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
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 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
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
A Hard Black Evening party in Kalamazoo. I had dinner with him, Jay Denham, Claude Young, Surgeon, and a bunch of others...I remember it being pointed out that he was there...was pleased to meet him. So very sad that he is ill. However, he has done one thing that most cannot say that they have: He's left a mark on this world. I am praying for him and his family. -- fbk sleepengineering/absoloop US
Re: (313) Dan Sicko
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. I just noticed that the fund raiser has passed the 100% limit. Without words...

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" wrote: > Donate.
