Fw: purging my record collection
Hi All, I'm embarking on a home project, and it's sadly time to get rid of a portion of my record collection, about 250 records (list to be provided). It is important to me is that they go to a good home to be DJ'd or listened to rather than sold to a dealer. I can't take the time to ship them, so if you are able to drive/fly/take the train to a town just just outside of Boston MA USA, they are yours. I have a second lot of classic house vinyl that I would prefer sell. Alternatively I'd be interested in giving the lot to a reputable 503c arts organization, if you know of one. Please follow up with an email if you're interested. thxGil

Its at the stage now where i need to replace the crossfader… I cannot find anywhere online that sells vestax faders for the 580. Does anyone have any ideas?? Can i buy “any” crossfader and install it? (as long as dimensions match) Also - The inevitable is going to happen soon and I’m going to need to buy a new mixer… To me they all feel cheap (Rane, Pioneer etc). A friend always had Pioneer mixers and they always felt cheap and plasticy and sure enough after a few years they’d basically fall apart. The only mixer that looks worthy is the new Rane 2015. But its a fucking rotary!!! wtf… I understand some people like Rotary Mixers but not me. The just bore me. I need 3 channels minimum and a crossfader. So does anyone have any ideas? If this Rane 2015 had a crossfader id buy it but as it doesnt… Ed

In fact if you check 'One Life' it uses the same sample hook as a Detroit track that I can't quite place, but I'm thinking 'Moodyman' For that matter, 'Make It Last' samples a big chunk of 'What's Going On' by Marvin Gaye, a Detroit artist if there ever was one. I don't like this as much as other stuff on this CD, because it's one of those positive-vibey love songs, and 'What's going on' is one of those songs that can make me cry. It's not terrible, it just feels like it trivializes the source material. As for Ayah, I like her voice a lot. She reminds me a bit of Erykah Badu, but she's smoother and less quirky.

Re: (313) Your last best detroit track
S vs E shouldn't make a difference in reality. Sometimes a record is pressed really really hot and you need to crank up the weight on the needle (for pressing downward) to counteract the grooves pushing back on the needle.i.e., crank it up much more than the recommended balanced + suggested tracking force. try that, especially if most everything else sounds good. - Original Message From: robin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Thomas D.

Re: (313) Movement Update (Redbull, Myspace and Dieselboy)
I'm sure the Detroit purists won't agree, but if for some reason this festival congeals as the US's (other) large electronic music festival (besides WMC), I don't think it's a bad thing at all. I'm still scarred from the late 80s/90s when there was such strong animosity toward any kind of dance music. So getting Myspace sized visibility and year after year momentum can only be seen by me as a positive, as long as it doesn't completely betray its roots. And If I were to be completely pessimistic and assume that in 5 years whatever the festival evolves into only maintains 25% detroit musical presence, that would still be so insanely out of line with the greater dance/festival culture that I'd call it a success. - Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 8:21:28 PM Subject: (313) Movement Update (Redbull, Myspace and Dieselboy) discuss: Detroit - May 24, 25 and 26th will bring Detroit alive with sounds from Movement 08: Detroit?s Electronic Music Festival in Hart Plaza with the Red Bull Music Academy, MySpace promotion and a higher level of production.

Re: (313) Digital Djing
Actually, the Ms Pinky Maxi Patch application's file browser is so primitive, they suggest you use iTunes as a music library front end. So in effect, I browse iTunes using the coverflow view, and drag and drop the file/song onto the appropriate Maxi Patch deck. However, it's really not intuitive to me and I'm still working out whether regular list view, or using a file browser/Finder window is actually easier. Merely identifying a track via cover art thumbnail doesn't trigger the same recollection of the music as holding the vinyl/identifying the record jacket does. For audio files, maybe it's seeing the collection of metadata on one line, or navigating to the file location that recalls the most about a track, without actually hearing it. -Gil - Original Message From: Benoît Pueyo [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO ADD SOMETHING, I ask WHY digital DJ softwares do not have integrated somethiong like COVER FLOW you can find on Itunes / Ipod?

Re: (313) votes
I have got to say that the Pioneers' FX are excellent and well integrated. In fact, their mixers which I've used are fabulous for Techno-style DJing (i.e. heavy-handed FX EQ use). Way better than AH. I always felt that the AH user interface affords the DJ to put too much thought into the mixing. As long as you don't overload the inputs, pretty much any mixer is transparent enough. I'm happy to use my 3-channel, 3-band Numark. It really doesn't color the sound in any meaningful way, and the fader curves feel natural enough. But I definitely agree with tom, that gains should be accessible and give you plenty of gain for playing your older records that were pressed at like -24 relative to today's music. -Gil - Original Message From: Paul Kendrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Thomas D.

These aren't living rooms! Most are living room spaces converted to a DJ's studio. My turntables are integrated into our living room space in much the same way that a piano was commonly a part of the living room, I'd like to think at least :) I prefer to emphasize entertaining company rather than everyone focusing on the DJ and his/her gear. -Gil -Original Message- From: Blaauw, Martijn de [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 29, 2006 11:47 AM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: (313) Dj livingrooms I know, it's a bit scary but some german magazine asked german dj's such as Hell, Väth, Villalobos and Hawtin (well he's almost german) to take a pic of their livingroom...some funny, some filthy, some scary..

re: (313) techno and kids
I am picking up this thread from about 13 months ago... So I finally get to add to this b/c I'm a new, first time dad, as of almost a month ago. As you either know, or can imagine, there's tons of writing and products out there that play on the idea of Classical music being good and calming for baby. I personally think it's a load of hooey and a marketing technique they use b/c in the real world, people associate classical music with intelligence and culture. Someone gave us a baby Einstein CD (a series of toys, music, and video for infants), and it was crap - 40 minutes of classic lullabies played on a general MIDI preset box. My theory goes like this: when baby is in utero, he/she is swimming in fluid. All of the outside sounds get translated to swirling bass, and it's LOUD in there; think about what it sounds like when you're under water. I was looking for the best music to mimic that environment To that end, the thing that just astounds me is that my son loves and is calmed by dubby techno (lucky for me!). When he starts to cry, I play rhythm sound, maurizio, or deepchord over and over. More up tempo Gez Varley, Ifach label, or Rob Hood tracks work too. The trick is turning it up, not to any ludicrous level, but loud enough to feel the bass kick. Cutting back on the highs helps too. Hopefully, his taste in music will continue along this path :) -Gil

RE: (313) Classic beatdown tracks?
agreed 100%. If dance music only encompassed 120 bpm and higher, there would be thousands less great, classic tracks.

RE: (313) DE9 Transitions
Agreed 100%. The mix is pretty blah to me. But minimal techno is trendy now, I hear. Seriously, what's the difference between this mix and someone's own production? All of the sounds are so decontextualized that unless you have all the source material and know it inside out, there's nothing to grab on to, to think that it's a DJ mix. The concept is fabulous, and when someone can apply it to hook-oriented music to make the ultimate mashup, then we can talk. -Gil -Original Message- From: Blaauw, Martijn de [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 8:12 AM To: Nik Stoltzman; 313@hyperreal.org Subject: RE: (313) DE9 Transitions As said, i respect the man for taking things further and trying things new, i mean the mix is good, no doubts about that.

RE: (313) B'More club (was dance in brazil)
IIRC from listening to local radio, Baltimore Club music is REALLY stripped down, low fi, club music. The distinction between club and house, in this sense is that house music pays attention to arrangement, and flow, and groove, etc of a track. Club music is just a beat with one or two variations, and a few vocal samples layered in the mix. It's rough, demo-quality tracks that probably only became a thing b/c it was Baltimore's thing. The music was seriously nothing to speak of. I really never knew what Baltimore breaks were. There were 2 or 3 producers from the town who made their mark outside of the city. Unless there was a large group of bedroom producers sharing tracks with each other, I don't know of any sound or scene that escaped from anyone's studio. Except for a few producers here and there, Baltimore only had a great party scene for a few years, especially in the mid and early 90s. It was (is?) a city that loved to dance, but no purveyor of music. -Gil -Original Message- From: Kent Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2005 9:02 AM To: list 313 Subject: Re: (313) B'More club (was dance in brazil) On 9/22/05, Dr. Lester K.

RE: (313) legit mp3 downloads (artists get PAID)?
Well that's the reason why I asked for a list of who offered digital downloads in the first place. Geeze, my turntables sit collecting dust. I hate the thought of thinking about my next move where I have to box up all my old vinyl. And really, if you take the time to catalog, and backup your music collection it should be fine. Records are great, but they just don't compare to the convenience of keeping things in digital format. Plus, there's really no worry about music going out of print with digital format.

RE: (313) save me, I think I'm going over to the darkside...
(sorry for the techish review, but) Agrd that the new Daft Punk is lousy. This album sounds like it's '97/98 and the Daft Punk guys just bought their synths that acknowledged people wanted to hear resonant-filter-based sounds - from the first wave of subtractive analog filters and digitally modeled distortion. The sounds are harsh and digital. Every listen makes me think they're biting off their countrymen, M83... There's a second dimension in that Daft Punk are doing the whole rock-on-synths bit. Besides the fact that they are late to the scene, there's no panache in their execution. Unfortunately I'm tainted - Every time I hear a guitar power chord sound that's pitched up or down only by changing the playback frequency (i.e. no sophisticated modeling, etc), I can't help but remember in 1988/89 downloading tracker songs on the Amiga and listening to demos - these underground tracks were all about the rock-vibe recreated electronically. Sure they hold a special place in my memory, but we're 15 years later. If there was some kind of nostalgic angle to their songs, I might think otherwise. I could rehash why Discovery and Homework are so great and how high they set the bar with those albums, but it's just frustrating. -Gil NB: The track Robot Rock liberally (i.e. the whole damn hook) samples from Breakwater's Release the Beast (1980), check out the original it's pretty cool.
