Re: Amp Fiddler album

[Tristan Watkins]

I get a lot of P-Funk from it as well. I think he played with them at one
point maybe? As you say, lots of obvious nods to Motown, but seamlesslessly
blended with what is very recognisably “him”.

Amp Fiddler album

[Tristan Watkins]

I'm don't think I mentioned this here when Amp Fiddler passed, but I
recently got this album, The One, with Will Sessions. Just had it on again.
Some of his best music here. Seven Mile is especially attention grabbing
(Moodymann shared a clip of this track on Instagram, which is how I found
out I'd slept on this), but the whole album is really nice.

Re: Humanities Detroit Techno

[Tristan Watkins]

Techno Rebels?

On a slight tangent, Jeremy Deller's "Everybody in the Place" is set in a
British classroom, where he is teaching British teenagers about the impact
of American dance music on Europe at the time. Obviously the context is
probably a bit different to what you would naturally seek out, and it does
drift away from 313, but the documentary itself is far better than the
cookie cutter talking head content we have in most of the better-known
examples. The teaching setting is also a great spectatorial model, and in
terms of the impact on the viewer, it's second-to-none IIMO. It's the best
reference I can think of for the impact of 313 and 312 as cultural exports.
It was made for the BBC, but you may be able to find it on YouTube or his
site (I haven't tried to unearth the links in case international
restrictions apply).

Re: Tom Churchill

Yeah, he’s been doing nice stuff. I keep the modular videos at a dostance

enjoyed his release ln 2SOX earlier this year.

Knight Rider

[Tristan Watkins]

Hey all. Just popping in to say my fourth record on Horse Category is out
today, and is pretty on topic. Bandcamp exclusive for the first few weeks
https://phonopsia.bandcamp.com/album/knight-rider. The vinyl will be
available at Juno later this month, and most other digital platforms at the
end of the month.

Cheers,

Re: Still on?

[Tristan Watkins]

Hey all. Following Jwan's instruction to be more shameless in my self
promotion, this track that I shared roughly a year ago is now up for
pre-order on the third release on my label. You can stream the release in
full here https://category.horse/peaks-and-troughs/ and I will send DL
codes now to people who buy the vinyl during pre-order. Links on that page
to various vinyl purveyors who may offer more favourable shipping costs
than I can offer from Bandcamp. Enjoy!

Re: Summer Techno Songs

[Tristan Watkins]

I know I'm a bit late on this, but loving Brian Kage's Tour de Troit.

Drifting a bit adrift off pure 313 I've been enjoying these:

-NCW on NCW on Apartment
-DJ Deeon's Destiny
-Dino Sabatini on Delsin offshoot Mantis (one for the Dozzy fans)
-Tusken Raiders House week Vol. 5 (best of the series for me, although I
may be drifting away from "Summer techno" here)

Headless Horseman

[Tristan Watkins]

At risk of stepping over self-promo lines, the second release on my new
label is out today. It's been a long time coming. I first posted one of
these tracks here fifteen years ago, and these tracks were nearly released
through a connection on this list, in what would have been an exceptionally
exciting way. But that all fizzled, they gathered virtual dust, and last
year I finally decided to start the label to get these tracks out there.
Hope y'all enjoy. Pretty 313-friendly I feel, but you be the judge.

https://phonopsia.bandcamp.com/album/Headless-Horseman

Other shops and digital places here:
https://category.horse/headless-horseman/

If anyone is irritated, Jwan told me to be more self-promotional last year,
so blame him.

Re: New 313-relevant stuff

[Tristan Watkins]

I'm by no means an authority on Strand, but they had a release on
Frictional and one of those tracks "Zephyr" was also on the True People
comp as Kech and B. Bonds back in the day. That was my intro to them in any
case. It looks like Brian Bonds was replaced by Brian Boyer along the way.

Re: New 313-relevant stuff

[Tristan Watkins]

I forgot to mention the new Reggie Dokes as well.
https://reggiedokes.bandcamp.com/

It's superb. I forgot to mention it because I balked at the $28 digital
cost, and picked it up at Juno after my latest Bandcamp haul. I always try
to support artists directly, but being asked to pay this much extra through
Bandcamp baffles me a bit. I've probably spent far too much time pondering
this question lately, and suppose maybe this is a Patreon-alike approach,
but I really struggle to wrap my head around paying this much of a premium
for digital content. Dunno... Not wishing to start a thing, just something
that also cropped up recently with the Placid Angels album. I know Reggie
Dokes encouraged people to buy directly through Bandcamp for this release,
so thought it was only fair to share that link, but thought I should own up
about not buying it there myself...

In any case, the new album is great, and you should buy it somewhere.

New 313-relevant stuff

[Tristan Watkins]

Yo.

A couple of (313) things I thought people would want to know about.

New Strand https://strand313.bandcamp.com/album/silicon

Newish Russ Gabriel on Ferox.
https://russgabriel.bandcamp.com/album/off-centre. I like his other recent
stuff, but this is back on top form for me. Like he is drifting somewhere
in between his '00s less techy output (of which I am a huge admirer) and
the recent return to techno.

Some Nuron releases I'd missed. https://nuron.bandcamp.com/music. There is
also a new 2x12" Likemind reissue that I need to pick up before it goes
https://www.rubadub.co.uk/records/likemind-06.

Placid Angels - Touch the Sky
https://figure-music.bandcamp.com/album/touch-the-earth (note, for some
reason the digital release is priced much higher at Bandcamp than other
stores for some reason I am struggling to fathom).

Kyle Hall's MPC Dreams https://kylehall.bandcamp.com/album/mpc-dreams

Urban Tribe reissue (which is incredible)
https://urbantribe.bandcamp.com/album/urban-tribe

Loads of other great stuff about presently, but this was the topical stuff
I don't think I've seen mentioned.

Cheers,

Tristan

I also really rate the new Shawn Rudiman and Los Hermanos. Both really
nice.

A bit leftfield, but Sam Prekop, lead singer of The Sea and Cake (once
remixed by Carl Craig, topicality fans), has a newish album out on Thrill
Jockey called Comma. It is mostly techo, surprisingly. His solo work has
drifted from indy stuff to modular synths and now techno. I had it on the
other day and had no idea what this techno album was, and was really
surprised to see it was him. https://samprekop.bandcamp.com/album/comma

Really rate my first few listens to the new Being album on Firecracker. It
was all written in the '90s and compiled from many archives for this
release. Well worth your time.
https://firecrackerrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/firec030-broxburn-funk

Transllusion's Mind Over Positive and Negative Dimensional Matter just got
a digital release on Bandcamp from Tresor.
https://tresorberlin.bandcamp.com/album/mind-over-positive-and-negative-dimensional-matter


And while I have your ear, I haven't yet pimped my first record here yet,
so will wedge that in here. https://phonopsia.bandcamp.com/album/horse-time
(also available for pre-order now in a few stores ). Releases 26 Feb. The
first three releases are done. Pretty pleased with this new track that will
wind up on the fourth release in due course, if you fancy a preview.

Re: New Mills

[Tristan Watkins]

At risk of being overly clear, I've really liked the three or four Mills
albums I bought in 2020 (far more than I spent with any other Detroit
artist except maybe John Beltran), but there is no way I can keep up with
the cadence and couldn't stop myself from making the joke. Love that this
music has made it in to the world, but wish it was through less exclusive
channels at a less ambitious rate.

Top 10 albums of 2020 up at https://phonopsia.co.uk/best-albums-of-2020/
with clips, some words about them, etc.

Light on actual (313) selections, but His Name Is Alive is from Livonia,
Reggie Dokes made the bonus selections, and clearly some of this is
(313)-indebted. John Beltran had a great year but didn't quite make the
list somehow, and Moodymann's Taken Away would have been just outside the
top 10. FWIW, I thought Sinner was a better album though.

Likwid Continual Space Motion – Earthbound

Rian Treanor – File Under UK Metaplasm

The Transcendence Orchestra – Feeling The Spirit

Pole – Fading

LEYA – Flood Dream

Bass Clef – Maze Greys

Legowelt – Pancakes With Mist

Gan Gan Garmana Kacapi Suling – Javasounds Vol. 7

Linkwood & Other Lands – Face the Facts

His Name Is Alive – Return To Never (Home Recordings 1979 – 1986 Vol 2) and
Ghost Tape EXP

Bonus grip of honourable mentions as well.

Re: True People

[Tristan Watkins]

I always loved the Kech and B. Bonds track, "Zephyr", which also came out
on Strand's "Floyd Cramer's Revenge".

Stacey Pullen's "8th Wonder" is great, and E.F.F.'s "R.M.F.60" is sound
too.

I've used to play all three of these a fair amount.

I agree it was spottier than you'd hope, but it certainly had strong
moments.

Although my finger is certainly not on the pulse anymore, I have been

He also shared some of the new Patrice Scott on Sistrum yesterday, which

Re: (313) Serato Scratch Live and Tablets: Any examples?

[Tristan Watkins]

Art, I think for Serato to be good on a tablet it would need to be written
that way. I've got a Samsung Ativ Smart PC Pro, which is one of the first
full Windows 8 tablets, and the desktop app experience with touch is OK,
but not an improvement over using a mouse(pad). If Serato released an RT or
otherwise-touch-designed app for controlling things it would be compelling
I think, but otherwise I'd just get a full Windows laptop with a touch
screen so you can get some of the benefits of that experience (if that's
what you're after), while continuing to use the desktop Serato interface
with mouse/keyboard as you normally would. If you find that some things are
good with touch then you could/would do them that way, but you're not
betting on touch being good where it hasn't been designed for it if you go
down this road. As a rule, if the software hasn't been written for touch
it's not going to be great when touching it.

Keep in mind that all of the tablets are shipping with no more than 4GB
RAM, which is the trade-off for the form factor. You get a lot more options
at a lower price with a full laptop.

 Hi Arturo,
 I bought an app called 'Midi-to' for controlling scratch which works ok,
 but to be honest only used it a couple of times - it seemed more hassle
 that it was worth to set it up and didn't really offer any advantage over
 the normal interface, other than being able to place the tablet wherever
 you want.   I haven't seen anything which displays the track names and
 folders on the tablet and allows you to load from there, which would be
 ideal...

Hehe. If 313 was always the dad techno list, there's certainly a few more

On this end of the Surrey Techno Dads posse, my older boy is making a habit
of asking for fun fun fun on a weekend morning, which pleases me to no

(313) Actual Detroit techno

[Tristan Watkins]

So I've been seriously digging the Mills Sleeper Wakes and The Power albums
lately. Probably going to pick up the others in the series too. Really,
really on-form. Not news obviously, but easy to overlook I suppose.

Also like Nighttime World Volume 3: Motor a lot! Worthy of the Nighttime
World title.

It's great to hear both these dudes developing their sound still.

So, yesterday I was in the living room not paying attention to what
was on and a commercial comes on. I recognize the music and it didn't
hit me to look up until it was over. Today, a commercial comes on for
Kraft stuff and the same music comes on... but I can't quite put my
finger on it... My first thought: Mark Pritchard as Harmonic 313;
yes... that has to be it. I google Kraft Mark Pritchard and, lo and
behold, the Global Brand Building Officer of Procter  Gamble happens
to be Marc Pritchard...

except they're not the same person... And what's more... The track I
was repeating in my head was NOT on Harmonic 313's When Machines

But I KNOW Pritchard had something to do with this track...

So I sat here racking my brain over this track... and then it hits me:
Global Communication (Mark Pritchard and Tom Middleton) did a mix for
Fabric (Fabric 26), and I listen to it several times a week either at
work or on the way there. Cue it up on my phone and BINGO! The second
track in the mix... Dabrye's (Tadd Mullinix) No Child of God... is
the soundtrack to a new Kraft cheesy something or another commercial.


just thought I'd let you guys know...

(313) Who was George Smiley?

[Tristan Watkins]

Despite discovering that film is basically a sedative for me since
becoming a parent, I persevered through Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy last
night. Part of the way through I couldn't shake the notion that I knew
the name George Smiley from somewhere. Then it clicked. He was the
original (313) list admin back in the day. From the time that I joined
the list around '98, he never really posted much, but it occurs to me
now that this was more likely to have been a pseudonym than a
coincidence. Anyone know who George Smiley was? Just curious if it was
one of the later (313) admins in disguise, or maybe one of the
hyperreal people? Clearly not really important, but it just made me
curious, especially given the fictional character.

Cheers,

Tristan

Didn't Jeff Mills have a residency at the Nectarine Ballroom in the

although it was a different night than the one he did.

  Hey all, I've been asked why Ypsilanti is 313 related, and I thought it
  would be super fun to explain that publicly.
 
  In my experience, Detroit techno is much bigger than Detroit, and much
  bigger than one strictly defined genre of music. Obviously the influence is
  global, so that is one way that it reaches beyond Detroit. But the whole
  region of southeast Michigan is central to the history of techno, and
  electronic dance music in general. The Electrifying Mojo started his radio
  program in Ann Arbor on AM radio in the mid 1970s. Detroit techno founders,
  Juan, Derrick, Kevin, and Eddie, all spent significant parts of their youth
  in Belleville. WCBN, out of Ann Arbor, had a significant impact on listeners
  who are now totally awesome electronic music producers and/or DJs in this
  area like Tadd Mullinix, Todd Osborn, and Carlos Souffront. Brendan Gillen
  transformed Crush Collision on WCBN from a primarily jazz program to a dope
  electronic music program. Erika Sherman (of Ectomorph with
  Brendan) also spent some years in Ann Arbor and DJing on WCBN. Lots of
  Detroit DJs, during the 1970s - 1990s played in Ann Arbor.
 
  I'm still not addressing Ypsilanti directly, I know. I just want to
  emphasize that I think Detroit techno is part of a much larger, and diverse,
  regional culture and history. Ypsilanti of 10, or even 5 years ago, probably
  wasn't super connected to Detroit in terms of electronic music. However, it
  is becoming one stop along the regional techno circuit. There are a number
  of people who live in Ypsi, or spend time and energy in Ypsi, who are
  significant to the contemporary state of Detroit electronic music. Todd
  Osborn is one in particular.
  He is the reason why this Rephlex event is happening at Woodruff's in Ypsi.
  Todd hosts a regular Sunday night at Woodruff's and DJs other parties there.
  Plus Woodruff's is becoming a really great musical and cultural space, in
  general.
 
  I'd love to hear others thoughts on this!

Re: (313) string synth sound

[Tristan Watkins]

Hey Mike,

Welcome back! It sounds like you have it spotted. I had just typed all
of this up before I saw your reply, but it sounds like people might be
interested in getting this type of sound more generally so I'll post
it anyway.

It could come from any Pitch Envelope Generator (in Yamaha
terminology), which basically modifies pitch over time, like an air
raid siren. It's really fun to play with these. It's one of my
favourite things about the AN1x. In terms of it being a cheap synth,
it looks like the Casio CZ had similar functionality.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_CZ_synthesizers

On some synths with sophisticated LFO routing you could probably do
the same thing with as well if you slowly modified pitch, but it would
be less straight-forward to get these results - like you might need to
do that on one oscillator and have a similar oscillator that fades in
without the LFO at the sustained pitch.

There's probably 17 other ways you could do it with other
implementations as well.

 early 90's Korg rompler(doesn't matter which one).

 I have heard that Neil Oliverra did Sountrack313 on an X5d, and that's it.

 The gear used on old Mills records and Soundtrack313 is stupid cheap

Re: (313) what's rockin' my box lately 313 and related wise

[Tristan Watkins]

I've just caught up on the last six months of shopping but I don't 
recall which of that stuff is recent. I got a number of things that I've 
not seen bigged up, so I'll do so here. I got some stuff from Orlando 
Voorn with Blake Baxter, Ibex, Santonio, and I think that's it for the 
Detroit stuff. All of these guys had multiple releases that are worth 
listening to.


The new Thomas Fehlmann album sounds nice, although I've only really 
listened to a couple of tracks properly. I agree with Jacob Arnold's 
review, that it would be nice if some of those tracks were longer.


Other stuff from artists that have been discussed here periodically, but 
not recently:


Wayne Gardiner featuring Ras Anthony on CIMA is good. It's worth 
checking out the rest of the CIMA catalogue as well. The Tommy Bones and 
Qebass releases are tasty. Digital only on Traxsource and Juno, IIRC.


I found a really good Nubian Mindz release called Sellouts that I've not 
seen mentioned before. Reminds me of where they were circa Scattered 
Snares. Pretty fierce.


There was a good P'Taah release called Everything is Naturally Free. 
Nice to hear Chris Brann back on form.

I think the article makes some good points but mostly in the context
of the UK, where musical sub-genres are written about as though they

The Detroit attitude is, I'd hope, more eclectic, and the musicians I
talk to think more in terms of good or bad than this genre or that
genre. So I can talk with Alan Oldham about Creation Records Shoegazer
bands, and with Shake about Cooly G.
The way I read it, he was saying that eclecticism and perpetual 
reinvention is precisely what makes dubstep (so far) like the early days 
of Detroit techno - that it is evolving very quickly, pulling in 
influences from all over the shop and is difficult to pin down. I think 
that's a fair point. If you listen to a lot of the best dubstep 
producers' DJ sets you'll find influences from all over the last 25 
years and within the various styles of dubstep.


Also, I think there's a misperception that it's just kids making this 
stuff. Untold has been producing since '93 according to this RA article: 
http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1105


Not that I think the comparison can stretch for miles or that anyone 
should take it out of context.


Ultimately, I'm just getting a bit irritated with people making more out 
of it than it is or of writing it off altogether. Whether it's to 
everyone's taste is one thing but I would hope it's evident that this 
isn't narrow or purely derivative. In my mind it's one of the more 
interesting things to happen in a long time precisely because it's not 
as narrow and codified as any of the previous big electronic music 
trends. It's almost the complete opposite.

Re: (313) Croydon Is New Detroit - Addendum

[Tristan Watkins]

Before this gets out of hand, let me say this:  Personally, I have no 
qualms about Dubstep. My response was not to be misconstrued as a 
bash dubstep post.  HOWEVER, the part that really bothered me (and 
YES, I'm sensitive about it) is when someone classified it as The New 
Detroit.


Eclecticism and perpetual reinvention?  Absolutely.   In fact, that's 
one of the reasons why I like dubstep.  But here's something I'd like 
for you to acknowledge.  People remember HEADLINES.  Writers are 
basically taught to engage their readers with a powerful HEADLINE.  
And as a Detroit artist, that particular headline spoke volumes to 
ME.  It said, in so many words, Detroit is dead.  Out with the old, 
in with the new...  And I guarantee you I'm not the ONLY Detroit 
artist who read it that way.


Mind you, I could've simply dismissed the headline.  But that's only 
worsening the problem.  I have no problem with evolution -- in fact, 
it's how I SURVIVE.  But SOMEBODY needed to step up and say to those 
who might see exactly what I saw in that headline, WE ARE STILL HERE.


Detroit already has a bad reputation, to begin with.  From the joke 
of a mayor we used to have, to having the dumbest kids in the 
nation, the LAST thing we need is somebody saying to a new generation 
of music listeners that Croydon -- or anywhere else -- is the New 
Detroit.


A better headline could've compared Croydon's evolution to Detroit.  
But unlike what a lot of popular articles suggest, Detroit is NOT an 
adjective.  Detroit is HOME.  And when someone or something threatens 
YOUR home, it's only natural that you defend it...


Aaron-Carl
All fair points, and it must get irritating watching people trade on 
Detroit's reputation without ever having lived there. As you say, it's 
the headline that's irritating and I guess I'm just numb to that these 
days, especially in music journalism, but I totally can see why you'd 
want to speak up about it.

(313) Phonopsia - Nuba Tuba

[Tristan Watkins]

I’ve finished a new track called Nuba Tuba. It’s the first thing I’ve 
made public in three years. No idea how to characterise it in a word. 
The beat is fast electro with intermittent tribal drums and the melodies 
probably just sound like melodies that I’d do. There’s some dubby keys 
(I guess???) with lots of synthy stuff around it and a pretty big 
bassline that wound up sounding a bit like a tuba to me.


It’s encoded at 192 Kbps mp3 until I figure out what I’m going to do 
with it and the other music that I’ve been sitting on. I may post that 
other sat-on stuff up in similar quality mp3 soon too.


Anyway… grab it here:

Re: (313) Serato Vs Traktor smackdown for my consumer dollars.

[Tristan Watkins]

On 10/08/2009 21:50, kent williams wrote:

I have friends that use both.  I don't basically for philosophical
reasons -- I'd rather DJ actual vinyl, or do something like DJing (but
different) with the computer.

Based on A) playing around with Traktor (without the time-code vinyl),
and B) watching people use Serato, it seems like Traktor has a lot
more sound manipulation and effects, and supports 4 virtual decks.
Serato's interface is simpler, and I don't think it has effects,
though it does support looping on the fly.

The thing I really like about Serato is the vertical waveform display.
  With the two channels scrolling vertically next to each other, you
get good visual feedback about how well two tracks are synced up.

With Traktor, the waveform displays aren't adjacent so you don't get
the same visual feedback.  Traktor also has pretty fancy tools for
automatic beatmatching which work amazingly well -- except when they
don't.  You can go into a track and fix Traktor's idea of tempo, but
I've never really tried it.  And I have no idea how using the time
code vinyl interacts with the tempo analysis.
   

Hey Art,

I've only used Serato a few times but found it intuitive and easy to 
use. The one thing that I rate in it that's missing from Traktor is the 
waveform display, as Kent says. When I purchased Traktor Scratch when it 
first came out it was quite a punt compared to the known quality of 
Serato, but I still chose Traktor Scratch because it came with the Audio 
8 interface for a similar price and that was compelling to me. This also 
gets you the ability to record in Traktor Scratch as you mix, which is a 
nice bonus. I believe Serato have added this in a new version but that 
it costs more money. The only other thing that sort of irritates me in 
Traktor Scratch is the graphic design and UI. It works perfectly fine 
but I'm inherently irritated by an interface that looks like it was 
mocked up in Flash when there's no need for it whatsoever. A minor gripe 
though. Personally I think the difference in the hardware spec makes it 
a simple decision but everyone has their own take on this and I imagine 
you'll be happy with either. As always, one of the best options is to 
take them both for a test drive and see which one you get on with.


Cheers,

Tristan

Re: (313) New Moritz LP - brief report

[Tristan Watkins]

I blogged up this review the other day: http://www.phonopsia.co.uk/?p=634

...

For those who haven’t kept up, the Moritz von Ozwald Trio is a 
collaboration between Moritz von Ozwald, Max Loderbauer of Sun Electric 
and Sasu Ripatti AKA Luomo/Vladislav Delay. They’ve played live a few 
times, garnering much wider interest than you’d expect from one-off 
local gigs, unfortunately brought further in to the spotlight by Moritz 
Von Oswald’s recent rumoured stroke, just before the trio were due to 
play at last year’s DEAF.


The Trio’s long-awaited first release, Vertical Ascent, is now available 
for download for £4 from the Honest Jon’s website. There are physical 
media available for purchase in most vinyl/CD purveyors as well.


I’ve only had the time to listen to it twice today, and my thoughts are 
mixed. On one hand, this could never be as good as it looks on paper. On 
the other hand, the end result is not entriely what I would have 
expected. It’s more percussive than I anticipated. It’s also very 
composed, with longer tracks that vary considerably and last quite some 
time. This isn’t that surprising given recent work like von Ozwald’s 
remixes of Auricle/Bio/On and Watamu Beach. Unfortunately, like those 
remixes, I feel that they promise more than they deliver. There are 
elements that distinguish it from these recent remixes, and they are 
welcome, but the end result initially feels the same. The tracks never 
really seem to arrive. It’s all ascent, stopping shot of the suggested apex.


There’s plenty here to be excited about, but based on first impressions, 
this isn’t likely to be getting much play in 2010 or beyond. The third 
and fourth tracks on Vertical Ascent may prove to be exceptions to that 
critique with repeated listens, but I’m not holding my breath based on 
my lack of continued enthusiasm for his recent (re)work.


...

I've since listened a couple of times more and feel the same. This isn't 
to say that it doesn't build nicely, it's just that it feels like it 
should be going somewhere but the tracks just sort of stop.

Cheers,

Tristan

Otto was my very kind host when I visited Rotterdam almost 10 years

part of that party was seeing Otto, completely drenched in sweat and
so happy to be there that I was afraid he was going to spontaneously
combust ...
 


Oh yeah! That party *still* puts a huge smile on my face. Packed right
from when it started until 6am in the morning. Pure darkness, the only
light being a desk lamp that was barely enough for the DJs to see what
they were putting on, which was a house set to rival the best nights
at Body  Soul. File alongside Rolando's set during the UR afterparty
@ Johansen Gallery, DEMF 2001. Utterly legendary.

Yeah, that was blatantly one of the best parties ever. It was definitely 
the best party I'd ever attended at the time. IIRC it was the debut of 
KDJ30, or at least it was around that weekend and hearing Moodymann play 
it at the Detroit Contemporary was amazing. All of a sudden I wish I was 
going to DEMF this year.

breath, if they're only going to utter one sentence. It's not all about 
the fact that techno started in Detroit and that a large part of the 
techno canon is from there. Detroit techno has largely been replaying 
itself but Detroit house continues to remain fresh. See: Reggie Dokes, 
3rd Ear, etc. I'd say the best techno coming from Detroit today comes 
from Seth Troxler, and that's arguably more house than techno. There's 
still good Detroit techno out there, but not much of it is coming from 
Detroit. Or that's my antagination towards getting some discussion going 
here again anyway.

Re: (313) DEMF statistics revealed

[Tristan Watkins]

Nuff respect to Michael Geiger. I think he's an excellent DJ - but it's 
mad to see him on that list, given that as soon as I saw Carola at 4x I 
was thinking WTF. Does anyone outside of Detroit or people who have 
visited Detroit know who Michael Geiger is? I'm not trying to make too 
big of a deal about this, but I'd expect to see Derrick May there before 
him.


That said, there's little rhyme or reason to this across multiple 
festivals and multiple sets of political pressures.

I'm just going to get on a soapbox for half a second, won't make a

Please enter the metadata into the mp3--preferably all of it but at
least put your name in the Artist field. Finding DJ 313kiddo's
HotCheeseJamz mix is a little difficult in even a modestly sized
library of 3,500 mp3's since the filename was called
uberl33tmix2009.mp3.

Please do not encode at anything lower than 256k.
Thought I'd chime in as a possible culprit. The one time I posted a 
longer mix at 320k I ran out of bandwidth and had to shell out on two 
sets of top-ups just so people could grab it - so I reduced it to 192k. 
The difference in file size is 130MB for my last mix. This isn't trivial 
for people with smaller storage devices (I sometimes use a 1GB mp3 
player). My previous mix at 320k would have been 410MB!


It's a fair point re: metadata. You're right to complain, and I know 
I've forgotten to add it before uploading more than once - but why not 
just add it yourself if someone forgets to add it? It only takes ten 
seconds. Whereas re-uploading files without metadata can be a hassle if 
you realise that you forgot after the fact and have poor upload 
bandwidth. It's a bad excuse I know but perhaps it sheds some light on 
why it happens?

(313) Speaking of narratives...

[Tristan Watkins]

Following that discussion about the narrative of an entire release, I've 
bought a few things recently that really come together well as proper 
albums.


Actress Hazyville wears its Detroit influence on its sleeve while 
exerting some latitude on the arrangements and beats the underpin 
everything. There are a couple of stand-out tracks: Ivy May Gilpin and 
Again The Addiction, but I'd suggest that this definitely shouldn't be 
picked apart, because it's much more rewarding when taken as a whole, 
and nearly every track is doing something that you won't pick up on by 
scanning through it. The album was a long time coming and definitely 
worth the wait.


A Made Up Sound (2562) Shortcuts uses the lots-of-short-tracks 
approach to building an album. Although the sound is abstract and 
Detroit-inspired, the beats incorporate hip hop, dubstep, house and 
techno influences, while never fitting neatly in any of these styles. If 
anyone thinks dubstep is narrow and rigid, this might be a counter-example.


Aardvarck Pigstyle belongs in this category because he manages to 
unify his recent dubstep output beside his house sound, while throwing 
in some new experimental twists that vaguely recall his earlier works. 
The characteristicness of his sound is strong enough that some might 
think it's samey, but I reckon he's traversing a fairly broad range of 
beats and pulling in a number of different influences in the process. 
All-told, I reckon it tells a complete story in a unique way, which = 
album to me.


Robert Henke (Monolake) Atom uses a limited set of sounds, including 
some traditional instruments mixed with his futuristic-sounding 
synthesis to achieve a really distinctive sound throughout. It's really 
composed as well. You can tell that a great deal of editorial restraint 
went in to achieving the coherence of the album. I reckon this one will 
definitely stand the test of time.

Yeah, I do understand those reasons as an artist, but the more we're 
talking about this the more I'm wondering if these aren't purely the 
concerns of the artist rather than the label - meaning: artist-run 
labels are the ones that would be less likely to distribute digitally. 
Put another way, I reckon this discussion is really about the 
relationship between the label and the consumer rather than the artist 
and the listener, if you see what I mean? In cases where the artist is 
the label, this gets much murkier. Perhaps a bit simplistically, or 
maybe just wrongly, I've always thought that it was the label's job to 
provide me with the output of the artists that they represent - thus my 
confusion about some of them not wanting to sell stuff to me.

The only thing that I would add is that dealing with selling your
stuff digitally is a different process than pressing up vinyl and it's
much less personal and fulfilling as a label owner/artist. The
collaborative effort is pretty much out the window. Not to say that
there aren't some great folks working at digital download sites. It's
simply not as much fun.
   
Right. Well there's one confusion resolved, as I had assumed none of 
this label stuff was particularly fun! ;)

And I'm not sure what you were saying about administrative costs T.
Depending on whether you do your own mastering or not, there are none.
But managing digital content and dealing with sites takes time. And
regarding that, refer back to my last paragraph. I find it quite a
pain in the ass. If the money were better I might change my tune. But
it's not good enough for me to at this point and considering how
entrenched iPods and the digital market is at this point, I wonder how
much more things could improve.
   
I think this bit may have been a miscommunication. I thought you said 
something about digital distribution being expensive towards the 
beginning of this discussion - I must have misunderstood that. Nothing 
to see here. Tumbleweed, etc.

And a last important point is that digital has the tendency to
invalidate the notion of an EP or LP, ie narrative, ie a more complex
listening experience. That  sucks. It really is not a nice feeling
that music consumers can and usually do ignore whatever you (the
artist, the label) were trying to communicate. It's great some digital
buyers pick up whole releases. And I also understand it's nice to just
buy the one or two tracks that you deem worthwhile and skip the ones
you think aren't.
I hear you. I remember reading similar in an interview with one of the 
guys from Autechre a while back as well. Personally, I feel like I've 
heard lots of narratives that really disappoint though, and cost an 
awful lot more due to accommodating more tracks. As a listener these 
days, I'm more interested in a couple of tracks that stand out, because 
more often than not, the tracks that complete the narrative don't stand up.


I'm not sure this is really about convenience either. It's about 
enjoying as much good music as my budget will allow, and I definitely 
feel like I'm getting more of what I want for less this way. That said, 
I love it when an album or an EP creates that narrative and I always buy 
it all if I feel like that's something that I'll get out of it.


I guess the key thing is that ultimately I don't care about whether or 
not the artist has a nice feeling about my purchasing or listening 
experience. That's a bit ruthless perhaps, but you could also argue that 
holding someone ransom to purchasing an entire release for one or two 
quality tracks is ruthless as well. Commerce is ruthless I suppose.

But almost nothing about digital is actually better
for art itself; it's all access, convenience, individual imperative.
And in fact it makes the art more homogenized, not in terms of content
but just about everything else, and disposable. So yeah. I don't
really like it and I can sure understand why guys like KDJ haven't
jumped into it yet.
   
Hmm... I can't say that I agree about this. If the pleasure of listening 
is obscured by the burden of encoding vinyl to a digital format that is 
more suitable to a lifetime spent commuting, then digital can be better 
for art. It means that more of the listener's time is spent actually 
listening. I know Thor has just said he spends more time browsing, but 
this isn't my experience of it at all. If I only listened to vinyl on 
turntables I wouldn't listen to much music at all. In fact, I probably 
see more of the cover art while listening digitally than I would with wax.

I'm actually working on a digital relaunch of the dL catalog like,
right now. And I'm working on a few new vinyl releases.

Well that's good news!

Absolutely it is, but I'm struggling to understand what's unfulfilling 
about providing music in an additional format - especially if there's 
less risk than there is through the other mediums already out there. Is 
it that the package itself is 100% essential? Is it a desire to enforce 
audiophilia by suppressing compressed formats? Is it that the 
administrative overhead of distributing mp3s is so high? Re: this last 
point JT, I'm very surprised by this - can you elaborate at all? Or is 
it some combination of all of this? I'm not trying to say any of these 
reasons are invalid I just don't understand why adding a format would 
somehow ruin the whole endeavour for somone unless the core impulse is 
to force everyone else to share their values about music formats.


And if alienating an audience is not a concern then why mass produce 
something at all?

It's a fair point Ken but one person isn't everybody and I can fully

Yeah, I'm aware that some people who switched to digital are feeling a 
longing for the physical object again. My primary reasons for switching 
are down to cost and the time involved in encoding vinyl digitally 
(since I listen about 99% digitally). I find these advantages compelling 
but I understand why the audio, tactile or packaging aesthetics of vinyl 
are more important to others. I just wish the few hold-out labels that 
refuse to publish digitally would realise that this only alienates 
buyers (some of them long-time fans). Rather, I'm sure they do but I 
wish they would care. I mean, there's been KDJ and Theo Parrish CDs for 
ages. Why not downloads? For me this just means their music fails to 
reach a large part of their audience. In fact, I might actually start 
buying the odd release on vinyl again if it were packaged with a digital 
copy of the tracks, or if you got a license to download them from the 
label website. As is, I have yet to encode the last album I bought - the 
Flying Lotus album, which I really would like to hear more than the once 
or twice I've put it on so far - which came my way some time last Autumn

Ahoy all! I've finally subbed up with another address to try and make my 
posting less sporadic.

ps. what do people make of the new KDJ LP?
Can't be bothered. And I can't be bothered with a £6 EP that isn't 
available digitally let alone anything more expensive. I've totally 
changed my shopping habits now. If a song isn't compelling on its own 
merits I don't buy it and if a release isn't cheaper than all the songs 
I want off of it then I don't buy the whole thing. Simple as that. It 
feels like I've liberated myself from the ransom of the physical medium. 
Which is not to say that I don't want to have the stuff on some of those 
records - just that I can't justify the spend when there is loads of 
individual tracks that I know I want and I can't even afford to buy all 
of them.

RE: (313) Theo Parrish on Coronation Street

[Tristan Watkins]

Coronation Street spotting is becoming a bit of an electronic music
community pass-time. There was a lovely T-Funkshun poster a few years back
(they're starting back up again, for those who care), and actually London's
To The Bone were featured on East Enders via an East Village poster not that
long ago. Evidence: http://www.phonopsia.co.uk/pics/EastEndersTTB.jpg 

Hannah pointed out the Theo Parrish poster the other day. We're beginning to
get numb to it I think. 

In other pop-culture spotting news, check page 40 if this month's DJ Mag for
a picture of me raving at last year's BLOC. Not an exciting picture
whatsoever, but it was a funny surprise when I got a text from a friend
about it this afternoon! 
 
On the [313] tip, and to tie this all together, I heard one of the latest
$tinkworx tracks on the lastest To The Bone podcast and was most impressed.
Excellent work J.T. I've been meaning to post about this for a bit but I log
on to this PC about once/week and I can't post to [313] with this account
from my other computer so I don't post much here anymore. I should just sign

 Well, not exactly.
 I was just sat down in the living room reading the paper and my wife
 asked me to turn on the TV on channel 11 cos Coronation Street (a fave
 of hers was on).  So, I turned it on and it was a street scene with a
 huge poster in the background, but in closeup, that said
 Theo Parrish
 Ame
 Todd Terry.
 Long scene, so I got to gaze lovingly at the poster for a few minutes!

 Don't get those types of street scenes here in lil' ol' Halifax NS

(313) Both mp3 and wav???

[Tristan Watkins]

So I bought a bunch of stuff on mp3 recently, thinking, oh it won't matter
if I play mp3 out. Then this debate went on and I half-persuaded myself it
matters. The one thing that I didn't see mentioned is that DJs often play
vinyl in various states of chewedness, and I bet some of that sounds worse
than mp3, but whatever - that debate has been and gone.

Anyway... the point of my post was going to be that I decided I wanted .wav
files for the weekend, so I just downloaded the tracks that I planned on
playing. The thing is, I reckon I've still saved money paying for some of
the files twice versus buying everything as .wav the first time through. I
only need wav files for the tracks that I'm definitely going to play out,
which is a minority of what I buy. This also saves on storage. And if I ever
just want a .wav for some reason I can buy it, knowing that this strategy
pays for itself in the long run.

Anyone else going about things in a similar (or better) way? I'm still new
to this digital shopping stuff.

 I only buy wavs. Not sure if i can really tell the difference 
 but if i'm going to pay money for something i want the best. 
 I can certainly hear the difference if i edit an mp3 and 
 re-encode it as an mp3 again.
 Almost like cassette.

Yeah, I'm sure that would probably be audible. But I'm pretty sure I can't
tell the difference between a good encoding at 320 CBR mp3 vs 16 bit 44KHz
wav when I'm listening at home. And I don't particularly want to increase my
storage requirements to four-five times what they would be with high quality
mp3. 

One thing that may not have been clear in my original post is that when
shopping at Juno, for instance, .wav or flac costs more money. They are
generally about £.50 more than 320 kbps mp3. So if the average cost of a
track in 320 kbps mp3 is £1.49 or £1.99 for wav, and I buy 100 tracks,  if I
then decide I only want to play 20 of them out I save money overall on the
purchase price, despite having paid for twenty of the tracks twice. When you
factor in storage costs too, I reckon it's pretty compelling. 

But like I say, I'm interested in finding out if anyone else has ways of
dealing with this other than just buying uncompressed audio. I think there's
got to be a better way, and this is just the first way I've come up with.

October the 4th will see us in celebratory mode :
Please come help me celebrate my birthday as well as Süd´s 8th year birthday
on the 4th of October 2008

A great venue has been sourced out for the 4th, right in the heart of
Dalston .
This venue used to be an art deco cinema back in the day and is now being
used as a snooker halll . it still maintains some of it´s original features
though and we will be putting some magic into it with our own deco including
some great visuals by Valero Doval .
I'm currently very excited by Valero's work . His work encompasses art ,
design and illustration with a portfolio wich includes work for various art
magazines and publications including illustrations for the New York Times ,
artwork for various bands e.t.c.

For More on Valero :
http://www.valerodoval.com/

We have slightly increased capacity for this one as result of the last 2
parties being to packed .

We've enlisted the help of two of our favourite producers / dj´s to come
provide some top draw music on the night .

Scott Ferguson and Prosumer .

More on them :

Scott Ferguson ( Detroit - Ferris Park , Deep Vibes , International Dj
Gigolos, Kinda Soul Recordings )


With 17 releases under his belt as well as various remixes and appearance on
mixes and compilations , a forthcoming album on K Soul's ,  Kinda Of Soul 
imprint ( The album is out in October ) ; is fair to say that Scott is a
veteran in what he does .

A unique synthesis of Blues, Soul, Disco, House, and Techno music are echoed
in both Scott Ferguson’s productions and DJ sets. His jazzy and soulful
compositions, energetic club tracks and druggy slow-burners incorporate a
blend of engaging rhythms with conscious themes. A perfect blend of
awareness and unique style makes Ferguson stand on his own and is embraced
by music lovers around the globe.

In 1994/95 Hungry and seeking knowledge, Scott Ferguson connected with local
DJs at Zoots, The Sardine Bar, and warehouse parties at the Packard Plant
and Bankle Building where Detroit’s electronic music sub-culture thrived.
Attending raves and clubs on a weekly basis, Scott became immersed in the
scene as well as starting his own collection of House and Techno records. He
never looked back since .

2002 saw the launch of Ferrispark with the hit ep , „Dump Days . this ep
went on to receive accolades from the press across europe and many parts of
the world and won him fans left right and centre . those fans included some
of the biggest names in electronic music - Louie Vega, Terry Hunter, Frankie
Knuckles , Stacey pullen , Dj Hell , Terence Parker e.t.c. to name but a few
.

Scott continues to dazzle audiences all over with a packed european tour in
october , stopping over here @ Süd , Berlin , Holland , Belgium and many
more cities .

Prosumer ( Berghain /Panorama Bar , Ostgut , Running Back , Playhouse )


Achim Brandenburg aka Prosumer has been a fervent collector of music for
years . Resident at world renowned Berghain/Panorama Bar  has had a stint
behind the counter at another Berlin institute ; HardWax .

Here is what Prosumer has to say about his sets and music in general :
 My heart is beating for early Chicago -Detroit techno records and for
music thats similar and transports this feeling today . Generally i like
producers who follow their feeling and who work on a personal style which
caters for longevity , rather than a momentary kick . 

Prosumer is not only a dj but he is also a producer . he released his debut
ep on Swayzak’s 240 volts label in 2004 then followed the smash hit  The
Craze  in 2005 on Playhouse . Soon he was in 

RE: (313) New things.

[Tristan Watkins]

The 2562 album 'Aerial' is fairly insane. One of the better techno things
I've heard in a while, and I'm told it's dubstep. Following a thread about
newer dubstep stuff on Disception recently I picked these up too:

TRG/Dub U - Losing Marbles [Hotflush Recordings] 
Pangea - Deviant [Hessle Audio UK] 
TRG - Feel For You [Subway Holland] 
TRG - Missed Calls [Subway Holland] 
Kontext - Plumes [Immerse]

Other new [313]-related stuff:

Kenny Larkin - Keys Strings Tambourines [Planet E US] - I like it, but I
think Glob is the only really essential track on it. I'm one of the few who
likes a fair amount of his recent stuff, so much so that I think the
Narcissist is better than this. 

I got three EPs from Kadebostan. All are excellent. Check them out. I
suspect he's French, so not sure why I'm mentioning them as though they're
[313] related, but it's good stuff. I suppose Freude Am Tamzen is a [313]
tangent. 

I finally caught up with all the Terence Dixon stuff on Yore, End to enD and
Nice  Nasty. There's tracks on all of these that are worth grabbing. Proper
techno. 

The Dedicated JB track from Stereocity on Deep Explorer.

Inverse Cinematics - The Rise  Fall (Sam Irl remix) [Pulver Germany]

All the Workshop stuff that I hadn't already picked up.

The Mole's I've Got My A1 and When It Tastes So Good, You Deserve It

Roland Appel's Lost Valley and New Love

Mujaba's Fuelta

Three of the tracks on the latest Secondo album on Soul Jazz

The Asphalt - 8 Mile Road (Juju  Jordash mix) [Deep Explorer]

All of the CIMA stuff. Massive Wayne Gardiner catch-up business. That and
the Wayne Gardiner's Classic Man Nervous Tracks.

Buying stuff digitally is good! I got some other stuff too that ain't very
[313]-relevant which I'll probably review on my blog before too long.

 On a side note, the word from Berlin now is that people are 
 pretty sick / burnt out on the whole mnml techno thing and 
 the trend is really going towards playing proper house music.
 I know a couple of my friends who moved over there are now 
 playing super housey compared to what they did two years ago...

We're starting to notice the same thing in London. I think there have been a
lot of people plugging away in the background who have helped this change
along though, and a bunch of other people who never stopped doing what they

 This should be said: Techno is a lot bigger than 
 Berlin-minimal, and one could remain a Techno DJ and never 
 touch a track from Richie or Magda's USB drive.  There are 
 many DJs -- Claude Young, Dan Bell, Rob Hood, Buzz Goree, Ken 
  Karl Meier, Alan Oldham, Mike Huckaby  come immediately to 
 mind -- who stay more on the techno side of the fence and 
 still manage to do interesting, dynamic, butt-moving sets.
 
 And of course, all of the people mentioned above will drop a 
 house record if it fits what they're doing.

What I'm finding interesting is that it's not just that mnml DJs are
changing their tune(s) but that promoters are booking guests who would have
been outside of their comfort zone 18 months ago. For instance the Run
parties here in London were ostensibly quite mnml (and/or minimal) and now
they have Alton Miller booked for their next party. I really wouldn't have
seen that coming. Have a look at their past guests and you'll see what I
mean: http://www.runsounds.com/events/

Another thing that I think might be unique about this is that it's a younger
crowd who are now being fed unapologetic deep house. And quality older house
as well. This trend has nothing to do with being the most current (yet). God
knows in what horrible way this will get compartmentalised and repackaged
over the next year or two if the trend persists, but it's an interesting
moment Right Now, for whatever that's worth.

 really nice because of the lower tempo.
 
 Generally I find them a bit hit and miss but when they get it 
 right

Had 'Solitaire' http://www.discogs.com/release/1254127 on a couple of times
today. Possibly my favourite yet (although I don't own them all). Come With
Me and Moonhacker are wicked. Dig the others as well, but these stand
out.

that's very handy, thanks for sharing :)
so where are the good places to eat on here?  any recommendations anyone? 
(for places that are walking distance downtown, we won't have a car 
unfortunately...)

Wow, that's really useful!

Two things I'd add near the festival are The Sweetwater Tavern near St. 
Andrews and the Loco Bar and Grill in Greek Town. Both are very close by.
