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.

I think everyone misspells his name, too. I was also under the impression
that he had a UK connection, but it seems with his label being called
Vancouver, he's Canadian... He's booked to play live in Oz, but does he DJ

..

we been talking about the guy before.

imho he's definitely worth checking although i don't like all of his 
material. his sound is a bit that of retrofuturistic, well produced and 
danceable, i'd say there is a big Kraftwerk influence. i never liked his 
big hit Decompression tho' except for the time i spotted it in a set 
at a party (thanks to Matt Chester:) -- worked there pretty well. i've 
only heard a Breezeblock mix by Mathew and he what he spun was all his 
own tracks.


although subject's sound doesn't seem anything fresh, there's a 
something very special about it. i tend to appreciate him more and more, 
especially as i found older releases on Itiswhatitis Recordings, like:


she is he [IIWII005] 2002
typerope [IIWII007] 2003
love letter to the enemy [IIWII009] 2004

Not hating, but I've heard sooo much about these records, and I can't seem

tracks from him, but I am not feeling most of them.

I can see collectors being all over the seemingly underground style hand

(313) czech cops went bonkers?

2005-08-02 Thread z66



Czechtek 2005 is the 12th annual freetek party in open nature. This 
year's self-organized freetekno event met unusual hostility from the 
Czech police. Starting the morning of Friday, 29th July, the first 
soundsystems and visitors gathered on a legaly rented land near the city 
of Milec. In the morning hours the police blocked the exits from the 
higway D5, causing an 8 kilometres long traffic jam. According to 
eyewitnesses, the police officers were trying to stop people from 
exiting the highway towards Milec based of their looks. Around 150 
people sat on the highway requesting that they are allowed to continue 
their way to Milec. After 6 hours, following an ultimatum, at 13.00 the 
Czech police used water-guns and heavy force to clean the blocked 
highway. Abandoned cars were pulled away. The police continued to block 
the highway exits, as well as several ways around Milec.


The official police statements said that the legal contract between the 
owner of the land on which Czechtek 2005 should take place is invalid. 
The Czech Minister of (wrong: Justice) Internal Affairs Frantisek Bublan 
of the social-democratic party CSSD, stated that the contract is invalid 
and that the owner of the land revoked it. Later, Friday the contract 
got into the media, as well as several interviews with the legal owner 
of the land, confirming his support for the event and the validity of 
the contract. Following his statement the Czech Senator Jaromír Štětina 
and the Czech Green Party requested that Minister Buban stops the raid 
against citizens of Czech republic which have not commited any crime by 
their gathering on a legaly rented land. Nevertheless police continued 
to block the area without reason.


During night several thousands of visitors managed to pass the police 
blockage, leaving their cars behind on the roads. The Czech police was 
getting reinforcements from Pilsen, coming by vans and buses. Saturday 
morning the free techno party was having 5000 visitors and around 300 
cars that managed to get on the place. The soundsystems started to play 
music.


The Speaker of the Czech police stated that the visitors damaged 
neighbouring lands while trying to pass their blockage. The landowners 
filled a legal complaint against the organizers of Czechtek 2005. The 
citizens of Újezd pod Přimdou, a small town near the place of CT 2005 
signed a petition and handed in to the main Police Commander requesting 
that the participants are allowed to continue their way. The streets of 
the city were filled up by cars and people who failed to go through the 
police street cordons.


The police redirected cars comming from Germany to the border in 
Rozvadov to other border crossings. According to police statistics 105 
out of 249 foreigners were turned back on the borders on the base of 
colored old cars, haircuts and tatoos. The highway D5 was closed on 
both sides between 128 and 135 km.


At 16.25 the police requested that the 6000+ participants leave the 
gathering otherwise a police action will follow. The assault started at 
16.30 supported by around thousand riot cops massively using tear gas 
and trying to push the visitors out from the place. The assault was 
answered by throwing of various object at the police cordon and people 
shouting gestapo at the policemen. According to eyewitnesses the 
police used water to damage the soundsystems and unconfirmed messages 
speak about the usage of gum projectiles and frequency jammers to 
disprupt the mobile networks in the area. The shadow minister Ivan 
Langer sharply criticizes the police assault saying that it's a 
political decision imposed by the Prime-Minister Jiří Paroubek (CSSD). 
On the weblog of Czechtek a request for solidarity was posted asking 
people to join a demonstration in Prague at 19.00 in front of the 
Ministery of Justice. The police assault ended around 19.20 (before the 
evening news) resulting in 50 injured people both on the sides of police 
and the participants. The organizers of Czechtek 2005 stated that they 
are going to appeal to European Court for Human Rights in Strassbourg.


The second wave of police assault started around 21.00 with the goal of 
pushing out the remaining people. The brutal and irrational assault and 
police hostility are attributed to the government leading party, CSSD 
(social democrats), and are viewed as a residuum of Communist thinking 
as well as a populist attempt to get some attention before the coming 
elections. The so-called democracy in the Czech Republic as well as a 
borderless vision of the EU manifested itself in a xenophobic attempt 
to supress a manifestation of a freetekno subculture.

I stand corrected; I didn't remember what year Clear and Shari

As another data point --  when I asked Kevin Saunderson about the
large number of House, and particularly Deep House DJs that were
booked at Movement in 2004, his response was we don't really see
house and techno as different things.

It reminds me a bit too of the stuff written about early hip hop --
people like Grandmaster Flash thought of what they were doing as
making their own kind of disco. Nearly 30 years on, any commonality
between Disco and Hip Hop would seem unlikely to people who don't know
the history.

I don't know if any of you all get spammed by Jesse Saunders booking
agent, but all his promotional materials make a big deal about him
being The Originator Of House Music, and having put out the first
House record in 1983.  That claim seems pretty absurd to me. A lot of
people who were making house music early on took a long time to get
around to making records, though they were playing reel to reel
productions in the clubs well before Jesse Saunders' record came out.

did chicago house, and pre-dated a lot of chicago house actually.
Clear  (1982 !) was not a debt nor offshoot of chicago house.
Chicago house (then and even now) still holds disco deep down in it's
heart, where when Juan started out there was moreso a self-conscious
rejection of that that kind of ethos in his early work.   I know you

(313) Stavöstrand in Riga // discogs strike s back!

2005-07-02 Thread z66


..

just back from some club called Depo: Mikael Stavöstrand and Selffish+ 
live in one 'hall' and.. drum'n'bass DJs in other.


Stavöstrand's live set wasn't all that perfect but it was really 
interesting to watch him workin the crowd, and at some point things took 
off very well indeed. the kick was stompin and there were some cool 
tricks and enough of variation [glitches, bleeps, noise sweeps and sum 
kooky percussion rush] yet somehow the irresistable groove was missing 
by large, my guess would be him being too careless about hihats, one 
should never underestimate these! also, the ever repeating bassline 
became annoying in no time.


Selffish set was less danceable but kind of more coherent and solid [you 
can check his releases on Thinner, he's definitely one of the most 
interesting latvian producers these days]. however, as i happen to know 
most of the tracks he was performing, there wasn't too much of a live 
element thus interaction with crowd was close to none.



ah yeah, both laptop btw:)

The world is quite amazing isn't it? I was thinking that on the way in

I agree about taking interest, but taking interest in a concept and
supporting a format (and all it's limitations) are different. I am
intensely interested in the concept of fully digital music presentation,
but like Francois k said on dhp that time, the concept doesn't really
work consistently on the professional level until you start closing in
on uncompressed quality (really uber-high bitrates and large files). So
I probably won't bother with full steam digital until the format is
expanded to include high quality files. But then again you're talking to
the guy who buys 4 pairs of levi's 501's every spring and feels fashion

i guess some lossless format will take over sooner or later as bandwidth 
and storage makes it accessible already



the Sony format you mentioned sounds interesting! i wonder of the way of 
interpreting and describing audio characteristics there, gotta google it 
up --

The storage requirements for 1000 records at 24 bit 96 KHz would be astronomical. IIRC, I mixed down a 6 minute track to 32 bit 96 KHz and it was over 300MB! If you actually decide to encode an average of 2 tracks/record that would require ~600GB. 1500 records and you're nearly at a terrabyte (don't even worry about albums for now). 

Even if you're thinking that hard disk space is cheap these days, the backup requirements are crazy. Plunking that on DVD's you've got an organisational nightmare, and if you're thinking of using a NAS, a terrabyte is bloody expensive. 

But hell, 32 bit 96 KHz is nothing. Why not go for one of those audiophile formats like Sony's 1 bit 2.1 MHz DVD audio format which is meant to replicate the stream of analogue audio more accurately than larger bit types? No clue what kind of file sizes you'll get with that, but I think it's similar to the 5 channel 24 bit 96 KHz files from that other DVD audio format, which is large. 


Personally, I reckon 32 bit 256 Kbps mp3 is plenty good with today's 
compression formats. Has anyone actually ever noticed the difference at this 
bitrate? That's what I'm using anyway. Getting fanatical about any of these 
choices is a bit silly if you ask me, as five years from now there'll probably 
be a new format that poops all over the compession of today and we'll all be 
glad we kept the vinyls so that we can re-encode everything from the source in 
the new format. Maybe I'll be done with my current collection by then. ;)

@ Joe: I recorded a 6-hour mix to VHS once upon a time. Good for that 
uninterrupted feel. :)

Re: (313) A reasonable compression rate?

seconded! however i'm making use of encoded audio already and most 
likely i'll have to deal with it a lot during next 5 years, so i'm 
interested to handle the matter best way possible at any time.

 My point in a nutshell. And I think that if the current choices don't
 move me like I want, then I'm cool holding out with my source material.
 If you should ever finish encoding all your vinyl, please allow me to
 take care of the disposal...for a nominal fee of course :)

Re: (313) whats on ur (car)stereo at moment (was: who woke everyone up?)

2005-06-09 Thread z66


..

i've got a hold of new Maetrik album 'casi profundo' at last, and there 
is something warm and quite summer-ish about it! i love and hate it at 
the same time, just like some of his previous releases;D for me, there 
constantly tend to be some tiny bit or two, ruining the whole 
listening/groovin' experience.. like this superannoying bassline on 
'almost deep', how could one possibly find it fitting? original? -- not 
that much, apart from weird rhythmics generated.. which are totally out 
of key imho. experimental? electrotrash influence?:D



now, i want an edit. ofcourse i only niggle like this when i actually 
damn love the track. if it didn't hit so close, i'd most likely find 
that jerky bassline amusing.



anyway, Maetrik rocks. great flow, tight beats, polished sound and 
[sometimes] very well integrated vocals.

Yes something has definetly happened :) Maybe it's the spring/summer sun

luring moody underground techno heads out of their lairs ...

Kompakt: I've bought many records, Speicher 10, speicher 28, both rex
the 
dogs on kompakt extra, both orbs (gonna buy the third one aswell) and 
many others.


New records: Nothing special, dj t's new 12 which was nice techhouse, 
couple of mathew jonhson records waiting in the post office. Oh and that


new dj Gregory's Head talking is also waiting for me at the Oulu post 
office. Realy looking forward to that.


Busy weekend coming up, gonna play one club gig, one reclaim-the-street 
gig and one techno party gig :) Can't remember when I had so many gigs
in 
one weekend :D


How is the Reclaim-the-Street movement in other countries?

Re: (313) the orb on kompakt??

2005-06-08 Thread z66


..

rite, but it took me years to discover Kompakt is actually not all that 
bad;) everytime i was in Germany, been checking some of their records 
[german record shops always seemed to have lots of Kompakt backstock, 
not to mention their own shop in Cologne], yet nothing caught my 
attention [was it wrong release, wrong time, wrong place or wrong me?] 
until recently, and then thanks to MP3  piracy.


i really dig their two Mikkel Metal's rels, and i also find some of 
Closer Musik and SCSI9 rather enjoyable.



havn't heard anything from the Orb since the famous cloud-song, i guess!

You guys are crazy.  There are lots of great Kompakt releases over the

different musik, different qualities..

well, at least it makes these producers even with other producers of 
today [who might not been around that time]. in any case, i'm still 
being amazed, how much of good musik is being released every year.. just 
like others, i use labels and names as a reference point, but it always 
leads me to new, unknown names + every year i keep discovering gems i've 
missed


i can well understand hunting classics which are unique for both that 
and this time, yet what i'm trying to say is: there's a supply but the 
demand seems to be lost in time

Actually it is, but it's full of interuptions. It looks like they were
having a lot of problems with the stream and they were playing some other
music in between, plus they are talking over parts of it. So there's
basically only half the UR gig, with other music in between, but it's better
than nothing :)

UR start at the end of first file (only couple of min) and play all the way
through the second, and the last 15 min are in the last file.

 * echando alma on Morris Audio
 * freaky flow on Big Chief
 * force feeling on Treibstoff

well, the suns out, and i've gone all dizzy already.

whats your favourite summer techno track?

on a sunny day, I like to sit outside, on an old sofa in my string vest
with sandals and socks on, with my fat hairy chest hanging out swigging a
bottle of QC sherry. With the windows wide open, i treat my neighbours to

Ultradyne - Ultradyne is EVIL

haahahahahahahahahahaa. perfect for the neighbours, the scally feckers.
