Hello, Last week we had an informative interview with Alan Oldham of Pure Sonik Records. We discussed his experiences in the music industry and his perceptions of Detroit. Alan has a new project called "The Sexy Adventures Of Orietta St. Cloud". The Comic comes with a compilation CD with exclusive tracks by Jeff Mills, Rich Hawtin, Stewart Walker, Brain Zentz, Marco Passarani, and Alan Oldham. The project will be shipped in a 12" sleeve and should be available in stores this week.
Alan will also be relaunching his first label, Generator Records, later this year with a label retrospective. Generator will follow up with new releases shortly after the retrospective. Also be on the look out for Pure Sonik 17: "Neutra EP". Neutra will feature three banging floor tracks, and a jungle track on the b2. Neutra will be in stores in March and white labels are currently available. http://www.puresonikrecords.net/ This week I am going to do a feature on the new Dimension 5 album, Alien Artform. This is precisely the record I have been looking for, it combines the elegant grace of Detroit Techno with an advanced rhythmic sensibility. It takes the conventional sonic palette of Detroit, Roland percussion, analogue washes and digital bleeps and twists the familiar into a new and interesting shape. I cannot say enough good things about this record. I am going to play the entire album on the show tonight. Alien Artform will be available in stores in March. http://www.delsin.org Current Playlist 01.26.02 Jeff Mills-The Theme (The Sexy Adventures...)
