Most good dj's do this, Chris T... Only beginners need
to prearrange their sets. You're meant to just throw
records down... depending on how you feel at the time.
You've just gotta freestyle. The kind of freestyling
you do in your bedroom, you know how I mean?


- i like to arrange my different styles of records and place them in 
sections in my record box.  then like you say - improvise and feel out the 
crowd and at the same time i know exactly where my secret weapons are ;)
- another tip: as you practice freestyling (and maybe recording your bedroom 
sets and listening to them) you'll find records that work really well 
together and you'll keep that in the back of your head.  i'm constantly 
finding new, exciting combinations from good old records.



Absolutely raw...:) - raw is good, lots of feeling and creativity.

Still, a lot of good dj's also have a general idea of
what they want to play by keeping some records for the
end of the set and some for warming it up at the
beginning... If you can't do this you shouldn't think
yourself any good. You have to really push yourself if
you wanna be good but many dj's these days seem to
serve half measures and don't try their best...

Johnny Fiasco's "Shifted" and Dan Curtin's

for ages. Absolutely raw...:)

Dan Curtin definitely lots of new stuff coming out by
him at the mo. Titonton is more melodic tech tho...
Heavily influenced by early 4Hero and, going back, the
likes of John Cage and Stravinsky... His release on
2000 Black was the jazziest... 

Also, check Archive recs Italy. Jazzbeat but there's a
techno twist in some of the stuff there... Check the
new Nu Era release...

this album has some very deep funk on it imo. believe the hype.

perhaps also with some relevance to 313: "On the Corner" for the "repetitive
beats" tangent or "Dark Magus" for the brief drum machine-y bit.

how about Herbie Hancock's "Rockit"?  :)

but yeah, Deep Space is great. Flanger is nice too.


> many have been mentioning L. Naverre..St.Germain //Rose Rouge check it if
> havent yet

much as i like this track, i kind of agree with Philip McG.'s earlier
comments: do a bunch of blue note samples and jazz-y solo riffs etc in a
techno/house track make it jazz?

perhaps the genres overlap in their emerging alongside a social phenomenon
of sorts  - jazz began as a form of dance music, right? - as well as the
combination of european and african musical elements (to a greater or lesser
degree).

i saw a programme on improvisation a few years ago (I think it was
produced/presented by Derek Bailey) where house djs in New York said that
their sets are not usually planned beforehand but take form through
interaction with the responses of the dancers (as well I guess with other
djs and whatever inspires them at the moment).

not strictly 313, but check dan curtin, morgan geist, and titonton duvante's 
stuff.  all jazzy,
all pretty nicely detroit-influenced.  ian o'brien and russ gabriel are also 
somewhat up this
alley as well, although i'm less familiar with their output.  nubian mindz and 
some of the other
stuff on archive is pretty jazzy too, although again i'm less well acquainted 
with it.

Laxating?  Not sure what you mean here, but...

There's actually quite a resurgence of interesting fusion Jazz, and more
than a slight "tip of the hat" from techno-related artists.  The obvious 313
connection is Carl Craig's Innerzone Orchestra project.   Franciso Mora
Catlett's effort is beautiful too, although closer to straight-ahead jazz.
IMHO, there are echoes of fusion of some of the Recloose tracks.

Cinematic Orchestra's "Motion" was another from 1999 on that tip.
Squarepusher has heavy Weather Report influences.  Burnt Friedman's latest
seems to meld the lounge sounds of Martin Denny with some writhing fusion
funk rhythm arrangements.

Can anyone else add to this with current stuff?

Anything by Ian O'Brien
He's basically influenced by Jazz, funk, soul and Detroit techno (check his
Mad Mike disease track)
You want to get hold of his Desert Scores and Gigantic Days albums plus a
rare track called That was Now that came out on Pacific.

Re: [313] Jazzy Detroit Techno weather report

2000-12-15 Thread Jonny McIntosh
A more constructive reply might be:

M024 is, if I'm not mistaken (I've never heard it), a joint production with
Maurizio, so if you like it as deep as that I'd suggest checking out Basic
Channel and Maurizio. Jazzier detroit stuff might include Stacey Pullen's
Silent Phase LP, The Theory Of... Underground Resistance have produced a
fair few tracks that will be exactly what you are looking for check World 2
World and Galaxy 2 Galaxy in particular, as well as the Red Planet series.

As for Weather Report's stuff, Sweet Nighter is probably their best and most
well known LP, though similar sounds can be heard in early to mid 70s Herbie
Hancock's output (check "Sextant" and the Headhunters' LP, "Survival of the
Fittest", in particular) and the early 70s Miles Davis stuff; "Bitches Brew"
is perhaps the LP that kick started that deep jazz funk fusion off, though I
personally prefer "Filles de Kilimanjaro" and "In A Silent Way" from a
couple of years earlier.

Hope that hits the spot...

Jonny.
