Never thought I'd say this, but I'm unsubscribing for a while. Seems like

people bitching at each other, or inane one-line replies which quote 40

Hi Lauren - I'm surprised you haven't had more of a response to this! I
guess 313 is happier bitching over geographical issues than talking about

Anyway, some of my personal techno faves of the past few months, off the top
of my head, have been: Kenny Larkin's 'The Narcissist and Lucien N Luciano's
'Blind Behaviour', both on Peacefrog; all of Mathew Jonson's stuff on
ItIsWhatItIs and Minus; the 3 Chairs LP; Jeff Mills' 'From The 21st' 12"s on
Axis; the three 12"s on Soloaction out of Berlin, the Adam Johnson album on
Merck...

There's been plenty more great music coming out but there's a few for

The original track is 'Chicago' by Roy Ayers, from his 1983 'Lots Of Love'

Global Communication sampled it for 'Chicago Chicago' on Universal Language.

And Henrik Schwarz sampled it for the imaginatively-titled 'Chicago' on Mood

Sorry for the delayed reply on this one, just got back from a week away to
find a 313 email mountain!

It was me who originally sent the link to 313 - we recorded the set when Rob
came and played for us at the Unit, and put the mix on the Traxx site at
www.traxxevents.com/music. But we had to take it down because the link got
crossposted to loads of other forums all over the web and the ensuing
thousands of downloads rapidly blew our monthly bandwidth limit!

If anyone still wants to download it I can provide a super-secret link to
where the file now resides, but I'd rather do this over private mail for
obvious reasons.

Anyway, back to your original question, it's Mine To Give by Photek w/
Robert Owens, from his Solaris album on Virgin/Science. Also came out on 12"
with some fairly wack commercial house remixes I believe...

Talking of Virgin/Science, I picked up a copy of Stacey Pullen's album
recently and can't believe I slept on it when it first came out, there are
some ridiculously good tracks on there, a really unique kind of sci-fi
broken beat/techno hybrid...

Music highlights for me were:

Jeff Mills on Saturday night - incredibly funky and intense, with several
mindblowing moments, including a blistering 909 solo and a jaw-dropping
piece of work using Sugarhill Gang's Rappers Delight on the new Pioneer DVD
deck... 

Francois K on the Friday afternoon - from Burial Mix to Tres Demented to dub
poetry to Stardancer to Instant House to Strings Of Life via loads of
top-notch laptop, FX and EQ wizardry, in the sunshine with beer in hand...

Soma party at La Terrazza on the Thursday night - not strictly part of Sonar
but probably the best vibe of the whole last week, with what seemed like
half of Glasgow in attendance. Truly stunning open-air venue on the hillside
and loads of smiling people...

Roots Manuva at the Sonar Pro party on the Thursday night - went here before
the Soma party and was most impressed with Roots Manuva's live set. Great
sound, tight band, top tunes...

Madlib and co on the Saturday night - jazz drum solos aplenty from Madlib
and Prefuse 73, some seriously phat beats from J-Rocc on the decks and some
amusing rhyming from Prince Po...

Honourable mention also to Matthew Dear's live set on the Friday...

Didn't really see a huge amount of music, but the stuff we made an effort to
check out was generally excellent. Had an absolutely brilliant time overall
and I'm really glad I decided to go again...

The problem was mainly down to the sound engineer in the room - the same guy
who ruined the sound when Francois K played at the Arches. The system itself
was up to it, and it sounded fine when we soundchecked earlier in the
evening, but the engineer in his infinite wisdom decided to keep messing
around with the EQ and the levels over the course of the night, and it just
seemed to get worse and worse.

This was a major disappointment for everyone, and Traxx have taken steps to
make sure he's never in charge of one of their sound systems again. We were
all very p*ssed off about it and apparently many harsh words have been
spoken by the Traxx boys to those concerned...

Apparently Scion are keen to come back later in the year, with Tikiman, and
do the set again in a smaller venue with a sound system that will do them
justice, so I'll keep you posted as and when I know more...

Absolutely - part of the fun at Sonar is checking out all the acts 
you've never heard of during the daytime, drinking beer in the sunshine 
and just hanging out. The night-time events are fine if you like huge 
cavernous aircraft-hangers and banging techno, but it can be a bit 
much...


Another tip for Sonar is that if you're even vaguely affiliated with a 
company that's involved in the music industry it's well worth spending 
the little bit extra for a 'professional accreditation' ticket - you'll 
save loads of time queuing, and you'll have access to bars where you'll 
get served quicker - plus you get a nice goodie bag...

Just a small point: Krivit in fact only re-edited the track - the actual

The poor sound quality is partly down to the fact that (like the Transmat
Relics LP that was 'repressed' recently) this is a bootleg of the original
Buzz LP, not a remaster or even a straight repress. Buzz are no longer in
business...

But the sound quality is never that great to start with when you're trying
to fit more than 15 minutes worth of music on a single side of vinyl...

When I saw them in Sonar last year they were playing only his compositions

I went to see Rhythm & Sound and Paul St Hilaire (the artist formerly known
as Tikiman) in Glasgow on Friday. The event was held at the WInter Gardens
on Glasgow Green - an enormous glass conservatory filled with exotic plants,
attached to the People's Palace museum in the middle of a huge park.

Mark and Moritz were in their 'Rhythm & Sound 45 sessions' guise, which
meant they were basically just playing dub 7"s, with Moritz working an echo
unit and a dub siren and Paul St Hilaire doing live vocals on top. Plenty of
sublime moments, although they didn't play any of their own material, just
loads of obscure dub records, most of which I didn't recognise.

All good fun though, and they were accompanied by some excellent visuals
courtesy of the Glasshouse Transmissions crew - hats off to them for another
adventurous night of clubbing in the city, following their previous events
with the likes of Weatherall, Skam DJs and Plaid at the same venue.

So did anyone go and see R&S at Plastic People in London on Sunday? I bet it
would have sounded awesome on that sound system...

(313) Juan Atkins, Louis Digital and CiM last Saturday...

2004-03-16 Thread Tom Churchill
Great night of music in Glasgow on Saturday. First up was Juan Atkins and
Louis Digital at the Arches - Louis warmed up in fine style with a nice mix
of Detroit classics and jacking Chicago gear with plenty of his own material
thrown in. Juan played a set that for me wasn't too exciting, peppered with
classics but also a fair amount of fairly dull looped bangers - but he
seemed to rock the crowd well enough.

The fun really started afterwards, however, with a party at the Unit which
kicked off around 3.30. First up was a live set from CiM which was my
musical highlight of the night, if not the year - building from sublime
electronica to some of his more uptempo Emoticon/Headspace releases and some
wonderful unreleased tracks. Juan stepped up again for a two hour set of
much more interesting music - house tracks from Theo Parrish and Joshua, a
few of his own classics and some really nice deep techno. His mixing may be
a bit ropey but the tunes make up for it - and hey, he invented techno, we
can cut him a little slack :)

Louis finished the night off with another rocking set, until Jupiter Jazz
with the EQs up finally caused the sound system to collapse and we called it
a night at 7am. A proper Glasgow party...

Some Glasgow events coming up soon:
March 27: Arne Weinberg & Matt Chester
April 2:  Rhythm & Sound w/ Tikiman
April 10: Robert Hood

Mail me off-list if anyone wants more info.

Kraftwerk tomorrow night! Can't wait...

There are no samples on the Emoticon release - all the strings are played

Re: (313) edits

2004-03-03 Thread Tom Churchill
> what is the difference between an "edit" and a "remix" ???

A re-edit, in the original sense of the word, uses only the final
two-channel (stereo) recording of a song, which is then cut up, extended,
shortened, reversed, put through effects etc. These days this would most
likely be done in audio software like Pro Tools, Logic or Cubase, but in the
old days it would be done by cutting and splicing quarter-inch reel-to-reel
tape.

A remix, on the other hand, is generally done by someone who's been given
access to the original multi-track tape (in the old days) or individual
sounds, loops, samples, beats etc (today). The remixer can then use as many
or as few of the original building blocks of the song as they like, in
conjunction with musical elements created themselves, to create a new track
which uses any number of parts of the original.

The primary difference being that anyone with a copy of the record can do
their own 'edit', but to do a proper 'remix' you need the original producer
to provide you with the song's original 'building blocks' in isolation.

Cheers,

Tom

Yeah, this tune is absolutely killer - if anyone wants to hear it, Gilles

The show also has a live session from Dani Siciliano which is worth a

In other news - went to see Ricardo Villalobos and Jeff Mills at Pressure in
Glasgow last night. Villalobos was pretty dull and didn't really do anything
for me at all, but Jeff was on fire - tight mixing, hard as nails but funky
as hell, working three decks like crazy. No-one beats him for sheer
intensity and energy. He was playing bits of 2001: A Space Odyssey off DVD
too, and working bits of the sound track into the mix, which sounded pretty
cool...

So Londoners - if you're torn between Villalobos @ Fabric or Mills @ Lost
tonight, I know which I'd choose. Mind you, just noticed Rolando and Luciano
are both playing Fabric too, which makes it a bit trickier... anyway have
fun whatever you do!

Glasshouse Transmissions are putting on "Rhythm & Sound with Paul St Hilaire
(aka Tikiman)" here in Glasgow on April 2nd, apparently, for any listmembers
north of the border.

It's in the greenhouse/garden of the People's Palace on Glasgow Green, which
is a pretty cool place for a party. I've not made it to any of their other
nights (Andy Weatherall, Plaid, Skam DJs etc) but heard good reports...

Also now's probably a good time to plug this:

Saturday March 13

I use them a couple of times a month on average - absolutely faultless
service. Definitely the fastest mailorder record store in the UK, I've often
ordered records at 4pm which have still arrived the next morning. Their
postage rates have increased a bit recently but their record prices are
generally pretty good (and often a bit cheaper than other places)...

I wondered the same thing when Apple launched their iTunes Music Store - but
eight months later they've sold 30 million songs. And bear in mind the
service is only available to Mac users (approx 5% of the market), and only
in America. So it looks like the market's definitely there...

While we're on the subject - would people on the list pay to download (for
example) Headspace and Emoticon tracks as high-quality MP3s? Trying to work
out whether it's worth exploring these alternative forms of selling music on
such a small scale...

It's not the price so much as the fact that there's not much music on the
record - Mahigani releases are priced the same as normal US imports here but
spending £8 on one short, average track isn't something all of us are happy
to do unless the track is really amazing...

Here's a hypotherical question - would you have bought the Kai Alce record
if it had been released on a label other than Mahogani? What if it was an
import from Europe on a label you'd never heard of, with no association to
KDJ whatsoever? I'm just curious as to what extent the fact that it has
KDJ's blessing would influence your decision to buy a record.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big KDJ fan too - I'm just not prepared to buy
records which sound average just because they're on his label. If you
genuinely like the record and would have bought it regardless then fine, I'm
not challenging you - just curious...

I'm sceptical as to how much the prices really will increase for the latest
batch of Mahogani stuff. Even stuff like the ultra-limited Private Pressing
isn't going for very high amounts on eBay yet. I think most of the hardcore
collectors are buying the new stuff as soon as it comes out, whereas a lot
of them would have missed the early KDJ releases first time round, hence the
high second-hand prices for those...

But while we're on the subject I think the last couple of Mahogani releases
have been pretty weak - I wouldn't mind paying full price for a one-sided
12" if the track was amazing, but the AM and Kai Alce things are pretty
underwhelming IMHO...

It's ridiculous isn't it? Supposedly it's because they're limited to 2000
copies. But going by that logic, I could sell Emoticon stuff for £20 because
they're limited to 500 copies!

Also there's a message on the sleeve saying 'Support those who try to make a
difference' - well I'd be more inclined to support him if he charged the
same for his records as every other struggling independent.

Yes, if the mix CD is on someone else's label. For example, if Sony released
a Jeff Mills mix CD they would pay him a fee to actually do the mix and to
be associated with it; plus a licensing advance to Axis for any Axis tracks
used; plus mechanical royalties for each of the tracks used, which would
eventually reach his publishing company (Millsart BMI).

But if he's releasing a mix CD on his own label, the situation is different
- he'll be paying mechanical publishing royalties for all the tracks he's
using (some of which will eventually come back to him, if he's using his own
tracks); plus licensing advances to the labels of all the other tracks he's
using...

Sure - here's what iTunes help says - the vital info is in point 3:

1 Insert an audio CD in your computer. After a moment, the songs on the CD
are listed in the iTunes window.

2  Click to remove the checkmark next to any songs you don't want to import
into your library.

3  If you want to remove the gap of silence that normally occurs between
songs, select two or more adjacent songs and choose Advanced > Join CD
Tracks.

*iTunes imports any joined songs as one track*. To change back to importing
the songs separately, select the joined songs and choose Advanced > Unjoin
CD Tracks.

4  Click the Import button to add the selected songs to your library. The
display area at the top of the iTunes window shows how much time it will
take to import each song. To cancel import, click the small X next to the
progress bar.
