Hey,

Thanks Martin, Conspiracy Tapes making sense right now, appreciating the 
efforts and research. There's a techno ethos, acheivable without  mixes 
and fixes, searching for the perfect beat. The beginning of the lockdown 
was kind of sinister, so the first three matched the vibe. Bit of a 
rough road for Brian Harvey though, eh?


As for beef with Denise, this place was the perfect void. Isn't it 
refreshing when someone doesn't mind speaking their mind. Live For 
Friction? No-thinking sound system? Imo the list fails more because 
posters worry about the thought police ramifications when they step up 
like Denise wasn't afraid to do. Kudos


And favourite logo - Bush. None of the poster get past the calligraphy 
four-four.

Hey 313,

Here’s a list of mixes of things we’ve been listening to in the
studio, we usually do one mix a month of stuff we like.

This is a list of things we did while involved in the Conspiracy
World, we had to leave due to the worries about mental health and some
of the very dark people involved. One hour pieces on different
subjects, free to download of you can pay over at our stores if you
wish.

Right now we are recording stuff and making sound packs for Ableton.

As for what’s happening on the list, it’s kinda sad. I’ve seen one
person destroy place like UK Dance and The Big Chill before, it would
be a shame for it to happen here.

I didn’t know people could swear so much on this list. That’s so weird to
me.

Hey check out these videos of me on stage talking with Detroit techno and
house founders. Juan Atkins plane didn’t take off from NY or he woulda been
there too.

With this pandemic lockdown, the only thing I can focus on is finishing my
book ... about Detroit techno.

Thanks so much for more attention on this issue.

A perfect example of the minority screaming loudest.
Back in the 90s when i started partying and listening to Detroit
Techno/House/etc the one thing outside of the great music that was evident
was that the dance floor was for everyone to be equals. The scene in Sydney
was a heavily Gay scene and it was awesome. No one cared. No one focused on

Re: Keep it real (and on topic)

2020-02-28 Thread Ronny Pries
I won't unsubscribe from the list.

And I wish I could stop right there, yet I'm aware it's an invitation to
rub those thinking about unsubscribing in the wrong way. So...

Don't know how many times during the last week or so I started writing a
reply, then discarded doing so thinking "what's this adding to the
discussion?", "is this gonna make things worse?", "WHY THE FUCK DO I FEEL
LIKE I HAVE TO FIX THIS?". At that point, I always realized I'm not fucking
jesus, it's not my duty to fix anything and who the fuck am I anyway.
Moreso, I have enough shit going on in my life. Things with higher
priorities. Why bother with all of this, right? Maybe some of you can
relate.

Yet, I kept arriving at the same point over and over again.

And I wondered why.

My reasoning so far: Where does it take us, folks with a mutual interest in
the same thing, if we're not able to discuss and settle things without
burning the soil? I mean, isn't this what maturity is be about? Being able
to take a step back from one's own position, leaving room for another to
co-exist. Being able to disagree in a respectful way?

And yes, it's tough. Maybe one of the toughest things these days. This
feeling that one's not able to communicate on the internet anymore without
fearing everything one writes gets ripped apart and re-assembled in the way
maximizing damage. Ever heard about Wiios Laws of communication from the
1970s? They look like this:

The fundamental Wiio's law states that "Communication usually fails, except
by accident". The full set of laws is as follows:

   1. Communication usually fails, except by accident.
  1. If communication can fail, it will.
  2. If communication cannot fail, it still most usually fails.
  3. If communication seems to succeed in the intended way, there's a
  misunderstanding.
  4. If you are content with your message, communication certainly
  fails.
   2. If a message can be interpreted in several ways, it will be
   interpreted in a manner that maximizes the damage.
   3. There is always someone who knows better than you what you meant with
   your message.
   4. The more we communicate, the worse communication succeeds.
  1. The more we communicate, the faster misunderstandings propagate.
   5. In mass communication
   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_communication>, the important thing
   is not how things are but how they seem to be.
   6. The importance of a news item is inversely proportional to the square
   of the distance.
   7. The more important the situation is, the more probable you had
   forgotten an essential thing that you remembered a moment ago.

Digest those for a moment. Wanna fall for those? I don't. I'm sick of it.
I'm sick of noticing how each and every one holds true for me, too. And it
takes me a lot of stepping back, breathing, reflecting, stepping back some
more and breathing some more to see these patterns at work. Add the 160
known biases to that. Great fun. Not.

The way I see it, it takes two to get upset. One person offering something
to get upset about, another person to follow that invitation.

It's nobody else's but MY responsibility to choose to get upset, what to
get upset about and how I want to deal with that then.

So, what's frustrating me about this entire discussion:

People not acting responsible for themselves, instead blaming each other.
Or even Kent.

Imho, it's exactly this particular lack of responsibility that put the
Trumps of he world in the places where they are. It removes personal room
for taking action. Creating this imminent notion of being unable to
actually do something, eventually letting the idiots in the world win.
Because people stop voting, thinking "what can I do about this anyway?"

I'm sick of it.

I don't think we need to chill.

Especially those who don't want to contribute to one opinion or the other
need to step up and say something.

I'm crossing this off my list for now. If anyone feels like tearing this
apart to fuel a point, I can't do anything about it. But I don't want to
shut the fuck up, acting responsible for others in not contributing out of
the fear that somebody else could actually use my words for their own
agenda. Neither here. Not anywhere else.

Stay sane folks, at least keep trying.

throughout. 

 

She did apologize for how she reacted and people have continued to go after 
her.  As for the comment that "if she was a guy she would've been removed long 
ago" I have to disagree.  I love Tom Cox and I loved the heated debates he used 
to get in.  Him and I had a few as well. I never got so touchy that I thought 
he should be removed from the list. Those threads and debates back then pushed 
the envelope much farther than any of the emails I saw by her did.  And in 
reality, there have been more emails discussing this than there were that 
caused this discussion to begin. 

 

Her contribution to the music is undeniable and rather than just write her off 
as being hostile, maybe everyone should take stock as to why and what pushed 
her to become hostile in the first place. 


Removing someone that has contributed as much to the musuc as she has would be 
a shame.  

 

Just my 2 cents.  And Joe, I'm pretty sure Marcellus and Rick would agree with 
me on this one.  They love the voices of strong opinionated women in the scene 
as much as I do.

If that’s all you took away from my reply it also tells me a lot about you.

Plus that has nothing to do with what was being discussed.  But congrats on
nitpicking my replies till you found something “worthwhile” to reply to
instead of the real topic.

Not to worry tho I’ll most likely bounce outta here soon too in case I’m

Appreciate the reply Jodie,

I’m gonna go out on what I feel is not too far of a limb by saying you’re
probably the only one here that sees her “apologies” as not being
backhanded.

Please don’t deflect by trying to bring in women’s voices etc because
that’s not the point we are discussing.  She could have been any of the
100+ genders she probably believes in and it wouldn’t matter.

If you can’t see that most here are doing their best to “tolerate” her then
I don’t now what to tell you.

We shouldn’t have to barely tolerate anyone here.  Especially if they are
not at least warned to change their tone.

Speaking of Rick, spoke to him today about a conversation around a 3 chairs
party here in SF.

Has everyone here bought my new release yet??

Hey 313,

Here’s a list of mixes of things we’ve been listening to in the studio, we 
usually do one mix a month of stuff we like.
https://soundcloud.com/the-black-dog/sets/listening-series

This is a list of things we did while involved in the Conspiracy World, we had 
to leave due to the worries about mental health and some of the very dark 
people involved. One hour pieces on different subjects, free to download of you 
can pay over at our stores if you wish.
https://soundcloud.com/the-black-dog/sets/the-conspiracy-tapes-2018

Right now we are recording stuff and making sound packs for Ableton.

As for what’s happening on the list, it’s kinda sad. I’ve seen one person 
destroy place like UK Dance and The Big Chill before, it would be a shame for 
it to happen here.

I can't see how anyone here would be ok with one member's explicit suggestion 
that simply subscribing to unwritten board rules (on hatefree speech, really) 
would link to being ok with rape culture. I can't see that. What else is there 
than some degree of malevolence, particularly far away from male violence in 
this case (which I detest, too).

313 Question: does anybody know about fine photography books on nowadays 
Detroit? I liked this one very much: http://www.marchandmeffre.com/detroit. But 
maybe there's more that isn't on sale via usual webshops.

I always felt some kind of link between the melancholy of a partially decaying 
city and some of the better, stringed Detroit techno. Though I hope there's 
enough initiatives still to revive the city center, of course.

Re: Keep it real (and on topic)

2020-02-26 Thread Mr. jp
just about to unsub, some thoughts...
first subbed in '93, then off and on (due to moving/travelling) the rest of
the 90s, mostly on, through the 2000s
Controversy has me realizing that 313 emaiI list doesn't suit my purposes
of reading the couple dozen posts per year (the larger issue), which engage
me. For those posting illuminating content, I am grateful, and don't want
to lose your input! I'm still looking for new new music/producers of note,
updates on new standout events, history/stories when they touch on the
foundation, themes of Detroit techno incl. social justice issues (became
aware, in early 90s through UR/Submerge scene), and concern about the
welfare of the artists who have given so much.
The more petty squabbling and pointless self-aggrandizement, the less I
wade through these emails (missing a few things no doubt), and the more I
wish to unsub, for sure. If ppl wish to stay with the list, I still think
that's great, maybe we could get a comments section on the archives, and
the rest of us could self-curate/tag the posts through there?
Yes, fewer ppl every year care about 313 techno, the kids have long moved
on to bigger sounds of trap, and newer, etc. Most of my friends from this
list (incl. those with record labels, music careers) unsubbed long ago. But
still some great troopers on here like Kent, legends like Andrew Duke ...
how not to lose the baby with the bath water? This music still has a vital
perspective that the world needs, and the increase in diversity of new
producers (incl. race, gender... anyone) making it means it isn't dead, I
think.

it’s really bizarre and ironic that the Innovator could be catalysis for the 
313 list breaking up.  I hope not !

So I guess there’s the “two wrongs don’t make a right” argument vs “we
tried to reply respectfully at first but she keeps replying with hostility
while trying to justify her tone”

What I replied earlier that wasn’t copied here in the group was asking why
Kent would risk losing many for the sake of accommodating one.  Makes no
sense whatsoever.  There are unwritten rules of conduct in each scenario
which she’s clearly in violation of.

Lastly I feel that if she was a dude she’d have been 86’d by now (or at
least on a last warning regarding her tone).

I would also hope mutual respect to be preserved, instead of hostile egoism, 
leaking from one quite specific mind openly.

Hostile and belligerent tones create negative space, leading to members to hold 
back or withdraw from any contribution. This list should be about all we want 
to know and share on the D. Music and stuff related. But the D. The one and, 
can I say, single D, please. No ego should matter here.

She has been a friend to so many, built so much along the way, opened
doors and kept them open.  I hope my good friend decides to stay on
313, but either way I honor the decision.

So here is what I have to say: this raises core questions about the
ongoing purpose of this list.  If we can't respect each other, why
should any of us continue to subscribe?

The 313 list has been a valued and even inspirational resource for me
for a quarter century.  It has persisted long after most of the other mid-1990s
mailing lists have faded away.  It has enabled lifetime friendships.

Interaction online exposes different viewpoints and that's actually
beneficial -- as long as we truly demonstrate respect for each other.
Without that, there is no reason to continue.

Let me be very clear -- Kent is a good friend and has been an
absolute stalwart maintaining this list since . . . a long time : )
He has bent over backwards to be fair and my point about
respect applies just as much if not more to our interaction with those
like Kent who take on responsibility to manage community resources.

Re: Keep it real (and on topic)

2020-02-26 Thread Fred Heutte
I'm also basically a lurker these days but a list member since 1994.  Also
had the great fortune to meet Lakuti along with Earl Gateshead and the
Flying/Plastic People crew in London 20 years ago -- and saw her play
at the Detroit Artist Test Lab during the festival last year.  (damn, that was
a Throw Down!)  She has listings on RA (so many!).

https://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/lakuti/dates?yr=2020

She has been a friend to so many, built so much along the way, opened
doors and kept them open.  I hope my good friend decides to stay on
313, but either way I honor the decision.

So here is what I have to say: this raises core questions about the
ongoing purpose of this list.  If we can't respect each other, why
should any of us continue to subscribe?

The 313 list has been a valued and even inspirational resource for me
for a quarter century.  It has persisted long after most of the other mid-1990s
mailing lists have faded away.  It has enabled lifetime friendships.

Interaction online exposes different viewpoints and that's actually
beneficial -- as long as we truly demonstrate respect for each other.
Without that, there is no reason to continue.

peace

Keep it real (and on topic)

2020-02-26 Thread Benn Glazier
  
  

 I’ve seen Lerato on this list for some time. Just seen on their Insta that 
they’ve been playing back in my old home town in Australia and doing great 
things (nice warm fuzzies there).   And I welcome what Lerato posts - even if 
the emails are few and far between.
  

  
I’ve only ever had to block one person on 313 and unfortunately others still 
are responding to these posts and most if not all   are sick of the bloviation 
being spouted.
  

  
It’s a crying shame that in a community that’s always been about the music that 
someone is causing people to unsub because of their trolling behaviour.
  

  
I couldn’t care less where you sit on the gender binary.   Your personal 
business is your own. I   care about whether you’re a good person who has value 
to add to a conversation. I’m not seeing that.   
  


As I sit here in Amsterdam airport heading home for another week, I reflect on 
the times of the Lowlands list and when 313 had signal and a decent signal to 
noise ratio. Now it’s largely spiteful noise. I’m just about to tune out.

Sweet Lerato. I am familiar with your work. I have no platform because most
people don’t want to know about history and true stories. Check my archival
collection at the Archives of African American Music and Culture at Indiana
University. You’ll see mostly Black men’s voices. Black men from Detroit.

 Well, Kent, nobody knows who’s unsubbing except for you. So maybe it’s

 I wish I had money to go clubbing more often in Detroit. I wish I had a
 boyfriend to go clubbing with. But I’m pretty sure I never been wishin I
 was Black because then you have to suffer racism.

 I do love the internet though because I can follow Liquid Sky and other
 NYC 90s rave accounts on Instagram and see pics of clubs I used to go
 raving at in NYC in 1995-1999 when I was going to NYU. Like Twilo, I forgot
 about Twilo. And Shelter. And Vinyl. And Roxy. I brought baby powder for
 the floor at the Roxy sometimes in my bright blue Adidas backpack, or my
 Lisa Frank backpack, cause I was a preppy raver. And the nights, like
 Konkrete Jungle.

 Too off topic? Too emotional? I’m so irrational.

Dude Kent why don’t you simply remove her?  She clearly violates any sort
of “code of conduct” that doesn’t need to be written down but rather seen
as common sense.

That, and she makes other members uncomfortable regardless if she crosses
any lines or not with her constant race and gender baiting.

 Well, Kent, nobody knows who’s unsubbing except for you. So maybe it’s
 just your family.

 I wish I had money to go clubbing more often in Detroit. I wish I had a
 boyfriend to go clubbing with. But I’m pretty sure I never been wishin I
 was Black because then you have to suffer racism.

 I do love the internet though because I can follow Liquid Sky and other
 NYC 90s rave accounts on Instagram and see pics of clubs I used to go
 raving at in NYC in 1995-1999 when I was going to NYU. Like Twilo, I forgot
 about Twilo. And Shelter. And Vinyl. And Roxy. I brought baby powder for
 the floor at the Roxy sometimes in my bright blue Adidas backpack, or my
 Lisa Frank backpack, cause I was a preppy raver. And the nights, like
 Konkrete Jungle.

 Too off topic? Too emotional? I’m so irrational.

That’s fine but why can’t folks tell “certain people” to chill the f out?

Is it because she’s a woman, hates being white or wishes she was black?

Keep it real (and on topic)

I generally just let the 313 list be. Frankly it's been moribund lately and
probably has more subscribers outside of Detroit than inside; the flavor is
completely different than it was 20 years ago. And even typing "20 years
ago" about a mailing list feels weird.

I don't know what to think about the Derrick May beefing -- I'm not close
enough to any of the principles in that fight to know what's up.  I'd
rather that the focus stay on music, and to my mind, it's been 30 years
since Derrick May's really been musically relevant.

There are loads of Detroit producers and DJs who are doing great things
now, and I think we've all been remiss to not amplify those musicians.
There are vital new voices like Ash Lauryn, who deserve more attention:

And it's clear there's a lot of emotional upset and personal issues that
have spilled onto the list.  I don't want to say that's not appropriate
content, but it should be in the context that we're a group of friends,
widely dispersed geographically, with something in common. So keep in mind
you're talking to a friend, and they deserve respect even if you disagree
with them.
