Re: [313] richard harvey explanation
Ali here from Overload Magazine (Bristol, UK). It's been interesting to follow this User thing over the past few days, especially as we're running a double-page feature on Birmingham in the next issue of the mag and the last thing we want to do is print something that is false or misleading. Please don't take this as gospel, I report what I hear... I've heard a lot of different stories from a lot of different sources about User records. I've been led to believe that Richard Harvey (the name that appeared on a couple of old Downwards EPs) was just the name used for licensing on the Hawtin mix. This is quite possibly the case, although I did also hear once that Richard Harvey was a dustman from Birmingham (!). I personally don't think Richard Harvey ever existed. Integrale informed me many months ago that User is Dean Cole. Indeed, I have a fax interview with User (Dean Cole) completed back in February. Clearly it is difficult to verify answers by way of a fax interview (which is one of the reasons I always like to interview artists face-to-face). Abuser, on the other hand, I've been led to believe (from UK DJs) is not Dean Cole, but a certain NY producer who has been cropping up in this discourse. I have also been told (rightly or wrongly) by a couple of UK DJs that the same chap was also repsonsible for some early User output. I must admit that the production styles of all the User records do seem to vary, which leads me (rightly or wrongly) to believe it may be more that one producer producing the trax. Dean Cole's recent release on his own Corrosion label had plenty of generic User tendencies to it, yet the promo of User 10 reviewed in our last issue seemed different still. One thing that has struck me about all this comes back to the 'faceless' techno thing. User records are highly effective dancefloor tools, nothing else - even commercial UK DJs like Sasha have been playing them. It would be easy for someone to have laid claim to early User productions and be milking the cashcow after a couple of releases, but this didn't happen. As the plot thickens, obviously people want answers. I report what I have been told. If someone can fill in the gaps, I'd be a happy man.

Re: [313] richard harvey explanation
Hi again friends... Dean Cole AKA Richard Harvey AKA User records, first came into contact with music while attending various heavy blues parties. His uncle operated the legendary ROADBLOCK Sound System. The ACID HOUSE explosion of 88 took hold of the fifteen year olds imagination and was soon experimenting with Cheap keyboards drum machines. Various trips to New York brought another influence the mighty 'Franky Bones', creating sampling brought new possibilities to Cole's approach to making music. He purchased a sampler and began to utilize rhythms and sounds from various sources to create heavy up-to date trax with tip off the hat to the early innovators of dance electronica. Dean Cole prefers to remain in the background giving max respect to the originators. While people may criticize his methods, there is no argument to the power of his trax on the dance floor. It really is a case of 'Shut Up and Dance'. And once again: It's all here...

Re: [313] richard harvey explanation
Yeah, thanks for the input... The only reason I ask is that, you know, richie can get weird with his approaches. I have most of the user records (still trying to find 001a), but I was always a little confused because lack of info... But there still remains this weird question about what's up with the DE9 artist naming... When you put DE9 into that new microsoft media player, all the artists names come up on each track and title. Well, to make a long story short, here's how it comes up- ratio : early blow richie hawtin : dumped richard harvey : (02) richard harvey : (04) richard harvey : (01) richard harvey : (01) richard harvey : 001a richie hawtin : b2 richie hawtin : road to rio richie hawtin : b1 richie hawtin : A2 richie hawtin : A1 richard harvey : 002a - b1 jeff mills jeff mills jeff mills jeff mills richie richie nietzer ebb ect... u, clearly this is a conscious effort to label the artist and tracks this way... any input? darw_n create, demonstrate, toneshift... http://www.mp3.com/darw_n http://www.sphereproductions.com/topic/Darwin.html http://www.mannequinodd.com - Original Message - From: john holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Sunday, October 01, 2000 11:39 PM Subject: [313] richard harvey explanation richard harvey is not richie hawtin, richard harvey is from london, he is also know as user which is some of his latest work. the user tracks are the ones that appear on the decks, efx, 909 disc. hopefully this brings some clarity to you. troy __ Do You Yahoo!?

That's what I thought to, but every CD I put in, is completely accurate, my Cure CD's (don't laugh) actually have the year next to each track... No, the data is certainly entered in like that... I am very curious about this... darw_n create, demonstrate, toneshift... http://www.mp3.com/darw_n http://www.sphereproductions.com/topic/Darwin.html http://www.mannequinodd.com
