While Alex sleeps I'm posting like crazy... oh well I am really trying to say on topic things.
I think Grovskopa is good too, I have some friends that are into that whole circle of stuff, seems like the only good harder techno is coming from that school of techno these days. Since the other stuff seems to have gotten quite clubby and cheesy... Reeko is another that puts out pretty decent tracks in that style, I think Martin Dust probably could inform us more on records in this style.... maybe??? Also, on the harder tip, and 313 techno: when Regis came to Chicago, the ATTACK PEOPLE from Detroit did a super hot hard techno live PA, I definitely recommend checking them if anyone gets a chance. I do think the list loses a certain flavor because Detroit peeps no longer seem to participate. I'm considering hanging out on Detroitluv as a substitute... Cus I really don't want to just talk ABOUT Detroit, I need to stay up on what's going down there, as I live in Chicago which I consider to be a sort of sister city. I'm hoping to take a trip to the D over xmas too - anyone reading this from the D, it would be nice if you could give me a holla holla. And yeah, really CURIOUS about movement. ~David ---------- Original Message ------------- Subject: (313) Re: On Topic: Movement 2005?

Actually, it's kinda funny - I had this proto-posting in my head in response to the OT thread, and one of the things I was going to mention was how *few* people in the Detroit metro area were still on the list. (No more Rob Theakston, no more Bryan Bickell - R.I.P., no more Steve Lammers, no more Dave Walker, ...) Some of the others still here don't post anywhere near as often as they used to (Jeff Klein, Dan Sicko, ...). That's definitely colored things differently around here - part of Detroit Techno Culture to me is the Culture part, and hearing about goings-on in Detroit. Mailing lists always have an ebb and flow to them, and are defined by the characteristics of the posts of the members. I can't really contribute to the list in terms of records anymore, because I don't buy any records. (I do appreciate all the references though, as I can find a few things on SoulSeek.) A lot of stuff on this list is pretty obscure - I see artists and labels fly by me a lot of the time that I've never even heard of. (Garrett just turned me on to DJ Grovskopa, for example - I'd never heard of him. Vaguely Surgeon/Regis-like goodness - check http://www.psnz.net/grovskopa.com/mixes.html out. I love it - just had never heard of it before.) Part of what a mailing list does is act as a Commons - if people post about that hot new 12" of Grybbnik by Mystipikl but no one else has it, there won't be many responses, will there? And the original poster will think "Sod it, no one wants to talk about Mystipikl, I won't post anymore". Self-defeating, really ... - Greg
