'98 period they had every week a Dave Clarke show (when he was still a great dj, with a wide selection in music). And he once dedicated a whole show on Chicago Booty (Dj Funk, Deeon, etc.). That was awesome. Last year they had dj Godfather over, but this is the last half hour I remember as being great. They fill their time mostly with overrated hyped up electro inspired house with the same cold impotent synth sounds all the way thru. Ah well... hoping for a better time to come. Cheers, Maarten

> That particular show was a solo ride by dave siska so I dunno even know > the track... but I've CC'd him. I've probably lied today by telling on a forum that Sonic Sunset is the best radioshow in the world at the moment ;-) I was complaining about the quality of the belgian house/techno related show SWITCH on the Studio Brussel station. They are playing way too much Electro-House for my taste. They assured me it is not possible to deliver quality and still have a large audience. Then I talked about SS. I don't know hom many listeners you have... but there are 6 million Dutch speaking belgians, and 10 million people in chicago? And the studio brussel station has about 4% market share. So it could be that you have as much listeners. And even if they have 5 times more, your show is 10 times better. So you beat them with a ratio of 2. :-) Cheers, Maarten

Re: (313) terrace is back !!!
Is that an Albert Einstein speech on the 2nd track? If it is, that's something great. He's my hero, E=mc^2 boys! all the way! It's a shame they abused that formula. Also, I am digging the sun god's relics & artifacts track, I just wonder what synth he is using on that track. It sounds like the synth Larry Heard used on his early Mr. Fingers and Fingers inc. projects. Cheers, Maarten - www.morthenkiang.com
Re: (313) What's happening in Prague?
Jason, I bought my first two non-gabber records (in the year 2000) in the Disko Duck store in Prague (http://www.diskoduck.cz/index_eng.php) on a school trip: Laurent Garnier - Unreasonable Behaviour (F-com) 2x12" Jeff Mills - If/Tango (PM 009) 12" I allready sold bought of them, although I still own the laurant garnier album on CD. I like it, but don't play it out, so I don't need it on vinyl. Can't judge if they had a good stock back then, because LG and JM were the only names I recognized :-) Cheers, Maarten

However, I note that a lot of your criticisms seem to center on the fact that much of the SS stuff seems a bit loopy. I wonder if you ever considered that much of it might be intended for use as 'DJ gear' rather than appreciated as 'songs' or 'tracks'? << You can make a great dj track with a lot of stuff going on in the song. Take "kaos" by Derrick May for example. It's a dancefloor track, but it is really entertaining. And that's what I'm looking for in a "dance" track. Most of the time, those theo parrish records are a bit too long. Even my favourite of them all, roots revisited, stays interesting for about 4 minutes. Wich is a shame, because those first minutes are amazing, IMHO. And Alex, I know they are exploring new artistic possibilities, wich is a good thing 'in se'. But like you say, they just don't seem to do it that well. And I also know they are putting some effort in these things, but I can't do anything else than conclude that their earlier stuff is much better. Still, I think the "sound sampler" cd consist mainly of tracks wich were made between lunch and dinner. (as a matter of speech) Cheers, Maarten

The "being easy" part was more intended for the sound sampler CD, not for the rotating assembly stuff. I'm sure he has put a lot of effort in the rotating assembly stuff, but it's not my cup of tea. It never comes close to the funk and jazz-funk records from the 70ies.
Re: (313) New Records
> maybe you can tell what you really dig actually, i thought you are/were > a big theo fan as well... Don't get me wrong, I *was* a big SS and TP fan, just before the release of the Rotating Assembly stuff. I adore his earlier SS records. I really do. I play them a lot. But I just feel he is making things a bit easy on himself lately and wanted to point this out. And I don't like doing it. Same story goes mutatis mutandis for Moodymann. I just don't feel his newer stuff but honestly think "a silent introduction" is the best house album of all times (so I rate it higher than mr. fingers' "amnesia" for instance), and I heard a lot of house albums, believe me. It's even on my "breathtaking albums" list at http://www.morthenkiang.com/wwcf.html (wich is still very limitative, because I know sh*t about music ;-) ). The problem with this list is that these are almost all classics, so I need to find out more about underrated and more obscure stuff. Cheers, Maarten

Re: (313) New Records
> p.s.: can anyone confirm that the tracks from new sound signature comp > are going to be released on vinyl? i hope that so much... The Hanna track is quite good, albeit not being special or original in any kind of way. A good opener. The track by TOM (Theo Parrish, Omar-S and Marsellus Pitman) is based around a 707 loop with a little bassline coming in near the middle. It's a pretty boring track tough. The track by Jerry The Cat has a real irritating vocal, follow by some more irritating vocals and some uninspired drumming. There is a track with vocals from Umar Bin Hassan. He has never sounded so ridiculous. Of course, it's because of the music. There seems to be some kind of guitar solo in it (done with a synth). The worst track I have heard in a couple of years. Take a listen to the track by Howard Thomas. I challenge you to make a track more boring than that one. You couldn't! The Piranha track is a deephouse track with female vocals. I won't comment on that one, because I am biased. That is, I feel a deep deep hate towards anything that even sounds like smooth deephouse with vocals. The Theo Parrish track has a nice loop. Too bad it's just 4 bars in a loop. Why would you want to release that? The best loop of the whole CD is probably in the green pickles track. Very minimal drums, but again, no variation at all. Also the vocals are far from good. Marsellus Pitman delivers an acid house track. The sounds are good. But it seems he got stuck in pattern mode?? The sound signature gang seems troubled with a lack of inspiration and vision. By far the worst CD of the SS catologue. AVOID! Cheers, Maarten

(313) technical question
Hi, the A side of my copy of prince's 1999 has some distortion on the vocals, especially on "little red corvette". The overall quality of the a-side is quite bad, actually. The other sides of this double album sound so much better. Could it be that the previous owner listened a lot to the a side and didn't bother about the other cuts, or is this distorted sound on the A-side a matter of recording quality (so it would be on all the pressings, at least of this run). Anyone got an idea? Cheers, Maarten - http://www.morthenkiang.com/
(313) OT: The Monks
Hi, does anyone know how rare the original album "Black Monk Time" (1966: The Monks) is? I know there is a bootleg called "black time" around with some additional tracks, but before I buy a bootleg, I want to be sure the original is almost impossible to get a hold of. Some nice 'pre-punk' (can't think of a better term). Thanks a bunch, Maarten - http://www.morthenkiang.com/

At 11 minutes in he plays "the balled of dorothy parker" by Prince. Now there you have a track! And at 27 minutes he plays a track he sampled for "forverernevermore", I think... And then he plays a Rhythim Is Rhythim track! MOVE IT. An edit to be precise. Thanks for sharing, Martin! Cheers, Maarten

If it is the 'real' joe smooth, i really feel sorry for him. HAHA I really wonder how you can turn a timeless masterpiece (strings of life) and a not-bad-at-all pop record (lose my breath) in such an aweful piece of music. You must be really gifted to do that.

And if you didn´t have that, you didn´t get signed. The problem today is that they have turned music into selling bags of potato chips where everybody sounds alike, looks alike and that's what's the problem is today" I couldn't say it better!

Re: (313) top ten
Dear Stewart, maarten your taste is crap! ;P funny you say that. First, a lot of the stuff you like, I like too and vice versa. I just don't buy as much records as you do. Second, one of my favourite records is downlow 001, one of your records. I am also in love with the "todas las noches" ep on delsin. I don't think that's crap. I think a lot of people would agree I have a great taste. I might be a bit too critical at times, that's definitely the case. I also think a lot of people would agree there is relatively less interesting music coming out than 5 years ago (in house and techno anyway). I hear a lot of people complain about this. This was the point I was trying to make (and being tired as I am, I relied a bit too much on bold statements and one-liners, I apologize). Still, I think 2004 was not a good year for house and technno music. Cheers, Maarten - http://www.morthenkiang.com
Re: (313) top ten
Hi Alex! 1) ron hardy - ron's edits vol.2 [ ron's edits 002 ] -> infamous edits 3) ron hardy - ron's edits vol.1 [ ron's edits 001 ] -> legendary ron hardy edits I know you're aware of this. These two records are COPIES of Ron Hardy edits. I have them both and agree that they are EXCELLENT. I am aware of this, Alex. However, you're saying in one post the three chairs lp is all looped up and not that good, and these tracks are looped to f**k Alex, don't you see there is much more action going on in the edit of "let no man put asunder", than in, for instance, "blackbone waltz" on the three chairs lp. Don't you hear that? I would not say the "let no man put asunder" is a loop. There is a lot of variation in it. The track is a sequence of loops, wich is a different thing. It's amazing, really. Come on... I like most of theo's stuff, but he can be hit or mis. And this is a mis IMHO. There is just too little variation in it. I actually have nothing against loops. But if you loop it, it better be good. Example: Grain! He can loop a loop properly. ;) not digging no Morgan Geist shiz this year? You got that new Kerri Chandler? Erm, gawd, theres been ALOT of good house this year IMO. No Kenny Dixon stuff taking your fancy? What about M&G? And... I could go on I really don't dig the new KDJ tracks. Don't you think that the early KDJ's are much better? Of course you do, Alex. I´m sure. Cheers, Maarten
Re: (313) top ten
if its so easy, why cant i find tons of house records as good as this one? I truly belief (I mean what I say now) there has not been released more than five good house records this year. Of course the 3 chairs album is one of the best if you compare it to the majority of the records coming out today. But if you compare it to the records coming out in the period '85 - '99... you have another story. Cheers, Maarten
Re: (313) top ten
Hmmm... these are the 8 records released in 2004 that I bought. I checked most of the other stuff coming out, really. I just think there is not much interesting stuff out there at the moment...

Re: (313) top ten
1. 3 Chairs lp Hmmm isn't it a bit too easy to make a 7 minute repeating loop (as is the case with most of the tracks on this lp)? If "underwater people" wouldn´t be on this album, there wouldn't be a reason for me to buy it. Ah well... most house/techno albums sound a bit uninspired compared to "the secret tapes of dr. eich" (wich I am listening to right now). Don't they? Cheers, Maarten - http://www.morthenkiang.com

Re: (313) ugly edits (full detail)
I have the whites of this comp, but I dont recall the track you guys are talking about. who's track is "falling up" on this 3 pack? I may have to dig it out to see if I somehow overlooked the one good track on the set. The "Falling Up" track is the one by Theo Parrish himself. I think it is the longest track on the B-side. Cheers, Maarten
Re: (313) ugly edits (full detail)
Hi! My feeling is that I love most of what Theo does, but as a (much, much, much) less successful producer, I hear things in otherwise great tracks that are 'wrong' in a way that is a sharp stick in the ear for no discernable artistic reason. Some tracks I want to remaster - mostly run them through a De-Esser, compress the low end to keep it manageable. I actually consider theo parrish to be a GREAT producer. Take a listen to "dan ryan" or "lights donw low (this one mix)". I am sure he spends a lot of time making the sounds sound like they sound. I really dig all the sounds he uses, espacially the Laurel Aitken alike ska 'shakk' in "dan ryan", wich he also used in "twin citys". And I still wonder how he did the kick in "music" it sounds so hard, but the levels are ok. I think everybody agrees that Theo has no studio (I never heard him use a synth, and he uses too much samples and does too much stuff to them to work efficiently with a sampler). He probably has only one all-in studio application on his computer. My guess is he uses Orion or somthing alike (I recongize the typical filters used of the sampler module). The only sounds he uses is stuff recorded from disco, ska, and soul recordings. What he basicly does is sampling an organ, pitching it down 2 octaves an filter it low and put a bit distortion on it. I think this is a very original way of sound processing, it creates a really nice warm, but kind of hard sound. I really like his way of doing things, I enjoy listening to his records very much. Just as I like listening to Carl Craig's early 69 records or paperclip people's "the secret tapes of dr. eich", wich also have a typical lo-fi production. What I do consider to be true is that the production on "friendly children" is really bad, there is just to much bass there, resulting in a really bad press. Maybe the people at peacefrog could press this record better? I don´t know. Also the ugly edits are sometimes to much bass-fueled (and too repetative most of the time). Let me conclude with a top 5 of my favourite theo parrish records (wich I condider to be well produced): 1) lights down low (this one mix) - the tracky mix with loads of noise. 2) dan ryan 3) dance sing 4) music 5) solitary flight Can't wait for the Carl Craig remix of "Falling Up". I had to sell the detroit beatdown compilation because I couldn't bear the tought that I had a triple record pack with only one good track on it. Cheers, Maarten

(313) panic in detroit
Hi, I noticed that the "panic in detroit" compilation on BUZZ (Belgium) is bootlegged (an unofficial repress so to speak). From online audio samples I conclude that the pressing is really bad and there is a lot of surface noise. Can anyone confirm this? Is this record playable? Cheers, Maarten - http://www.morthenkiang.com/

> yup, original copies of likemind 2 and 4 suddenly appeared with classic nuron tracks, as if from another dimension, for the price of a normal 12". made me a happy camper. Ah... now there's a record or two where I would like to make an exception to my "no more than $30 for a 12" rule. Classic stuff! Cheers, Maarten
Re: (313) Re: what's the most people are willing to pay for rekkids?
I paid $150 for 'designer music - good girls'. I wouldn´t do it again though. I bought a sh*tload of records for $60 each, but wouldn´t do that agian either. I did these things in my crazy days, about one year ago ;-) Now I refuse to pay more than $30 dollar for a 12" (and it has to be really rare). Cheers, Maarten
Re: (313) Re: what's the most people are willing to pay for rekkids?
>Jesse Saunders On & On (Jes Say records) 12" 1984 $60.00 I can understand you want to have the original 'first house' recording. Too bad it's a crap track (IMHO). Cheers, Maarten
Re: (313) kenny larkin - metaphor
> Wow, that whole site has some of the most overpriced records Ive ever seen. > The By Night EP on UR is $56!! Its 5.99 at Submerge. Ha! And that guy is from Belgium, just like I am. Ouch.. look at these prices: http://www9.gemm.com/c/search.pl?sid=369995602&key=81817¤cy=US&seller= FREAKYTUNES&filt_section_ignore=1&disp_ad_format_mode=0&table=ads&showall=1& disp_ad_format_type=Regular+Format&S=Browse+All Most of these records can be found in London second hand stores for not over 2 quid. And on a side note: I am cleaning up my collection and I now realized that those new moodymann records (2003/2004) are not that good then I tought they were. They sound way too pollished and clean. I will have to sell them back... The same goes for those amp fiddler ep's on Guinine and the Dwele album on virgin. After being quite excited about them I just can't listen to them anymore. I think J.T. opened my eyes and eares by pointing out that Amp is not much of a good singer. Oh.. and the new $tinkworx ep is great, as is the last record (sides K and L) of the "natural aspirations" album by the rotating assembly (the other records weren´t much though). Cheers, Maarten
(313) re: theo parrish tape
Hi, can anyone id the track playing at 87:30 in this new theo parrish mix? It's a lush disco-soul track with a real smooth bassline. It contains the vocals "nobody can make me feel the way you make me feel, baby" (http://www.deephousepage.com). ta, Maarten - http://www.morthenkiang.com/

This is supposed to be a rework of "the O'Jays - I Love Music". It isn´t one by Hardy... but I forgot who did it. Cheers, Maarten
(313) correction: black mahogani
"Black Mahogani" on the new album is the same as the one on KDJ17. I was wrong when I said that this wasn´t the case. I was judging from the samples on the website from cisco records, but apparently they mixed up some sound files! Sorry. Cheers, Maarten - http://www.morthenkiang.com/

Nope it is a different track. The track "black mahogany" (with an 'y') on KDJ sounds a lot lick "mahogany brown" wich is on the B-side. A stripped down version of that track is on the album "mahogani brown" on peacefrog. Cheers, Maarten
Re: (313) new moodymann album
> Tristan said: > "I don't want to buy this album because Moodymann albums seem to be designed > to miff fans - full stop, with the number of re-released tracks on almost > every one of them. It's not like *this* policy is designed to get the music > into the hands of those who want it most. It just seems to be antagonistic." A good reason to buy the new moodymann album is for the last track. It is called "black mahogani" and was never released before (it is not the same track as "black mahogany" on kdj 17). It sounds like a jazz version of Basic Channel 09. On the album is also some kind of jazz version of runaway wich is really nice. So Tristan... do yourself a favor and buy the album because I know those unreleased tracks are something right up your sleeve. Cheers, Maarten
