RE: [313] some questions
Err, I think you're confusing Man Parrish with Kurtis Mantronix. Two different dudes, tho both are dope electronic music innovators IMO. And both are from New York. -J Man Parrish has some incredible tracks!! Used to DJ our high school dances (from M.A.R.R.S. to New Edition anyone?) in '87 and for 3 years straight we'd open up with Mantronix Bassline... and still rocks a floor to this day. ALso a track nobody really mentions that often is the 12 of Who is it? Came out around shortly after Bassline. The words ask repeatedly 'who is it?' through the whole song, then at the end it's frankly stated the person making the music isn't a person at all. The answer: It's a computer. There were at least 8 different mixes of this track through various pressings, UK vs. US mixes, freestlyle mixes, etc. I think you can still get it on Warlock, there was a big reissue in 1999. Another favorite of his is Boogie Down Bronx, (my main man parrish and cool raul, cooler than the water in a swimming pool) which I distinctly remember hearing in various Wizard mixes back on Detroit radio... good memories.

Re: [313] some questions
Techno- as an adjectival modifier (techno-thriller, techno-urban, techno-speak, etc.) has been around for decades. It's clearly a truncation of technological, and its use as a modifier indicates the rapid and pervasive growth of technology through modern society -- so fast that new terms describing new kinds of economic and cultural phenomena haven't had time to develop directly. So the late-1980s sense of techno music arising from the cycle of utopian early hopes and dystopian reality makes a lot of sense. Juan Atkins didn't coin techno as a six-letter phrase helping to modify some other term, but he definitely gets credit for extracting that phrase and having it stand on its own for a distinctly identifiable music style that relates to the same transformative nature of technology. Doing this may seem obvious in retrospect. Then again, good ideas often are like that ... phred - In his seminal text 'Noise', Jacques Attali celebrates the prophetic power of music. What is pioneered first within music-making is later adopted as the political economy for the whole of society. For instance, the constant turnover of hit records in the 1920s prefigured the mass consumerism of late-twentieth century Fordism. According to Attali, each epoch of music-making creates its own specific social, technological and aesthetic forms. For instance, twentieth century music developed some apparently unbreakable paradigms: stars, fans, record companies, copyright laws, pieces of plastic, top 40 singles and experimental albums. Yet, at the beginning of a new century, these fixed Fordist forms are being superseded. What began with a few skilled DJs mixing vinyl now involves almost everybody with access to a computer and the Net. This new situation won't just create new social, technological and aesthetic paradigms for music-making. As in the past, music is pioneering a new political economy for the whole of society. Napsterisation is a prophecy of the peer-to-peer future. http://www.cybersalon.org/cgi-bin/cybersalon/events.cgi?articleid=151 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [313] some questions
it's got a track called techno Trax on it - yet it was made in 1982; I thought Juan coined the term techno no, Juan didn't coin the term techno per se ... I'm sure it was in the English language long before Alvin Toffler even used it. Juan was just the one that perpetuated the name for the genre ... he is why the first compilation was called Techno! The New Dance Sound of Detroit. -d - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

His submission was called Techno Music. *That's* what prompted them to change the name. -d - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In what context was techno used to describe hip-hop back then? This is just a guess, but back when I was dj-ing in high school (86-87) I think there was an LA label called 'Techno Pop' which released techno tracks disguised as a form of hip-hop (I think Cli-n-tel was one of the artists with 2030) The artwork on the label was red and yellow...along the same lines of Surgery (Dr. Dre) and Unknown DJ. Maybe that's what Derrick was referring to..? JB - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
