them all sound their best on the system and you should be golden.  No?

Doesn't the 32 have the gains on the back so you literally have to blindly
reach behind the mixer? Completely impractical.

For fast and aggressive EQing and x/channel fading the Pioneer is far more
sturdy than AH I find. For smooth, delicate mixing the 62 wins hands down.
This is comparing a 600 with a 62.

I have AH XONE 32. Except the fact it has 3 channels, it already beats 
every pionner I got in hands (300,500,600) though i've never tried the 800.

Anyways I dont think Pioneer have changed thier stupid EQs cutting 
everything when you low too much the bass. AH are soft, precise, and 
still have punchy efft. Hooray for the filters aswell.

So forget Pioneer... Now between 62 and 92 I would say 62 becasue its 
cheaper, and for the extra $$$ 92 doesnt bring much more technically 
talking (except if youre fan of all these hawtinesque concetual effects 
and stuff).

(313) Blade Runner sampling

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

Anyway, are there any other tracks which sample from the soundtrack?
Are any of them any good?


Re: (313) Blade Runner sampling

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

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

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

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

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

Both are great releases in their own rights though.

He is also Timo Mass' production partner (responsible for that mix of
Azzido Da Bass' Dooms night a few years ago that blew the f*ck up),
and is also Production partner for all the current super hits on M_nus
etc that bear Locodice's name.

Does anyone else think that there is something a bit odd about this
production partner moniker?

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

Not sour grapes or anything, but I think it's an interesting situation.
I wonder how many of these co-productions are actually that.

they don't let you know who the guest teachers/speakers are going to be

I'm definitely going to keep some sort of blog while I'm there, and the

RE: (313) techno live acts

2006-05-23 Thread Simon Hindle
We just had Modeselektor play for us here in Sydney and they were really bloody 
good. They've been playing live for AGES now and are really tight. They put on 
a great show, and their sound is just so fkin HUGE!

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

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

And also props to Lidell, Andy Vaz and Monolake as well, all of whom I've seen 
this year and really rated.

(313) Techno on the otherside .. NZ

2006-04-26 Thread Simon Kong


  This post is for everyone having a cry baby about DEMF

  ..

   Stacey Pullen came to play in Wellington NZ the other week.

   By some sheer accident I ended up making a one way 16 hour
   road trip to see him play, and a flight home at 8am.

   A good friend also flew in from Sydney for the occasion so
   it was really cool to be connected by Techno.

   Mostly I just wanted to say to the list that in some places in
   the world we rarely get to hear Techno.  New Zealand has had
   three US producers visit in the last two years.

   You may recall me writing in about Carl Craig last year.

   I go bug for Techno especially Detroit styles. It is the only music
   that makes me dance like Sven hugs or no hugs.  It's the only
   music that motivates me to dance at all these days.

   Stacey was just brilliant, and I don't care for the politics.

   He got on the decks at 2am and was still playing when I had to get
   to the airport at 7am.  It was a sonic inspiration for me .. and was
   twice as cool cause the dance floor was full .. unlike Carl Craig. wah.

   While I can understand the frustrations of the DEMF line up .. I think
   you need to look at the greater context of what the scene is able to
   support.

   New Zealand has small population, and so a very small Techno scene.

   Our ability to foster our own scene, let alone have events or festivals
   that feature Techno artists is very very limited.

   On a global scale Techno is still a very underground sound.  Over here
   where I am sitting . the DEMF does heaps to put Techno on the Map.

   Locally .. I would probably be upset as well.  However the opportunity
   still remains to use the focus on the DEMF to raise the awareness of
   the 313 sound  .. and it's affiliations.

   I think the Line up is that evil balance between commercial and true.

   However on any given day it's a line up I would very much like to see, and
   from a global perspective I think its a very interesting representation of
   how far the influences of Detroit music have traveled.

   I think Detroit heads have a lot of heritage to be proud of, and while there
   is obviously a strong local scene that is looking for representation.  I 
think
   you have to appreciate that due to the musical foundations of Detroit
   many people from around the world now share in the positive influence.

   Somehow in the face of all the commercial dance scenes around the world
   Techno has managed to hold onto it's integrity.  The artists listed are by no
   means heavy hitters in the commercial dance scene.  They are a fairly gritty
   bunch of left field innovators of electronic sounds.

   For all the people that stand in Hart Plaza .. there are as many people all
   around the world who bring their attention to the goings on in Detroit.

   Promotion is the evil brother of Appreciation, and by all accounts the DEMF
   has been a constant battle from day one.

   I just want to send love and respect to the Festival and remind everyone
   having issues with the event, that some of us are still struggling to hear
   any sort of Techno once a year.

   DEMF does bring global attention.  We are listening out here on the edge.

 Probably fits nicely in the to hard basket ..

 But how else is niche scene like Techno suppose to make it in

   Now that we have entered the net-casting ' pod-casting era .. it changes
   the dimensions a bit, from a DJ handing out a Mix tape/CD to promoters
   and friends to the broadband access of many.

   So I suppose it comes down to a peer review again.  Since as far as I know
   no one has ever been prosecuted for handing out Mix tapes.

   So does anyone mind the publishing of Techno mixes online '

   Are the rules for making this okay ' that you publish a Tracklist and Links 
to
   artists pages where applicable?

   What if the site you are doing it through is making revenue from advertising
   on the hosting page?

   Obviously in the world of the net you can just do things, and get away with 
it.

   However here in NZ . our longest running Techno radio show the Stereo Nasties
   just got axed.  So we are considering net casting the show instead and would
   hate to upset people or step on toes by publishing copyright music online in 
a
   DJ mix format, while making some revenue in return for hosting the show.

   Are there any legal standards for this?  Are there any community thoughts 
about
   this ?  Are there any label or Artists on the list who have views about this 
?

   In one sense its no different from music played on a Radio Station  ' except 
the
   Internet is different and highly undefined

   Is it streaming vs downloading ?!  Any input appreciated ..

Re: (313) CD Mixers

2006-04-05 Thread Simon Kong



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

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


   I disagree slightly with your view on the Serato / FS systems ..

   I have mixed on nearly every system available to beat match and
   pitch mix.  I like all of them and would agree with the recommendation
   of the Pioneer CDJ series.

   Pioneer for all their little audio deficiencies, make very reliable gear that
   survives everything short of a Vodka Orange left to corrode circuits.

   The looping options are always quick and easy to use, with some of the
   models providing on the fly loop adjustment, loop memory .. etc etc.

   In regards to the Serato / FS systems .. I don't think you should underrate
   the tactile nature of a Turntable.

   One of the biggest issues with driving software ' or any digital system
   is the 'interface'.  While the Pioneer CDJ1000 is pretty good for giving
   you hands on control of music tracks .. I find a Turntable is still one of
   the most physically rewarding mediums of control.

   The bonus of linking a Turntable into software is that you can access all
   the additional functions that digital provides :: Looping, FX 'cue memory.

   Obviously you can learn the feel and intuition of any system, but the
   biggest problem I see facing most digital musicians is the interface.

   The physical nature of playing a real instrument allows the artist to add
   all sorts of flavor into their performance.

   While I love digital and the extra dimension of 'tweak' the access to the
   'tweak' is still a little clumsy or not as fluent as with familiar devices.

   To feel the weight of a Direct Drive Turntable under fingers is not really
   a comparison to the weight of a CDJ jog dial.  I think DJ's are lucky that
   digital has been brought to our old medium of control in such a quick
   and seamless fashion.

   However all things are learned ' and all systems have potentials that
   others do not .. and spending time with equipment is the best way to
   get the most out of it.

   Ideally I like to have Turntables  CDJ's and use everything ' hot starts
   loops ' and the run run crackle pop of vinyl ' its all toys ' its all good.

..

   Common failures I have seen on CDJ gear is the buttons. Primarily
   the Cue button which gets hit the most.  Another less common issue
   is the jog wheels getting jammed with dirt / grit / ash ..

   Beyond that I have bounced them on the road, poured liquid through
   them with out much of an issue ' other than cleaning and gaffer tape.

   And at the end of the day ' all you want it to do is work when you need it.

RE: (313) how Richie does it -- how do most do it?

2006-04-05 Thread Simon Hindle
I saw Stewart Walker a couple of months ago and he was basically using ableton 
and one of those doepfer pocket faderboxes running into a DJM600, nothing else.

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

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

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

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

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

Re: (313) CD Mixers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Check out 12AM Maternal at http://12ammaternal.blogspot.com/ - good collection 
of cosmic stuff there, lots of weird vintage stuff as well.

Slight segue - does anybody else have any mp3 blogs that they enjoy?

 I have to admit to taking some guilty pleasure in recent Lindstrom

 Any other recommendations?





(313) Classic beatdown tracks?

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

So what are the best beatdown tracks?

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



Re: (313) Classic beatdown tracks?

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

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

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

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

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

c*

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

Re: (313) New Rhythm Sound forthcoming...

2006-02-02 Thread Simon Kong



  It's interesting ..

   but this sound .. the minimal dub'esqu vibe .. was accused of killing
   the NZ Techno scene recently.

   We have been trying to revive the sound of techno here for a while.

   Since around 96 - 98 ' there has been little to negative action on the
   Techno front .. and in recent discussions on a local list .. it was
   mooted that the shift from long play hard bangers to more reverb
   shifting dub scape's .. killed the floor . and subsequently the scene.

   On the flip .. it's as if the vibe purposely went below the filter line
   to hide in the rusty clicks ' and tingling echoes .. waiting while the
   storm of utter crap to blew over ..

   Can we expect ' some point soon where the inverse will occur ..

   Where emerging from the timber of space hollow chambers ' the
   soul shifting damage of relentless rhythm lines unleash a new
   focus on this techno belief.

   ..

  da . it's an awful lot that you expect from one record these days ..

  but ' i never accepted the word seminal until I grew up ..

  ..

Re: (313) Rhythm (or) Sound

2006-02-02 Thread Simon Kong




  break out the love ' and let the bass shine through

  .simon




My take would be that these downtempo dubby songs are
the perfect warmup for moving into uptempo warm dubby things,
detroit techno, etc.  Many people associate techno with 
bang-bang-bang-bang,

but this would be a perfect juxtaposition to show them the
difference with the maurizio/rhythm and sound/basic channel/
chain reaction/juan atkins/infiniti/terrence dixon/robert hood/
redplanet et al that have a meditative dubby quality and yet
are great for dancing to. 



  We did arrive at similar conclusions .. that the success of
  presenting Techno in its width and scope was in how you
  programmed the evening ..

  A common factor with nearly everyone I speak to is the
   bang bang bang bang  misunderstanding of the sound ..

  VS. the penchant for old school techno Dj's to play something
  interesting (melodic/clangy) instead of dance floor orientated ..

  I suggest it goes further to the fact that Dj'ing is a skill being
  constantly underestimated.  Especially in regards to presenting
  techno .. which in truth requires a true understanding of pitch,
  tone and rhythm ..

  For the fact that most Dj's i know never quite understood in a
  musical  technical sense what someone like Jeff Mills is
  doing when he plays ..

  I think even outside selection .. much needs to be explained
  and expressed about the methods of playing the music .. in
  order for new generations to appreciate it.

  In NZ in particular .. a whole generation of dance heads have
  missed the particulars  finesse of properly presented techno.

  Infact ' nearly all Dj's I hear today adhere to strict beat matching
  policies .. working the 32  16 to perfection .. instead of reaching
  deeper into sonic conditions to find the harmonics shifting point.

  Wild Pitch ' Pitch Mix ' the drop ' the cut '

  Are people experiencing this out there ?


  Have we gotten over the sloppy attitude of

  I don't care about the mix .. I just play the music

  I can appreciate the approach of the collector ' valuing each tune
  for its content  context .. but are we going to see a rebirth of the
  musical DJ ' someone in tune with the records ' the sound system
  and the technology.

  as per usual . I feel the music is brilliant   .. where as the culture
  and understanding of the music as a condition mind is lacking.

  Classical music is strict and precise in its interpretation and
  representation of the music .. while techno contains complexity
  and depth to equal comparison .. we continue to digress our
  knowledge into 'bang bang bang

  How does the future evolve ?

(313) NZ techno ' . kind of .. .

2006-02-02 Thread Simon Kong


 Um .. nah . different Salmonella Tiki is different

   I live in Queenstown .. which is right down south ..

   which does not have a techno scene at all .. apart
   from my lounge . heh

   as for the nationwide scene ..

   we have had several visits in the past years ..

   um ..

  Carl Craig, Sutek, Superpitcher, monoake, Micheal Mayer
  Andy Vaz .. .

   and a few others . most of which I have missed .. but i did
   get to play with Carl last Feb.

   https://www.obscure.co.nz/gallery/one_city_with_carl_craig
   https://www.obscure.co.nz/gallery/superpitcher

   Of course .. Recloose is almost local now .. living up in Wellington

   and Fat Freddys Drop . could almost be considered Techno having
   played in Detroit two festivals ago ..

   on the production front .. Simon Flower from Nurture Recordings
   is keeping things alive ..

   Most of the scene is based around Auckland .. with some regular
   nights and occasional parties .. but attendance is low and motivation
   wavering alot of the time ..

   Otherwise on a more electronica level .. the impeccable Pitch Black
   and global runners Antix  ..

   Probably the most enduring artist is Son Sine aka. Rotor +, Epsilon Blue

   And Alpharythm from feral party roots.

   The NZ sound becomes infused very fast with other styles .. which
   I think is well represented through current Recloose sounds .. and
   the works of Pitch Black which are heavily dub influenced .. while
   Antix dissolve into breakbeat trance areas ..

   There is a growing laptop scene .. with the usual bleeps and glitch.

   Also several young producers on the cusp .. many are absorbed
   into Loop recordings .. which have a very broad musical profile.

   I guess the most appropriate term from NZ is electronica . and
   not Techno ... while we love the synth wash .. we can't avoid
   our island roots and return sweetly to the dub infusion ..

   Also our experimental history is strongly based on indy guitar rock
   and industrial noise .. so the resulting fringe of banging techno
   never quite makes it into popular divide.

   The most defining and seminal techno artist from the NZ scene
   Mechanism / Micromnism .. has become a Hari Krishna

   Otherwise in the pure Techno sense .. you must visit LRS
   creator of Obscure.co.nz and the Fun Poison party brand.

   https://www.obscure.co.nz/profiles/lrs
   http://funpoison.com/

  Have look through the FP site .. as it provides a really good history
  to the Wellington Techno scene from all the way back in 1993.

  Special love must be given to the Stereonasties ..

  https://www.obscure.co.nz/profiles/steronasties

  Who are the most continual committed and passionate girls for the
  most grinding hair raising techno performances .. playing four deck
  carnage to make the hardest player weep in submission.

   hmm .. when I write it all up there is an awful lot on our cards .. its
   just currently we don't have an audience ' that is connected enough
   to provide support.

  Action . taken has been to start a NZ specific techno mailing list
  called 909 .. and attempt to connect all the NZ producers, promoters
  Dj's and supporters in one space ..

  This action is supported through Obscure .. which is also driving a
  mailing list of a similar nature in Australia.

  Touring internationals always share dates with Australia .. so we are
  trying to create a more cohesive network to better facilitate visiting
  artist reaching all centers ..

  Further to this .. FP connections run deep into the Japanese scene
  keeping the channel open form Asian scene to interact.

  We are also working on direct detriot connections .. and some
  infiltration into deepest Europe.

  The individual passions are very high in NZ .. with many past
  and current players working all over .. Halogen Girl one of the
  original Techno DJs from early 90's now works with the Red Bull
  Academy.

  Flic . one of the perveyors of detriot  chicago sounds in welly,
  is now a mover in the London hip  breaks record scene.

  .. and the list continues ..

  my connections are varied and sporadic . with a terrible ability for
  memory so do not consider this definitive . but more a random
  thought flow about our scene ..

  Net labels are moving pretty fast in terms of providing excellent

 To much ..

  I remember finding this site years ago as well .. and it pretty much hooked
  me on to 313 .. etc .

  What really excited me was people writing about Techno .. not just music
  and names .. and parties .. but someone writing about ideas behind the
  music .. and culture of Techno ..

  Even today no one really talks about Techno culture .. we talk about records
  and labels and dj .. and producers .. etc .. which makes the culture

  this site got me really interested because ' here was someone on the other
  side of the world .. drawing similar conclusions to me after getting involved
  in the music ..

  either it was some fluke of freak .. or the music really can communicate
  complex ideas ..

   rhythmic coded tonal knowledge 

  I guess its all a bit hippy ravey to consider these concepts .. however if
  you look into where current research is taking us in terms of understanding
  the human brain .. and social communication .. etc  .. blah ..

  I for one still have a very strong relationship with the ideas that dancing
  and rhythm are really good ways for establishing community ..

  and beyond this practicing or experiencing .. ways of existing together


   .. .

  I used to be involved in large scale out door events .. for upward of 10'000
  people .. in hind site these were real interesting experiments into micro
  societies ..

  We tried to establish self sustaining fully recycling social environments ..
  and failed in rather spectacular ways ..  however these were safe places
  to experiment with new ideas ..

  city developers everyday try and push society in civilizations ' and fail
  but in rather unsafe ways .. getho dreams ..

  its interesting to note in my life .. that many of the people I used to party
  with `10 years ago .. are out in the community generally leading or working
  on a day to day basis to improve life, society, culture  ..

  while we do get hooked on the music . etc . etc ..

  I think the merits to techno always remain in the thinking commentary it
  provided .. it is always more than the party, or the weekend .. its about
  a way of life, or process of exploration into your environment ..

  its living in the future . with hope .. not dispare ..

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

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

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

It's the first piece of non-vinyl music I've bought in a lng time, and I

With these names in mind, maybe you can help me out. You know... people with a

Re: (313) The more things change

2005-11-03 Thread Simon Kong



i think techno lost it's ability to innovate or influence..

perhaps because we're all too critical..



  Hm .. I think the criticism is keeping techno alive.

  Every time someone plays me new dance music all I can hear is the influences
  or lack of .. from Techno.

  The more I listen to the sound and listen to the ethos develop the more I 
realize
  that Techno is the Jazz of dance music.

  This is obvious for so many reason, but I think the positive note is that 
because
  of this the music will survive, it will grow and change and evolve.

   I think criticism implies passion.  I don't like listening to crap, and tend 
to
   voice my opinions, especially in clubs and to Dj!  While in the moment I have
   gotten many dirty looks and jaded treatment ..

   ... time rolls around .. and a year later ..I am making the same comment to 
the
   same Dj in the same club . but pointing out to them how their sound has 
changed
   and or not .. because of XYZ ..

   .. slowly .. in my life .. friends and associates are staring to hear what I 
am listening
   too .. start to understand their own musical histories and begin to realize 
where the
   roots of sound really are.

   I have noticed in my dance world that while many people don't quite 
understand the
   music I play or talk about .. there is a developing level of respect for the 
approach
   I take to the music . to the sound ..

   This is not something about me .. but about Techno and the mindset you 
develop as
   you start to love the music.  I mindset towards innovation, history, legacy 
and culture.

   In the simplest way you grow up from being just a dancer into a dancing 
music lover.

   Jazz is a sound unique, that has a culture of its own in the music world.  
Everyone
   knows what jazz is, but many people don't like it .. in many similar ways to 
that
   people don't like techno ..

   But Jazz has a legacy of artists and fans with a uncompromising approach to 
the
   music .. a deep set passion to the essence that makes the music.

   You experience this externally as attitude, or criticism, jaded behavior.

   This is what keeps the music honest though, keeps it fresh, keeps it alive.

   It keeps the music from becoming everything else ..

   Eventually people seek the music out, they come in search of the honesty of 
the
   passion, of true music lovers.  People seek out a richer connection to the 
music
   to the dancing ..

   I am involved with many different sounds in the dance scene, and for me it 
is the
   discussion the critical appraisal, the defensive behavior that keeps it 
interesting
   keeps it real .. keeps it connected to the music.

   Frankly I'm not really interested in collecting the records, playing the 
records or
   even making them.

   I am interested in listening to the music, learning from the music, and 
expressing
   myself to the music.  And I have always been willing to protect the 
integrity of this
   process by being critical of music that is not suitable for this practice.

   If the music is fraudulent, trite, chart filling crap I have no problems 
indicating to
   those present the thin veneer of its substance.

   However if the music is good, if its true, you'll just find me dancing !!

   Don't even get me started on innovation and influence .. haven't you figured 
out
   that when any other style of dance music gets lost .. they listen to Techno 
..
   .. cut a loop and run with that for the next sixth months ..

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

That's all I gotta say - I just had to share it with you guys.

It's his take on post-punk - PIL, Gang Of Four, Devo, Talking Heads etc - much 
better than Energy Flash, less pretentious and much more thoughtful.
Mind you, I thought Reynolds was spot on about drugs and hardcore


I wouldn't say 'spot on'. He had a view and that view was open for discussion. 
In the beginning of the book his remarks on drugs made sense, but were more 
prominent  then needed. But near the end it became too much. All that talk 
about hardcore and whatever came after... it became boring... and made me stop 
reading it. There are very good parts in the book and he made sense most of the 
time, but it's just too long and too much.

Yeah, Canadian, very much flavour du jour at the moment. His music is 
electro-inspired and quite sparse, his big 'hit' is Decompression on Minus. I'm 
not really into much of his stuff; the only ones I really like are Followed By 
Angels and Marionette, and an early release he had on Perlon (Alpine Rocket). 
His sound is really clean, and his beats are seldom straight 4/4 jobs.

He doesn't DJ as far as I know, it's all live from him. There's a really recent 
liveset of his for download at 
http://www.zeracon.net/snd/mcs/MovingCity05_Mathew_Jonson.mp3

In a previous life, he remixed Nelly Furtado (of I'm like a bird fame).

He also has a side project called Cobblestone Jazz, which seems to be where his 
junglist penchant has taken him.

(313) Carl Craig in Belgium (track ID)

2005-08-29 Thread Simon Vrebos
Carl Craig played an absolute impressive set at the 'Pukkelpop' festival in 
Belgium a week ago. I haven't heard a set like that in years! (you really don't 
hear Detroit techno in Belgium - people are more into hard loops which is 
really sad). Anyway, he played Jaguar by Rolando like he did before. It's the 
beatless version and lasts maybe ten minutes (I presume). Which one is it? Is 
it out on vinyl or is it CC's private CDR?

P.S.: Derrick May also played at the same festival, but he dissapointed me big 
time - too much loops, ordinary techno. I couldn't care less.


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

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

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

I know Mad Mike's version and that's not what C2 played in Uppsala, Sweden, a

the riff is doubled by some sort of bass sound, and the melody repeats forever, 
right?

 Dear Discogs User,

As you will have noticed, Discogs has been offline now since yesterday.
We experienced a cascade of problems with the servers yesterday that ended
with the whole site inaccessible to everyone including the system admin's.
Since then, we have been working hard on a solution to getting us up and
running again. Thankfully, this server that hosts the help.discogs.com
site has been revived, and this may allow us to get the whole site running
again. However, this is an extremely technical job, and may take some
time to complete.

As sod's law dictates, we have four brand new servers already ordered
and will be installing them by the middle of July. These should ensure
we don't experience an outage such as this again.

We apologize, and ask you all the be patent while we try and figure out
a solution. In the meantime, if you need to contact me or another Discogs
user with an urgent matter, please use the form below, and I will try
and help.

Re: (313) the orb on kompakt??

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1) Buying a legit copy of Virtual Sex on eBay - the artists don't get paid
2) Downloading it or putting in on tape - the artists don't get paid
3) Leave it - the artists... well... they don't get paid

Bootlegging is a reality and downloading is a reality... I did bought a bootleg
