mills doesnt use a 909 in any imaginative way anyways IMO and yes he does suck at spinning records, HOWEVER, he spins the best tracks of any DJ I have heard.. thats why continue to listen to him and pay money to see him when he decided to go to detroit. hawtin is pretty good with a 909 on a good night. but for my money I would see acquaviva over Mills. plz no flames. just my opinion -Joe -- R17 is not a fixed velocity, but it is clearly far too fast. -- - Original Message - From: "danito" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "313" <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 2:46 PM Subject: Re: [313] Don't forget the Wizard! > this fashion thread is pretty lame. > > as far as mills not playing techno anymore, that is no big thing to me, > seeing how he has been to the detroit area like twice in the past seven > years. he hasn't rocked it since "sickness" anyway, so i am not all that > bent up about it. if i lived in the UK it might have more of an impact on > me, cause they get to see him more often there. i have always thought of > mills as an overrated techno snob..i mean why does he even have three tables > if he never uses three at once. i have never seen or heard a mix of his > where he didn't trainwreck. i never held that agianst him for some reason > though. he could just throw on "step to enchantment" and that would make his > set. the main thing i will miss is his use of the 909. oh well > > - Original Message - > From: "Ron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "313" <313@hyperreal.org> > Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 2:01 PM > Subject: Fw: [313] Don't forget the Wizard! > > > > hi tim,, > > i could share your attitude concerning the "what to wear" topic, > > but i do live in germany and if you would have been to a technoparty over > > here > > in the last 3 years you would probably think the same way peter does. > > its such a f***huge fashion thing, its become a thing about how to wear > what > > and how to get his hair dressed up to stand 6 inches high,,,not to mention > > the accesories > > it happened to me more than once that a absolutely clueless doorkeeper (is > > it called like that??) > > told me im not going to get to that party because im not dressed the > proper > > way > > and my hair isnt styled and i dont wear that neglace you have to wear if > you > > are into > > techno.and so on. > > you see,,,i really love to see mills teaching the crowd... > > because thats also what means techno or music at all for me,, > > learning and teaching,,,,understanding.. > > ron > > > > -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- > > Von: "Tim Maughan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > An: "Grammenos, Peter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'laura gavoor'" > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <313@hyperreal.org> > > Gesendet: Montag, 28.

Re: [313] Don't forget the Wizard!
this fashion thread is pretty lame. as far as mills not playing techno anymore, that is no big thing to me, seeing how he has been to the detroit area like twice in the past seven years. he hasn't rocked it since "sickness" anyway, so i am not all that bent up about it. if i lived in the UK it might have more of an impact on me, cause they get to see him more often there. i have always thought of mills as an overrated techno snob..i mean why does he even have three tables if he never uses three at once. i have never seen or heard a mix of his where he didn't trainwreck. i never held that agianst him for some reason though. he could just throw on "step to enchantment" and that would make his set. the main thing i will miss is his use of the 909. oh well - Original Message - From: "Ron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "313" <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 2:01 PM Subject: Fw: [313] Don't forget the Wizard! > hi tim,, > i could share your attitude concerning the "what to wear" topic, > but i do live in germany and if you would have been to a technoparty over > here > in the last 3 years you would probably think the same way peter does. > its such a f***huge fashion thing, its become a thing about how to wear what > and how to get his hair dressed up to stand 6 inches high,,,not to mention > the accesories > it happened to me more than once that a absolutely clueless doorkeeper (is > it called like that??) > told me im not going to get to that party because im not dressed the proper > way > and my hair isnt styled and i dont wear that neglace you have to wear if you > are into > techno.and so on. > you see,,,i really love to see mills teaching the crowd... > because thats also what means techno or music at all for me,, > learning and teachingunderstanding.. > ron > > -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- > Von: "Tim Maughan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > An: "Grammenos, Peter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'laura gavoor'" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <313@hyperreal.org> > Gesendet: Montag, 28.

Re: [313] Don't forget the Wizard!
I understand your concerns Rin - its the same here - except luckily its not techno parties. people only dress like that for trance - so they kind of deserve it;) but i did actually see i show on TV about berlin and i was kind of concerned to see what people where wearing - but i believe in NO door policy, so its a shame and a crime if your being excluded. it really sucks. are people dressing like that even at Tresor now?

I personally dont *like* glowsticks at parties I play at... the general reason that the glowsticks are used is to play with when you are on E. and I dont endorse the drug culture thats been paralleling the techno scene in the US for 3-4 years now. making kids on E dance doesnt mean much to me because they would be dancing to anything with 4/4 timing at that point. just my 2cents -Joe -- R17 is not a fixed velocity, but it is clearly far too fast. -- - Original Message - From: "Grammenos, Peter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Tim Maughan'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'laura gavoor'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 1:17 PM Subject: RE: [313] Don't forget the Wizard! > > > -Original Message- > From: Tim Maughan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 1:12 PM > To: Grammenos, Peter; 'laura gavoor'; 313@hyperreal.org > Subject: Re: [313] Don't forget the Wizard! > > > on 28/1/02 5:28 pm, Grammenos, Peter at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > How many dj's do you know > > that ban glowsticks and all that accessory raver crap from his dancefloor? > > Too many. that might not be his or my style, but telling people what to wear > is too much attitude. it goes against everything that first attracted me to > house music. we don't need that sort of ego, and people need to wise up and > realise who is paying who's wages. > > PG> The ravers in question didn't come for the music, danny, or the vibe of > be yourself @ vinyl party, they came because Twilo was shut down and to sit > around and do drugs.

Re: [313] Don't forget the Wizard!
I think Laura is on to something...particularly if the phrase "house club" means a club where house music is played. I've detailed this story before...I remember Kevin Saunderson throwing a set at the Majestic in Detroit. First "rave-style" party I'd been to...in that there were like 16 djs and two rooms (a house room and a techno room). By the time we got there Jeff Mills was spinning in the "techno" room. Because I hadn't heard him in a long time I stuck around for a bitthen left as soon as I could, because the vibe was more of a concert vibe. People were ALL turned towards Mills...and dancing with themselves. After getting literally knocked around a bit, me and my girl went to the house room. Where it was more intimate...and people were dancing with each other and engaged in a different type of dialogue with the dj. Now I'm not as well traveled, and there could be a LOT of different stuff going on here that I'm not aware of. but when i FIRST saw the original post, my majestic experience loomed large. and though i've never been more than a bedroom dj (except for that one party in inkster when i was in high school that got shot up haha) i think i'd get more of a vibe from the house experience i described above rather than the techno experience. peace lks - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [313] Don't forget the Wizard!
Not to knock Mills because i've only seen him spin in NYC a few times, but to dismiss danny t. as just a footnote in the story of mills is just plain wrong. How many dj's do you know remix/produce a song every week to play just for their weekly party? How many dj's come out every week from their booth to go out and greet the crowd and ask how they felt last weekend after the night? How many dj's give friends a chance to spin at their party or play a track they've been working on for months? How many dj's do you know that ban glowsticks and all that accessory raver crap from his dancefloor? He's approachable, hard working, and has a passion for the music I've only seen in a few others. Sure, over the years Danny has started playing a bit more commercial but it doesn't make him a sell out or less technically skilled than he has always been. He'e going through changes. I've seen him throw many a techno set down at 6am and bang on through till 11am [ after most of the commercial loving ravers have left ] that rivals and/or is better any set I've seen Mills do. I saw mills in the early 90's @ the limelight and just recently (june 00) again at the limelight. Danny used to dance and hang w/ larry levan @ the paradise garage. doesn't get any blacker than that... and what what the hell black has to do with this is beyond me..his parties have soul. Whites, blacks, gays, divas, all used to go to paradise garage and now go to his party. If you ever get a chance to go, stay until at least 6am, it's when his party really begins. And to your point about Jeff Mills being able to out please me [ I am a Danny Tenaglia regular, if haven't already guessed ;) ] , well it's never happened. -pete -Original Message- From: laura gavoor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 11:06 AM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: [313] Don't forget the Wizard! This thread is faulty with regard to one VERY important ingredient: Jeff Mills got his start in 'black' Detroit clubs. He's VERY used to very dressed up, 'bougie' crowds of couples DANCING all night long in a very sexy environment. I think perhaps he really misses feeling a LOT of soul coming back from the dancefloor and perhaps the batcave environments of events say like 'Lost' in London are simply not appealing to him at the moment. Not to mention that he played his own versions--Mastermixes-- if you will, of more popular stuff. Yes, Jeff could outspin and out-please any Tenaglia crowd he chose to--why can I say that? Because he's already done that for years and years while establishing a name for himself in Detroit clubs and on Detroit (and national) radio. Moreover, as a black man playing to mostly white, techno crowdswell I suppose anyone might get bored with too much of any ONE thingwhatever it may be. Danny Tenaglia ain't got a THING over Jeff Mills/The Wizard. Jeff Mills has clocked a coupla decades of djing and crowd pleasing to very persnickety black crowds where if you cleared a dancefloor or the ladies weren't dancing...you simply sucked..no second chances. Think in terms of your own life being one gigantic mix...wouldn't you get bored with the same soundtrack and the same type of crowd--night after night. He is a full grown man with an eclectic perspective on living. One must keep variety in the mix otherwise tings get monotonous...quickly As a fan of Jeff's, I've seen both of his persona's as a dj and I MUCH prefer him as the Wizard to any more globally popular "techno" persona. It's a bit more organic and reaches a wider mass of peeps I think..not to mention that its just MORE FUN prolly for him as well as a fan like myself. Finally, I will say one last thing--aren't these categories and folks' obsessive/compulsive need to categorize this music and pigeon-hole artists becoming more than just a little monotonous?? I welcome any dj that can get up and simply freak a large, ADULT crowd with the wildest array of just plain ole great music of ANY genre. Bear in mind that the young generations currently consuming the whole dj culture thing had literally nothing to do with bringing that culture to life.It has almost become a background setting for their drug taking, and in most cases involves very little activity above that. Why would anyone want to limit themselves or any artist--when there's soo much good music to be heard?? Many of my favorite djs are on a mission to 'break the chains' and barrier/categories placed upon them by the music media and fan base. I know more than a few hugely popular dn'b and house djs that are spinning music from all categories from jazz to rock n' roll to hip-hop, house, techno and beyond I'm kinda interested in the beyond atm..After all...isn't what birthed techno in the first place?
