(313) Dan Sicko Memorial Wild Kingdom
This week's Wild Kingdom contains a tribute to recently passed author Dan Sicko, whose book The Techno Rebels is a must-read for those who want to investigate the roots of techno. I could have used that book when I was trying to feel my way back in 94 and 95 - it's still a vital resource now.. The first two hours of my show will be a solid block of 313 vinyl in Dan's honor. Expect some of the usual suspects, but also a fair number of obscure surprises, and a couple of ringers from outlying fellow-travelers in Kalamazoo (1/2-way between Detroit and Chicago!!!) and East Lansing. You can guess who they might be, or listen and find out. DJ of the Month Club, usually featured on the first Friday of the month, is moved to next week - I'll talk about it then. Last week's playlist can be found at http://www.kfjc.org/music/playlist.php?i=38821 . Limited time archives for all shows on KFJC are available at http://www.kfjc.org/broadcast_archives/ . These are rolling archives, available for two weeks after any given show. My shows are listed under Goodwrench. Send comments and suggestions to i...@kfjc.org . The Wild Kingdom airs on KFJC-FM 89.7, Friday Night/Saturday Morning, 10P-2A (6A-10A GMT). Potential listeners outside the San Francisco Bay area can find a webcast at http://www.kfjc.org/netcast/index.php . Present and past Wild Kingdom playlists are also archived at kfjc.org. You can also check out archived playlists from my first KFJC show Just Desserts that was on Fridays 10P-2A from 1992 through 1999 (Deja Vu, huh?). Archived playlists exist for that show starting from Fall 1995 to New Year's Eve 1999/2000, so you can see what what I'm up to these days is pretty much consistent with what I was up to all along. If you do tune in (especially via the web), please take a little time to let me know your locale. I'm also interested in promo music from all over and in promoting local (San Francisco Bay area) techno-type events. If you want to do some promotion for an event, contact the KFJC promotions department at pr...@kfjc.org to arrange ticket giveaways and/or to send information for inclusion in our concert outlook. Thanks to those who have sent promo music so far. Regards, Richard Hester Mr. Goodwrench The Wild Kingdom FR 10P-2A KFJC-FM 89.7 Los Altos Hills, California, USA
Re: (313) Dan Sicko
Dan's Techno Rebels is considered a bible here in Australia. Every DJ/ producer of note in Melbourne has a copy. It was such a key book. I recall telling Visage bassist Barry Adamson he and Frequency 7 were mentioned in the book and he was stunned - he's a Mancunian guy now based in Sydney who plays blues. He just had no idea. I was just extremely saddened to hear of Dan's passing. On 30/08/2011, at 2:52 PM, Richard Hester wrote: I've had a look at a lot of the pics, and Dan had a good eye and nice sense of composition...

RE: (313) Dan Sicko
My condolences to his family. I read Dan's book about 5 years after getting involved with techno. I knew Detroit techno had a rich history but didn't truly appreciate it until reading Techno Rebels. The man may be gone but his legacy continues. RIP

Re: (313) Dan Sicko
When I first came to Detroit in '98, I'd been on 313 for a few years but had hardly met any listmembers offline, not even in the Netherlands. During that visit to Detroit, there were several people who made me feel truly welcome as if I were a close friend, showing the great community spirit of 313. Dan was one of those people. Thank you Dan. Wherever you are, we'll always follow the beat... Otto
Re: (313) Dan Sicko
I never had the opportunity to meet Dan in person, but I definitely felt like I knew him through the community that is 313. He was instrumental in educating this guy, living in Sydney at the time (about as far away from Detroit as you could get) via 313, his excellent online Reverb Mag (took me forever to download those tiny QuickTime movies, but it was my first quick glimpse at seeing Dan Bell and Rob Hood live) and of course his Techno Rebels book. He was a true ambassador of Detroit. My sincere condolences go out to his family and his close friends, he will be sorely missed. - Patrick.

Re: (313) Dan Sicko
The extraordinary thing about Detroit techno is not just the music but the people. I usually do a practice mix once or twice a week and last night played Kano's I'm Ready in honor of Dan and remembering some of the other extraordinary people who have passed -- Ken Collier, Laura Gavoor. Aaron-Carl. I saw Dan on the first day of the first DEMF, missed seeing him this year on Friday. He worked for the last 6 years at Organic -- one of the ironies is that when I joined 313 in 1995, hyperreal.org was living at Brian Behlendorf's desk at the original location of Organic in San Francisco. Dan was a gifted writer, as we all know. But even more importantly, he was a clear thinker and was able to locate where the real meaning is among a messy overlay of facts and suppositions. Like many of us he tried blogging a bit, and these short pieces give a bit of Dan's perceptive view of life... http://www.metromode.com/blogs/bloggers/dansicko0157.aspx A true friend of all of ours, and of Detroit. fh - SO shocked over this ...

Re: (313) Dan Sicko
I met Dan in early 2002 during our employee orientation at BBDO Detroit. They did the whole go around the room and say your name thingy and when he said his name, I immediately knew who he was. We spoke a moment then, but I felt kinda awkward 'cause I didn't want to be known as just some techno guy from the 313 list. I spoke to him again a few weeks later while working on his PC, IIRC he was playing Descent 3 against someone else in the office on his Mac. When we spoke, I kinda avoided talking about the 313 list or anything else techno related 'cause, again, I didn't want to seem like some one-dimensional guy from the 313 list. Later that year I did a couple of gigs, a LifeFest pre-party, the odd show here or there, and did an on-air spot on Crush Collision once. I never brought any of it up to Dan 'cause, once again, I didn't want to be that guy from the 313 list. In retrospect, maybe I SHOULD have spoke up a bit more, maybe invited him to a show or two, or even said hey, I'm spinning on CC tonight, check it out if you have a minute I'm keeping Dan and his family in my prayers, hopefully I'll get another chance to say I'm from the 313 list... kuszyn...@gmail.com kuszyn...@gmail.com wrote: Donate.

I am also without words after this news, i think most of us who know Dan are all feeling the same. Also, it says something about our beloved techno scene that when not a famous DJ or an artists but someone who loves the music needs our help, we help.

(313) Dan Sicko
I first went to Detroit in 1962 when I was 5 years old. My Uncle Steve was on his Mormon mission there. All I remember is that he'd wired stereo speakers into the bowls of two toilets in the living room of his apartment. My second visit was in 1998, when I stayed with Dave Walker in River Rouge. The first night I got there was the closing party for Dan Bell's Seventh City distributor, and so I basically drove from Iowa City straight to 7th City. That was where I met Dan Sicko -- and Alan Oldham, and DJ Teep, and Brendan Gillen and a whole slew of Detroiters. Dan always strikes me as one of the friendliest funniest people you'd meet. He might look like an accountant, but he's wicked smart, a great guy, who may be Detroit's best techno ambassador. Through the years I always ran into Dan every time I came to Detroit. Sure, he literally wrote the book, but Detroit Techno is a small family, and everyone knows and loves Dan, not so much for what he's accomplished -- which is amazing -- but for who he is. When Techno Rebels first came out Dan's biggest regret is that he hadn't been able to track down the people behind Shari Vari, A Number of Names. A few years later, through (I think) the good offices of the Burden brothers at 430 West, A Number Of Names was playing live on the main stage at DEMF. I didn't see Dan during their performance (though A Number Of Names were nearly upstaged by Eddie Flashin Fowlkes dancing in the puddles in the middle of the arena, but I know Dan was somewhere -- backstage probably, grinning like a fool. I'll be holding Dan and his family in the light, and I hope he's still able to have some joy as his illness plays itself out. I'm sure everyone who knows Dan is feeling devastated right now, but it's also important to recognize what a joyful, accomplished positive life he's led and is still leading. He's made every moment count.
(313) Dan Sicko Techno Rebels interview 10th anniversary
Ten years ago this month, back in a time before MP3, IM, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and the like, Cognition Audioworks' Andrew Duke spoke to author Dan Sicko about Techno Rebels: The Renegades Of Electronic Funk, his book that would go on to be published in June 1999. To celebrate the forthcoming tenth anniversary of this important book, Duke's interview with Dan Sicko, along with some songs personally selected by Dan Sicko, has just been added to the Andrew Duke's In The Mix show archive; you can listen to this feature, included with full tracklisting, here: http://cognitionaudioworks.com/AndrewDukeInTheMix.html Also, by request, a couple of shows from earlier in 2009 have been re-uploaded; to make way for these re-additions, some files have had to be moved (basically, vbr versions are now housed on andrew-duke.com and cbr versions will continue to be housed on cognitionaudioworks.com), so please check the show archive for updated links and full tracklistings for all shows.
