(313) What's happening with 'Miranda'?

2007-03-09 Thread Simon Hindle
Y'know, the forthcoming convextion 2x12 on matrix...

I've had this bad boy (or girl) on preorder for ages, and the release
date keeps slipping... it seems that a few people on here are probably
more in the know on what's happening with this than my record store
is,
so I wonder if somebody would be able to fill in any blanks?

Not angry or anything, I'll wait as long as it takes (on Sunday I
finally received some deepchord records about 14 months after I
ordered
them, they'd been collecting dust at my neighbour's house until they
started packing to move!) but if there's any firm info it'd be
appreciated!

Thanks!

Re: (313) Your favorite CD only compilations/mixes

2007-03-09 Thread Simon Hindle
Another vote here for the Dan Bell mixes; both really good.

I also loved Akufen's Fabric mix, don't mind the new Cassy mix at all
and I heard one of the Sound Signature mix CDs which is amazing.

An older mix I really like is the Bentley Rhythm Ace edition of the
FSUK series. Crazy stuff, totally all over the place!

The new Riley Reinhold romp through Trapez territory isn't half bad, 
either. (Selection 5, mixed by Triple R)
YMMV depending on how you define 'minimal', but he does a good job with

what he's using; for the most part he keeps it flowing.

Yes. I haven't heard it on anything but my headphones, it sounds OK.
Sort of ravey. I quite like the vocal but some people can't stand it.

It's alright, it has some nice sounds in it but I don't think it's that

(313) Blade Runner sampling

2006-08-25 Thread Simon Hindle
So I've just ordered a bunch of stuff from the sound signature represses
and blow me away if Solitary Flight doesn't sample the Blade Runner
soundtrack (actually I think it might be the New American Orchestra
version). Excuse me if I'm very late on the boat (or spinner) on this

Anyway, are there any other tracks which sample from the soundtrack?

Re: (313) Blade Runner sampling

2006-08-25 Thread Simon Hindle
http://www.discogs.com/release/488248

So when blade runner came out (so the story goes), Vangelis was as
disappointed with the edit as Ridley Scott was, and refused to release
his soundtrack.

So they got the New American Orchestra (whoever they might be) to do
their own interpretation of the soundtrack and released that, and it was
the only legit version of the soundtrack you could get for years.

When the director's cut of Blade Runner came out, Vangelis finally
allowed his original version of the soundtrack to be released.

That's the story I heard anyway, the truth probably involves a little
less artistic integrity ;-)

Both are great releases in their own rights though.

I'm sure if I had a decent enough DJ profile and made some label
contacts and had enough benjamins I could probably get in the studio
with this dude as my production partner and get a few tracks out as

Not sour grapes or anything, but I think it's an interesting situation.

We just had Modeselektor play for us here in Sydney and they were really bloody 
good. They've been playing live for AGES now and are really tight. They put on 
a great show, and their sound is just so fkin HUGE!

It's not straight-up tech, more along that electronic dancehall/junglist sound 
that's coming out of the states a fair bit at the moment (think 
Shockout/Mashit, Kid606-style stuff) but it definitely references the detroit 
sound, which they're both big fans of; I had a good chat with the guys and they 
were wistfully reminiscing about seeing UR back in the day when it was Mills, 
Hood and Banks.

They're playing a bunch of dates in the states at the moment, including an 
afterparty at DEMF and then they're off to Mutek. Definitely check these guys 
out. One of the best live acts I've ever seen.

And also props to Lidell, Andy Vaz and Monolake as well, all of whom I've seen

a preference for MACHINES

Carl Craig
-Be it Innerzone, Detroit Experiment, his best-of thing he did last year or

I saw Stewart Walker a couple of months ago and he was basically using ableton 
and one of those doepfer pocket faderboxes running into a DJM600, nothing else.

Seeing Monolake live using ableton was quite impressive - after all he 
basically designed the software for himself to use. He played a set of really 
good, deep, chain reaction-type stuff, and all he used was the ableton 
instruments and effects, no plug-ins. All sounds were generated by operator and 
he was just tweaking stuff and writing clips on the fly. And again, all he was 
using to control everything was a doepfer pocket fader and the laptop 
touchpad/keyboard; the much-vaunted monodeck was nowhere in sight. Mindblowing 
stuff. Sure, if you recorded the output the sound quality might not be so 
amazing that you could release it as a track, but in the context of a live show 
it was wicked. First time I've ever seen ableton used as an instrument, if you 
know what I mean.

For 'proper' live, though, I think you'd have to go a long way to beat Jamie 
Lidell. He makes pretty much every sound using his mouth and has a custom 
max/msp program that samples and loops his beatboxing/wailing/silly banter, and 
then runs that through a mixing desk with some delay and reverb sends, together 
with an MPC1000 with some beats on it and a minimoog for extra phat crunch. And 
he puts on a proper show. And it's dripping with soul. 

You MUST see him if he's playing within 100 miles of you. (further if you have 
means of transport beyond walking).

I'd like to see galoppierende zuversicht live as well - they show up with a 
bunch of hardware (NO laptops), a fair bit of it home-made, and just jam away 
for an hour or so.

 Tristan Watkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5/04/2006 10:09 am 
There are a few different types of live PAing. You've got an Ableton live
arrangement/dub, or something like Stewart Walker where he uses an MPC + his
other kit where he will have most of the patterns sequenced in advance, but
he'll play some of them live on the MPC pads, and then trigger the sequences
from the MPC as well (although I vaguely recall hearing he's using a laptop
now)? Herbert will have most things pre-sequenced, and then he'll sample the
sounds live. Then there's an entirely different level of liveness where
almost all of the music is created on the fly a la Ayro and John Arnold, or
Shawn Rudiman, where they play multiple instruments or machines in real
time, have the seuencer take over for some of those parts, then move on to
something else, only relying on a few bits of pre-arranged material. I'd say
this last type has the most bang for the buck for sure. That Sendex show I
was talking about on Sunday was sort of a cross between Stewart Walker and
Shawn Rudiman styles maybe. Oh, and I was corrected after my last post that
he actually had an 808 as well if anyone cares.

Re: (313) CD Mixers

2006-04-05 Thread Simon Hindle
Hmmm, it's a funny one really. My flatmate bought a final scratch recently and 
I must say that while beforehand I was quite ambivalent towards a 'scratch' 
solution that now I'm seriously considering buying a FS unit. There is 
something quite nice about being able to use turntables as the control surface, 
and this really has nothing to do with whether or not 'records is the only way 
to play tunes' - I play ableton sets every now and then, and use CDs quite 
happily with no sense of stigma.

I guess it might have something to do with records being what I'm the most used 
to, and therefore comfortable with, but I really do enjoy using FS to play 
digital files more than any other method.

That being said, Traktor DJ Studio 3 is bloody amazing software. You can use it 
with FS2 but even in standalone mode it's wicked. It has some really cool 
effects (that are tons better than DJ-mixer effects boxes) and brilliant 
looping features and you can run 4 decks at once with it.

So I guess that even though my heart loves final scratch, if anyone was looking 
for a solution for playing digital files I would recommend Traktor DJ Studio 3 
above them all - above CD decks, above final scratch, above ableton even. It's 
less than US$300 as well so it's easily the most affordable. And you don't even 
need a mixer. Couple it with the Behringer BCR2000 controller for lots of 
hands-on knob-twiddling and you're laughing.

 Kowalsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5/04/2006 1:14 pm 
I agree with you.
I hate people trying to reproduce the perfect saxofone sound in a  
synth. God damn it, call a saxofone player.
Why use serato or final scratch? If your music is in a digital  
format, you can use a large range of softwares to do virtualy  
everything when it comes to mixing, beat matching or whatever.
Why stay tied to the limited possibilities of a turntable? If you  
want to do what turntables do, damn, put a real vinyl record on and  
do your thing,
Finally, let me say: i'm a turntable dj. I like turntables, i do the  
turntable style thing. But if i go digital, like songs in a hard  
disk, i'll not limit myself to a turntable.
CDJ is usefull for me to make some loops, play things that require  
great amount of pitch up or down (like +/- 16) with master tempo.
There a lot of DJs using final scratch and serato just to show up in  
a glamour vinyl style without giving up the confort of carrying just  
a laptop. That makes no sense to me. I like music more than i like  
equipment.

 Given what these things cost, I'm not sure why one wouldn't just get
 Traktor on a laptop -- it's a much more flexible, easier to way to
 mix.

 That being said, I love mixing on the old Denon DN 2000s, because they
 were really simple. Find your cue point once, instead of over and over
 like with records, then drop the track in and tweak tempo.  I also
 liked picking up the controller in one arm and tweaking with the other
 hand. People would ask me what instrument I was playing.

 Both Final Scratch and the fancy CD players with platters seem to me
 to be trying to preserve a paradigm for mixing and beat matching
 that's inappropriate to the technology.  Traktor is really easy to
 beat match in, even if you ignore the 'automatic' beat matching.
 And if you can't give up the wikki-wikki you can get Traktor with  
 Final Scratch.

 Of course, for me, the idea of paying hundreds of dollars for
 something that REQUIRES you  to have turntables in order to mix is
 kind of crazy.  That only makes sense in Ubercoolische world, where
 the DJ equipment is something you specify in a rider, not something
 you haul up and down stairs.

 Once you learn to beat match in one medium it shouldn't be that hard
 to transfer the skills to a new one. IMHO.

(313) Classic beatdown tracks?

2006-02-06 Thread Simon Hindle
Carl's remix of Theo has all of Berlin going crazy. I read an interview with 
Andy Vaz of background records saying that Beatdown was all the rage over there 
now.

So what are the best beatdown tracks?

And does anyone else like the stuff that's been coming out on Philpot records? 
Does that count as beatdown, even though it's made by Germans?



Re: (313) Classic beatdown tracks?

2006-02-06 Thread Simon Hindle
I guess my understanding of beatdown is similar - slower (ie no faster than 
mid-120 bpm), deep as hell, soulful with detroit stylings.

http://www.beatdownsounds.net/ has a good description, though I wonder if it's 
simply a micro-genre. I just mention it because I've found a good amount of 
slower deep stuff recently (eg philpot records' releases) and wondered if there 
was perhaps more of this stuff that I was unaware of (beyond early house etc 
which is often slower), and so I thought 313 would be the best folk to ask 
about it.

Please excuse my ignorance and bandying around of a buzzword I read in an 
interview :-)

not that i could define beatdown, although i have a certain dirty, 
110bpm kinda housesound in mind, as featured on the mentioned 3rd 
ear-compilation... my question is another:

is there a word for that (actually quite popular) style of house, 
discribed with too many one-finger chords? cc remix of theo's falling 
up or ame's rej and there are some more tracks for sure that i can't 
recall now. like, beatdown trance? ;)

p.s.: simon, i don't know if it's beatdown what philpot are releasing, 
but if you mean that it has a similar vibe to some of theo parrish's or 
kdj's stuff: definitely yes! the german label running back and the 
stuff from dan electro (from france, i guess) go into that direction, too.

I don't mind it really - I like the concept, and the total package is great 
given the price.

My actual favourite bit is the DVD footage of him playing at the festival in 
germany at stupid o'clock in the morning. The visuals are mind-meltingly good 
and the music is lots of fun.

The main mix itself is pretty nifty from a cerebral point of view, and is nice 
to listen to. I haven't checked it out in 5:1 yet which I'm keen to do.

It's the first piece of non-vinyl music I've bought in a lng time, and I 
don't regret making the purchase.

week. Really good deep tech.

So we had Dan Bell come play in Sydney on Saturday night. It was f**kin awsome. 
What was even more awesome was this though: the party had to close at 3:30, 
just as Bell was kicking into top gear - I told the promoter about a friend's 
birthday party that was still going on and would Dan (hereafter referred to as 
God) like to come along and finish off his set there? Sure enough, God hopped a 
cab across town and played for another two hours, for free, for a birthday 
party (that was also boosted by about half the crowd from his gig) as the sun 
rose. It was certainly one of the most memorable nights of my clubbing career!

his junglist penchant has taken him.

I'm curious to get some info on this dude, seeing he's been getting major
props for a while and his records are hot and he is rated by Richie Hawtin.
I think everyone misspells his name, too. I was also under the impression
that he had a UK connection, but it seems with his label being called
Vancouver, he's Canadian... He's booked to play live in Oz, but does he DJ
much also and what is it like?

Re: SV: (313) Carl Craig in Belgium (track ID)

2005-08-29 Thread Simon Hindle
It's pretty easy to extract a beatless loop of the melody line from the 
original mix of jaguar; a small amount of slicing is required but I managed to 
do it (and therefore anybody with basic motor skills can). It's handy for 
ableton sets. It keymatches with charlie webster's mix of 'Cafe de flore' by 
herbert. Always gets the heads smiling, does that one.

Given that CC's using fs2 these days it's not inconceivable that he did 
something like this (although he probably just got himself a hold of the 
masters and made his own deluxe dub).

Hello!
 
I know Mad Mike's version and that's not what C2 played in Uppsala, Sweden, a 
couple of years ago. I think it's Carl´s own version -the beat never starts and 
the riff is doubled by some sort of bass sound, and the melody repeats forever, 
right?

Re: (313) the orb on kompakt??

2005-06-09 Thread Simon Hindle
There's been some hot tips on the good Kompakt gear so far - here are some 
other Kompakt releases I like:

Thomas Fehlmann - Whistle (lovely floaty goodness that's just a masterpiece of 
production)

Ferenc - Yes Sir, I can Hardcore (m.mayer remix is proper cheese-rave-tech)

Magnet - Rising Sun (definitive nu-trance track - really hypnotic)

Speicher 14 on Kompakt Extra has M.Mayer turning in proper cerebral tech on one 
side with Schaffel silliness courtesy of The Orb on the flip

The Total 5 collection is pretty good, again there's a killer Fehlmann track on 
there - 'Radeln' that's pure beauty.

Lots of people go crazy for the Rex The Dog stuff and there's no denying that 
they are huge tracks but I don't quite dig them myself. The latest rumour is 
that Rex The Dog is none other than JX who did that 'Son Of A Gun' track ages 
ago.

Kompakt Pop is wicked as well! Check the latest release for a great 
heroin-house version of Kylie's 'Slow'.

I think the thing with Kompakt is that they release heaps of stuff and most of 
it isn't really that great (I don't think that much of most of their ambient 
stuff) and so they get a bad rap. The other thing is that there's quite a high 
camp element in most of their releases, and not everybody likes camp.

In terms of mail order, they do Manchester-Sydney in around 4 working days, 
with no problems encountered by me ever. In addition, if stuff isn't in stock, 
they'll send it out to you once it is, and only charge your card at that point.

(313) Carl Craig / Friday Question

2005-04-08 Thread Simon Hindle
It's funny you mention that, Dave - I too wasn't that taken with Angola when I 
first listened to it. Then I heard it played out on a big system and I 
*understood*. The track is a magic spell! It never fails to get a crowd moving. 
I think it's the handclaps myself.

Which brings me to an interesting question for you all:

What track have you listened to and not bothered picking up, only to 
subsequently hear it on a big system and then realise that you must have it 
IMMEDIATELY, to the point of even nicking it off the DJ?

A great track to mix out of Angola is 'Analord' by Luke Vibert, off the 95-99 
EP. You have to pitch it up a whole heap, though, so best to burn it to CD (or 
pick up the new Lovers' Acid compilation on CD which has it).

hisself and i honestly don't remember how he played
it.

what's your prescription for how to mix into it? 

inquiring minds want to know.

its probably one of the best tracks i have for doing long mixes, i
usually lay the claps and vocals over another cut right until the
breakdown before the bassline comes in 2/3 of the way through the
track. i like laying it over something dirty and bass heavy like
some older trackmode records or something like that. i usually
just throw it in the mix as quickly as possible so i can ride the
other track. watch out because the angola rmx is really really slow.

Re: (313) Carl Craig in Sydney?

2005-03-29 Thread Simon Hindle
Looks like Melbourne definitely got the better end of the deal!

It was good to see him in Sydney - the first time I've ever seen him in any 
incarnation, but the gig itself wasn't really put together with much love; it 
seemed to be an out-and-out exercise in making money rather than a party put on 
by passionate folk.

Carl played fantastic music throughout - starting off all minimal with some 
Rhythm and Sound and the new Luciano on cadenza, moving through nice dubby 
house a la KDJ, into some nice tech and he generally stayed in that tech area 
for most of the night, colouring it with latin/african rhythms. He played lots 
of his own stuff (it was great to finally hear his remix of Beanfield on a big 
system, though I'm a little disappointed he didn't give Angola a whirl) and 
finished up with some really emotive strings-based tech. When he dropped the 
seemingly obligatory tracks he did it with panache. Jaguar coming in over Good 
Girls was a particular highlight.

And then the next support came on and played nosebleed techno. And most people 
went home.

Carl seemed to be enjoying himself at times, and there were moments of 
brilliance, but in all I didn't really feel that he was at any time running on 
full steam. I think he had a very very tough crowd to please and so couldn't 
take the kind of risks I was hoping he would, track selection-wise, without 
alienating a lot of people. Sounds like the Honkytonks crowd were more 
open-minded on the whole. I'm not really complaining though - as said, it was 
good to hear some fantastic music on such a great system - and to see so many 
people enjoying it; a real rareity for Sydney. And from a fanboy perspective it 
was just super cool to be in the same space as one of my heroes!

Just to elaborate on Cyclone's description of his setup - he was using the 
latest version of Final Scratch with the new firewire scratch amp and 
full-blown Traktor interface, a DJM600 whose effects he was working from time 
to time (only delays and echos - no flangetastic nonsense from CC!), and he 
also had a 16-pad midi controller that he was using to trigger various sounds 
(and maybe loops and tracks as well). 

 Cyclone Wehner [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/30/05 5:41 am 

He was great in Melb at Honkytonks.

He DJed with a computer set-up - Stanton Tracktor thing. (I don't know much
on this stuff but I observed as much).

Started with a 'sample' from Apocalypse Now - a part with the whirling
helicopters and dialogue - and played v minimal techno (as in the newer
German micro style Hawtin favours too) and gradually built up to Detroit
style with a few faves like Strings Of Life - and then finished the arc with
jazzy vibes. His last track was one by Detroit Experiment, from memory. I
think Carl DJs as a programmer and the new technologies have helped him come
into his own as a DJ. Really superb.

Most proclaimed it to be one of the best gigs we've experienced in some
time. Fabulous, responsive crowd.

Oh dear! ;)
Kinda like the Wisconsin of Oz (did you ever see Dogma, where angels
fear to
dread - 'cos of acute boredom).


I dunno Cyclone, I might have to disagree with you here! While there
isn't much of a directly 313-related scene, Canberra has a very small
but tight underground that comprises lots of different elements of
underground music. 

I played at a party at the art school down there last October and it
was pretty solid - there were three rooms, one with bands, one with DJs
playing lots of different styles from jungle/dnb to minimal tech to
freaked-out house and so on and then there was an experimental room with
all kinds of interesting live performances. There's quite a lot of
producers in and around Canberra - including some world-class talent -
though a couple of the guys who've really helped push alternative music
have recently moved out of town.

Because there's so few people into anything but mainstream choons, they
all band together and so you get much more diversity in styles at the
alternative parties - when Jeff Mills played Canberra recently he was
supported by DJs spinning House, Broken Beat and Electro, and
consequently delivered a set that was much more diverse than his other
Aus outings, more in line with his recent tour with Garnier than the
straight-up tech we got in Sydney (not that I'm complaining!).

There might not be a million parties every single week, or month, in
Canberra, but there's a good grassroots community of passionate peeps
down there that you'll probably get on quite well with. Lemme know when
you're going and I'll hook you up with some heads.

Lost In Translation (just dreamy and lovely)

I'll also second the call for the Akira soundtrack - it's amazing.
There are actually two versions available - one with just the music, and
the second has dialogue from the film over the top of selected bits of

ago called 'The Trip'? They basically took heaps of (royalty-free) NASA
footage and accompanied it with some wicked proto-idm stuff. They
released a double CD of the soundtrack that was simply wicked.

This sounds good! They don't have to be strictly electronic either. I
am 
quite intrigued by some of the soundtracks which have been influential
on
electronic types or appropriated by that wider scene. Eg, how come
Morricone
comps get reviewed in electronic/dance mags (even when no remixes)?
I wonder what the duds could be, hmmm, Oakenfold? Ha.

Nick Taylor is actually quite well known in Aus amongst the outdoor
party scene, and his profile in Sydney is growing rapidly. He's based in
Byron Bay (Australia's mecca for hippies - well, trustafarians at least)
and while the music he plays is hardly 313 material, he still is a
kickass DJ with a great sound. I always look forward to hearing him at
doofs because it's a welcome relief from all the psy-trance. He
describes his sound as 'psychedelic acid disco'. The jury's out on
whether it contains soul or authenticity though - I suspect it might
induce taste-spasms amongst a large number of folk here...

His DJing partner is called Jackie Onassid, who deserves props alone
for having such a great name.

Re: (313) DJ MIXER: what would be your choice?

2004-09-15 Thread Simon Hindle
I've heard plenty of reports questioning the durability of the AH
mixers (well, the 62 and the 464) - apparently the Pioneers are the most
indestructible, but don't have anything approximating the sound
quality.

Perhaps the 92 has got these issues ironed out - it certainly looks
more rugged, and finally combines features from all the previous models
into one unit, as well as having 'DJ-style' fader knobs rather than
'engineer-style' fader knobs...

If you can manage without linear faders, the Rane 2016 is super hot.

I do like vestax mixers as well (I REALLY like the PMC-250 with those
dual EQ's), but don't know how they hold up in terms of durability. That
new PMC-CX looks pretty nifty; the master isolator function seems
interesting, though I don't quite understand what it's all about.

Get an AH 92 though. And let us all come over and have a play on it

(off topic can anyone recommend privately some good recent anime
films)?

And the first matrix was supercool but the sequels sucked hard.

 Cyclone Wehner [EMAIL PROTECTED] 16/08/2004 2:54:22 am

I have been thinking about 'techno' films  - ie films that the techno 
community have adopted as part of their subculture - as lately I've
been
catching up on DVDs when I am too tired to do anything else
constructive. ;)

I guess hip-hop types have Star Wars but techno people I find are into
Metropolis, Bladerunner and The Matrix - classic sci fi.

Personally I didn't quite get into The Matrix. It's very strong
visually -
and very clever - but I found it very cold and devoid of any humanity
and
the third instalment was infuriating with its inconsistencies and poor
script. However, it is fun observing spots in the first as though they
took
out obvious Sydney features, it's clearly Sydney and I know that
Dymocks
store spot well. ;)

I much preferred Dark City, also shot in Sydney, with the underrated
Rufus
Sewell - who was so amazing as Stuart era super mack Charles II
recently.
Funny it came out before The Matrix...

Some others might be (or these are some of my faves):
Gattica (slept-on, what more can I say)
Artificial Intelligence (very simple yet profound, loved the multiple
endings)
Minority Report (interesting, I almost warmed to Tom Cruise in this
role)

Anyway I am wondering if any of you esteemed people would like to
suggest
your favourite techno film/s.

Yeah, I'll echo James' sentiments here - I too have no qualms about
using the net to get hold of out-of-print rareties, but I find that
downloading current stuff for preview purposes is great - I still spend
as much money on vinyl as I used to, but thanks to the use of P2P as a
'listening post' I find that the quality-to-crap ratio of my purchases
has improved immensely. Basically, I get to spend as long as I like
(within reason) with a track before deciding whether to buy it or not -
not a quick 2 minute listen in a shop or even worse a scratchy 30 second
sample. Great for picking up those tracks that 'grow on you' which you
might have initially disregarded on a record store visit and we've all
done that, I'm sure...

labels - i'm dealing with way out of print, rare sh*t that can't be

i agree with ani below.

thing is though if you want these tracks for playing out, or whatever,
mp3s (unless the very minimum of 192k, and even then) just won't cut
it. it has to be be a full wav/aiff. and do you trust th person who
ripped it to do a good job of recording it in? (uness ripped off cd of
course)

i view the p2p dl's as just a way of hearing a full preview of the
material really (like you can do on any record store but with short
low
quality clips). once heard an you like, buy it.

the dl'ing of stuff off p2ps of underground labels is basically
stealing. i know i know i've heard all the arguments about how this
shti should be free etc etc. but we aren't talking huge record
conglomerates here (dl'ing the latest missy elliot cd is a far cry
from
dl'ing a downlow release). in terms of underground labels we are
talking people like us just scraping together cash to get a run of 500
records out. sometimes selling parts of prized record collections on
ebay to do so.

to steal off people like that is wrong and will be to the detriment of
our scene.

ok, i've gone off on one there where it praps wasn't necessary but i
wanted to get that off my chest. i am not saying that p2ps are wrong
or
anything like that (though replace missy elliot with cubase and
downlow
with ableton and you have my views on cracked software) but i think
people if they dl the latest underground release off a small label and
they like it and play it then they are obliged to buy really.

sharing of mixes etc on p2p (unless it's a proper release off a cd) is
ok tho and is what i use p2ps for when i do.

robin...


 can't wait to hear this.

 regarding p2p file sharing of unreleased material, i don't condone
 people stealing other peoples' material.  but at the same time, i
 believe i have the freedom to download material because i only play
 vinyl and will ultimately have to buy the record anyway.  i know the
 titles i will buy when they come out, and may want a listen before
 shopping.  also, a bit of laziness when it comes to encoding vinyl
 contributes to my support of sharing music on p2ps.

(313) Laptop performances

2004-06-24 Thread Simon Hindle
So I've been having a bit of a discussion on a local messageboard about
laptop performances.

By and large, they're really BORING. It looks like people are checking
their email. Or, if they're bopping along, it looks like they're
checking important email but really need to go to the toilet.

What's the solution? Name some laptop performances you've seen that
were really good SHOWS. And say why they were. Is it really simply a
case of having stellar visuals as well, or is there a whole new paradigm
out there for this type of performance?

I liked Kraftwerk's minimal-movement-black-suits-and-plinths affair,
but that sorta ties in with their aesthetic, and I heard Aphex Twin did
a show where he just lay on the floor and twiddled with the laptop - no
effort at all. That appeals to me in a twisted way but is somewhat
gimmicky.

I personally wonder if laptop performances are more suited to more
artistic interpretations - ie having a gig in an office, with extras sat
at desks with PCs as well, and only one of them is the musician. Stuff
like that.

Yeah, I'm actually quite enjoying this acid revival. It seems to be the
next 'big' sound - it's only a matter of time before Madonna starts
wailing over bubbling 303 basslines but in the meantime there's some
nice stuff coming out - Abe Duque's 'What Happened' EP, some of the
newer Poker Flat stuff, some Trapez releases - all have got that
unmistakable squelch about them and are great tunes to boot. Hell, even
the mighty Kraftwerk have a full-on acid shakedown on the Aerodynamik EP
courtesy of Alex Gopher and Etienne De Crecy (one of the weaker
manifestations of the sound imho).

Of course, it means that lots of people will be reaching for their
copies of rebirth and going at it like loons possessed and we're already
starting to see a fair bit of crap around but I think it's unfair to
dismiss *everything*.

(313) Akufen Mix for download

2004-06-22 Thread Simon Hindle
Akufen is next up in the Fabric mix series, and if you go to
www.fabriclondon.com you ought to be able to navigate to the info
page for the release. There's a decent interview with him, but more
importantly there's a decent quality streamed half hour promo mix he's
done ahead of the proper release (in about 3 weeks time). I think it's
lovely.

So go check it out!


Re: (313) CJAM 91.5 Windsor - Movement Main Stage MP3 archives

2004-06-16 Thread Simon Hindle
I don't think it's that much of a mess...

just for your infos, Francois K's set begins in the last 5 mins of the
file dated 30 May, 21:39 and spans over the subsequent 3 files (ie into
the file dated 31 May 00:39)

for the next day, if you download the 5 files from 31 May 20:39 to 1
June 00:38 you'll get the last bit of Electrofunk and then Kevin
Saunderson and then Rolando. The sound files concatenate perfectly and
so it's not a great drama to re-edit them in soundforge etc so you get
complete sets.

I've only heard a bit of each of the sets and they sound well worth the
effort!

 Go to archives on the main page, read the blurb and then click
 on the CJAM Broadcast Archives link.  Or go directly to

 Unfortunately, the archives are timestamped, so you'll have to
 check the timestamps and correlate with the posted Movement
 schedule (which isn't exactly accurate).

Re: RE: (313) new bits / Tresor

2004-06-10 Thread Simon Hindle
I lve the Osborne remixes! It's hard for me to pick a fave though -
I'm playing the Matthew Dear one the most at the moment. (You can get
the TNT mix for free mp3 download from www.ghostly.com along with a
whole heap of other goodies).

I'm also enjoying:

Minority EP on Tunnel 7
M.I.A. feat. Tek Bros - 'All I need' on L-3000 (a great track to mix
after the Carl Craig rmx of 'Tides', BTW)
Narcotic Syntax release on Perlon

Also I was surfing Juno yesterday and found a track by Zap Mama called
'Bandy Bandy' which has a couple of Carl Craig remixes on it - C2 has
now turned his attention toward contemporary dancehall it seems. I like
it. Well, I like the crappy sample of it at least!

I was at Tresor for the first time back in Feb, and it also took us an
hour or two to figure out there were more rooms.  The basement is
*insane*, has to be one of the most intense techno-related experiences
anywhere.  Sounds like I need to go back and do a bit more exploring; I
must have missed the Globus room completely...
The other great thing about Tresor is the cost.  10 Euros for Blake
Baxter, Pacou, and a host of others I can't recall at the moment -- plus
cheap beer.  
Did you stay at The Circus Hostel?  that place is amazing...

 I have to say Alex this was my best gig ever becuase it was an 
 ultimatedream come true and I loved 
 the feel of the dark vault and its sweaty walls, its such a 
 contrast to 
 upstairs and if Tresor ever goes it will be 
 a tragedy thats for sure. 
 
 I'll bet Ian! 
 
 yeah, that's some dark ass action they got going on down there. 
 It's like 
 some sort of torture vault or something. 
 
 I have to say I liked upstairs though as well. Infact, I was in 
 the pub 
 last night and all my mates were pretty surprised that I thought 
 it was so 
 good... maybe it was because I was away and it all seemed 
 different. I 
 dunno, by the time I'd got to Tresor I'd been on a 24 hour non stop 
 drinking bender. So my opinions are probs skewed. 
 
 anyway I wrote a massive long post, I put a bit about tresor in so 
 I cp'd 
 so you can see my opinions on it. 
 
 5am came and the club shut. The rest of our boys had headed to 
 bed, but I 
 wasn't really up for going home, so Mike and I thought we'd head 
 over to 
 Tresor to see if it was still open. Arrived there 5.30 ish, walked 
 in and 
 it was JUMPING!! Pretty gob-smacked really, wasn't expecting much 
 at all, 
 but it was hot. Grabbed some beers, found ourselves a little 
 corner and 
 spent an hour or so dancing away, watching the ladies go by. So, 
 we were in 
 this room on the ground floor, and thought this was it - I was 
 surprisedthat the music wasn't really banging, I heard Metro Area 
 5 again in here, 
 some other stuff that I'm guessing was sort of Kompakt style 
 things and 
 some kinda modern poppy italo electronic stuff which I didn't have 
 a clue 
 what it was. The dj couldn't really beat match that well, but was 
 workinghis records and pretty much had the crowd eating out of his 
 hand. Everybody 
 was going pretty wild... 
 
 It took at least an hour for us to realise that there was infact 
 more rooms 
 to it! The Globus room is quite thin, but very long with bars at 
 bothends, the dj box in the middle, raised up. High ceilings 
 didn't really 
 affect the sound at all and there was all the usual kinda 'club' 
 decorations in there... At one end of the room was a little door 
 leading to 
 a tiny back room that was also a bar. There was a great dj on in
here, 
 again playing a bit of everything, and a garden out back which I 
 sat in for 
 a while and listened to the chit the guy was playing. Nice
selections. 
 
 You had to go through this room to get to the famous Tresor vault. 
 Down the 
 stairs, past the merchandise stall and past another bar, there 
 were some 
 metal gates leading to the vault 
 
 Flippin 'eck! It was madness! Just a dark dark room (I couldnt see 
 my hand 
 infront of my face), a strobe, a low ceiling and it was packed 
 with loads 
 of mad german techno heads getting lost in the heavy heavy 'main 
 room at 
 Lost' kinda vibe. We spent a while down here. It was heavy s**t. 
 Dark dark 
 music, drum loops all the way, no melody, just driving hard music. 
 I guess 
 it could have been alot harder - UK heads, a Bicknell set in the 
 main room 
 at Lost was exactly what it was like They were using Ableton 
 Live too 
 when I popped over to have a look. I couldn't tell before I looked 
 thoughwhich I guess was a good thing. 
 
 so, anyway, we left tresor about 9.30 am and wondered the streets of

 Berlin, gazing at all the cool buildings in the basking sunshine. 
 No map, 
 didn't know where we were going but somehow ended up back on the 
 street to 
 out hostel. Stopped at the Petrol Station to find it sold

(313) Sydney Spam - High-Jinks this Sat

2004-06-03 Thread Simon Hindle
That's right - another High-Jinks, this Saturday at the Sly Fox on
Enmore Rd.

7pm-3am, free entry, cheap beers and a pool comp.

And, to make this vaguely relevant to the list at large, one of our
guests will be fellow listmember JAMES BUCKNELL, who will be blowing us
all away, Reader's Digest-style - in other words he'll be playing an
epic 6-hour set (condensed edition).

Two other guests of note as well - MIU, who says he'll be taking us on
a Drexcyian underwater adventure, and APHASIC, who in addition to his
skills on the 1s and 2s and love of all things german, is also a bona
fide psychiatrist. No word yet on whether he'll be delivering analyses
on what our track selection says about our relationships with our
mothers.

Be good to see you there.


RE: (313) my personal experience at movement

2004-06-02 Thread Simon Hindle
It seems like there's a fair bit of weight given to monetary concerns
after each movement/DEMF event - stories of Derrick May hitting his
folks up for cash, contractors threatening to walk out and so on...

From reading reports, it's apparent that so far the organisers have had
to make Herculean struggles to get the event going each year, and
perhaps that's part of the whole event - perhaps the struggle is as
important as the event itself, or synonymous with it in some esoteric
artistic way.

It seems to me that the two quickest routes to a less stressful
breakeven are sponsorship or charging on the door. I can understand
immediately the ethical concerns with sponsorship, but are the
organisers so idealistic that they wouldn't ask for even five bucks on
the door? Hell, if they're that keen to not charge for an event they
could just make it really easy to sneak in (ie not have fences or
security solely to keep out intruders) so that the only people who pay
are those who feel obliged to do so from their own personal moral
standpoint. That seems like a bit more of a pragmatic approach than
having donation boxes full of half-eaten cheeseburgers.

I'm sure that even if they did that they'd at least generate enough
revenue from ticket sales to cover the logistical costs of doing so - at
least then they'd still have that seemingly important struggle to
contend with!

all IMHO, naturally.


(313) Carl Craig/Talking Heads

2004-05-31 Thread Simon Hindle
I was reading an interview with the Unabombers (Electric Chair) last
night and they were asked what their top 5 records of the moment were.

In #1 position they listed Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime (Carl

Does anybody know anything about this? I had no luck at Discogs.


Re: (313) Don't forget to Perlon!

2004-05-28 Thread Simon Hindle
I ordered this at the start of the week and am so excited about its
arrival! I read somewhere that one half of Narcotic Syntax is (Manic
Street Preacher) James Dean Bradfield? Is this true?

'The Drumpads Of Jericho' is a great title for a track!

 jason kenjar [EMAIL PROTECTED] 28/05/2004 9:22:30 am 
What's up? I'll tell ya whats up!

The Narcotic Syntax on Perlon! It's nothing short of amazing! Please 
take my word for it and pick it up on sight.

Its a really unique combination music and poetry and story.  Get this,

all the poetry in the music has been printed on the inside paper sleeve

to read along as you listen. Here is a little snippet of narcotic 
poetry which explains their work- its on the sleeve too:

 All notes of this daring construction are formed out of the remnants

of a music culture from the last white spot on the jungle map. Every 
single sound has been placed into the composition by laborious, 
time-consuming manual operation. The arrangement is not from this 
world. The groove orbits around your own passion. The rhythm wins the 
fight of love for detail. 

If you don't already want to run out and listen, don't let rely on 
on-line samples or a quick stop at the record store to make your 
decision for you. Take it home and read the poetic stories as you 
listen.

My pick of the friggin' year so far, and what an amazing 5 months it 
has already been! Its a really good time to like electronic music, 
folks.

The Sonar mix is my fave but they're all of a high standard IMO.  Lots
of
older Detroit and chicago tracks (circa late 80's to early 90's).

Some of you probably are familiar with the output of the Merck label,
but
you probably don't associate it with techno.

But Adam Johnson's CD Chigliak' has some absolute winners in the
techno
category. the track Traber especially reminds me of Octave One, and it
would
be killer in a set. Too bad this isn't out on vinyl!






(313) Party in Sydney/Pulsation mixes

2004-04-16 Thread Simon Hindle
Hey folks

If you haven't already, please go check out Pulsation - Fabrice's mixes
are fantastic, but there's so much other good stuff up there. Check
Llorca and Garnier live for a wonderful version of 'Man with the Red
Face' and of course there's the Theo mixes on there as well (there's
bound to be at least one person who hasn't heard them, right?). Bit of a
pain that they're only 64kbps tho...

A quick plug for a party we're throwing in Sydney tomorrow (Saturday 17
April) night...

High Jinks Strikes Back!!!

Sly Fox, 199 Enmore Rd, Enmore. 7pm-3am, free entry, free pool table,
$6 cocktails between 7 and 9 (ie ideal economic situation for those of
you saving up for planet e represses). Guest DJs are Zootie from Mad
Racket and Methodixxx from Swarm. Should be plenty to keep any 313-types
happy - if you come along, approach and identify, as there's typically a
few listmembers in attendance. 313 in the 612! Hit me up off-list for
more details.

Have a good weekend y'all!
