Re: (313) Christian Morgenstern dead

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

I'm writing a news item about this very unfortunate occurrance and whilst
looking Morgenstern up saw him named as a member of Kitbuilders. He's also
said to have recorded as Benway, Human Target and Visco Space. Can anyone
confirm any of this? Any other known identities/collaborations? I'd like to
have my facts straight for this, but am on deadline.

Thanks in advance,

(313) five days off in Berlin

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

I'm off to Berlin next week to attend Musik & Maschine and staying for the
whole Love Parade weekend. I wondered if any Berliners on the list might be
able to suggest some cool things to see and do while I'm in town - not to
mention any parties they could recommend. I have visited the city before so
I'm maybe looking for slightly less obvious suggestions than, say, Tresor
and the Brandenburg Gate! :-) Markets, music and clothes shops, interesting
districts, monuments, exhibitions, bars, restaurants etc etc, all and any
suggestions will be gratefully received.

Cheers!

He's still in Sweden and may be resurfacing soon: a guy I know travels there
a lot and told me recently 'We've found Wild Planet!'. Apparently he works
in a record shop and hasn't donne much recording for ages, but might be
tempted out of 'retirement' in the coming months. He also recorded as

now-defunct Brute label. Definitely one of the UK's most underrated talents.

Re: (313) introducing... Sturmey Archer

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

It's a cover of 'Shack Up', not a remix, and was on their FACT2002 EP on
Optimo Singles Club records, alongside a great version of 'Love Will Tear Us
Apart' and one of Section 25 'Looking From A Hilltop'. Every time I play
'Love...' people come up and ask about it. Think the EP might be hard to
find now, but try the Optimo site for starters. Bis, in the meantime, have
announced they're splitting and recently did a farewell tour. There's a Bis
site somewhere, have a search. Their version of 'Shack Up' is also on a
US-only EP they did which also had remixes by Adult, Ectomorph and Tommie
Sunshine and is well worth finding for anyone who likes a bit of pop with
their electro.

(313) Lab Rat XL (Was : New Drexciya album out!)

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

I'm a bit late to 'pipe up' on this, having not checked the list for a few
days, but I can't claim credit for that bit of misinformation, I'm afraid.
It was my Slut colleague RHJ (Richard Hector Jones) who got PP Roy and
Drexciya mixed up, not me. I'm pretty certain the two are unconnected, aside
from both having released on Rephlex, of course. So, Ken, back to the pipe
for you! :-)

For the record, I'd have to agree that the Grava 4 LP on Clone was a weak
Drexciya release and the first Transllusion LP on Supremat didn't really do
it for me either. But I think Shifted Phases 'Rupert J..' and the 2nd
Transllusion LP ('LIFE' on Rephlex) are both excellent. Must try and check
both these new ones.

Cheers!

Re: (313) Sonar...

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

I always think the Sonar line-ups are odd, to be honest. Looking at the list
below, and leaving aside those car thieves O&N, you might wonder why
has-beens Underworld are in there, for example. Or Fat Truckers? Or Darren
Price? He's been so low-profile the last few years I thought he'd retired.
Then you always seem to get the same old big DJ names playing - Mills,
Garnier, Hawtin, Cox, Peterson etc - who although they're all good DJs in
their different ways, are hardly going to be much of an event to the people
attending. I reckon they all just like the festival so much they're willing
to drop their prices to play there every year.

But Robert is right, it's the little known acts, along with all the other
parties and just the general atmosphere of the festival and the beauty of
Barca, that are the best reasons for going. I'd love to go again but once
again, lack of funds prevents it.

I don't think you should feel chastised, Cyclone - this is the 313 list, not
a solely Detroit techno list. Eminem, MC5, White Stripes, they're all valid
subjects for discussion here AFAIK.

I have it, it's called 'Butterfly Caught'. It's a nice groove, but not much
more. It comes with two downtempo Paul Daley mixes, but none of them have a
vocal. Anyone know if there was a vocal on the MA original? I presume not
but if there was, why dump it? I never understand it when remixers do that.

NP: John Tejada & Arian Leviste: Fairfax Sake

(313) Fw: New Robert Hood Album

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

Artist: Robert Hood
Title: Wire To Wire
Label: Peacefrog
Format : 2x12" / CD
Cat Number: PFG042 / PFG042CD
Release date: 30 June 2003

>From the opening bars of 'Make A Wish', the lead track on Robert Hood's new
long player 'Wire To Wire', you know you're in for a musical treat. Robert's
long association with the 'minimal sound' is well documented, and rightly
so - his 'Minimal Nation' release on Axis is still considered the benchmark
for the genre nearly 8 or so years on. But, Robert is definitely no
one-trick pony. His rare and beautiful 'Nighttime World' on Cheap is a
beautiful concoction of jazzy electronics still sought after by many non
techno / electronic music fans today.

'Wire To Wire' manages to flirt with both of these timeless classics while
still remaining fresh & original - from the beautiful & ethereal 'Make A
Wish', 'Slightly', & 'Fragile Moments', and the haunting and eerie hip-hop
beats of 'The Game' to the dubbed out futurism of 'Upon A Millennial
Moment', 'Wire To Wire' certainly gives us a glimpse into Robert's
down-tempo / electronic prowess. But it doesn't stop there, the real mark of
Robert's production talents are shown when he effortlessly manages to make
euphoric funky minimalism such as 'The Wire' & 'Aural 512' nestle perfectly
alongside. A perfectly balanced album to be enjoyed either at home or in a
club.  Classic music that will stand the test of time.

Track listing:

1. Make A Wish
2. The Game
3. Upon A Millennial Moment
4. Interior suspect
5. Slightly
6. Fragile Moments
7. High Plains Drifter
8. The Age Of Eleven
9. The Wire
10. Aural 512


Make A Wish is a suitably spell-binding opening track. Delicate pizzicato
keys paint a melody which ascends and descends over restrained percussion.
Occasional deep bass booms and gently-struck ride cymbals move the track
along, contributing to the playful feel of the music.

The sound of the strings used on The Game will be familiar to followers of
Robert's work, yet they are used with extra subtlety here. They lay atop a
broken-beat, while extra layers of shimmering tones add to the atmosphere.

The deep, organic-sounding percussion of Upon A Millennial Moment continues
the rich and sensual flavour of the album. This is only amplified further
when the sweeping strings and guitar-like instrumentation are added -
providing a true jewel in the crown of this album.

There's something very majestic about the opening chords of Interior
Suspect. It's a feeling which continues to build, as further layers of sound
are added to the mix. The first 4/4 kick of the album appears shortly
afterwards, carrying the music forward into more familiar, but no less
impressive, Robert Hood territory.

Slightly begins sounding like a click track gone wrong. The rhythm can't
decide to settle - adopting a human-like uncertainty, as many different
sounds appear to take a bow whilst never really taking the lead. This
represents the is the king of linear techno going against the grain!

Again well-titled, Fragile Moments communicates just that. The opening
ambience gives way to a slow, house-paced number which is as sun-drenched as
anything you'd find on a Cafe Del Mar compilation.

There's an audible jazz-influence to the keys on High Plains Drifter -
similar to the bubbling, tonal style of Rob's harder work, but employed in a
more soaring, downtempo way here. Drums are kept to a minimum, wisely -
restricted to a subtle selection of hi-hats and soft percussive sounds.

Brooding synths bring in The Age Of Eleven, which embarks upon a wandering
path of an string-led ambience - something which could be considered a
hallmark of this album.

The Wire is one of the only tracks on the album that fires straight into a
kickdrum-led drum pattern but, regardless, the achingly melodic keys still
manage to convey a feeling of fragility. melancholy even. This track sums up
the balance at work on this album (appropriate, given the title), and
underlines Robert's considerable talent as a producer.

The slow latin-inflected percussion of Aural 512 sees the album to it's
conclusion. String flourishes dance with each other, interacting perfectly,
and closing the album in a celebratory mood.

Look out for Robert Hood's 'Omega' (PFG043) the second in Peacefrog's ultra
rare 'Private Pressing' series.

Still available: PFG026 'Who Taught You Math' 12"
  PFG029 'The Art Of War' 2x12"

Subject: RE: (313) electro house is taking over (maybe not just in OZ)


Semi-seriously though: a lot of house music does seem (to me) to be gettting
a bit too polite of late. Even though I have enjoyed virtually everything
I've heard from Geist and Jesrani et al, I do think that they have
contributed rather a lot to a trend of too clean, rather tame and
'uneccentric' house. Which is why I've somewhat gone back to much older
material which displays a roughness simply because that was all that was
possible at the time (I'm talking pre-1990) from the technology available..
Also, what new stuff I buy has to have some sort of edge. I'm a bit mad, so
is the world, so is everyone I know! I appreciate slightly flaky house too.
I tend to plump for a lot of European stuff, some minimalist things,
Cologne/Vienna/Berlin sort of things, Brinkmann, even some Gigolo (but
choose that carefully!): e.g. That "Punishment" EP thing by David Carretta
from 02 (I think) is still very very spine tingling ... I saw Morgan Geist's
remix of the House of Jealous Lovers track, by the DFA, a white, avant-rock
sort of New York(?) group - a much rougher work than one would normally
associate with that Geist - as partial vindication of my burgeoning thoughts
(which are all natch, mho.)

(313) Fw: Disco D finds the Booty!

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

ARTIST: DISCO D
TITLE: A NIGHT AT THE BOOTY BAR
LABEL: TOMMY BOY
FORMAT: CD
RELEASE DATE: 9 JUNE 2003
CAT. NO: TB-1565-2

Disco D is dirty like Uncle Luke.  His music is fast and nasty like the
neighborhood slut you went to school with and if Mr. Mathers is Detroit's
worst kept secret, Disco D is the best.  Hailing from the Motor City which
pioneered such diverse genres of music ranging from rock-n-roll, to soul, to
techno; Disco D has become the poster boy for the underground phenomenon
known as Ghettotech.

He has been called everything from "surreally filthy," to the "holder of the
Ghettotech torch," to "devastatingly wicked," by the press, yet his mother
prefers to just call him David Shayman.  At only 22 years of age, Disco D
has already been featured and profiled in magazines such as Details, Urb,
Mixer, CMJ, and Wired.  Alternative Press included him in the "Top 100
Artists of 2001" and he has graced the cover of XLR8R.  As an alumnus of
University of Michigan's business school, Disco D founded and heads two
companies: Ghetto Tech Institute Recordings (GTI Recordings) as well as
Booty Bar (along with DJ Profit and DJ Salinger), the world's first
Ghettotech lifestyle brand.  He has released music on !K7, Mixconnection
Media, Intuit-Solar, as well as his own two labels, and has done remix work
for galactic space pimps 8 Ball and MJG, former Cash Money Millionaire B.G.,
as well as The Lords of Acid.  His underground mixtapes are coveted by the
tragically hip and his records are included in the sets of influential
international DJ's like Laurent Garnier, Bad Boy Bill, Andrew Weatherall and
Dave Clarke.

If Drum-n-Bass had been created in America, Ghettotech certainly would have
been the end result.  Like Drum-n-Bass, Ghettotech is the hybridization of
two cultures and genres of music.  Whereas Drum-n-Bass has heavy techno and
ragga influences, Ghettotech borrows from old school electro and raunchy
Miami Bass to create its own distinct sound and scene.  Ghettotech is
ultimately more fun and it is uniquely American in its sleazy decadence with
its amphetamine-paced beats and adult themes.  Indeed, Ghettotech will never
get played at a high school dance with its profane samples and raps
dedicated to topics ranging from cunnilingus, to smoking blunts, to getting
drunk... in other words, the finer things in life.  Ghettotech is meant to
actually make people dance, it is strictly populist; and it accomplishes
that largely with DJ battle tricks, frenetic beats, and its uniquely filthy
sound.

Although quite a few parallels can certainly be drawn between Drum-n-Bass
and Ghettotech, specifically the use of break beats and the convergence of
the black urban music scene and the largely white dance music culture, they
produce inherently different sounds.  Think 2 Live Crew meets electronic
dance music meets a bottle of Old English and you have Ghettotech.
Ghettotech has recently left Detroit's underground cabaret parties and strip
clubs to be embraced by more traditional dance music aficionados.  For those
that are "in the know" in the dance scene, Ghettotech is where it's at,
bitch.

Disco D's own brand of Ghettotech could be described as being more musical
than some of his contemporaries. Certainly, the tracks are a little richer -
more polished, and often more overtly funky than some of the standard booty
fare. As a DJ, he is the perfect compromise between the party styles of DJ
Assault, and the straight up turntablist deck-work of DJ Godfather. Disco D
manages to combine nifty programming with immaculate scratching, cutting,
and track-drops - you'll be in awe of his skills, yet he never interupts the
smooth flow of the mix.

Disco D's latest mixed effort A Night at the Booty Bar, marks an exciting
time at Tommy Boy with its equally strong representation of the two sounds
and cultures they capture best: dance and hip hop.  A Night at the Booty Bar
is a stunning mix and a good primer for those new to Ghettotech and a good
refresher for those already crotch-deep within the raunchy scene.  A Night
at the Booty Bar includes many of Disco D's original productions and
collaborations with artists like former Cash Money Millionaire B.G., Kid
Rock protégé Paradime, European darling Princess Superstar, Detroit's first
lady of rap Lola Damone and underground up-and-comer Helluva.  Naturally,
Disco D's stellar remixes are included as well as many classic Ghettotech
anthems.  In true mixtape fashion, Helluva, Lola, and Harlem's Solace
blesses the disc with freestyles.  A Night at the Booty Bar hits the racks
on June 8th. Hear it at your favourite strip club and warehouse parties.

(313) Fw: Speedy J dances the Tanga

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

New Speedy J material a-coming plus a cool party for the Dutch on the list.


ARTIST: SPEEDY J
TITLE: TANGA
LABEL: NOVAMUTE
FORMAT: 12"
CAT NO : 12NOMU105
RELEASE DATE: 12 MAY 2003

Speedy J, aka Jochem Paap, returns to our speakers with his first new
material since last year's 'Loudboxer' long-player and accompanying,
ear-splitting 'Krekc' single.

By the end of the last decade, like many explorers before, Speedy J was
faced with some tricky questions. He had navigated far beyond where others
had charted, and returned with a rich knowledge of the unknown. Making an
about-turn, he returned to almost where he had begun -  revisiting the stark
functionalism of dancefloor-orientated tunes, with a new found knowledge
garnered from his far reaching musical voyages - resulting in 'Loudboxer'.

It's 2003, and Speedy's back with some new ideas, and a new single - further
exploring sonic textures within the context of dancefloor dynamics.
As the names of the three tracks suggests, the single is based around the
idea of subtle differences - manifesting itself on record as emphasis on
different sounds. Indeed, like the titles, all three tracks are based around
common elements.

'Tannga' kicks things off, throwing down the gauntlet as a heavy kick drops
over a high-filtered, phasing drum pattern. It's recognisably a Speedy J
production in that there's an audible attention to detail. Layer after layer
is added, maintaining the linear flow - exploring variations on the same
ultra-4/4 rhythmic template - manipulating the listener with it's intricate
EQing. It's unarguably a tough record, yet it retains a definite depth
within this by contrasting textures.

'Taanga' starts where 'Tannga' left off, pretty literally, and builds
quickly - reaching a peak much quicker with some fiercely charging hi-hats.
The track rises and falls through degrees of driving energy - at times
reaching overload - rearing up into heights of distorted, echoed oblivion
before plunging back down into the locomotive momentum of the drums.

'Tangga' adopts an alternate approach - the rhythm seeping in gradually
through more overtly atmospheric sounds. There's less of a linear feel to
this track, with more of a lurching momentum, yet it's just as unrelenting.
At times, the track has a panting, out of breath feel - perhaps appropriate
after the previous onslaught. The rhythm is conveyed with a mixture of
analogue textures and flammed hi-hats, with more synth-based sounds in
evidence. This is all conveyed entirely without kickdrums, but possesses no
less of a charge.

Speedy J hosts a very special party on April 29th, in his hometown of
Rotterdam :

'Sweatboxer' will be "a club night, without trimmings and with special
attention to the things that matter: inspiring music, great venue and the
most important item: a 'no-compromise' sound system."

Over two rooms, music will be provided by: Chris Liebing, Speedy J (live),
Miss Kittin, T Raumschmiere (live), David Labeij, Arthur Baker, George
Issakidis_the republic of desire, Sutekh.

Lost are back on April 20, for their traditional Easter Sunday event -
surely as much a part of the Bank Holiday as eggs and bunnies.

Following a successful party on March 1st, which saw Jeff Mills and Steve
Bicknell tearing it up with extended sets in the Red room, while Mark and
Moritz from Berlin's Rhythm & Sound / Basic Channel crew dropped Dub 7s out
in the Blue area, Lost returns, in a new location, for an event which looks
sure to be a biggie - featuring a sprawling array of top-notch DJ talent.

Keeping the Red area in line will be Lost main-man, Steve Bicknell. This
date represents the conclusion of Steve's Cosmic Records European Tour. As
you'd expect, Mr Bicknell will be representing the sound of his Cosmic / ID
/ Lost Recordings labels, and no-doubt previewing some forthcoming material.

Hmmm. where to start with this next one? The beginning, perhaps - fitting,
as Juan Atkins was there. Cybertron, Model 500, Infiniti - Atkins has been
behind some of the most inspirational techno records ever. In fact, if the
story's true, it wouldn't even be called 'Techno' if it wasn't for him. He's
far from the only innovator playing tonight, though, as we will see below...

Robert Hood makes an exclusive London stop on his M-Plant 10th Anniversary
tour, bringing with him a load of rack-mounted studio gear and a 909, to put
his own unique stamp on things. There aren't many producers who can claim to
have invented a style of techno, and 10 years on, Rob's still leading the
way when it comes to stripped-down, linear funk.

Rounding up the red area guestlist is an old Lost favourite - Japan's Fumiya
Tanaka. Founder of Torema records and DJ of repute, Fumiya is currently on
the COSMIC tour with Steve Bicknell concluding with this event.

Headlining the Electricblue is Andrew Weatherall - a guy who's more than
paid his dues in the field of electronic music. Andrew will be leading the
charge in this area, with an electro set on the night.

Both Andrea Parker and Mark Broom span at Lost parties back in the day, and
tonight return, bringing extra electro ordinance to the Electricblue area.
Along with Weatherall and old hand, Kim Bilir, they'll be ensuring that the
room stays rocking throughout the night.

All-in-all, it's looking like being another great party!

Thanks for all your support - much appreciated! - See ya!

(313) new Dopplereffekt LP 'Linear Accelerator' on Gigolo

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

Had a chance to listen to this at the weekend. It just couldn't be further
from their previous stuff. If anyone heard the two tracks that were released
as a single (Myon-Neutrino and Z-Boson), well, they are easily the most
listenable of the six on there. It's like Kraftwerk's 'Radioactivity' LP
(the sleeve artwork as well as the music) put through a noise blender, and
frankly it was making my ears bleed. I just can't imagine ever voluntarily
listening to it again.

Anyone else heard it and want to comment?

MARTIN L. GORE
NEW SINGLE
'STARDUST' - Released on 14th April

Martin L. Gore, songwriter and one of the founder members of Depeche Mode,
is set to release a new single, 'Stardust', on Mute on the 14th of April.

'Stardust', a version of the David Essex classic, is the first single to be
lifted from his new album "Counterfeit2", the second in his counterfeit
cover version series, which is released on the 28th of April.

"Counterfeit2", like his first Counterfeit release in 1989, is a wildly
diverse and passionate collection that sees Gore radically rework tracks
originally made famous by the likes of Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Nick Cave And The
Bad Seeds, Kurt Weill, John Lennon, Brian Eno and David Essex.

CD copies of 'Stardust' come backed with Hank Thompson's 'I Cast A Lonesome
Shadow' and an exclusive version of Marc Bolan's 'Life Is Strange'. The 12"
and DVD feature additional mixes by Atom and Stewart Walker, while the DVD
will also feature exclusive footage of Martin Gore performing an acoustic

Subject: System moves on...


Due to ongoing difficulties at Propaganda, the promoters of System have
decided to finish their Thursday night sessions at the venue.

System was launched in September 2002 and has held host to some of the
world's best and most prolific DJs on the techno scene, including Adam
Beyer, Umek, Ben Sims, Trevor Rockcliffe, Marco Bailey, Christian Smith,
Billy Nasty, Stanny Franssen, Dave Clarke and residents Marco Carola, Mark
Broom and Terry Mitchell.

In a letter to System members, the promoters state the main reasons behind
their decision:

"We have listened to all of your comments on System over the last six months
and although most of the comments have been positive, the negative comments
have consistently been about the sound system and the security. We have
tried constantly to fix these problems but the management have broken
promise after promise to make the situation better and have left us no
choice but to leave Propaganda. We have had a lot of meetings with other
venues but with no luck, so for now we feel we have no other option but to
close.  However, we think London needs a weekly techno party and if we find
somewhere suitable we shall definitely be back."

Please note that System will therefore NOT be opening tomorrow (27 February)
for the Paul Mac album launch or for the foreseeable future.

...And now for the good news!

The promoters of System have just finished negotiations with an excellent,
brand new, central London venue for a new monthly party.  Details are
unavailable at this time but keep your eyes open because on Saturday 5th
April, System will be kicking off in a new format.

Thank you to everyone who made it down and to those that helped to publicise
the System nights.  I hope to have some updated news for you soon!

Bummer. Electro Empire is a great site and very useful resource. Many of the
sites I use the most are similar: run by fans for nothing more than the love
of the music and the desire to contribute something to it, such as
discogs.com, Amazing Discographies etc. It's one area where the net really
comes into its own. I hope EE is able to carry on in one form or another.

(313) Fw: Third Ear / Beatdown Update

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

More Beatdown in 2003

Third Ear follow their Detroit Beatdown Vol 1. double cd and triple vinyl,
with a slew of Beatdown releases in 2003.

The label will be launching two series of 12s in the coming months.

A 'Detroit Beatdown Sessions' series, featuring new and exclusive tracks by
artists on the Vol 1 compilation, kicks off with Mike 'Agent X' Clark's
'Motown' ep. 12s by Malik Alston, Rick Wilhite, Delano Smith, Darren Abrams,
and Norm Talley will follow.

The other series is the 'Detroit Beatdown Remixes' series of 12s. The first
12 features remixes from DB1 by Gilbr, Daz-I-Kue in Getto Swing mode, plus
Detroit remixes from Mike Huckaby and The Kuumba Project (Reggie Dokes and
Scott Ferguson). A double CD featuring all the remixes in the series will be
released at the end of the year.

(313) counting BPMs

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

I recently downloaded some shareware which lets you count the BPMs of a
track by tapping your keyboard in time with the music. This is fine as far
as it goes, but does anyone know of any software (excluding full-blown music
production/arrangement software packages) that allow BPM counting
automatically ie. counting the speed of whatever you pipe in through the
sound card? I assume that if hardware companies can make mixers that count
BPMs then there must be some software out there that can do the same, but
all I can find are key-tappers.

TOM

Re: (313) [313] just a quick question.

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

DJs, shops, distributors, journalists, live bookers etc etc etc. Many labels
add stickers to promos saying 'not for re-sale', but it's a pointless
endeavour: most inevitably get sold on for cash. Otherwise people would have
shelves of unwanted records sitting there going to waste.

(313) gassing on

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

from www.skrufff.com: 

Dave Clarke London Gig Disrupted by Tear Gas

Scores of clubbers were left coughing at last night's System event at
Propaganda, after a CS gas type substance percolated through the central
London club.

The incident happened around 11.30 pm as the techno weekly filled up
with revellers arriving  for Dave Clarke's first London DJ set of the
year and led to a 20 minute break in music as security opened fire doors
to ventilate the premises and search for the source of the choking
fumes.

The first sign of something wrong came as numerous clubbers in the bar
area began coughing, though nobody appeared to be seriously adversely
affected throughout the entire period. Music was subsequently restored
and though some people left following the incident, a packed still
enthusiastic crowd heard Clarke playing a largely old techno school set.

(313) Suburban Knight

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

Here's the detail on that new album I mentioned recently:

Artist: Suburban Knight
Cat Number: PFG025 / PFG025CD
Title: My Sol Dark Direction
Barcode:  2LP - 505029413411-5
CD - 505029413422-1
Release date: 28th April 2003

Track listing:
Shape Shifter
Collaboration Alfa
Midnight Sunshine
True To The Game
Roundtable Chronicles
Art Of Stalking
Niagra Falls
Nocturbulus Behaviour

· The first ever full-length album from one of Detroit's most respected
techno producers.
· Suburban Knight has recorded for the worlds top two techno imprints -
Derrick May's Transmat & Mike Banks' Underground Resistance.
· Includes classic tracks never before released on CD.
· Suburban Knight will be touring at a club near you soon.

Peacefrog proudly present the first ever artist album from one of
Underground Resistance's most consistent & sought after foot soldiers. James
Pennington AKA the Suburban Knight has been heavily involved in the roots of
Detroit's most influential export since it's conception in the eighties.

Part of Kevin Saunderson's 'Inner City' when they had their two biggest hits
'Big Fun' & 'Good Life' James went on to record two classics for Derrick May
's fledgling Transmat label - 'The Groove' & 'Art Of Stalking'.

James' penchant for making dark & melodic techno soon lead him to the
infamous doors of Mike Banks & Jeff Mills' UR collective, where he was to
have arguably his biggest hit to date 'Nocturbulas Behaviour'. Since these
early days his releases have been less frequent than many of his peers, but
always timeless & crucial. 'My Sol Dark Direction' is an accumulation of 17
years worth of contributions to the world of dance music. A masterpiece of
house, techno & electronics, featuring time honoured classics  & new
flawless productions. This is a must for anyone with the slightest interest
in dance music, an "essential lesson" in the history of house.

(313) Fw: CABARET VOLTAIRE - Ltd Edition 12" - Out 17th March 2003

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

CABARET VOLTAIRE
'Nag Nag Nag' Richard H Kirk Mixes
Release Date: 17th March 2003

The Grey Area of Mute are set to release four brand new mixes of the Cabaret
Voltaire classic 'Nag Nag Nag' by Cabs founder member Richard H Kirk on the
17th of March.

Released on Special Limited Edition 12" vinyl only, the new mixes were
inspired by novamute's 2002 re-release of 'Nag Nag Nag', with remixes by
Akufen and Tiga & Zyntherius. Originally Richard decided to tinker with the
track for his own personal use, but was persuaded to include his # 4 mix on
the release last year. He has now allowed The Grey Area of Mute to release a
strictly limited edition 12" of all the mixes.

This is the first in a series of Cabaret Voltaire releases on Mute's Grey
Area and novamute labels throughout 2003. Forthcoming releases include:

A remix 12" of 'Yashar', with mixes by All Seeing I and Alter Ego, due for
release on novamute on the 5th of May.

A box set of rare and unreleased material "Methodology - The Attic Tapes
(1974-1978)" will be released on May 19th.

A DVD "Double Vision Presents Cabaret Voltaire" will be released on the 9th
of June.

(313) Fw: Novamute Gives A Nod To The Future

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

ARTIST: VARIOUS ARTISTS
TITLE:  2CDs & MP3s
LABEL: NOVAMUTE
FORMAT: 2 x CD
CAT NO : NOMU117CD
RELEASE DATE: APRIL 7 2003

THIS IS A 2xCD COLLECTION FEATURING 16 TRACKS
(MANY PREVIOUSLY UNAVAILABLE ON CD) PLUS 28xMP3 FILES

More than any other, the ever-broadening genre we know as Techno is
synonymous with technology and innovation, both conceptually and in method.
>From the early days of Kraftwerk or and the unabashed Futurism of early
Detroit techno, such advancement has been present within the the very fabric
of the music. In their times, the pioneers of this music were visionaries -
inspired and driven by their imagination, they would translate this into
sonics through whatever means were at their disposal - working with whatever
technology was available to them at the time.

In recent years, we have been witnessing the control of music and technology
passing from the hands of the few to the de-centralised many. One facet of
this phenomena has been the breakthroughs in digital and compressed music
technology - most notably the development of the MP3 format.

One of the most interesting applications of this technology has occurred
within the context of DJ mixing. Enabled by software and hardware developers
such as N2IT / Stanton and Native Instruments, who are responsible for the
revolutionary Final Scratch and Traktor systems, respectively, the
implications for the future of DJing are very exciting.

It is in acknowledgement of this explosion of new possibilities that
novamute has opted to release this compilation. It is becoming all the more
common for DJs to actually request promos of new material in MP3 format -
removing the need to encode tracks from traditional media.

"2CDs & MP3s" features many tracks previously available as 12" only
releases: Speedy J, Debasser, Tim Wright, Needledust!, Nitzer Ebb, Umek,
Earnest Honest, some exclusives, including Luke Slater ('on loan' from Mute)
"Nothing At All" Console remix, Si Begg's 'Eurostar' remix, plus Thomas
Brinkmann's astounding Echoboy remix, which received only limited
availability. In addition, Plastikman's 'Afrika' rarity and Akufen's
incredible Cabaret Voltaire "Nag Nag Nag' remix and new Novamute signing,
Berlin's own T. Raumschmiere.

In addition to the 16 audio tracks are 28 mp3 files including extra b-sides
and alternative mixes, especially included for those DJ's, musicians and
producers currently using the myriad of software music packages available.

Fresh and re-energised from the storming 'Awa-Awa-Adee' party on the 27th of
December, Lost return in more 'conventional' format for their next party on
the 1st of March.

The post-Xmas disco / funk / soul throwdown saw old Lost-friends - Jeff
Mills and Luke Slater - join Steve Bicknell to present a rootsy selection of
retro classics. There will be more parties under this banner in the future,
so keep your ear to the ground.

Jeff Mills returns for the first Lost event of 2003. The club worked closely
with Jeff throughout 2002, presenting some rather special sets from him,
including September's multimedia DJ performance, in which he and Steve
opened the evening with interactive visual soundscapes, before rocking the
party with some more dancefloor-orientated sounds.

The next party will see Mr. Mills back for a longer set in the Red area - in
more slammin' mode. This is an exclusive London date, and the last on Jeff's
current 'Medium' tour. Bank your money on hearing some of the best techno
and house on the planet. Surely you don't need to be told how good this man
is at the turntables. BELIEVE.

He'll be joined in the Red area by Lost-honcho, Steve Bicknell. Aside from
putting on some of the finest techno events in London (/ U.K. / The World)
for over 10 years now, Steve has a proven track record in both the studio
and as a DJ of Worldwide repute.

In the Blue area, Lost welcomes some very special guests from Berlin. Mark
Ernestus and Moritz Von Oswald are two of the most revered figures in
electronic music, having cast vast influence with their densely-textured,
dubby template, on their stable of labels - Basic Channel, Chain Reaction, M
and Burial Mix - home to the pair's many aliases.
Mark and Moritz cemented their place in Lost's history years ago by
performing a legendary live set as Basic Channel, alongside Jeff Mills -
this being their only ever  live UK appearance.

Reggae and, more specifically, Dub, is the common theme in the duo's work
and, in recent years, this has manifested itself more overtly, with the
Rhythm & Sound project on their Burial Mix imprint. It is under this banner
that they will be appearing at Lost - hosting their own room, and presenting
a special reggae / dub selection.
In this, they will be ably assisted by Mark, from West London's Honest Jon's
record shop.

Thanks for all your support - much appreciated! - See ya!

(313) Fw: GD LUXXE opens the '21st Door'

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

ARTIST: GD LUXXE
TITLE: THE 21ST DOOR
LABEL: INTERDIMENSIONAL
TRANSMISSIONS
FORMAT: CD
RELEASE DATE: 24 MARCH 2003

Finding inspiration from the darker side of electronic music of all eras,
Gerhard Potuznik has put together a ground breaking album entitled the
21st Door for Ectomorph's Interdimmensional Transmissions.

Gerhard Potuznik began making music in Vienna in the early 80s, initially
as a guitarist. A staunch fan of all things dark and quirky, Gerhard is
perhaps the hardest working man in electronic music. From production to
songwriting to releasing his music in multiple genres in many countries,
this man does it all. With an unfathomable amount of material already
released (including his productions with Pulsinger & Tunakan on Cheap as
iO, and his production work for Chicks on Speed) it is his G D Luxxe
project that is his strongest. With releases as G D Luxxe on Ersatz Audio,
Breakin, and Suction, he is dedicated to taking his quality music to as
many worthy outlets as possible, but his Factory obsessed full length for
IT is a totally different story. Herein we find him exploring his
obsessions while crossing so many boundaries: rock (a cover of T Rex
included), IDM, EBM, Italian Disco broken English, electro, techno and
beyond. This is fresh music from a true innovator. This is a record sure
to cross boundaries and turn heads.

In an era of fast food music, IT bring you nutrition. IT is a label that
doesn't just release records, it releases milestones, from the visionary
>From Beyond series that debuted I-f's "Space Invaders" to the world, to
the early Ectomorph relics that still set the standard. In 2003, IT is
taking a new approach by releasing numerous albums, three amazing full
lengths from 3 leaders of their sounds. Coming soon from the label is an
EP from newly signed Perspects, "The Third and Final Report" (IT 19) due
out as you read this and coming later this year is a remix 12" and his debut
full length. This year will also see the Ectomorph album (IT 18) and world
tour. 2003 marks the new beginning of Interdimensional Transmissions. Enter
it via the 21st Door.

(313) Octave One at fabric

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

I just got a mail through announcing that Octave One will play live in the
main room at fabric, London on Sat 1st Feb from 2-3am. Apparently they have
a new album called 'The Theory Of Everything' coming up and will be
previewing material from it on the night. Also, Fabric have Francois K (6hrs
set), The Youngsters live and 313's own Fabrice Lig this Saturday, I think.
I went to the club for the first time (!) on Friday and was very impressed:
great sound system and a really good space. I know some people on the list
aren't that keen on the place but I can imagine Octave One will go right off
there.

house has kept him at the forefront for over 15 years, Colin is the true
soul of the London techno scene.

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

Ha! I love daft DJ names, and people remember them more too. In fact, it's
club policy wherever possible: there's this local DJ we wanted to book but
we told him we wouldn't until he'd come up with a suitably daft name.

Mmm, this looks good...

ARTIST: THE HACKER
TITLE:  THE NEXT STEP OF NEW WAVE
LABEL: UWe
DISTRIBUTION: PINNACLE
FORMAT: CD
RELEASE DATE: 10 MARCH 2003
CAT NO : HUMAN-06

 Michel Amato, AKA The Hacker, has seen his profile rise considerably in the
last few years. The Gigolo phenomenon, and Michel's collaborative work with
Miss Kittin (resulting in their 'The First Album' long player), helped boost
interest in his work and thrust him into his current position as one of
France's hottest talents.

Less known, however, is Michel's work aside to the Gigolo tie-in. Amato
co-runs the Goodlife imprint along with two colleagues from the Grenoble
(his home town) techno scene - one of whom is Oliver from techno-duo, Oxia,
whose work also features heavily in the Goodlife catalogue.

Whilst The Hacker's love of 80's style electronic music is obviously
apparent in his production work, many of his more 4/4 influences have been
ignored in the hype surrounding his Gigolo releases, though they are
apparent to anyone who has checked his work on other labels.  It is
certainly Michel's intention to ensure that people realise that there are
many strings to his bow, and one way he puts this across is through his
DJing.

Like Miss Kittin, The Hacker is also a talented DJ, although his work in
this field has been more prominent in mainland Europe. However, his deck
skills have had years to develop, and this facet of The Hacker's career
should not be viewed as a mere backup to his studio work.

'The Next Step Of New Wave' is The Hacker's first commercially available mix
CD. As the title suggests, its Michel's take on the future of electro - a
genre which has displayed strong staying power over the years - always there
in the background, until last year, when all eyes seemed to be turning it's
way.

Michel's position as a forerunner in this form of music enables him to
select knowledgeably from the growing number of producers in the field -
resulting in a varied, forward-facing collection of tracks. Amato's
presentation of tracks in the mix highlights his professional touch - the
tracks themselves remain the focus of the exercise, while the overall flow
is tight and energetic.

BILLY NASTY (TORTURED RECORDS)

Billy Nasty has been DJing half his life.  Travelling the world as one of
the most in-demand DJs on the circuit, he's taken in some of the biggest
dance events and famous venues across the globe and has consistently
featured in the upper regions of DJ Magazine's "Top 100 DJs" Poll.  He has
enjoyed an extensive recording career, formed 2 labels: Tortured and
Electrix and set up the Theremin DJ Agency which helped to bring names like
Adam Beyer, Marco Carola and Umek into the limelight.


16 JANUARY
Residents MARK BROOM and TERRY MITCHELL with guest
K. ALEXI (312 RECORDINGS/ CHICAGO)

DJ and producer K. Alexi is one of Chicago's unsung heroes and cited by many
as a pioneer of the city's sound. K's first pressing 'Essence of a Dream' is
still regarded as a classic today and with a tally of successful hit
records, remixing and collaborating with other artists resulted in his
talents being sought by a diverse range of artists like The Pet Shop Boys,
Derrick May, Paul Johnson, Mr Lee (who produces for R Kelly), Larry Heard &
Robert Owens, Dave Angel, Felix Da Housecat and Will Smith. Just as
notorious for his DJing ability Mr Alexi has played at just about every
exotic location imaginable as well as here in the UK, his smooth blend of
techno, house, disco and soul never fails to excite and win over the crowd.
With K's ability to produce quality tunes consistently it was high time he
pooled all his know-how and enthusiasm for the forming of his new record
labels. The two labels' have been branded '312' after Chicago's telephone
area code and 'Track Bandits'

Re: (313) New Beat/Saunderson etc

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

> I have the particular record on Speed recs. and it's pretty much the same
as Saunderson's original (his name appears in the credits). Altough they
might have slowed it down a bit slower for that typical New Beat- beat. :)

The interesting thing is that Saunderson was apparently a fan of the New
Beat sound, so maybe he liked the fact that they did his track?

Also listed in the early R&S discog is 'Baby Wants To Ride' by B-Art (who
were they, anyway?) - seems the odd cover of US house/techno/acid was quite
acceptable there then.

TOM

(313) New Beat/Saunderson etc

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

I'm currently researching an article on the Belgian New Beat scene and I
found a listing for a 1988 cover of Reese & Santonio's 'Rock To The Beat' on
Speed Recs with vocals credited to Jade4U and Nicky Trax. Anyone heard this?
What's it like?

Also, anyone remember what R&S was called before it became R&S? The first
five records (by Code 61 and B-Art) listed in the discography on Amazing
Discogs have the catalogue numbers LCE001-5.

Come to think of it, if there are any New Beat experts on the list, I'd love
to hear from you.

Re: (313) books on techno: more brilliant than the sun

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

> But if you're willing to follow along, and excuse the sometimes excessive
dips into self-created jargon, he has some interesting ideas.  No digging
for a needle in a haystack -- they're good, fairly big ideas.  But they sit
alongside the specialized terms he invents, and you just have to be willing
to accept that he uses his own ridiculous shorthand for things.  Often, I
don't like his terms, or his willingness to invent dozens of terms that
don't really hold water, but I do like some of his ideas.

I think Kodwo's invention of his 'own' language was half the reason for the
book; he was frustrated with the usual adjectives and terms of reference
that are used to with regard to music. This does make the book a fairly
difficult read, but I think he deserves admiration for 'thinking outside the
box' in this way.

I do think he does tend to embrace some music that isn't really as deserving
of the serious analysis he gives it as he thinks, though - but then no doubt
he (and other!) would say the say same about me and every other music hack
out there!

(313) Fw: TERENCE FIXMER presents AKTION MEKANIK

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

ARTIST: VARIOUS
COMPILED BY: TERENCE FIXMER
TITLE: AKTION MEKANIK
LABEL: MUSIC MAN
FORMAT: CD / 2 X 12
CAT NO: MMCD 021
RELEASE DATE: 17 JANUARY 2002

Featuring classic 'EBM' (electronic body music) and Nu-Beat tracks from
Nitzer Ebb, The Normal, Fad Gadget, Front 242, Crash Course In Science,
Skinny Puppy, DAF, Liaisons Dangereuses and a new exclusive track from
compiler (and Gigolo) Terence Fixmer, Aktion Mekanik brings together long
lost/forgotten classics from the 80's Belgian Nu-Beat scene, whilst
highlighting their influence on modern electronic composition.

With tracks such as The Normal's 'Warm Leatherette' being covered by Chicks
On Speed or bootlegged by Richard X and DJ Hell covering No More's 'Suicide
Commando' and making the second half of his recent
'Electronicbody-housemusic' mix CD a homage to old and new versions of
'EBM', 'Aktion Mekanik' is a timely reminder of how we used to play.

One such current producer who certainly used to play is Planete Rouge man,
Terence Fixmer who has been fusing EBM with modern techno ever since
'Electrostatic' launched his life as a Gigolo in the late 90s. Born in
Lille, on the Northern borders of Belgium it was at the tender age of 15
that Fixmer fell headfirst into the burgeoning EBM scene just across the
border, where himself and fellow friends at Ghent's Music Man label
fanatically followed bands such as Front 242, Klinik, DAF and Nitzer Ebb and
frequented Belgian clubs such as Boccaccio and Skyline.

"I made this compilation as a personal journey and to remember the well
respected electronic artists which are in someway our modern techno
forefathers," states Fixmer. "I made it just because this is the music of my
heart and nothing to do with any 80s trend."

With Fixmer having recently remixed Nitzer Ebb's classic 'Join In The Chant'
for Novamute and now currently working with their singer Douglas MacCarthy
on a new project, Aktion Mekanik neatly brings his EBM adventure full
circle. Furthermore, look out next year for Crash Course In Science's never
before released only album from the early 80's vaults set for a debut airing
on Music Man some 20 years later.!

Terence Fixmer plays live at ElectrooVoodoo, Liverpool on December 13th.
More info: www.terencefixmer.com

Nitzer Ebb - Warsaw Ghetto
Nitzer Ebb, (strongly influenced  by DAF) were, alongside  Front 242, at the
forefront of the EBM sound in the late 80s, with classics like "Let Your
Body Learn" & "Join in The Chant". Warsaw Ghetto, taken from their second
twelve inch (1985) is a more obscure track by them.

Crash Course In Science - Cardboard Lamb
Hailing all the way from Philadelphia, CCIS, only released one twelve inch
from which this track is taken! Numerous covers have followed (check Pete
Tong's essential anthem BUCCIBAG), but here in it's original glory.

No More - Suicide Commando
Indie Classic from 1981, got remixed by DJ Hell & Echopark in 1998 as a
taster for Hell's Munich Machine album.

The Normal - Warm Leatherette
Daniel Miller's classic, Mute records first releaseIt was in l978, right
after Punk had started. The music at the time was quite unusual -- apart
from a few groups like Kraftwerk.

Fad Gadget - Coïtus Interruptus
Taken from Fad Gadget's first album Fireside Favourites, this sets a
benchmark for further Fad Gadget anthems like Ladyshave & Collapsing New
People!

The Klinik - Hours + Hours
Belgian electronic duo THE KLINIK started out in 1984, focusing  their early
efforts on the international home-taping circuit.But through their releases
and remarkable live-gigs, which blend their haunting music with splendid and
intriguing video footage, the twosome (Dirk IVENS - Voices and Marc
VERHAEGHEN - Electronics) gradually built up a steady following and a
reputation that stretched beyond the confinement of the "Living room"
studio. Hours + Hours is taken from their first album Sabotage (1985).

Daf - Verschwende Deine Junged
The core of DAF are Gabi Delgado-Lopez and Robert Gorl. They met in
Dusseldorf during the punk movement in 1977 whilst  Gabi was singing in
local punk bands and Robert finishing his formal musical training. They went
on to release seminal tracks like Der Mussolini & Brothers... This track is
taken from the 1981 album Gold Und Liebe.

The Invincible Limit - Push!
First there was Invisible Limits as a band, Thomas Lüdke being a member,
programming the sequences to such classics as "Love is a Kind of  Mystery"
and "Devil Dance". Thomas then left, chose Invincible Limit as his new solo
project,  and made Push in 1986 (Last Chance Records).

Crash Course In Science - Flying Turns
Hailing all the way from Philadelphia, CCIS, only released one twelve inch
from which this track is taken! The flip from the one previously  mentioned.

Liaisons Dangereuses - Mystere Dans Le Brouillard
Founded by Beate Bartel & Chris Haas in 1981, releasing  onlycassettes ...
this track was taken from a 7inch single released on Mute records in 1982 as
a b-side from the also seminal

For the next LOST event, Robert Hood, Fumiya Tanaka and K. Alexi will join
Steve Bicknell - offering a funk-fuelled feast of vibrant rhythms. As always
in the red area, Steve Bicknell, who's acclaimed productions and DJ sets
define the LOST sound, has tied the parties together since the clubs
inception with his blend of densely textured techno and house.

Latterly of M Plant, formerly involved with Underground Resistance and Axis,
responsible for seminal techno classic 'Minimal Nation' amongst many others,
Rob Hood made his UK DJ debut at LOST. His sets hold magnificent memories
for us, and this semi-live performance looks set to continue this trend.
Robert will be delivering the goods in his own inimitable style and placing
his sonic stamp firmly on the proceedings.

Yes - he can't keep away and we wouldn't want him to. Hot on the heels of
his last LOST set in August, Fumiya Tanaka is back. Tanaka is an excellent
DJ, with a vast production catalogue, including work on his own Torema
label, Tresor and LOST Recordings.

We're happy to welcome old school master, K.Alexi, to LOST - playing his
first set for us. and his second! K. Alexi is a man with a history, who's
past classics such as 'Club MCM' (Rhythm Beat/DJ International), 'My Medusa'
and 'All for Lee-sah' (Transmat) influenced the next generation.
Kaay will be presenting sets in both the red experimental techno area and
the blue house room.

Kim Bilir will be represented in the blue, alongside Mario and the
aforementioned K. Alexi.

The silent space features the Kim Bilir 'Inside the White Cube' installation
(courtesy of S.Rashit) - incorporating the abstraction of colour, this is
part of an evolving project which will occasionally feature in the LOST
silent space when it isn't located in situ.

Thanks for all your support - much appreciated! - See ya!


OUT NOW on ID(entity) - COSID009 - Katino II - Phase.

(313) Fw: Perspects Review Copies *AMENDED*

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

ARTIST: PERSPECTS
TITLE: THE THIRD AND FINAL REPORT
LABEL: INTERDIMENSIONAL
TRANSMISSIONS
FORMAT: 12" VINYL
RELEASE DATE: 13 JANUARY 2003

IT continues its journey into indivualistic and adventurous electronic
music, creating the standards of the future. IT 19 finds Ian Clark in his
debut appearance on Interdimensional Transmissions. Ian co-founded Le Car
and helped bring new obsessions to Detroit Electro, influencing all that
come after. After forming Perspects and releasing music on Ersatz Audio and
Clone as well his submission for Disco Nouveau, Ian finally goes solo and is
his own voice. The result? Devastation.  Perspects' best record to date.
'The Third and Final Report' includes the soon to be classic 'Accumulators'.
Full Length & Rmx 12 due in 2003.

In his own words:

Air of Finality:
The rocker. Out of a menacing, restarting intro emerge goosestepping synths
and bullhorn voices to set the paranoid tone of the release. An analysis of
mass quiet panic set to sleazy, eighth-note punch & crunch.

Comfort Gained:
My current favourite. Sparse, eerie synths and claustrophobic vocals record
the final moments of a modern man as he decides to capitalize on the
acceptance of his fate.

Gimme Panic:
Just what it says - Doomsday disco that suggests a human stampede, and other
chaotic descents.

The Accumulators:
The popsong. The line: "we're accumulating" refers to both consumers losing
control and corpses piling up. Subtle differences in the two verses create a
cause/effect dialogue that supports this. You can dance to it too.

Statement concerning the Third and Final Report of Perspects:

In 'Desire and Efficiency' the warnings were there. It was the soundtrack to
our surrender to the uncertain velocities. The point where vigilance falls
victim to comfort and the surface suddenly seems more real.
Hoverculture was inevitable. Total seduction by surface. Songs became empty
signifiers efficiently packaged for consumption. Anaesthetic and
disassociative, it hadn't entirely worn off when the panic hit.
Now the powermad have seized control and are steering us into a crash. Now
we are taking hits to the fragile framework of finance and energy that
sustains us. Never have we been more aware of our mortality than right now.
This is why the Third and Final Report is necessary.

I.T. is a label that doesn't just release records, it releases milestones -
from the 'Visionary From Beyond' series that debuted I-F's 'Space Invaders'
to the world, to the early Ectomorph relics that still set the standard.
Coming soon from the label are full lengths from G.D Luxxe (IT 16) and
Ectomorph (IT 18).

Perspects: Shouldn't you be paying attention?

(313) Fw: ECTOMORPH DROP DADA ON I.T.

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

I'm sure BMG would be too polite to post this to the list himself...

ARTIST: ECTOMORPH
TITLE: DADA / RITMO SINIESTRO
LABEL: INTERDIMENSIONAL
TRANSMISSIONS
FORMAT: 12" VINYL
RELEASE DATE: 23 DECEMBER 2002

<<>>

A. Dada
Voice as synthesis. There is nothing that matters except what you feel. Raw
dog psychick power.

B. Ritmo Siniestro
A long-distance collaboration with master percussionists from Puerto Rico,
yielding a new form of percussion freak out.

In an era of fast food music, we bring you nutrition. At long last, it
continues its relaunch with the next release in the I.T. future 2002 series:
a fresh new statement from Ectomorph, long time leaders in their now
over-hyped genre.

Culled from their forthcoming full-length album, this 12" showcases rare
concepts in electro these days: originality and new directions. This is
organic electronic music, hand made from the finest synthetics.

Ectomorph have materialized in many forms since their 1995 debut release on
I.T., and continue to document these progressions with their latest 12,
Dada. Ectomorph exist as an amplified I.D. with the goal of conjuring pure
forms of rhythm and sound. They have long functioned as a collective with
ever-changing members and nameless contributors revolving around main
conduit Brendan M Gillen.

The group has developed a new approach to sound by delivering unique
in-the-moment live performances, often with additional avant-theatre The
frequency of these performances has created a fluid communication of
structure and improvisation, based around the core nucleus of BMG & Erika.
After years of performing live together, the sound of Ectomorph's recorded
work finally matches the fluidity of their live performances.

I.T. is a label that doesn't just release records, it releases milestones -
from the 'Visionary From Beyond' series that debuted I-F's 'Space Invaders'
to the world, to the early Ectomorph relics that still set the standard.
Coming soon from the label is an EP from newly signed Perspects, 'The Third
and Final Report' (IT 19), along with full lengths from G.D Luxxe (IT 16)
and Ectomorph (IT 18). This 12" marks the beginning of a new attention to
detail in the quality of production and mastering, and the start of a new
look for Interdimensional Transmissions.

(313) Fw: DEDBEAT 3 POSTPONED UNTIL 28TH FEB

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

DEDBEAT 3
Pontin's Holiday Village
Hemsby
Norfolk
http://www.dedbeat.net

DEDBEAT NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT:

DEDBEAT 3 POSTPONED TO 28TH FEBRUARY

Dedbeat HQ:

We have decided to postpone the date of Dedbeat from the scheduled 8-9-10th
of November until the 28-1-2 of Feb/March. Please do not worry as this is
not a massive problem when you consider the alternative. We sincerely
apologise for the disruption that this may cause, especially to those who
booked up early. However if we pursue the original date it could result in
problems that would mean the end of Dedbeat. We could give you some BS
excuse or proceed and deliver an event that is not up to our high standard,
but we are not about taking the easy way out when quality is concerned.
Concerts get postponed, tours get postponed, this really isn't the end of
the world. It's still on. It's still going to be a banger!

Feedback has been very positive for the planned date, however the consensus
is that this is a financially tight time of year following the summer and
the run up to Christmas. The general opinion is that the event would be
better suited to the start of the next year as the winter pick up it has
come to be known as. Indeed a large majority have assumed that we were
planning a February Dedbeat all the same. The venue, the ethos and the line
up will remain in effect exactly the same. Any alterations will be
adequately compensated.

There will be no Skam Records (Please note we will be doing future events
with Skam 'coz they're top blokes). In their place will be:

Super_Collider - live (Feat: Christain Vogel, Jamie Liddell & Mat Yeeking
Cassette Boy (Barry's Bootlegs) - live
Haywire will be in full effect - line up to follow very shortly; expect rude
bass badness!

Toytronics Records Feat:
Digitonal - live
Multiplex - live
& CiM - live

Please keep perspective on the issue - THIS EVENT HAS NOT BEEN CANCELLED -
THE DATE HAS SIMPLY BEEN CHANGED. If you are concerned about the chill
factor checkout the cosy brick chalets you'll be frequenting
http://www.pontins.com/pontins-hemsby.htm.Trailer trash is now a thing of
the past. To emphasise again this measure is a positive action to ensure
that this event can run long into the future and be as good a party as
possible. We have sold 70% of the tickets available (if you think we are
telling porkies ask Pontins). If you have already purchased tickets they are
now valid for the new date in February 2003, however if you would like a
refund then this is fine. The same applies for coach tickets. The remaining
tickets are still on sale for this new date. If you have already purchased
Rail, Coach or Air tickets and will incur a charge to change the date then
we will reimburse you the amount charged.

If you have any questions then please call us on 0870 1611 626.  We are a
small independent organisation and we rely on your support. We will not
compromise our integrity; we'll do things the straight up way and tell it
like it is. Having said all that the most important statement we'd like to
convey is:
"The show will go on.just a little later!"

Dedbeat

For up to date info on these changes see www.dedbeat.net

(313) Nottingham party tonight

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

Just in case anyone on this list will be in or around Nottingham tonight,
I'm doing a party down at The Edge club on Lower Parliament St. All local

For the rest of you, apologies for the spam.

Re: (313) Mailing lists?

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

Basically, the only sure way to do this is to get yourself into a position
where labels WANT you to play/hear their stuff. This means a) becoming an
internationally-known 'name' DJ, b) reviewing for a magazine etc, or c)
having your own radio show or something like that.

The problem is basically that there are millions of DJsout there and
independent labels only have limited resources. For example, a small techno
label might sendout just fifty promo copies, and in that position, they're
inevitably going to target the big names, as they want the 'prestige' of a
name DJ playing their tracks. Someone like Jeff Mills will have every label
under the sun sending him their recordson the off-chance that he might like
just one of them, because they know that if people hear Jeff play a track
people are much more likely to go and try and find it and also because they
can then make a fuss about it on their promotional material. The irony is
that while well-known DJs (who often make more than enough to be able to buy
a ton of records a week) are deluged with free music, it's often pretty
difficult to get a reaction from them, while the lesser-known DJ who will
always send them reactions, usually has to go and buy his vinyl.

That doesn't mean it isn't worth trying, however. You need to send labels
you like and DJ promo companies your details, preferably accompanied with
some kind of proof of the fact that you are playing out regularly. Then if
you get sent stuff you need to make sure you send back prompt, honest
reactions to *everything* they send you, otherwise they'll whip you off
their list again. No label wants to feel they're sending stuff into the
void, as it were. Ultimately they WILL value your feedback.

Oh, and often DJs who also run labels will bring a couple of extra copies of
their latest release along to give to residents at their guest spots. But
that's obviously not something you can count on.

Incidentally, this is just the kind of thing that's in the 'How To DJ
(Properly)' book that has also just come up on 313.

Cheers,
TOM

Re: (313) Essential reading...

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

I've got a copy and it's a good book. Yeah, much of it will be
obvious/familiar to anyone who'd been DJing a while, but then there are
plenty of things in there you won't have thought of too, and let's face it,
there are loads of aspiring DJs out there who need a book just like this.
The authors are very much concerned with promoting DJing as an extension of
a love of music and not a career path. They just recognise that a lot of
people start for the *wrong* reasons and need some pointers. Trust me, it's
worth reading. The authors know their onions (even if they are Dad house
mafiosa :-).

(313) Fw: THE COSMIC MEMOIRS OF THE LATE GREAT RUPERT J. ROSINTHROPE

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

ARTIST: SHIFTED PHASES
TITLE: THE COSMIC MEMOIRS OF THE LATE GREAT RUPERT J. ROSINTHROPE
LABEL: TRESOR
CAT. NO: 56196-2/6
DISTRIBUTION: SRD
RELEASE: 16 DECEMBER 2002

The mysterious new project born from Drexciyan parents is here.

Entitled "Shifted Phases", this new generation Techno-Electro hybrid was
created in turbulent seas here on Earth, but evolved and mutated out in deep
space among the stars. Shifted Phases documents the cosmic life and times of
Rupert J. Rosinthrope; combining Detroit Electro, Techno and Freak-Jazz
signals in deeply moving space-speak...

While Shifted Phases is purely Drexciyan, tracks like "Solar Wind" and "The
Freak Show" illustrate the harder sides of the solar system - tough and
dancey while "Waveform Cascades", "Dance of the Celestial Druids" and
"Scattering Pulsars" lean towards quirked electro.

The elusive Mr. Rosinthrope chose his Detroit biographers wisely - the deep
message is well understood.

CD TRACKLIST:

01. Solar Wind (6:21)
02. White Dwarf (3:43)
03. Waveform Cascades (4:26)

(313) Fw: ESKIMO presents SERIE NOIRE

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

2nd attempt...

ARTIST: VARIOUS
TITLE: ESKIMO presents SERIE NOIRE
COMPILED BY: MO, BENOELIE & DIRK FOR ESKIMO SOUND SYSTEM
LABEL: ESKIMO RECORDS
FORMAT: CD (mixed) & DOUBLE VINYL (unmixed)
RELEASE DATE: 16 DECEMBER 2002
CAT NO: 541416 500874 (CD) / 541416 500875 (2LP)

Série Noire, is a collection of groundbreaking electronic dance music from
the (recent) past which aims to reinstate the value of long-lost dance
collectives, producers and bands who once (or repeatedly) hit the mark and
proved to be hugely influential for generations to come. These torchbearers
never set the charts alight, nor were they backed by big record companies
(or for that matter, endorsed by fizzy soda drinks). But their output is
still revered by both adventurous DJs and and well informed punters.

Sometimes, visiting the past makes the future a little clearer. It's no
coincidence many contemporary alchemists of sound are now harking back to
the era when electronic music was at its primal stage. Two decades ago,
synthesisers, beat boxes and samplers were the domain of freaky fanatics and
world-weary outcasts who would lose sleep over crossing the right wires,
pushing the appropriate buttons and distilling emotions from stark hardware
and volatile electricity. In those days, electronica was not an option, it
was a statement, a declaration of independence and intent. Little wonder the
world back then was not yet ready for the uncompromising sounds of the
loosely assembled avant-garde of dark pop.

Culled from different time zones and non-aligned scenes, the Série
Noire-tracks all have a similar brooding, ominous feeling about them, a fact
that's got more to do with the artists' vision and mindset than the kind of
record label they chose to release their songs on. The bulk of these tracks
were recorded at a time when people didn't yet need a brick-heavy directory
to catalogue all the different dance genres that are around today.
Electronic music was still made in a special kind of splendid isolation, far
away from the mainstream. Shying away from disco's all too obvious hedonism
or industrial's blatant body politics, underground dance from the early
eighties in particular excelled in creating music that perfectly
encapsulated both feelings of tension and release. Fusing cold Kraftwerkian
robotic beats with primitive funk, or pasting sinewy squelches onto
calculated rhythm patterns, a batch of wayward musicians devised the kind of
music that felt strangely detached but couldn't help but get under the skin.
Belgian New Beat took this approach to the extreme: snarling, seductive and
above all tantalisingly slow, it may still be the only dance genre in the
book that manages to sound neutered and devilishly sexy at the same time.

The cuts compiled here on Série Noire were never intended as incrowd
anti-art or some kind of aural poetry. They were created to dance to, and
not much else. And so the clubheads did, although only a very specific breed
of clubhead. While the rest of the population grooved away on popular Top
30-tunes, the kids of Dark Pop and New Beat hid away in derelict disco's and
disused warehouses. In Belgium, places like Ghent's Boccaccio and Antwerp's
AB gave shelter to a crowd craving for more than a status-quo. Highly
individual, proudly nonconformist and dressed to impress, those figureheads
of youth gladly gave in to the otherworldly, droning sound, reflecting as it
did both their sophistication and their dissatisfaction. It wasn't just a
local thing: everywhere in Europe a movement took shape, only to make way,
years later, for house, techno, MTV and mobile phones.

Still, it's rewarding, nay, elementary to look back to those missing links
of electronic dance music. It doesn't happen very often that something as
simple and evident as dance music proves to be as much about sheer
imagination as it is about effortless innovation. And judging from the
enthusiasm the kids of today are lapping up these past nuggets with, the
original, pioneering dark pop of yesteryear still transmits its true
message: to be a cut above the rest.

LOGIC SYSTEM 'UNIT':
Hailing all the way from Japan, weird computer music from 1983, very much in
the same vain as Ryuichi Sakamoto, but with a more dancefloor edge to it!

THE POOL 'JAMAICA RUNNING':
Lo-fi production on this tribal/elektro workout from the early eighties...
Originally out in the states, but this mix was exclusive to the Belgian
pressing.

WILLPOWERS 'ADVENTURES IN SUCCESS':
1983 - project from photographer Lynn Goldsmith. Balearic & New Beat classic
co - written by Sting...

ALAN PARSONS PROJECT MAMMAGAMMA':
Prog-rockers Alan Parsons churn out this elektro-wave instrumental, who
would've guessed!?

A SPLIT SECOND 'FLESH':
1988 - This 12" ignited a new rage, later to be baptised 'New Beat', which
put Belgium as a dance music production nation on the world map a few years
later. Initially, it all started with some DJ's playing the 45rmp 12" at
33rpm, forcing 'Flesh' to a huge hit.

(313) Fw: Stewart Walker : Degenerate

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

He's dropped the S!


Artist: STEWART WALKER
Title: DEGENERATE
Label: PERSONA
Format: 12"
Cat. no.: PRS-008
Release date: 16/12/02

Stewart Walker has been a player in the electronic music scene since 1997,
when his first 12", 'Amphetamine Sulphate', was picked up by Sean Deason's
Matrix imprint. Stewart's path into music grew from an early obsession with
British bands such as My Bloody Valentine and Lush, although an avid
interest in the British music press steered Walker's interest towards early
electronic pioneers like 808 State and LFO - and the output of the fledgling
Warp and Rephlex labels, amongst others. His eyes opened to this
proto-techno sound, and early forays into music production followed, along
with a growing awareness of US based artists pursuing a similar direction.

Following a handful of single releases, Stewart's debut album - the tonal,
groove-orientated 'Stabiles' - was picked up for release on Mille Plateau.
For many, this was seen as Walker's entrance to the world stage. His work
continued, gracing labels internationally, including Force Inc., M_Nus,
Tresor, Rampe D, Tektite and Mosquito, but it wasn't until 2001 that he
established the 'Persona' label, where his production style came into it's
own. Stewart's sound matured - taking on an increased intricacy with the
addition of new sonic layers. The label also came with a new agenda:

Metaphors of machines were once necessary to discuss electronic music. In
2001 we are no longer 'the robots.' Instead, techno has become the most
personal form of expression in today's musical spectrum. One person. One
studio. Customizing rhythms and sounds that honestly represent his or her
vision.

Persona Records is about rebirth. Consider the history of electronic music
but with no greater emphasis than the history of all music. The sealing of
the 20th century archives allows us closure. Perspective. As the distance
increases and our memories convert to fiction, new mutations of the form
will arise.

A1. Dead People Fight Back
Kicking off with an almost two step flavour, this extremely melodic track
has plenty of elements to get your ears round, without being awkwardly
challenging.

A2. Instrumental's Greatest Hits
Stewart takes us on a slow stroll through some deep bass textures and
subterranean static. A more restrained, home-listening ambiance.

B1. Mysterious Rural Past
More uptempo and techy, but still swimming in a dublike atmosphere, and a
structure caught in a tug of war between the linear and an offstep skank.

B2. Leaf Cutter's Practice
A straight 4/4 piece but, as with the rest of the work on this 12", it
possesses a subdued quality which steers it away from more traditional club
material.

(313) OT: UK TV alert/Levis ad

[Tom Robbins/Magic Feet]

There was a thread recently about movie soundtracks... don't know if this
one was mentioned then but showing tonight on Chennel 4 at 11.40pm is 'Ghost
Dog: The Way Of The Samurai' which has a wonderful dark hip-hop soundtrack
by The RZA that many on this list will really enjoy. It's also an all-round
excellent film: directed by Jim Jarmusch and starring Forest Whitaker as a
pigeon-keeping Zen-abiding mob hitman whose bosses turn against him. My
favourite scene is the one with the hardbitten mobster dancing around his
bathroom to the strains of Public Enemy's 'Flavor Flav Cold Lampin' - sheer
genius.

Also, that's Pole's music in the current Levis ad on UK TV, right? The one
with all the models rubbing themselves on the ground?

Cheers!

SONARSOUND LANDS IN TOKYO

After London, Lisbon, Neuchatel and Hamburg, SONARSOUND will reach Tokyo the
coming 12 and 13 of October. The framework of this new initiative will be
the Tokyo Designers Block 2002 (www.tolyodesignersblock.com), an
international interdisciplinary event taking place from October 10 to 14,
which will bring outstanding designers from all over the world to the
Japanese capital.

This new SONARSOUND event will not only take the Sónar festival philosophy
to Tokyo but will also enable us to get first hand knowledge of the local
art scene and music industry with a view to future collaborations that will
back and promote electronic artists from our country on the Japanese market.

SONARSOUND will present a varied musical programme over two days with a
total of fifteen acts. All this will take place at the spectacular Think
Zone (www.66ic.com), a cube shaped art gallery with state of the art
technology right in the heart of Roppongi Hills. On the 12th and in
collaboration with Third Ear, there will be concerts by Soul Center, Dennis
DeSantis, Numb and Why Sheep?, as well as DJ sets by Fumiya Tanaka, Hiroshi
Watanabe and Dj Kentaro, whereas on the 13th it will be the turn of Ulrich
Schnauss, Yoshinori Sunahara, World's End Girlfriend, Portable [K]ommunity,
Yamauchi and Nao Tokui (Clickety And Clack), with Angel Molina and Fibla
heading the list of those representing the Barcelona scene.

Besides the music, SONARSOUND will complete its programme with two other
activities aimed at stimulating debate, promotion and analysis: "SonarSound
Symposium", a forum that will focus on the present state of digital creation
and its new territories of expansion, and "SonarSound Lecture", a series of
lectures around the fusion between digital art and advanced musics.

SONARSOUND TOKYO is an Advanced Music (www.sonar.es) and Third Ear
(www.third-ear.net) initiative in collaboration with the Department of
Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

All the information on this event can be viewed in Japanese at:

MUSIC PROGRAMME


SONARSOUND BY NIGHT 1: 12/10

SOUL CENTER (live): With samples from soul labels such as Stax and a highly
evolved form of minimalism as his touchstone, Thomas Brinkmann has
established himself as the sole master of European techno.
(http://www.mute.com/soulcenter/index.html)

FUMIYA TANAKA (dj): One of the most idolatrised Japanese disc-jockeys on the
international circuit. Admired by Jeff Mills and Juan Atkins, his style
fluctuates between minimal techno and dub with touches of hip hop.
(http://www.fumiyatanaka.com/)

DENNIS DESANTIS (live): The most emotional and darkest DJ on the avant garde
tech-house scene. An artist with academic training (a collaborator of Steve
Reich) with a leaning towards the sounds of Richie Hawtin, Maurizio and
Kenny Larkin. (http://www.dennisdesantis.com/)

NUMB (live): Awaiting his next release, Numb continues to walk the fine line
of strangeness devoid of shadows or threats. Breakbeats left right and
centre signed in the most astounding Japanese calligraphy.
(http://www.revirth.com/)

HIROSHI WATANABE (dj): The closest aspirer to becoming the oriental Aphex
Twin: children's melodies and soaring, frenetic and over the top rhythms,
which renew concepts such as drill'n'bass and dizziness.
(www.hiroshiwatanabe.com/)

WHY SHEEP? (live): Third Ear's most best guarded secret. An intricate
universe of advanced sounds and noises springing up from a transgressive
spirit and a limitless desire for sound research.

DJ KENTARO (dj): The undisputed winner of the latest World DJ Champions
award, DJ Kentaro is a lethal cyclone possessing a prodigious technique that
elevates turntablism to the status of art. (www.djkentaro.com/)

SONARSOUND BY NIGHT 2: 13/10

ANGEL MOLINA (dj): At the height of his career (volume two of "Wax Sessions"
is due to be released and highly respected by the crème de la crème of the
world's Dj's), Angel continues to be an effective combination of techno,
soul and precision. (http://www.minifunk.net/)

YOSHINORI SUNAHARA (dj): A member of the disbanded Denki Groove, Y.
Sunahara's record showcase opts for downtempo, muzak and exquisite ambient
sounds. (www.y-sunahara.com/)

ULRICH SCHNAUSS (live): "Far Away Trains Passing by" made a name for himself
thanks to his extremely high voltage electronic melodies and his genius at
conveying expression and pure emotion. (www.city-centre-offices.de/)

FIBLA (live): His general headquarters are in Barcelona but his outlook is
clearly international. Vicent Fibla releases clicky melodies  from his
spa.RK label for lovers of abstract electronics.
(http://www.sparkreleases.com/)

WORLD'S END GIRLFRIEND (live): A kind of Godspeed You Black Emperor! with
laptops, WEG equally evoke the crescendos of post-rock, the beauty of
indietronics, and the zanines

ARTIST: TECHNASIA
TITLE: RECREATIONS
LABEL: TECHNASIA
DISTRIBUTION:
FORMAT: CD / LP
CAT.NO. TA102CD
RELEASE DATE: 15 NOVEMBER 2002

Technasia are the transglobal pairing of Amil Khan (Hong Kong) and Charles
Siegling (Paris). You may already know or have heard several of the tracks
on this album in their original versions, which have become classic
dancefloor cuts across the globe. Tracks such as "Force", "Hydra", and
"Evergreen", are clear examples, with DJs such as Dave Clarke, Jeff Mills,
Hell, Sven Vath and Laurent Garnier hammering them.

Recreations is a remix album of some of Technasia finest work.  Charles &
Amil deliver their reworkings of "Force" with the smoothest tech-house on
'Technasia Arpeggio mix', the funky 'Technasia Reprise mix', along side the
tougher 'Evergreen' (Technasia Remix).  Besides this fellow Technasia fans
Funk D' Void (Soma), Claude Young (Deta), John Tejada (Pallette), and
Brazil's Renato Cohen (aka Level 202, Noise Music, Sao Paulo) adding their
own unique interpretations.

Technasia's previous album, "Future Mix", which was released at the end of
last year, received massive critical acclaim and considerable commercial
success.  Further success soon followed, at the Musik Und Maschine awards in
Berlin (2001), where Technasia took three accolades (including "Best Album",
for Future Mix) as voted for by techno and electronic luminaries around the
world. So as you will hear, Technasia's impeccable pedigree is not based on
over-rated hype.

The largest explanation for the group's considerable popularity has to be
their production talents evident in their unique sound. Taking cues from
influences as diverse as Coil, Yellow Magic Orchestra, and Depeche Mode, as
well as more conventional, house / techno producers, Technasia have carved a
niche for themselves amidst a glut of bland tech-house. With an almost
trademark knack of incorporating melody into their work (Melody!? Techno!?
Whaaat!!??), and a polished sheen to even their most kicking of tunes,
there is a remarkable amount of cross-over potential to their work.

This year has seen Charles Siegling's DJ talents rise to the forefront of
international acclaim.  His "Plus" mix CD released December 2001, which was
recorded live at Club Orange in Beijing, has increased the standard of DJ
mix CDs. Charles blazes through 31 tracks of hi-tek funk with dextrous
turntable skills that give the likes of Dave Clarke a run for their money.
His DJ appearances have become sought after worldwide.

Besides an incredible album Technasia are proud to announce that
"Recreations" will be in the Enhanced Audio/Video CD format.  Along with the
cracking audio tracks (as featured on the promo copies) the final Enhanced
CD will feature the much anticipated "Force" video specially created for the
avid Technasia fans! The video is directed by a new talented Hong Kong art
video director - Jason Pelmet.  With Hong Kong cinema having a huge impact
on the global cinema market, Jason puts forward a mystical journey into
imageries in tune with the culturally rich vibrant city of Hong Kong.
Combining quality techno with striking visuals, "Recreations" out soon on
Technasia.

CD Tracklisting

1- CROSSWALK (FUNK D'VOID REMIX)
The Funk D'Void reworking sticks to the electroey momentum of the original,
and usues some trademark deep pads to create an almost laidback mood. Midway
through, the killer riff from the original drops in and takes the track to
the next level, but Lars keeps the tone relatively relaxed.

2- EVERGREEN (JOHN TEJADA REMIX)
Mr Tejada retains the padding tribal drums of the original track, but
reworks the melodic aspects to great effect - adding some of his own chord
changes to give the track a suitably original flavour, but still with enough
kick for the floor.

3- FORCE (TECHNASIA REPRISE)
Technasia's most popular tune to date gets a re-jig from the lads
themselves. A moody piano weaves its way through the original's catchy hook,
whilst Charles' distinct vocal is used sparingly. The rhythm section is
completely revamped for a more electro flavour.

4- FUTURE MIX (TECHNASIA PREMONITION MIX)
How do Technasia do it? Their tracks are so damn infectious, with hooks
aplenty. This track's a great example of that. 'Future Mix' is given an
overhaul that keeps all of the original's good qualities, but looks at it
from a new angle - surely what good remixing is all about.

5- EVERGREEN (TECHNASIA REMIX)
'Evergreen' is given a once over with a straight up techno dynamic that's
geared for the floor. The tinny, linear beats the have become a key feature
of their productions betray a love of early Chicago house, particularly the
Dancemania label, and this is evident in this pacey remix.

6- FORCE (TECHNASIA ARPEGGIO)
This version makes full use of the Sumner-esque vocal, combined with some
high-end keys that paint over the original chord-driven hook.

7- MILLENNIUMS (THE UNKNOWN)
A new track that takes the listener through a lush, swirling synthesized
sou

Nah, Cyclone is a woman, albeit one who misuses the word 'prosperity'.
What's more, she swears that's her birth/given/real name. Hippy parents or

Just seen this. Laura and I had a bit of a disagreement on the list a few
months back and I never met her in person - the extent of our releationship
was some back'n'forth email over the last few years - but all the same I got
the clear impression she was 100% committed, believed completely in what she

You may or may not have heard the Electric Six yet. In fact, you may not
have even heard of them. Well, all you need to know is that they're headed
this way and you'd be a fool to miss them.

For the uninitiated, they're from Detroit, used to trade under the name The
Wild Bunch and their new single, 'Danger! High Voltage' (you may know it as
the toe tapper towards the end of Soulwax's recent '2 Many DJs'
compilation), is out on the 6th of January on XL Recordings.

This is their first tour outside of their native USA and if you want to go,
usual rules apply - just e-mail me back your requests.

As part of L.A.'s Bay Area SoleSides crew, Blackalicious have made their

producers and further alongside Jazzbo, DJ Shadow and Lyrics Born helped to
make the entity known as  Quannum. The full, no holds-barred line up from

If you want to get a seat on the return London coach but didn't book along
with your ticket you can do so via www.wayahead.com

Tickets are dwindling away quickly!! Remember the last two Dedbeats sold out
in advance! Dedbeat 3 will also be the first time ever you will be able to
'Witness The Pitness' as the foul-mouthed miner Pitman will be giving it out
proper. 'One spade, one coal.' An underground legend in the making!

And finally it is very unlikely that there will be a Dedbeat in spring as
they are currently planning something for the Summer abroad. Dedbeat HQ feel
that doing too many events over a shortened period will dilute the quality

Dear All,

Sorry for the circular nature of this email. Here's some information about
the first Dublin Electronic Art Festival (DEAF), launching today in Dublin.
I have also included a schedule of acts confirmed to date, many more will be
added in the run up to the festival.

It's the first event of its kind to take place in Ireland and any support
would be greatly appreciated - news stories, interviews etc.

DEAF is an independently run festival.

DEAF
DUBLIN ELECTRONIC ART FESTIVAL
OCTOBER SUNDAY 20th - OCTOBER MONDAY 28TH 2002
This October sees the first Dublin Electronic Arts Festival (DEAF) take
place. DEAF will bring together Irish and international record labels, music
promoters, musicians and visual designers to host various stages and
showcases over 9 days, from October 20th to 29th inclusive.  DEAF will
become an essential annual event on the global calendar for electronic
visual designers and music enthusiasts and will take place in numerous
venues, bars and galleries throughout the city centre area.
Over the past ten years electronic music has moved from its origins in
Detroit and Berlin and its influence resonates through popular culture,
evident in fashion, technology and the visual arts.
Dublin was prematurely heralded as the 'dance capital of Europe', but in the
intervening years has developed a flowering indigenous scene and currently
boasts a healthy and diverse cross-section of underground producers, DJs and
artists engaged in a never-ending succession of exciting projects.
As such, the Irish scene has gained the confidence it needed to carve out
its own identity and the time is right to provide a focus for this creative
energy, to place Ireland's burgeoning scene in an international context.
DEAF is the first Irish electronic music event to fully embrace these new
opportunities. This first year will put Dublin on the map and will kick
start an essential annual event on the global calendar for electronic music
enthusiasts.
DEAF will begin in IMMA featuring a collaboration with The Crash Ensemble,
while other venues include The Guinness Storehouse, Ri-Ra, The Temple Bar
Music Centre, 4, Dame Lane, The Crypt [Temple Theatre] and Parnell Mooneys.
There will also be plenty of bar activity all week in The Thomas House, The
Globe, The International Bar and Handels Bar.
DEAF launches on Tuesday, September 17th in 4, Dame Lane, featuring a live
performance from Dave Donoghue [D1 Recordings] and visuals from Pixelcorp,
Click & Fuselage, which will offer a taste of what to expect at the
festival.

Kim Bilir project culminating in an interactive visual soundscape and Jeff
Mills will produce a richly woven fabric of sound and image featuring film
unlike any of his sets you have ever experienced. Having created some of the
most arresting and influential dance music during his career, take time to
expect the unexpected from Mr Mills. LOST dance floor DJ sets by Jeff and
Steve will also follow.

The Blue Room will open shortly after the Red followed by alternative DJ
sets from John, Alex Knight, Mario and Steve Stasis. The silent space
features the 'Inside the
 White Cube' installation courtesy of S.Rashit, incorporating the
abstraction of colour.
