His music is electro-inspired and quite sparse, his big 'hit' is Decompression on Minus.

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).

Re: (313) Mathew Jonson
.. 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 Z Cyclone Wehner wrote: I'm curious to get some info on this dude, seeing he's been getting major props for a while and his records are hot and he is rated by Richie Hawtin.

(313) czech cops went bonkers?
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. http://indymedia.h-k.sk/newswire/display/84/index.php

Z Williams wrote: I stand corrected; I didn't remember what year Clear and Shari Vari came out. 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. On 7/5/05, Matt MacQueen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: yeah fair... massive connections between house and techno, and that is the way i like it too! But just for the record on a historical timeline, the earliest detroit techno things like A Number of Names and Cybotron and early Model 500 took more from european sounds than they 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.

(313) Stavöstrand in Riga // discogs strike s back!
.. 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:) Z Edward George wrote: maybe without discogs i'll stop spending my dinner money on ebay.

I was thinking that on the way in to work! 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).

Re: (313) A reasonable compression rate?
.. i'm using lame LAME 3.90.3 for MP3 encoding using VBR [which in average turns out to be ~200kbps]. been mostly encoding seedee extracted WAVs as well as my own production and i can't tell much of a difference, maybe sounds a little more 'compact'. lame encoding presets are optimized and tweaked to reach good quality/size ratio, the only complaint might be it cuts highs in the name of 'no human is able to hear above 18khz' so you cant encode up to 22khz. btw, the decoder is also important and there's still room to advance. i'm using Mad plug-in for Winamp http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/mpeg/mad-plugin/ 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 -- ///Z Tristan Watkins wrote: 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.

.. 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. ///Z Blaauw, Martijn de wrote: Since everybody is awake and it seems that summer has finally arrived in the lowlands so i made a cd for in my car with some tunes which are currently rocking it for me...not al of them are technolectro but i'd thought i'd let u know which tunez rock it for me: Tiefschwarz feat.

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??
.. 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! ///Z FRED giannelli wrote: on 6/8/05 11:03 AM, J.T. at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yeah, that record is only OK. I have never bought a kompakt 12 that was worth the 12$, be it on kompakt proper or pop or extra. well i only know of one i like! KAITO well maybe there's several kaito's, but i really like kaito, yes. You guys are crazy. There are lots of great Kompakt releases over the years. Perhaps you just don't like the recent ones. telepathic regards, the kooky scientist

Re: (313) virtual sex lp repressed! ACTUALLY IT'S BEEN BOOTLEGGED,BURN THE BOOTLEGGERS
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 ///Z Thomas D.

hiya list, i've actually put some stuff online here for a while: http://www.ilovetechno.lv/z99/fused/ didnt went thru all of the recordings myself yet.. feel free to get it! ///Z Jernej Marusic wrote: Actually it is, but it's full of interuptions.

Re: (313) New Richie Hawtin Mix CD: DE9: Transition
true, true! but UR did it differently.. than all this have born here and there blah blah got into electronics by age of xxx bla blah ^#*(@() have been spinning together with bla bla etc etc crap -- pretty much a pop industry approach [on the other hand, its always interesting to know=] anyway, i think Richie is a great innovator, its just funny in a way, especially when he is a kind of man who'd have a laught himself at his own PR ///Z Martin Dust wrote: But what is underground?

(313) how bout MAETRIK?
.. i've came to hear three Maetrik's rels from 2003: * echando alma on Morris Audio * freaky flow on Big Chief * force feeling on Treibstoff although i didnt instantly fell in love with vocals, i've grown to like 'em in a way and all in all i really dig some of the tracks from these EPs [groovin all day long infact;D], especially 'freaky flow' original and electrointention as well as 'force feeling' -- anyone heard something more recent from this producer? ///Z
