Hi Hans,

Where are you heading and how long will you be here? I'm down in Nagoya but 
know Tokyo fairly well. Labels I'd suggest are Crue-L and Mule. Echigoya 
music/FiveG are worth checking out in Tokyo too.

Regards,

 Dear 808,
 
 happy anniversary. I'm heading over to Japan for a while. Do you have any 
 particular locations to recommend that might play good stuff? I'm not only 
 looking for clubs but bars or venues in general. Furthermore, I'm interested 
 in record  fashion labels... Basically, anything that might be considered 
 'real' subculture (not only the looks!). I checked out a couple of sets 
 recorded in Japan. So far, what I deemed interesting is:
 
 Club Dommune, Record Store Jazzy Sport... 
 
 Oh and if you know any Japanese producers  DJs I'm keen to have a listen, 
 too.

I live in Nagoya, but been to Tokyo enough to know the place half decent.
 
Clubs; Eleven is run by the same people as Yellow and in the same space - sadly 
been to neither as Yellow closed before I got here. Good clubs are Unit, Air 
not been to Module, Warehouse 702 but heard they're good. Then there is Womb, a 
huge club, sometimes great sometimes not so great, depends entirely on the 
night really and who is DJing.
 
Record stores; definitely check out Shibuya, really good 'Banana Records' 
there, not too expensive as they deal in new  used.
 
synth shops; not sure whether this is relevant at all, but everytime I'm in 
Tokyo I make sure to call into www.echigoyamusic.com, this and a place called 
FiveG are crazy. Lined wall to wall with synths, fx etc... friendly staff, free 
to test the stuff out. Some (most) of the stuff is pricey but you can find some

the Carlton Arms not too long ago.  All the rooms are decorated with
different themes by different artists... pretty cool idea.  BUT, beware,
my friend got stuck in a room with murals of winged transsexual
she-beasts.  so, you know, the place probably isn't everyone's cup of

I've been more of an online music shopper since I moved to NYC, but I do
like Etherea (Ave A btw 4th and 5th streets), A1 Records (6 St btw 1st Ave
and Ave A), Other Music (4th St btw Broadway and Lafayette).  Dance Tracks
also usually has a decent Detroit/UR selection, but they treat me like a
prick every time I go in there so I stopped giving them business.



Also any good record shops I should be wasting money in?

 my mate always goes in 'sound library'. which appears an expensive shop,
 but he gets me some bits sometimes and they're half the price you'd pay
 off
 a dealer here. and they always seem to have good things in stock. also the
 fleamarkets are supposed to be hot but I dont know where they are.

 this is all for old stuff though.

Hi There,

A friend forwarded this review to me so I thought I'd make a short response.
While I don't have a problem with someone finding my set boring, I do feel
the need to address the 'lazy DJ' issue.  

When I approached the decks the master fader on the mixer was all the way up
with the level completely red, the channel levels equally hot, and the
Mackie monitor to my right blown out.  This left me with the tiny monitor to
my left that was already clipping.  Given the fact that this was an art
gallery with no 'sound guy', I couldn't really have turned the levels down
and turned the house sound up.  So, I had to wing it.  I was often spending
too much time trying to hear myself to appear 'less lazy'.  It is true that
one track did run out in the process though the next beatmatched record was
brought in before the next measure had even run out.  But hey, you can't win
em all. 

The truth is that I don't tour Europe and play like that, because these
conditions do not present themselves in Europe.  In any case, I thank you
for coming and dancing (footloose indeed!).  There's a partial mix up on my
site that is more typical of what I like to do with a couple of turntables.


All the best,

 The Move from Vinyl to CD

 After some time (I wanted to move to CD in 1997) I have finally got a
 machine that I believe is sonically and technically up to the job of
 replacing the hallowed and much loved 1210. I was originally asked to
 demo the Technics CD deck in New York at the beginning of the year but I
 didn't have the space in my calendar, however after finally getting my
 hands on one I have concluded that I will now switch over to CDs in the
 short term, this will take some time and allow me to road test the
 machine in clubs. Initially I will bring my own, but would appreciate
 any promoters that read this and have budget to either hire or buy, to
 supply 2-3 of them, eventually my technical rider will change and any
 one with questions can send either an email to my office or speak to my
 road manager direct. Please note that Pioneer/Denon or other makes of CD
 decks will not be used, furthermore technical 1210s will still be needed.

 I know some of you flat earthers will be upset, but whilst I love vinyl
 its time has been written on the wall for ages and I felt that Final
 Scratch and Albeton live wasn't for me in terms of interface and sound
 quality (although some djs have their own valid and difference
 opinions). In my mind at the moment the pros outweigh the cons, it will
 speed up the both mine and other producers music to clubs (being cheaper
 for smaller labels/artists), the bass frequencies will be fatter and
 stereo (in non bridged systems), the flexibility in mixing techniques
 not available to vinyl (and some computer systems ) are exciting, and it
 uses a standard that is already tried and tested. The only cons that I
 can think of are slower load up time than vinyl and inability of titling
 each CD with vdu outlet to a central LCD. I believe these are not
 unsurmountable problems.

 I must also say that this is an entirely professional decision, I am not
 sponsored by this company.

 Finally
 Notice to promo/record companies and artists:
 Please from now on can you send both vinyl and CD of all singles/albums
 that you feel suit the material that I play out e.g.: Novamute, Ruskin,
 inigo Kennedy, Victim, end2end, twilight, 76, turbo, Birmingham Boys,
 DiskoB, Gigolo, electrix etc. etc. etc. Can all CDs please be labelled
 clearly as cdrs without writing/print can easily be lost, also please
 dont forget to finalize, and if it has been professionally mastered
 please label production copy. Only 16bit 44.1 will be played, mp3 will
 be ignored. Finally, if you can afford to, than please send any back cat
 on CD if you know I have been a fan!

 Many many thanks

Shame you can't hear the vocal, that really adds to the song.
There's a Levan mix on DHP, I think the second part of the 'chioce closing
night' where Larry plays the track two times in a row. 
The original is very hard to find, so I'm also interested in this boot.
Any more info anyone?

 Did anyone here go to T in the Park this weekend and
 catch Carl Craigs live set?
 
 I didn't.

Me neither - I was only there yesterday, and Carl Craig's set was on the
Saturday. Heard brilliant reports from mates who were there though...

Caught a bit of Jeff Mills yesterday evening though which was excellent,
he's really on fire at the moment...
 
 I reckon theres a high chance of the BBC 4 stuff being repeated. I missed
 all the programmes.

Apparently they'll be showing highlights on BBC1 and BBC2 Scotland over the
next couple of weeks. They showed a few minutes of Jeff Mills last night,
and I'm pretty sure there will be some of the Carl Craig set on future
programmes...

On Saturday's TV highlights they had an interview with Marco Bernardi in his
Carlos Adolfo Dominguez guise which was supposed to be hilarious, I hope
they repeat this :)

Re: (313) track ID

2004-06-30 Thread Tom Churchill
Sorry for the delayed reply on this one, just got back from a week away to
find a 313 email mountain!

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

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

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

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

(313) Quick Sonar report

2004-06-21 Thread Tom Churchill
Music highlights for me were:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 Am I right in thinking Mark  Moritz Von Oswald played in Glasgow on

Not quite, it was actually Scion doing their 'arrange and process Basic
Channel' live set...
 
 Tom as well?

Yep, doing an 'arrange and process Emoticon/Headspace' live set :) Plus Joe
Claussell in the other room...
 
 How was it? Anyone go?

It was a pretty good night, spoiled only by a pretty ropey sound system in
the Scion room which didn't really do any of the music justice. The
afterparty at the Unit was suitably messy, Max 404 rocked it and I carried
on playing records until the mixer packed in...
 
 Were they doing a live type thing, or just playing records with tikiman
 toasting?

It was a twin-laptop Ableton setup. But Mark and Moritz did come up with
Tikiman a couple of months back to do the records  toasting thing...

Here's some pretty good pics of me, Scion and Joe Claussell if you're
interested: http://www.archstanton.net/g01/traxxmp0406/index.html

Re: (313) Glasgow

2004-06-15 Thread Tom Churchill
 Then Scion came on, after about 10 seconds it was
 obvious that the sound system couldnt handle the bass
 they were trying to put through it - not sure if there
 was a problem with the system or if it simply wasnt up
 to the task, although im sure the Traxx boys know the
 bass that the Basic Channel tracks have and would have
 thought the sound system would take that into account.
 Perhaps Tom can give some info on that?

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

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

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

Tom

I haven't posted for a while, so it's unfortunate that the first time I do
post again it is to share bad news: the publishing company behind Jockey

The new issue - the first in the new 3-monthly format - has just been
printed and will be on sale in the usual outlets, but will be the last issue
for the forseeable future. Annoyingly, the problem was said to be due to
financial difficulties with another unconnected part of the company's
business, not that the mag itself wasn't selling enough. There goes another
mag willing to write about techno, then.

 they cant do a decent re-press?)

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

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

Cheers,

Tom

The new DJ Rels on Stone's Throw is killer - like Theo Parrish goes West

 admittedly, the big band didnt just play old numbers, they played a couple
 of his compositions too

When I saw them in Sonar last year they were playing only his compositions
(i.e. the tracks from the Goodbye Swingtime album), no 'old numbers' at all
- is the current tour different then? I'm going to see them in Edinburgh
tomorrow...

I know what you're saying about it not being 'cutting edge' as such because
of the use of a retro form of instrumentation - but I enjoyoed it as a
musical performance. Some bits of it work better than others but I still
think this project has a pretty interesting and unique approach...

Re: (313) Scion/Moritz Von Oswald in London

2004-04-05 Thread Tom Churchill
 Did anyone see Scion on Friday?
 
 or Moritz Von Oswald Sunday night?

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

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

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

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

(313) Kraftwerk last night

2004-03-21 Thread Tom Magic Feet
Just to say how much I enjoyed the Werk gig at Brixton last night. I mean, I
kind of knew I would, but was pleased not to be disappointed in any way. I
loved and revelled in every minute of it. They were just... magnificent. I
met up with friends and ran into a few others by chance, plus of course saw
some 313ers there too. The whole thing felt like a real celebration, of the
band themselves and their music, but also of electronic music in general.
(Even despite the couple in front of us, who talked amongst themselves the
whole way through, mostly not even facing towards the stage).

What's been slightly disappointing have been the reviews I've read today in
both the Independent and the Observer newspapers of the Thursday night show
at the RFH, with both reviewers (Simon Price and Kitty Empire) repeating the
tired old cliche that - to quote Empire by way of example - 'Kraftwerk's
austere music has brought them misguided accusations of being fascists'.
Neither reviewer is suggesting that they ARE fascists, of course, but I do
think this is one of the lamest examples of music hack cliches that I've
seen recently. I mean, if they're misguided accusations, then why repeat
them? What's the point? All you do by doing that is perpetuate them.

Once again though, a great night that I'll remember for a long time.

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

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

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

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

Some Glasgow events coming up soon:
March 27: Arne Weinberg  Matt Chester

(313) Fw: THROBBING GRISTLE - The Taste Of TG - Out 3rd May

2004-03-11 Thread Tom Magic Feet
THROBBING GRISTLE
The Taste of TG
A Beginner's Guide to the Music of Throbbing Gristle
Release Date - 3rd May 2004

When dubbing Throbbing Gristle as the Wreckers of Civilisation, the late
Tory MP Sir Nicholas Fairbairn couldn't have provided the industrial
music/art/guerrilla media troupe with a better manifesto. For Genesis P.
Orridge, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Peter Christopherson and Chris Carter, Throbbing
Gristle advocated total musical and personal freedom and the
self-empowerment to achieve it. Between 1975 and 1981 they troubled
eardrums, shattered preconceptions and changed lives, and the repercussions
of their sonic, ideological and industrial experiments are still being felt
today.

These repercussions were most recently highlighted by some of today's
electronic peers paying homage to TG's pioneering experiments. Mutant TG
(novamute) is the first ever TG remix collection whereby contemporary
producers such as Carl Craig, Two Lone Swordsmen and Simon Ratcliffe provide
stunning reworks of classic TG.

Now with The Taste Of TGyou can sample their unadulterated majesty, a
Beginner's guide to the enigmatic and elusive Throbbing Gristle.

Unlike many of their punk peers Throbbing Gristle deployed their music as a
weapon attacking the apparatus of the music industry. TG set up their own
imprint, Industrial Records, for the distribution of their noises and even
incorporated the art gallery practice of making special limited edition
hand-assembled LPs, pre-packaged videos and live cassettes. In addition,
they sent out regular pop profile communiqués, including special postcards,
patches and badges, which detailed the activities of the various members.
Nothing was beneath them.

TG have never been afraid to confront, confound and expose. Whilst 1978's
'United' sounds like an eerie football chant referencing occultist Aleister
Crowley's Love Is The Law., over a crackled electro groove, its B-side -
named for the chemical used in Nazi death chambers, 'Zyklon B Zombie' was
deliberately recorded so as to sound like it was being broadcast through a
haze of gas. Other equally disturbing TG classics include the queasy
'Hamburger Lady', where Genesis intones a letter describing the plight of a
woman with horrific fat burns in a feeble voice echoed by nagging
electronics. TG also often displayed a more harmonious and gentle side that
was adeptly shown on their most accessible album, 1979's 20 Jazz Funk
Greats and the disco hypnosis of 'Hot on The Heels of Love' whilst
'Weeping' originally from The Third And Final Report reverberates
beautifully around four types of acoustic violin through a space echo.
Indeed, if tracks such as 'Dead On Arrival' further underpin TG's status as
electronic funk pioneers then the ultra-disturbing and grating 'We Hate You
(Little Girls)' seems only to further prove that TG were and still are
unique outsiders who consistently buckled the mould and in doing so laid the
foundations for today's maverick producers. As Throbbing Gristle were to
later state. We wanted to re-invest Rock music with content, motivation and
risk. Our records were documents of attitudes and experiences and
observations by us and other determinedly individual outsiders. Fashion was
an enemy, style irrelevant.

Chris Carter, Peter Christopherson, Genesis P-Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti
have announced that they will briefly regroup to present RE~TG, a weekend of
music, art, film and performance culminating in an exclusive set by
Throbbing Gristle, live for the first time in 23 years and never to be
repeated. This is the final ever TG show.

The location will be Pontin's Holiday Resort, Camber Sands, Sussex, UK.
 RE~TG will take place on 14th-16th May 2004.

Also available:

TG+ released on Mute on 26th January 2004 - contains CD releases of the
final ten live Throbbing Gristle shows, the companion to the legendary TG24
box set.

Mutant TG released on novamute on 29th March 2004 - remixes of classic TG

(313) Fw: Detroit Grand Pubahs New Album

2004-03-10 Thread Tom Magic Feet
ARTIST: DETROIT GRAND PUBAHS
TITLE: GALACTIC ASS CREATURES FROM URANUS
LABEL: POKER FLAT
FORMAT: 2 x CD / 2 x 12
CAT. NO.: PFRCD11 / PFRLP11
RELEASE DATE: 26th APRIL 2004

The seminal electro-funk outfit from Detroit returns with a second album.
'Galactic Ass Creatures From Uranus' spans a full variety of minimal techno,
dirty P-Funk, raw hip-smart booty beats and downbeat electronic grooves -
all spiced-up with a healthy portion of humour, cartoon sexuality and the
search for the perfect booty. As ever the vocoder-pitched vocals by Paris
The Black Fu and the other odd characters mark their distinctive signature
sound.

Founded in 1998, the Pubahs group around producer and vocalist Paris The
Black Fu and his forked personalities. Their first single, 'Sandwiches',
became a huge worldwide club hit overnight and made it into the Billboard
dance charts as well as in the UK Top20 sales charts. The album 'Funk All
Y'all' was released in 2001 on the now defunct Jive Electro imprint. Since
then, the Pubahs completed a world tour and started working on 'Galactic Ass
Creatures From Uranus'.

Again the new album is brimful of straight forward booty tracks, raw Funk
and weird skits, but this time relaxed downbeat electronic grooves enrich
the Pubah's sound cosmos and make the 'Galactic Ass Creatures From Uranus' a
state of the art electronic album whilst of course being great fun to listen
to.

Smoothly starting with 'Landing in Detroit', the second track 'God
Impostors' makes a pure funk statement, before the emotional Electro track
'Surrender' leads over to 'Big Onion'. 'If you like the way I drop my funk:
just shake it!' Next up is the darker side of the album with 'Definition of
Sick' and 'Dead Presidents', before the epic 'Tig O' Bake Fitties' lays out
a downtempo funk ode to natural body parts. The beautifully gentle lounger
'Bite The Pillow Talk' lets you take breath for some more punchy booty beats
on 'Freak' and 'Weed in the Kitchen'. 'The Clapper' picks up on the sleeve
design and reports from another alien intrusion in that typical Detroit
Grand Pubahs style. After already introducing Dick Cannon ('Bite the Pillow
Talk', 'Training With Dick Cannon') Bill Crosby ('Weed In The Kitchen') and
Dirty Elvis DePorno ('Freak') amongst Paris The Black Fu we also meet Nurse
Hurse again, a character that was initially involved on the debut album.
Finally, the hypnotising 'Novacane' sets a speech by Malcolm X to music.

The first 12 outtake (The Clapper feat. Jesper Dahlback remix, pfr38) from
the album has already stirred quite a buzz and made it into many club charts
including the official German Dance charts. The next single 'Big Onion'
(feat. Joakim remix, pfr43) will be released in March and will come with a
video. The most prominent guest musicians involved in the album are Scott
Sumner (engineering) and Randall G. Lynch (guitar) who are regular studio
musicians for George Clinton.

The album release will be supported by an extended European tour starting in
late February in Dublin. Paris The Black Fu is also organising a Funk Stage
on the 10 Days Off festival in Belgium in July.
