OH CHRIST! I went away for 2 weeks and I came back to almost 800 new
messages in my inbox - the vast majority being from this list (I
know, I should have unsubscribed) - spent most of this morning
sorting them, good thing I don't have a job or anything
anyway, on to more important things:
SLEEP MUSIC
1. Why can't you hear this kind of thing played out in clubs? Two
obvious answers I suppose, firstly - you can but I've missed it,
secondly - because clubs want people to dance and buy beer rather
than fall asleep. What happened to all the backrooms? I used to have
some wicked sleeps in them.
2. Would anyone in London/UK be intersted in coming/contributing to
an event based on this kind of music if I organised it, in a
warehouse rather than a club? (Possibly Sunday mornings?)
This is actually a long time bugbear of mine since despite my various
playing out guises, 'sleepy' music is my true DJing love + a lot of
the material has strong influences/been influenced/includes 313 stuff.
Any views?
Dan
P.S. I'm not talking about the big chill here, though respect is due.
my picks from Dreamland:
Harold Budd "The White Arcades"
TUU "All Our Ancestors"
Loop Guru "The Third Chamber"
Global Communication "Pentamerous Metamorphosis"
