A13 was owned by a friend of mine Eddie, who lived in Southend on Sea in the South of the UK, and the main route getting to London from Southend is the A13 and that's where the name came from, Eddie was really good mates with Mark Broom and the Plaid guys. I saw him at Lost with Juan, Derrick and Kyle Hall the other week losing his nut to Derrick's set and his still talking of starting another label, and a club. He'll be very pleased people rate A13 as highly as Ifach. He told me once he still has loads of back cat unsold just sat around collecting dust.
Stuff I rate that no one else seems to; Stasis and all the names he recorded under, but I really love the Paul W Teebrooke and Other world collective stuff Lee Purkis/In-Sync All the stuff on Ferox but the Russ Gabriel stuff is excellent Electronic Industries / Octagon Man / Sem Im not sure how over looked it was but the Norma Jean Bell LP- Come in to my room had some ace tracks on it, but the 2 for me are the ones co produced by K-Hand; Nobody and Feel what I like. I think it was massively passed over in the UK ________________________________ From: benny blanco(r) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 03 December 2012 18:36 To: kent williams Cc: list 313 Subject: Re: (313) Ask 313 Okay, I'll bite. I always dug the 'Obscure' Pure Plastic / A13 sounds from Mark Broom/Dave Hill camp in the UK from the 90's. Not always 'detroit', but certainly techno.... and sometimes a nice downtempo breaky track in there too. Some Other Label Faves....

This is an idea for a mix I'd like to do. Here's the question: What is your favorite techno that no one else seems to rate highly? Extra points for being obscure. What's my impetus? I buy a lot of records at thrift stores and from crawling around in the crates on the floor at Dave's in Chicago. I look for things that might be OK based on producer, remixer and artists. So I have a lot of records that have decent to excellent tracks on them, that for one reason or another never got much enduring attention. Since I can't crate dig in Detroit very often, I'm looking for those sorts of things, after which i can engage in Internet searchage.
