RE: (313) RIAA at it again

2007-01-19 Thread Redmond, Ja';Maul
Once again this shows how behind the recording industry is with modern
and (not so Modern, mixtapes) brand of marketing.  What is also very
funny about all of this is that with all of these usless RIAA arrests
and lawsuits against napster and other websites the industry is STILL in
the cellar. As a matter of fact 2006 was the worse year for cd sales
since they've starting registering sales. The number 1 CD of the year
only sold 3.5 million. WHAT's their excuse now? They've cracked down on
illegal downloading; They've made their arrest; Done their scare tatics
and sales are worse than ever.

That's one thing about liking techno -- you don't have to hold your nose

The success couldn't have happened to a nicer, down to earth guy who is
by no means a glory hog. He does like the fame ,,but who in the music or
entertainment business don't. Everyone can't be James Stinson. The
commercial stuff he produces is stuff he's been into for a long time,
whether we like it or not. He's always been into other genres including
mainstream music. To me that's not selling out. If the populus actually
wanted minimal techno loops for their ringtones we all would be rich,
but they don't.

RE: (313) Fuse-In techno (Straight Ahead Techno).

2005-06-02 Thread Redmond, Ja';Maul
While some of you are on the topic of "Straight ahead",
"Bangin","german" or "Looped" techno. I have to say that this years
festival has really made me question my taste of this particular genre. 
 I've always been a fan of this music mainely because of Rob Hood, Old
Mills, Jay Denham and others,therefore I've always defended the likes of
looped based techno.   But with UR completely blowing me away with their
LIVE Band + sequnecer set and the fact that I experienced too many
lifeless, pegged in the red, bang fests from the likes of Steve Stoll
and Luciano, to name a few.  I started to slowly find myself leaving
stages or rooms (at afterparties) that previously would've entyertained
me. As the weekend progressed I found myself advoiding that sound all
together. 

Don't get me wrong, with the right d.j. it still can be inspirational.
Alan Oldham, gave the best DJ performance of the weekend to just 50
people at the EA afterparty and Mike Huckaby played the most eclectic
bangin set @ The Substance afterparty. But all the others started to
sound just repetitive and quite frankly JUST Plain LOUD. Even my own
live set was a bit un-inspirational too myself. 

 The quality and variety of the festival ( Especially electro) really
opened my ears to to some good talent and not just the  majority of
those that can just beat match or produce bangin beats.

RE: (313) Stevie Wonder ? DO NOT PRE_ORDER

2005-05-24 Thread Redmond, Ja';Maul
The Album that was supposed to drop June of 2004 and then pushed back
until May 3rd of this year and then pushed back again until June 14th
and then again until June 21st,,,  May NEVER Drop. As of now it is on
hold with no release date. The label apparently thinks it will not make
any money and decided to shelve it. But what's shady about it is that
MOTOWN has not made a comment on it and still are allowing pre-orders to
be made on their site as well as their major distributors site even
though they have no plans of releasing it yet. Stevie Wonder is back in
the studio RE_Working,,whatever that means,,, the album.

Stevie Wonder also hasn't said much but was on The Tom Joyner Morning
Show and slipped up and said that he's in the studio "WORKING" on the
album. Being that it's a comedy show, they were joking about how one can
still work on an album that is due in less than two weeks. Out of
respect they sort of let it go. Recently a small story on the whole
controversy has finally been posted on Stevie's Site.

No. It was released on Fantasy Records. Quite big label on rock/jazz..
I have no idea how the rights are split between Atkins, Davies and

And Timberland has been quoted as saying that he doesn't listen to
electronic dance music. 

Although "Clear" is as much apart of Hip-Hop history as Techno, I wonder
if they even know that song is from a Techno Pioneer.

RECORDING !

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
APRIL 13, 2005

KRAFTWERK ANNOUNCE SPRING 2005 TOUR AND FIRST EVER-LIVE RECORDING!

NEW YORK, NY -- Astralwerks is thrilled to announce the release of Kraftwerk's 
first-ever official live recording, entitled Minimum Maximum, on June 7th, as 
well as a series of live dates.

Kraftwerk is considered one of the most influential bands in pop history. In a 
career spanning more than 35 years, the German electro pioneers have been 
endlessly saluted and mimicked by each new generation of innovators. In the 
1970s, the post-punk futurists professed their devotion. In the 1980s & 90s, 
the leading lights of Chicago house along with Detroit and Euro-techno paid 
homage. Possibly the most sampled band on the planet, their music continues to 
inspire.

Over the last decade, Ralf Hütter, Florian Schneider, Fritz Hilpert and Henning 
Schmitz have toured the world, and in 2003, as rare and splendid as a returning 
comet in the night sky, Kraftwerk released Tour De France Soundtracks. Now in 
2005, having already electrified the band's global army of disciples and 
following an unforgettable appearance at Coachella 2004, Kraftwerk are 
returning to perform a short series of shows in DC, New York, Detroit, Chicago 
and LA, their first since 1998. Astralwerks will release a 2-CD live set 
entitled Minimum-Maximum on June 7th containing 22 tracks recorded throughout 
Europe, Japan and the US during the band's 2004 world tour. Recorded and mixed 
with Kraftwerk's legendary precision, Minimum-Maximum features all of the 
band's classic compositions alongside their most recent 2004 Billboard Club 
chart hit "Aerodynamik".

Minimum-Maximum tour:

5/30Washington, DC  9.30 Club
5/31Washington, DC  9.30 Club
6/01New York, NYHammerstein Ballroom
6/03Detroit, MI State Theatre

 Quote "So if you have payed your licenses," End Quote

What does this mean? If you payed for your podcast license ( if there is
one) or your licenses to obtain each track you mix? 

If it's the ladder once again, the RIAA has found another way to piss me
off. 

If I'm understanding this correctly, If you do a podcast or Simulcast or
any kind of live feed of your MIX, then that's illegal even if you're
doing it for free.
If that's the case then posting a mix online is illegal, shot djing
period is illegal unless your work for a radio station that has bought
all the licenses to play the songs you play. I always thought you only
need to follow the copyright/publishing laws if you plan on SELLING a
mix.

I maybe misunderstanding all of this, if so please explain further.

Podcasting is covered by the same copyright/publishing laws that are any
other medium is covered.  So if you have payed your licenses,
you have nothing to worry about.   If you're a live musician and this
is YOUR work, you have nothing to worry about. If giving away other
peoples music for free (which is what podcasting does) and have NOT
payed the correct licenses if the music isn't your own work, then yes
they can take you to cleaners.

And the law doesn't care if you are making money or not.  It's the
actual giving away the music that is what breaks the law.


But there are other "copyrights" out there:

That allow other options.

I know this isn't the full story but I wonder how in the world do they
know that they are "illegal" downloads? They could be rips from his own
vinyl catalog. 
 It said they found his laptop @ the club.I thougth the only way they
can prosecute is if first there's proof of actually downloading or file
sharing which usually means acquiring an IP address from the site you're
stealing from. It sounds like they've either been watching this guy for
a long time and have proof of him downloading or they just stumbled
across a laptop with files on them. If it's the ladder they can't do

Subject: (313) detroity DnB

a lot of great dnb i just slept on, thinking it would last forever and
i'd catch up.  how little i knew of UK music trends  ;) now there are so
many cuts i wish i'd have picked up. Charles Noel, Titonton from
Ohio, and others in detroit like Paris and DJ Rotator (even DJ Assault's
early mixes to some degree!) were rocking this stuff at parties and much
of it great.  I had a copy of a Paris mixtape
(cassette) that he reportedly created in order to hand to to Mills when
he was in the D for one weekend... one side was super dope minimal
detroit techno all cut-n-paste mixed Claude style.. the flip side was
all very detroity feeling DnB.  No idea where it is now... sigh.. but
brilliant from front to back.

Anyway,  DnB to me, coming from a learning to Dj in a techno background,
it was hard to keep up with and -- like any great imports
-- a finite amount of it came to Record Time and the best of the best
stuff disappeared quickly.  I'd love to hear anyone/everyone take a
crack at the best jungle/DnB mixes that employ that whole 'detroity
feeling'... from Jacob's Optical Stairway to Lemon D to 4 Hero to LTJ to
the better Photek to whoever else you feel represents the best of the
(this is sad to say) 'golden era' of dnb, before it mutated into
something unreconizable, something that felt like you never really knew
it to begin with.  I know this thread comes up once a year but i need
some mixes to go with it...  School me.  My iPod is a yearnin'

Someone in detroit get Brian Gillespie to rock a mix from this era,  he
had *everything*... first time i ever saw someone in the US sporting a
Metalheads t-shirt to a Family Funktion party...  he was all over it.

At long last, I saw Twonz play during the festival in the big back room

told me about him in 1994 or thereabouts.

He was the skinny guy playing really, really fast.  Afterward, my head

I am majorly confused. How can you re-edit a song without permission. I
had a friend who used to do those  old "ulti-mixes" things and from
about 85' on they were legally forced to license everything. It's
strange that they can do anything to a "Rick James" for example and then
sale it, even if it's just hard quantizing. 

Which leads me to my next question. What do you serious minded d.j.s
think of these "fixed tempo" or quanitizing of live percussion music.

my guess is that these tracks are 'temponized' (fixed tempo to allow
steadier mixing) and re-edited so that the structure is more suitable
for mixing (and work better for some djs).

there's quite a lot of this going on at the moment. re-edits are still
quite a big thing as far as i can see.

> merely bootlegging 80's tracks to vinyl? is this what people are 
> spending their money on now-a-days?

i think i may have asked a similar question about the difference between
an edit and a bootleg. i don't think the answer is that straightforward
tho. i can see both sides (ie. 'yeah it's no different to bootlegging'
and 'nah there's some creative input involved so it ain't a bootleg').

i think most re-edits though are done without permission. so make of
that what you will.

Too many chin-scratchers makes for dull vibe. Not enough leaves no
quality control. This is waay too much chin scratching. Deciding on
whether to see an artist based on his kit? Come on. Your going to see
the artist not his tools. Part of that experience is the chance that he
might do something unexpected, whether it works or not is up to the
connection between the artist, the audience and the artistic execution.
Personally I'm a big fan of the

As for: "It's more DJ set or Performers own material" well Ricardo was
creating drums and just strange noises and triggering them by hand, and
Richie was sampling records and playing with those, much like most
musicians do these days with samples.

So were they live or DJ'ing?

I agree 99% with everything you said,,:) The only thing that I beg to
differ with is that there's no one to blame. 

I believe the gluten of those easily produced copy-cat records were the
cause. I too enjoyed techstep when it first came out, But I also
remember that, once upon a time, it used to be the smallest selection in
the records stores. The sub-genre used to only included the top notch
producers in d-n-b. With the ease of sample based sequencer software and
hordes of "TECHSTEP" samples being available, every below average djing
crew in America started releasing records. Then the upper-class but
angry youth of EDM finally had a music they can relate to, something
they can be aggressive to, something they can bob their head and flaunt
their masculinity to, Something they can finally flaunt there hip-hop
posing to. And most importantly something they themselves can go home
and produce without having to think too much. With all of that, we get
the epidemic of the all night long tech-step parties. 

I stopped listening to dnb and thought artist like 4 hero and Photek
with their more minimal style of production were a closer tie to Detroit
techno. Besides both of those artist state D-town as an influence. 

But Then 4 hero evolved and started doing more abstract jazz and R&B and
Photek, for whatever reason, gave up the fight and started producing the
very same tech-step that he spoke out against in the late 90's. Go
figure.

One of the strange miracles of dance music is how "Just Want Another
Chance" spawned an entire dead-end genre, techstep.

Don't mean to ignite any flamewars with techstep fans here, but as
brilliant and prefigurative as those early Reese records are, one
bassline snippet only goes so far.

I really enjoyed techstep when it got started, it added nice flavor to a
set, but when you started hearing hour after hour of nothing- but from
the crew-of-the-moment DJs, it wore out quickly.  I feel kind of bad
about saying that because the "Another Chance" 
bassline really is cool, but the dominance of techstep in 1998-99 cut
off the air supply of a lot of other related genres, and I pretty much
stopped playing any of it despite DJing jungle/d&b since early 1994 when
"Original Nuttah" and Omni Trio finally hit the west coast.

There's noone to blame for it, really, certainly not Ed Rush, Optical,
Nico and the other originators of this, who had a lot of really creative
stuff at the beginning and not surprisingly mined the sound for all it
was worth.  But then there were a thousand imitators  It's just one of
those trends that smothered itself.

RE: (313) jeff samuals review/gear question

2004-11-08 Thread Redmond, Ja';Maul
He's played in Charlotte twice and it was EXTREMELY boring. He didn't
even play the extreme minimal stuff here. He played a bunch of
Overly-produced stuff similar to his productions at that time.

But like the first guy said the girls were loving it.  I left after
about 45 min. both times.

>a little boring to me.   He was a lazy dj though, letting tracks run
out and then quick mixes out.  I was kinda shocked, he tours europe and
plays like this?  Maybe his live sets are where he makes his name?  On
the plus side, 

no, jeff is an awesome dj, he must not have been trying hard that night.
i remember stories of a party in ohio (where he's originally from) years
ago, where he was impressing even titonton -- he can mix pretty quick
and has a real good sense of what fits together (or at least he used
to). i still have an old tape of his from 96 or 97, great stuff,
chancellor, rob hood, convextion, cristian vogel before he went noise,
old morgan geist stuff...it's a fantastic mix, tho he was hating on it
after not too long...

unofrtunately, i think his taste has devolved some, but maybe thats
because i agree that that kompakt/traum/etc minimal stuff gets real
boring...he used to play more melodic and funky stuff...

blah blah

ps where's alex?

Richie has good taste!

This is an absolutely mind-blowing track, released on a Swiss label
called Bruchstuecke which is distributed by Kompakt. It's got a real
subtle growling buildup reminiscent of Random XS or something like that
but without straying into full-on minimal acid rave territory, topped
off with some wonderfully understated clicky goodness over the mayhem.

The two cuts on the flip are solid as well.

Bruchstuecke the label is definitely worth checking out also - Luciano
has had a few releases on there that are really good, and quite diverse
(a few pop songs from him as well!) and their recent long-player, 'Music
for Children' is worth at least two listens.

Good stuff.

With all the political passions being released on the list today I would
like to say that Stephen Burd actually called me to discuss the issues,
talk about Detroit a little  and to say that like my beginning
statements, his statement was partially a joke as well.

We all have our own personal and political beliefs and a discussion
board is exactly a place to post them. But what I often find is that
some people say or do things that they wouldn't necessarily say in
person. I've had many debates,,(never political,,lol, mostly musical) on
other message boards but I've never had anyone to actually take the time
to contact me personally to clarify anything that may have been said on
the message board. Stephen did just that.  And to me that is admirable. 
  
With that said, I'm still interested in Canada,,,:) mainly because I was
interested before the election and even more so now.

We'vew Gotten WAY off topic. But oh well. Someone will have some
music news soon. :) 

But I've often wondered, why people get "personally" upset When  another
speaks negatively against America. Regardless of Political Party. 

I mean seriously. I love America, But there are things wrong with this
country. Just like all other countries there's good and bad. Are we not
to ever discuss the bad???Are we suppose to Just ignore, the
over-consumption, complete disregard of natural resources, poor schools,
Outrages healthcare system, etc. etc.

It's not like we're making up things , we're just stating the facts in
hopes of discussing a solution. But often times I find people here, both
repulican and democratics that say,, "oh if you hate it, then leave." ??
I'm an architect and the firm I'm working with is getting blasted for
trying to push Green Buildings. My managers here in Charlotte  try to
justify our agenda by stating the fact that in general America is
Building WAY TOO many Building and We need to correct the situation
somehow as designers. You know what we hear? "GO DESIGN Somewhere
else"!!! This is from well educated officials and CEO's of many
healthcare facilities and Banks. 

Meanwhile Our Vancouver office ( where they don't even have a glutten of
usless contruction has already completed 4 "Green" Builings.) I say the
problem isn't the problem. Th problem is Denying the problem.

I also believe the 'age question' and the marketing of electronic music is an 
important factor in the success and distribution of the music. I also get the 
feeling most events/clubs/artists/hypes are marketed towards an audience that 
is generally a lot younger than most people on the list/most people who have 
been into techno since the beginning. Ask the average sixteen-year old visitor 
of a big techno event who invented techno and I wouldn't be surprised if some 
say Adam Beyer or Sven Väth. I've been thinking a lot about the question 
whether it's worth the trouble of trying to (re)educate them kids, but I'm 
afraid it's a collossal task that's not realistic. 

So let me throw this question into the group then:

If you wanted to reach a younger, less-educated crowd with the intention of 
giving them some insight in the history of the music, how would you go about?

RE: (313) Electronic music culture in America

2004-10-07 Thread Redmond, Ja';Maul
I believe the age thing is a big factor. Which is why I was  so focused on the 
misguided marketing or promoting of techno. I think I would be safe to say that 
most electronic music is marketed towards a 25 and under crowdi.e. dance 
night clubs, raves, bars, small records stores, cliché' magazines,,etc. But for 
most larger cities and small cities the 25 to 40 crowd is the largest in 
population demographic.  

Come on we have to be honest, once we hit 30 it's hard to make it to these late 
night events with all of our other responsibilites. I'm starting to promote my 
live P.a.'s to Daytime,weekend festivals, Gallery Crawls,Park festivals, Car 
shows, Electronics or computer  events, etc. and I'm getting way better 
response not to mention better pay. WAY more people actually buy c.d's and ask 
for contact information.  The music at these events are usually reserved for 
Rock/top 40 or even some hip-hop. After getting booked I asked why aren't more 
electronic music being showcased and the event coordinator would state 
simply,,, "No one from that music approaches me". 

For 25 years techno in america has been marketed to a   demographic that's 
getting smaller and smaller and more divided. Of the number of 25 and under 
group, most are into hip-hop and top 40 and the rest are even more divided now 
days between the plethora of sub-genres within electronic music. Our techno 
shows very rarely pull progressive house heads or d-n-b crowds and vice-versa. 
An come to think of it,  Even within 25 and under crowds we're poorly marketed. 
How many 18 year old non d.j.'s actually buy vinyl? Why is it that in almost 
every University sponsered event electronic music is missing in action with the 
exception of the occasional  big name trance d.j. hear and there.? How do we 
expect for american, electronic music culture to grow,  when our music is only 
expose to such a small portion of the population. 
I guess I'm ranting now, but a bunch of us down here in the south have been 
discussing this very thing.

RE: (313) techno isn't selling

2004-10-06 Thread Redmond, Ja';Maul
 To me, this underscores the notion that non-traditional forms of
expression in general, seem able to make marked progress everywhere but
in early 21st century America.  Am I wrong about this? Seriously, it's
not a rhetorical question. I'd like to know what people think.

K

A-side

I think the music industry in general is hurting in america. And to me
it deserves it. Not the Artist, but those that really control the
business aspect of it. Although Electronic music in general is
everywhere; advertising adds, movies, games, etc, there is noone brave
enough to market it. The reason it shows up in these other forms of art
is  because the people that are in control of the creative aspects of
these markets are a part of a very creative generation. The  selling,
releasing, and marketing of music is still controlled by non creative
"bandwagon jumping" business men. Marketing and promoting is everything
and the powers that be, could care less to market non-traditional forms
of art, unless of course it somehow makes it's way into america's
vernacular on it's own. Which is what I think happened in Europe.


B-side
What kind of marketing or promotion does True techno music have here in
america???  The answer is ,,,CLUBS , small indiscreet record stores and
guess what more clubs.  How can a record or a c.d. from a "techno d.j."
get sold if NO ONE knows about them. 
I'm in an office of about 40 people, 30 of them are 35 and under. Of
those 30 I would say only 5 knows any electronic artist and only one
(ME) knows about true techno artist.What's wrong with this picture. I
know a lot of people who enjoy this music when they hear it, but the
only place they can hear it, is in a smokey nightclub that's open
between 10:00 and 4:00 a.m.  O.k I'm generalizing here but I think most
of you get my point.  This has been techno music's major problem,
especially hear in america. It's so tied to the dance club industry that
it's alienated itself from a large buying market. And we are definitely
NOT going to get any help from a MAJOR.

yes, as I said, it's not that I don't believe it - I'm just curious to

from what I read recently - vinyl is actually becoming popular again,
very very slowly, but still...

by the way, there's many reasons distribution companies go out of
business besides direct result of drop in sales at the retailers.
Nemesis could have been managed poorly from within on all sorts of
levels. They might have grown out of touch with the changes in the US
dance music market. Not saying that's the reason they've closed but it's
just an example of things that happen. It's not always 1+1=2. Same goes
for record retailers. They open and close more often than distributors I
would guess.

Michael, I sense that your difficulty in accepting easily that what
Matthew Mangold and others are reporting is a widespread thing, might
have something to do with the fact that you've recently returned from
travelling to Europe (and other regions) where 'techno' and all related
styles of music (and 'dance music in general) is stubbornly selling
quite well, if not exactly having a renaissance.

Because if it is, it's pointed at the wrong region. The problems we're

It's our fault.

It's too late to go inward,,actually I'm not even sure what that means?

No offence meant to anyone, but this is one of the most ridiculous

What does an "EU boycott" achieve other than a totally needless attack
on the global nature of the techno scene? I'm surprised to see this sort
of aggressively isolationist mentality creeping into this field of
electronic music.

Besides, it's not even a consistent decision: "this collective of
artists will remain tied to the American scene and American DJs", it
says, but when you look at the E.A.R. roster, it's not exactly composed
of rootin' tootin'
pure-as-apple-pie Americans by any means.

Anyway, maybe I'm over-reacting a bit. Are we going to see a "patriotic
techno tour" of the Bible Belt states in the near future? Bootlegs of
"French Kiss" coming out, renamed "Freedom Kiss"? It's all a bit
strange, and depressing in a way.

With that said, I do agree with what you said about Chicago. 
When I hear what people are known to call Detroit Techno, I think more
of Chicago House.  I guess I was like the people that May was
complaining about. I always thought of Detroit Techno being more of the
old mills and hood sound/ Old UR. 

That's mainely because I miss the whole first generation growing up.

other in the early days. I understand the claims laid by the european
cities as far as the amount of support they have given techno over the
years, but if detroit is held up as the first city, then support cannot
factor into the award at all (detroit = support HA!). as far as
contributions to the sound, chicago was a major influence on the detroit
sound (and vice versa) before any of the overseas heads ever got ahold
of it, and continued to be a major factor in the shaping of the sound
via labels like relief and their ilk. so i vote Chicago.

 the Berlin thing kind of disturbs me because as I see it, they were the
ones that misdefined techno to the world. Derrick May was talking about
this in his interview earlier ( "I have to redefine the concept of
techno every time I play because people come in expecting... hard edged
abrasive intrusive, into-the-cortex type music while I'm coming from a
really melodic, rhythmic high tech soul angle..." ) I think a large part
of the reason that people expect that non-melodic, abrasive, intrusive
sound when they think techno is because that's what they were taught by
the Berlin school (okay stockholm too) to expect. I laugh because even

years later. I don't hold any contempt for Berlin or any of it's

Well friends, after some very long night's thinking this over I have decided to 
take some time out of the music world for a while.
This was not an easy decision and I want to say thanks to all of you for your 
support over the past years.
There is a strong possibility 2004 might be my last year involved in electronic 
music so if you get the chance to come to any of the shows in the remainder of 
2004 please come and enjoy yourselves.
When u dedicate your life to something for over a decade and it goes completely 
off the rails you have to make adjustments or go down with the ship.
People have their pre-conceptions and their likes and dislikes, that's fine

The scene used to be full of vibrant and creative people but now it's just full 
of moaners who support artist who don't give a  about them. All they are 
interested in is boosting their own name and increasing their bank accounts.
Next time u go to a party and the ticket price is amazingly high for you to see 
a DJ u cant event speak to before, during or after his set think about what is 
important to them.
Call me stupid but i thought it was only human to engage other human 
being's was I wrong???
Someone on a post said "if claude young wanted to sell out he could have a long 
time ago but he never did".
Before this though another person sent a post to Detroit-Luv saying "well im 
sure he'll make a lot of money charging for the farewell tour".
These comments are not the main reason but they are a factor, how much more of 
my life am I to give only to have my work constantly thrown back in my face in 
favor of other artist who are only concerned with the bank balance of their 
account
Next time this guys shells out a wad of cash to see some guy mix 40 records 
together that all sound the same he should ask himself what is really important.
I figure my energy is better served helping people.
So im considering being a volunteer in a foreign country. Possibly an aid 
worker or something similar. Anything to help make other peoples lives a little 
better.
Every man has his breaking point and I have been on the road since i left 
Detroit over 11 years ago, every week. So im taking some time out for once and 
if i decide to come back it will be under different circumstances.
I've had bad management coupled with other setbacks as well so if i do come 
back ill be handling everything independently with a small group of friends in 
Glasgow.

hope this answers all your questions

RE: (313) All Uncleared Sampling Ruled Illegal

2004-09-08 Thread Redmond, Ja';Maul
How many of you actually use samples in your music. I'm just curious.
I haven't since the mid nineties. If you want your music to be used in
any other kind of media other than just releasing it on vinyl, you
already had to clear all samples. No advertisment, commercial or
theatrical producers will use any music without full licensing of
samples and from my experience even if I did have the licenses they
would shy away from my tracks that had samples. I guess because they
didn't trust me. :) 

Either way , because of that I stopped a long time ago and really
haven't missed it. I do sample the hell out of myself and my
environment.

good luck enforcing that. they already cant enforce the laws that exist

Kind of odd record, quite a big Chi house influence apparent, but a bit
more overtly melodic than say Claro Intelecto - some duff tracks but
some corkers as well.

Natures Plan feat Ed Motta (kenny Dope Mix) on Far Out

This is a special mix done by KD for Far Out's 10th Birthday and it's
pretty nice actually - great scat vocals from Ed Motta as well. The mix
also preserves Marc Mac's exquisite strings - nicely done

RE: (313) Techno Geography

2004-08-05 Thread Redmond, Ja';Maul
 I'm in NC like JT, and I don't think things (techno related) can get
any worse anywhere else. But When I think about moving to a better place
I automatically think of the addage that people make a place (city) the
city doesn't make a person. Well maybe New York Does. 

But to be honest I would be faced with the same situations ANYWHERE that
I am faced with here. I may get more bookings in Germany or Detroit or
somewhere in Europe, but would I get enough to support my life??? And if
I did would I actually enjoy it? What's holding me back has nothing to
do with where I am. I'M holding myself back. I'M the one that can't
decide whether I really want to play out in a smoky cub 4 nights a week.
I'm the one that has to decide whether I would be happy with less money
than what I make at my 9 to 5. To make a long story short neither Berlin
or Detroit would make those decisions easier. 

If you want to make a change then change yourself and then move.

Subject: (313) Techno Geography

Friends,

I think all of this talk on geography and how it affects our
productivity/ involvement/ opportunities as producers, djs, artists,
fans etc. is a key topic.  It matters, and it does not matter.

First, I must quote The Pet Shop Boys...

"...there's a lot of opportunities, if there are'nt you can make
them..." 

I've been very tempted to move to Detroit. However, after questioning my
motivations, I see that by doing so, I am only chasing myths and ghosts
of what I think a "Detroit" experience "should" be. I can say that the
few times I have visited, I have been completely blown away: the sincere
people, Detroit's love of ALL music, Detroit's freakishness...and of
course all of the incredible artists that populate that city, in their
varied mediums, not just techno music. I'm talking photgrapy,
advertising, graphic design, political thought, journalism. Detroit Rock
City! Godamn it! I really think you are born into it and must have it in
your blood and veins. I am happy with the idea that it CANNOT be
transplated by a simple change of geography. (Apply to your dream city/
situation of choice)

Great teachers want their disciples to spread the word, set up their own
churches, communes, record labels, clubs, 'zines...etc. Detoit is the
teacher.

I guess it depends on what you are doing. I have found that more easy
going evirons fuel my creativity, as a producer.  

I can riff and ramble on this a lot more. My head hurts right now. 

Peace, Louis

That's the problem I have with some laptop performances. Even if the
music is good, to me it's not a performance if you're just pressing
play. A lot of the time this happens with Laptop p.a.s because they can
usually have the fully produced track on the computer. I really don't
want to hear the same thing that's on the vinyl. I want to hear A
PERFORMANCE of that song.  A Performance to me doesn't mean a dog and
pony show,  but an actual different musical interpretation of the song.
These kind of "press play" performances are not solely indicative of
laptops ( I've seen plenty with MPC's also) but they do tend to happen
more often with computer performers. 

I've also seen a decline in Live P.a.'s in this area (South east USA)
and I think it's because all the producers are now producing solely on
their home p.c.'s and CAN"T or at least  won't perform their material
until they get a laptop also. Personally , this is sad.

Just my personal preference here, but I don't really care what they're

the music they create.

It's about the ears and not the eyes. If the music isn't good then no
amount of visual stimulation is going to change that. At that point,
they should just change their name to Britney, hire a choreographer and
move to a genre where appearance is valued over substance. Again, just
my personal ideals here, no offense intended towards anyone.

So what part of the business do they need to run better?
 Is it the getting sponsors to support them during a crappy economy

Is it the trying to convince the politicians/city to cough up some cash

Is it the part about putting up even more of your own personal money or

Not dying, but changing.
I know I've said it before but the impact of file sharing has been
profound
- added to the economic uncertainty.
You can talk to any label boss, from Simon Dunmore (Defected/Stealth) to
Luke Solomon (Classic) to Meat Katie (and breaks are big and all that)
and you'll get that view. People just have different views on how to go
from here, what is the solution? I would say the majors have lost 2/3 of
their staff - Universal Music shed something like 75 percent in
anticipation of losses - and there will be more downsizing. OK, so many
peepz here could care less about majors but the smaller labels are
hurting too. Classic got burnt big time when their distributor went
under! I think there is a perception that house music was dull in 2003
with the likes of Basement Jaxx saying as such in interviews but there
was plenty of great underground stuff, as we know, but not great sales.
DJ Sneak says he had trouble finding a UK label deal for his album
'cause labels were scared - and he's had that huge Fix That Sink hit so
he would be a viable prospect, you'd imagine. The media backed the rock
revival thing - on the basis of everyone liking Coldplay, I don't know -
but it's more that the market has diversified and actually I think it's
become easier for kids to like rock and dance and urban, there's more
hybridisation happening, too. In Australia there have been several
sell-out tours and I reckon people are saving money on records by
downloading and using it to attend live shows.

found out a lot about ecstacy that I didn't know and a lot about how
some sub-genres got started. I just couldn't stomach his ideas and

Oh, I completely agree that Reynolds had an agenda. And like I said, I
basically disagreed with every conclusion he came to.

BUT...while his thesis may have been severly flawed, the research that
he presents (ie- the history of ecstacy culture) is still compelling and
well written. This is all sounding too scientific. Its music. And you
can take the exact same story of ecstacy culture and come to completely
different conclusions.

here's an interview with Reynolds that helps explain where he's coming
from: http://www.space-age-bachelor.com/features/99/reynolds.htm
he talks extensively about "Energy Flash"

here's a piece where Reynolds first seems to develope his theories on
Detroit techno vs hardcore:
http://www.epidemik.com/features/articles/hardcore_article.htm


and finally- a rather extensive page on Reynolds that finds him
"rediscovering house" with the Mille Plateux guys:

Everyone's music collection is based around 'phases'. Reynolds just does
an excellent job capturing his phases in print. Don't diss because he

I read it and didn't like it either. 

It was entertaining at times, but too biased to be a book about
electroinic music in GENERAL. It was like reading a thesis paper where
the writer is trying to prove that electronic music is linked to raves
which in turn are linked to drugs and therefore it shouldn't be
separated. The Title should've been, Generation Ecstacy, The Importance
drug culture in EDM.

He kept making a point of saying that EDM music and drugs "GO" together
and any attempt to separate the two is not successful. i.e. concept
albums have no place in edm ,,,tracks are  being better than songs???
There's way too many reference to Ecstacy as been "GOOD" for EDM and
even a whole Chapter on the positive use of E.

All of this is fine but I think he purposefully hid this agenda in a
book that was marketed as "General" book about EDM.

More 909 than 808 as well, I'd say the bit of drum programming most
likely to cause me to dislocate a knee on the dancefloor is Suburban
Knight's "The Art of Stalking"... also, "Spectral Nomad" by Robert Hood
ends up sounding nearly four times as fast as its real BPM due to the
dense and inordinately funky drum programming Mr Hood came up with.

I respect the sheer complexity of people like Aphex Twin when it comes
to drum programming, but a lot of that just sounds slightly too random
for me - complexity being done for its own sake. I like a bit of
understated complexity that aids the groove more than a complete
wig-out, although the sound of a drum machine falling down the stairs
definitely has its own certain appeal...

Way back in high school,, PBS showed this documentary on Black American
music. It was about two weeks long I think with an hour to 2 hour long
shows. 

Well I remember seeing the first one about Slave hymns and such and then
I lucked up and saw the one about the 80's. They went into depth about
the mainstream artist but they also did about 30 minutes each on the
start of hip-hop and Detroit Techno.

Does anyone recognize this. I've been looking for this show for years.

I see the label bio uses the word 'techno' appropriately too. It's good
to know that urban acts like The Roots - esp ?uestlove - are giving
recognition to US electronic musicians too. I think Roots (Phrenology),
Common, NERD and OutKast are exploding the category of urban. It's so
exciting. I can't believe Andre 3000 played so much of the
instrumentation on The Love Below either. I think this is my album of

If you feel that the RIAA is justified, then that's o.k. No one forces a

things will change.

Now I heard the riaa was going to stop it anyway because of the

Just to let peeps know. 

YES , I file share and YES I download. 

I've download underground indie stuff but I've also downloaded mainstream
stuff. 

I've downloaded prince, bjork, lamb,billie holiday, and others. And Have
bought every last one of the c.d.'s as well. Except the lamb c.d. which I
couldn't even get in america. I have maybe some odd 200 singles downloaded.
But I have over a thousand of purchased  c.d's and more vinyl and cassettes.


Now I must go to work before I get fired and end up a homeless RIAA

boycott. But I just believe if that 30% c.d.sales drops to  40% or even 50%
things will change. 

Now I heard the riaa was going to stop it anyway because of the
counter-suit. But I can't find where that is actually a fact. CNN and I
think Mixmag reported it. But the head of the RIAA has not made an official
announcement saying the same thing.

Do you suppose that the RIAA is looking at each song and each artist that
she downloaded and giving them their fair amount? As if she had bought a CD
from each of them - and then does that affect their chart position?

I really doubt they are distributing the money to the artists - many of whom

RE: (313) O-T: sample search

2003-09-10 Thread Redmond, Ja';Maul
Well with a little collaboration we found it out to be Bustin' Loose by
Chuck Brown. 

With the additional info that the neptunes don't sample. I looked up the
credits of the song "Hot in Herre" and it list Chuck Brown as one of the
writers. This is usually done when an original song is sampled and cleared
by the new artist.

What a minute now that I think of it. That (don't sample) can't be true. The
neptunes sample like a Mofo. For Bustah's "Gimmie some mo" they sampled The
movie Pyscho's Theme Song. (Not the shower scene song, but the main movie
theme). And if you give me awhile I can think of other samples they used on
other productions in addition to these two songs.

Just for info. I'm not blastin the Neptunes. I actually love their work. But
they do sample.

It's all b.s to me, if vinyl is dead, why are we currently living in an
oversaturated market of vinyl records being produced.? Everyone and
there momma wants to do vinyl and even the mainstream cats are getting back
into the market by getting remixes done on vinyl.  

But I will say one thing about something that came up earlier.

THE COST!!! 
Have dub plate manufactures addressed the extremely high cost of getting a
plate done. Are they even concern that MAYBE , just MAYBE the younger
generation of d.j.s may abandon them for c.d. or final scratch of whatever
for the simple reason that they can't afford to spend $1000 + dollars on
every release?

RE: (313) Prince (does not Compute)

2003-07-01 Thread Redmond, Ja';Maul
The erotic city and White Horse comparison is in reverse. Erotic city was
written first but as usual prince sat on it thinking it wouldn't get played
on the radio.  Actually it never was supposed to be a radio single but d.j.s
jumped on it and made it a hit in the soul market at least. White horse was
written for the radio and in turn got released way before erotic city even
though it was written or produced afterwards.  Now I don't know if the
writers of white horse stole anything or not, probably not, But they did
record in the same studio as Sheila E did. Who we all know was the co-lead
singer in Erotic city. Either way I believe they were more influenced by
Erotic City than the reverse.

glad you made that observation. now I know I'm not crazy. for years I've
noticed that Prince likes to "borrow" heavily from Kraftwerk (and many other
artists). I used to keep a mental list of his Kraftwerk inspired tracks, but
havent really given it much thought lately. one example that immediately
springs to mind: "Computer Blue" steals melodies from "Computer
World/Computer Love and Pocket Calculator". Darling Nikki was a rendition of
another Kraftwerk tune, but cant recall which "Trans Europe Express" I
think. Erotic City is just that "Ride TheWhite Horse" song. Anyone else
think of any others?

Totally agree!! listening to it now, the sounds and drum machines it's
really a funkier take on some of the sounds that sprang to life on Kraftwerk

1999 was released!   Crazy.

First of all sorry about the chain of post but I get the 313 list at work
and obviously I miss everything thats posted on the weekends. Plus people
are posting on the one mainstream artist that probably influences my
electronic music the most, even though it may not sound like it. :) I'm
enjoying this. 

As for the black Album, Well the bootleg was WIDELY available in america. Me
and most of my friends had at least the cassette version back it 87' 88'.
And My girlfriend at the time bought what appears to be a non-Bootlegg
Vinyl copy of it for me in D.C. and she isn't even a fan. Needless to say I
have that one sealed up and vaulted away. Now it's available for sale of
course. 

But I do agree it's not a GOOD album at all. Lovesexy was way better and I'm
glad he didn't release it.

"High-pitched comptuer voice". 

They were called his Camille songs. Some came out on regular releases, some
were b-sides, others on bootlegs. They have always been my favorite because
they tend to more electronic. The most popular and probably the best out of
all them were "Erotic City
". And Then "If I was your Girlfriend". 

Dream factory is an Awesome bootleg but the songs on it are different
depending on where and who you get it from. I prefer the one with only the
camille songs on it. Hit me up with your mailing addy and I can compile you
a Camille C.D.

plays every instrument on every song 'cept for one live track done w/ The
Revolution... amazing.  I like this review too

--Dirty Mind (1980!) - Synth work on here and all around funkiness is
electrifying

I like 1999 a lot too - Something in the Water (Does Not Compute)

--Purple Rain - a masterpiece in it's own right
--Around the World in a Day - more conceptual, still great songs, deeper and
less pop polish in some ways, though still had some hit singles too. I've
always had a soft spot for "Pop Life"

There are some cool songs on "Prince" LP and "For You", both completed in
late 70's. but don't start there unless you get to be a real fan  ;)

peace,

Thanks in advance,

You've opened up a can of worms. Lol.

Honestly I haven't been much of a fan of a Prince Complete Album. To me I
think he's best defined by individual songs.

But if I have to name some favorites. 
His old stuff
Sign of the Times (Ecletic Funk) 
1999 (Best pop Rock album)
Purple rain (Best Rock Album)
Around the world in a day  ( Best Pop)

Newer stuff
The Symbol Album
Emancipation
Gold

This is one amazing find and one of the reasons I haven't ended my
subscription to 313. Rare and important. 

MoJo more so than any of the performance djs (May,atkins,etc.) influenced my
musical taste beyond belief. To this day I have him to thank for introducing
me to 1. Kraftwerk,  2.Art of Noise, 3. Blonde 4. The Time (Get it Up and
777-9311,,not that Bird crap)  5. Funkadelic/Parliament and of course Prince
along side DETROIT Techno.

I had moved away from Flint by then but would come back to Detroit/Flint to
spend my summers and hear the most eclectic music out at that time from this
guy. I knew of his love for Prince but had no idea he actually got a chance
to interview him.


As for Prince himself.  We'll he's my all-time favorite pop musician and
back in the day Detroit was his favorite place to BE. I remember another
interview where he actually said that he prefers to perform in Detroit than
anywhere in America. Even during his slow fade from popularity he would sell
out in Detroit where other cities had stopped supporting him. But once again
I had no idea that He knew of Mojo's support of him. 

As for the movie thing, Well this interview seemed like it was even before
Under the Cherry Moon. So at the time, Purple Rain was his only movie. In
context, Mojo could say that he did great movies also. Side note, to me Sign
of the Times concert movie was even better, but I do agree that the others
were horrible.


As for Prince's uncanny appeal to Detroit,,
Well I have a story to tell that may sum it up. Let's see if any of you guys
remember this. In 1980 or maybe it was 1982 Prince performed a sort of
Battle concert against Rick James.  I was way to young to go to a concert
like that but I remember my mom and all of her sisters , brothers and
cousins going but only to see Rick James. When they came back they were all
fans of prince. They were just amazed to see a guy play the piano, drums and
guitar in one show, play rock, funk and soul in one show and wear bikini
briefs and high-heels and a rain coat. Lol,,, He was the epitome of a black
musician doing WHAT they want to do despite what others think. He was
crowned the new funkster by them and the rest of Detroit WAY before the 1999
or purple rain ,mtv crowd embraced him. 

I believe at that time Detroit loved that kind of "f**k you, I'm bad and I'm
ME" attitude amongst black stars. It's a sort of sign of independence that I
feel  a lot of black people dreamed of especially in the 70's & 80's.

nope, born and raised in Minneapolis.  Though freakishly popular in the
motor city (how many consecutive sellout shows of the Purple Rain tour were
in Detroit? It was originally supposed to be FIVE but I think there were
even more shows added?)

> Fantastic movies...no fcuking way, could this interviewer
> get any further up Prince's anal corridor...Jesh...

"this interviewer" is the Electifyin Mojo so show let's show a little
respect tough guy  ;)  Only the man responsible namechecked by
Detrick/Kevin/Juan for fertilizing the birth of Detroit techno?  But you
knew that.

Look at it context man, this was near the Zenith of his career at the time,
and when it came out in 1984 and he was at the top of his game, He had only
done one movie and it was hype.  And you have to imagine the electricity in
the air in Detroit about this time, just following a Prince concert and
being on the airwaves over the whole city.  He was the hottest act in the
country at this time!  You better believe it was exciting. 

I agree he's done some dumb stuff and bad music following his 80's
dominance, but you can't sh!t upon the interview from today's perspective.

Peace,
