FW: [313] Let's All Dance
As far as the not being able to hear thingy...that just means the system was crap. If the system is bumpin' you should not only be able to dance, What about those annoying whistleblower dudes, and those guys that holler 'whoop whoop' every now and then. They piss me off in a big way. The highly unpleasant whoop, whoop thing is now a terrible WORLDWIDE phenomena- I've been to Barcelona, New York, Detroit, London and many other places which seem to have been affected- I blame Pat'n'Mick (one for the UK audience) Jason Brunton Iridite -- End of Forwarded Message - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [313] dd's 1st course in hygiene
hooray! glad to hear someone outside of ireland is lovin' this album. eamonn doyle and d1 records deserve recognition for their brilliant releases over the last few years - and this is, without question, their flagship record so far. I haven't heard that album yet but I've really liked each release on that label and also from Ireland the Freestate 2 release from a few months ago really blew me away Jason Brunton Iridite - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Listmembers! Does anyone have an e-mail address for Arron Carl- I've really hit a brick wall with this one? Cheers Jason Brunton Iridite - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [313] agents of change
That's just the way it always is at a packed venue where people want to watch the artist. Too bad people couldn't watch and dance at the same time! At the recent Melkweg gig in Amsterdam there were about 5 or six large video screens at the front of the dancefloor with cameras pointing at Jeffs' hands- still very busy on the dancefloor though Jason Brunton Iridite - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's a strange affair with tracks from R-Tyme (Use Me Carl Craig mix), The Electric Company (Bob Leonarduzzi, Zach Roberts and Eddie Watson), Resse and Santonio (Truth of Self Evidence) and Keith Tucker (Emerald World)- and I rushed home excitedly to put my new found gem on the turntable. Unfortunately the guy in the store had put the wrong record in the sleeve and I was flying back to Scotland the next day. I only recently checked out the record in the sleeve to find that out that I had a different volume of the same series and that this one had tracks by John Tejada, Teknotika, Santonio Echols and others. Which finally brings me to my point- does anybody know who would have put these records together and what is on the other volumes? There is a little speech at the bottom of the sleeve-- I should thanx so many people for their support If I forget any one I should thank no one, except Mad Mike for his help (and his letters), Chez Damier cause he knows what love is. A special thanx to my Daddy who gave me peace, strength and tranquility and the brand new B.P.M Dream Team Sylvian, Jerome, Eric. Stop to waste your time with drugs!!

Re: [313] Jeff Mills interview on-line
In my simple universe I have a simple theory : there are 2 kinds of music. Techno ( and all related genres ) is music with no message, you can't understand it, it beholds no meaning than the sound itself. You have to listen to it with your belly, your abdomen. It's music that you have to completely endure, let it flow through your body. It envokes a trance, like the shaman repeating mantra's over and over. You have to feel it, feel the bass through your flesh. It's overwhelming, even threatening to those not willing to assimilate. The music exists in itself, as an assembly of tones, rhythm. Tribal music ( remember Burundi Black ? ) was the first techno imho. It aims for the legs. The music is the essence. The music IS the message. I think that we are listening to different forms of Techno-a lot of people categorise Techno as the more tribal, banging stuff but Kenny Larkin War of the Worlds and most stuff by B12, Orlando Voorn and many, many others don't fit into this area- they provoke an entirely different response in me than endure when listening That's why I don't consider Jean-Michel Jarre's Oxygene or Vangelis' music as precursors of techno, although the music sounds techno, it has not that raw power that techno has, it does not invoke trance The only thing these recordings invoke in me a a felling of deep stupor.

Re: [313] Jeff Mills interview on-line
I have challenged my physics professors too many times to count. My god, I have such total sympathy with your professor!! Basically, if man ever does discover that something travels faster than 3 x 10^8 m/s, science falls apart, I found most of this post to be pretty silly but this point in particular struck a chord- are you really saying that if faster than light particles are proved beyond doubt to exist that a car whose aerodynamics were formulated using quantum uncertainty algorithms will stop being aerodynamic? Or that your microwave oven will cease to operate. Science didn't fall apart when it was discovered that light travels through space in a vacuum and not some ether as was previously believed (the same ether that held people onto the surface of the Earth before the discovery of Gravity), not did it fall apart when it was discovered that the Earth orbits the Earth and not vice versa (although a few people's world may have!), Science expands to incorporate new ideas as and when they come about, usually with a delay of a few decade, The interesting thing is the the writer complains of a feeling of brainwashing and having the Imagination programmed out of him- quantum theory was one of the most imaginative feats of the 20th century- thinking of things in two different way simultaneously- wave/particle duality is no mean feat. I believe that Techno can inspire original thoughts and I also believe that it can have a theoretical base however, too often this is simply a case of covering for a lack of any real originality or talent (Ritchie Hawtin in my opinion), also these things can be taken just a little bit too far (I am just old enough to remember the horrors of Emerson Lake and Palmer and Genesis concept albums some of which were based on similar utopian society ideas as are being touted about today by techno producers who should know better). Sometimes I think that when it is our time to understand, we will. And until that point we should just keep our heads under the parapet??

[313] FW: Review
Hi there, sorry if this seems like self promotion but I had to post this review of our first release because of the last line- one of the funniest descriptions of a Techno track I've ever heard!!! De:Bug magazine (translated from the German) Iridite 001- v/a (integrale muzique) A new label from Glasgow, together with Peacemaker, Organica, Rei Loci and Nieux, brings a new act, kicking itself into the hearts of all fans of melodic yet progressive Detroit funk tracks in which the analogue bass still leaves space for digital sounds. Breaks which open boundaries like B12 records did in the past, ***(?) delving into experiments with downtempo funk, burning like red planet woken by a tom cat and finally a crackling dub. A perfect record, 5 stars. burning like a Red Planet, woken by a Tom Cat??? Who's up for Iridite T-Shirts with THAT slogan on Cheers Jason Brunton - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [313] Jeff Mills interview on-line
Sometimes I think that when it is our time to understand, we will. And until that point we should just keep our heads under the parapet?? Yeah maybe. Or you could go on believing everything your physics professor has to say. The truth is that man will never understand even a minute fraction of life and the way things work. You base your statement on man's burning curiosity, which is a totally valid point. I, myself, fall into this category. I am just saying from personal experience, that when you assign all the naturally occuring events a number, it just get's boring and leaves less room for the imagination to kick in. BTW particle and wave duality is just another small example of science's flaws. They categorize everything and then WHAM! Something like that comes along and throws a monkey wrech into the equation. Then they try to find out why and fix it. I guess it is something to do to pass the time, but to egg people on by paying them money to fill their heads with it? Not cool. I liked it better when the scientists (Plato, Socrates, etc.)just taught whoever would listen. Uh, I don't have a physics lecturer, sorry Jason Brunton - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [313] Jeff Mills interview on-line
You are pretty funny, for a physics geek. =) Don't forget the per say that you cut off to make your points even minutely valid. Nice edit job. Excellent, so if I add back in those two words (didn't really notice them to be honest) you accept the validity and truthfulness of my little rant- that was easier than I thought Jason Brunton - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [313] some records.
Went record shopping yesterday. Some stand outs were: Gadgets Parallel - Finally I hear what the fuss is about. Superb! Definitely some of my favourite non Maurizio Maurizio music. There's a track with a constant bass drone that is maybe one of my favourite tracks of the year so far. I'd appreciate any pointers on how to get hold of the rest of the back catalogue. MOS Utilities - Don't know how old this is it, but it's a fine example of what makes RushHour stuff so great for me right now. Classy Detroit like sounds with a slight lo-fi sound and a distinct lack of nostalgia. Wicked. Full Swing [Edits] part 3 - So much of this DSP stuff about it's hard to sort the weak from the chaff. In the end it's really subjective, but I like the rough expansive sound of Full Swing stuff. Maybe someone else does too :) Jonny. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On a recent journey back to Glasgow I got the new Morgan Geist (Metro Area 4) and the new Fabrice Lig on F Comm- both excellent releases.

Hi there, haven't posted to the list for quite some time as I've had very little to say about Ritchie Hawtin and the one time I do post it's a bit of self promotion!!! Anyway here goes: BRAVE STARR * PROMOTIONS PLEASE FIND ENCLOSED Iridite EP (IR001) RELEASED . Fresh from the Detroit Electronic Music festival this collective of new artists release their debut EP on Glasgow's newest techno label, Iridite Recordings. The concept of this release brings 4 individual production outfits together, fusing Electro, Techno breaks and Beats on 4 separate tracks. With the likes of DJs Claude Young, John Tejada, Slam and Andrew Wetherall already hooked on Iridite, this EP shows a potential that most producers and DJs can only dream of today. The artist backgrounds behind Iridite are highly impressive, with their CVs boasting collaborations and releases on Sirkus, Finetik, 20/20 Vision and Soma recordings with remix duties for Groove Armada, Aaron Carrol and Daniel Ibbotson also, and over 10 years of producing Detroit influenced House, Techno and Electronics. TRACK LISTINGS : Iridite 001 EP ARTISTS :TRACKS: A :PEACEMAKER:PRECESSION ORGANICA:MEDINA B : REI LOCI:MELD NEIU:PSIU Opening Veto 1 is a jackin' tech naughty workout by Peacemaker. This cheeky start up track is a perfect floor shaker to get groovin' to. 2nd track on A is a more downbeat, chilled abstract number by electronic poet Organica, definitely one for after dark hours. On the flip side B picks up the flow on the electronic tip, with Rei Loci kickin in bleeps and beats and taking techno to its limits with its ass shakin' knife edge drive. Finishing off this showcase of talent is a track by artists Neiu bringing us a deep, dark assortment of heavy static rhythms and smooth basslines. The whole concept of this release is very workable, with tracks ideal from warm up to full floor action all on the one EP, which is a rarity to find in this ever competitive market. Take note for future releases from this promising label and its artists, as this is only the start. Do not dare to overlook this! The EP will be distributed through Integrale Muzique. 00 44 (0)121 550 6200 PLEASE RETURN MAIL OUT/ REACTIONS ASAP AND FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE ARTISTS INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT CONTACT : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax: 0141 429 2106 There have been reviews in Jockey Slut and Overload magazine which have been pretty positive so far- if anyone is interested there are snippets of the tracks on Groovetech's site (do a label search for Iridite) and juno.co.uk Thanks for your time Jason Brunton Iridite - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maurizio goes to the dogs!!!
What the. ? Whilst following up the Juan Atkins discography that another member posted recently I ended up looking into Moritz Van Oswald's shady past and discovering that he played drums and percussion on the 1990 album by The Associates (any other Scottish members who know of Billy McKenzie's one true passion in life will understand the cryptic comment in the Subject line of this post.. he.he.he). This would only be a year or two before the unbelievable Sonic Sunset and 3MB feat Eddie Flashin Fowlkes (..as in what ever happened to...) albums and round about the same time that Basic Channel started Anyone who heard Billy McKenzie's Discofied version of Blondie's heart of Glass from about the same time will testify to his love of electronic music but from basic Channel to The Affectionate Punch is a bit of a leap. Does anyone on the list have any further info on Mauritzio's other early days appearances (a sort of Techno before they were famous thread could easily start here-did you know that Ian Pooley used to be my paper boy) Jason Brunton VETO
313- Larry Heard on Jack Trax
Hi there! I'm a newish member from Glasgow who hasn't had much to say so far but has listened intently. Anyway, here goes. I have both of the Black market compilations in question (and a signed copy of Amnesia. Wahey!), I will dig them out for a track listing ASAP. The Jack Trax compilations were an early introduction to the world of Derrick, Juan etc. for me and No. 5 in particular is one of my favorite records of all time. I have heard before however that a lot of stuff on this label was composed of out-takes, un finished work etc. and that most of the artists received little or no money for their work (some of the tracks on Amnesia in particular sound like a bit of a jam session). Similar in fact to another label with a name not a million mile removed. On another note, does anyone on the list have information about a TRAX (ah, there's that name!) release from 1993 under the name of Phurture (their spelling). It is a nine track EP called The Lost Souls and consists of truly bizarre lo-fi Acid tracks which I bought at the time believing it to be the work of DJ Pierre. The writers' credits are S Winters on side one and K Kool on the other (cat no: TX 5020 B) and has mixed by DJ Dancer emblazoned on one side!. The mystery deepens. Is it Brett Dancer in an early guise? Is it DJ Pierre out-takes from 1988? Could it be Henry, the mild mannered Janitor??? One last note, the fuss over the Jaguar rip off reminded me of a similar case from a long, long time ago when an Italian Producer blatantly (or bravely, depending on your point of view) ripped off the Strings Of Life Piano riff and released it, complete with unbelievably cheesy saxophone and female give me your love/take me higher vocals under the name of Mimmo Mix on Final Vinyl. Unfortunately it didn't lead to a massive backlash against Italian piano house and Strings Of Life never got to number 43 in the British Charts but them's the breaks. I wonder if Derrick has ever heard it or what he would think of it now?? thanks for your time JASON BRUNTON
