Bladerunner It's used on a lot of early to mid 90s techno and trance records - IIRC Pete Namlook is the chief culprit Yeah, 'Fires Of Ork' is one that springs to mind... Carl Craig also used big chunks of the soundtrack as interludes on his Radio One Essential Mix a few years back...

Hi Lauren - I'm surprised you haven't had more of a response to this!

Re: (313) Track ID

Did anyone here go to T in the Park this weekend and catch Carl Craigs live set? I didn't. Me neither - I was only there yesterday, and Carl Craig's set was on the Saturday. Heard brilliant reports from mates who were there though... Caught a bit of Jeff Mills yesterday evening though which was excellent, he's really on fire at the moment... I reckon theres a high chance of the BBC 4 stuff being repeated. I missed all the programmes. Apparently they'll be showing highlights on BBC1 and BBC2 Scotland over the next couple of weeks. They showed a few minutes of Jeff Mills last night, and I'm pretty sure there will be some of the Carl Craig set on future programmes... On Saturday's TV highlights they had an interview with Marco Bernardi in his Carlos Adolfo Dominguez guise which was supposed to be hilarious, I hope they repeat this :) Just found some more info here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/musicscotland/tinthepark/?section=radio_tvpag e=index Was Tom on the TV?

Re: (313) track ID
Sorry for the delayed reply on this one, just got back from a week away to find a 313 email mountain! It was me who originally sent the link to 313 - we recorded the set when Rob came and played for us at the Unit, and put the mix on the Traxx site at www.traxxevents.com/music. But we had to take it down because the link got crossposted to loads of other forums all over the web and the ensuing thousands of downloads rapidly blew our monthly bandwidth limit! If anyone still wants to download it I can provide a super-secret link to where the file now resides, but I'd rather do this over private mail for obvious reasons. Anyway, back to your original question, it's Mine To Give by Photek w/ Robert Owens, from his Solaris album on Virgin/Science. Also came out on 12 with some fairly wack commercial house remixes I believe... Talking of Virgin/Science, I picked up a copy of Stacey Pullen's album recently and can't believe I slept on it when it first came out, there are some ridiculously good tracks on there, a really unique kind of sci-fi broken beat/techno hybrid...

(313) Quick Sonar report
Music highlights for me were: Jeff Mills on Saturday night - incredibly funky and intense, with several mindblowing moments, including a blistering 909 solo and a jaw-dropping piece of work using Sugarhill Gang's Rappers Delight on the new Pioneer DVD deck... Francois K on the Friday afternoon - from Burial Mix to Tres Demented to dub poetry to Stardancer to Instant House to Strings Of Life via loads of top-notch laptop, FX and EQ wizardry, in the sunshine with beer in hand... Soma party at La Terrazza on the Thursday night - not strictly part of Sonar but probably the best vibe of the whole last week, with what seemed like half of Glasgow in attendance. Truly stunning open-air venue on the hillside and loads of smiling people... Roots Manuva at the Sonar Pro party on the Thursday night - went here before the Soma party and was most impressed with Roots Manuva's live set. Great sound, tight band, top tunes... Madlib and co on the Saturday night - jazz drum solos aplenty from Madlib and Prefuse 73, some seriously phat beats from J-Rocc on the decks and some amusing rhyming from Prince Po... Honourable mention also to Matthew Dear's live set on the Friday... Didn't really see a huge amount of music, but the stuff we made an effort to check out was generally excellent. Had an absolutely brilliant time overall and I'm really glad I decided to go again... Cheers, Tom

Re: (313) Glasgow
Am I right in thinking Mark Moritz Von Oswald played in Glasgow on Saturday? Not quite, it was actually Scion doing their 'arrange and process Basic Channel' live set... Tom as well? Yep, doing an 'arrange and process Emoticon/Headspace' live set :) Plus Joe Claussell in the other room... How was it? Anyone go? It was a pretty good night, spoiled only by a pretty ropey sound system in the Scion room which didn't really do any of the music justice. The afterparty at the Unit was suitably messy, Max 404 rocked it and I carried on playing records until the mixer packed in... Were they doing a live type thing, or just playing records with tikiman toasting? It was a twin-laptop Ableton setup. But Mark and Moritz did come up with Tikiman a couple of months back to do the records toasting thing... Here's some pretty good pics of me, Scion and Joe Claussell if you're interested: http://www.archstanton.net/g01/traxxmp0406/index.html Cheers, Tom
Re: (313) Glasgow
Then Scion came on, after about 10 seconds it was obvious that the sound system couldnt handle the bass they were trying to put through it - not sure if there was a problem with the system or if it simply wasnt up to the task, although im sure the Traxx boys know the bass that the Basic Channel tracks have and would have thought the sound system would take that into account. Perhaps Tom can give some info on that? The problem was mainly down to the sound engineer in the room - the same guy who ruined the sound when Francois K played at the Arches. The system itself was up to it, and it sounded fine when we soundchecked earlier in the evening, but the engineer in his infinite wisdom decided to keep messing around with the EQ and the levels over the course of the night, and it just seemed to get worse and worse. This was a major disappointment for everyone, and Traxx have taken steps to make sure he's never in charge of one of their sound systems again. We were all very p*ssed off about it and apparently many harsh words have been spoken by the Traxx boys to those concerned... Apparently Scion are keen to come back later in the year, with Tikiman, and do the set again in a smaller venue with a sound system that will do them justice, so I'll keep you posted as and when I know more... Cheers, Tom

The event was held at the WInter Gardens on Glasgow Green - an enormous glass conservatory filled with exotic plants, attached to the People's Palace museum in the middle of a huge park. Mark and Moritz were in their 'Rhythm Sound 45 sessions' guise, which meant they were basically just playing dub 7s, with Moritz working an echo unit and a dub siren and Paul St Hilaire doing live vocals on top. Plenty of sublime moments, although they didn't play any of their own material, just loads of obscure dub records, most of which I didn't recognise. All good fun though, and they were accompanied by some excellent visuals courtesy of the Glasshouse Transmissions crew - hats off to them for another adventurous night of clubbing in the city, following their previous events with the likes of Weatherall, Skam DJs and Plaid at the same venue. So did anyone go and see RS at Plastic People in London on Sunday? I bet it would have sounded awesome on that sound system... Cheers, Tom

Is it home computer or was it 2 tracks one after the other That segment of the show went... - Numbers/Computer World - It's More Fun to Compute/Home Computer - Pocket Calculator ...assuming they played the same set as the other dates on the tour!
Re: (313) things
anyone got any good jokes? Shamelessly copied from another list: noddy holder goes into a boutique in central brum to buy an outfit for the 1974 totp xmas special. 'owright, nod!' shouts the assistant, 'what can we dow for yow today?' nod replies, 'oid like to buy some roight special gear off yow, its gotta be woild woild woild cos its chrstmas!' the assistant goes into the back, and brings nod a pair of ultra-woild loon pants. nod tries on the loon pants and yelps 'these are fookin fantastic! oill 'ave 'em, luv!' she brings him a sexy tightfitting puce satin shirt with collars that reach as far as dudley. nod nearly wets himself in front of the mirror. 'oi tell yow wot, mate, this shirt is fookin fantastic!' the girl brings out a foot tall mirrored top hat. nod nearly jizzes in his pants. she furnishes him with her finest 11-inch tall red snakeskin platform boots. nod looks the bollocks. finally, an hour later, nod is togged up. he's ready to go, but the assistant looks him over and isnt quite happy. 'noddy', she says, 'do you know, i reckon what yow need is a kipper tie.' nod replies: 'aw, cheers, luv! milk two sugars please!'
(313) Juan Atkins, Louis Digital and CiM last Saturday...
Great night of music in Glasgow on Saturday. First up was Juan Atkins and Louis Digital at the Arches - Louis warmed up in fine style with a nice mix of Detroit classics and jacking Chicago gear with plenty of his own material thrown in. Juan played a set that for me wasn't too exciting, peppered with classics but also a fair amount of fairly dull looped bangers - but he seemed to rock the crowd well enough. The fun really started afterwards, however, with a party at the Unit which kicked off around 3.30. First up was a live set from CiM which was my musical highlight of the night, if not the year - building from sublime electronica to some of his more uptempo Emoticon/Headspace releases and some wonderful unreleased tracks. Juan stepped up again for a two hour set of much more interesting music - house tracks from Theo Parrish and Joshua, a few of his own classics and some really nice deep techno. His mixing may be a bit ropey but the tunes make up for it - and hey, he invented techno, we can cut him a little slack :) Louis finished the night off with another rocking set, until Jupiter Jazz with the EQs up finally caused the sound system to collapse and we called it a night at 7am. A proper Glasgow party... Some Glasgow events coming up soon: March 27: Arne Weinberg Matt Chester April 2: Rhythm Sound w/ Tikiman April 10: Robert Hood Mail me off-list if anyone wants more info. Kraftwerk tomorrow night! Can't wait... Cheers, Tom
Re: (313) samples
iirc, double helix jacked the same string samples for one of their tunes on their emoticon 12. what track are those strings from? There are no samples on the Emoticon release - all the strings are played live and multitracked by Hans Anderson, an accomplished violin and cello player... But the Deep Burnt strings are from Freddie Hubbard's Little Sunflower, which is also one of Theo's Ugly Edits... Cheers, Tom

Re: (313) what's your favorite track/album right now?/HIP HOP
also on rotation is Missy´s Wake up from the last album which is incredible. Yeah, this is my favourite cut on the album for sure - Jay-Z manages to rhyme 'David Beckham' with 'rectum' which is always a bonus :)
Re: (313) what's your favorite track/album right now?/HIP HOP
m. pritchard (sp?) has a nice 12 out as harmonic33 on some german label. That's Alphabet Zoo - there's actually a couple of 12s and a CD album from Harmonic33 so far... The Danny Breaks releases on Alphabet Zoo are also well worth checking - 'The Jellyfish' from his 'Another Dimension' release kicks off the 20.02.04 radio show at www.spatialsounds.com (under 'sounds') - nice stuff in the Dabrye/Prefuse 73 kinda mould... Here's some links: http://www.discogs.com/label/Alphabet_Zoo http://www.rekkid.co.uk/alphabetzoo/ http://www.gmediamusic.com/partnerships/harmonic33.html And Rob, yes it's Mark Pritchard of Reload/GlobComm etc fame - doing much better solo work than Tom Middleton these days IMHO :) Cheers, Tom

Re: (313) edits
what is the difference between an edit and a remix ??? A re-edit, in the original sense of the word, uses only the final two-channel (stereo) recording of a song, which is then cut up, extended, shortened, reversed, put through effects etc. These days this would most likely be done in audio software like Pro Tools, Logic or Cubase, but in the old days it would be done by cutting and splicing quarter-inch reel-to-reel tape. A remix, on the other hand, is generally done by someone who's been given access to the original multi-track tape (in the old days) or individual sounds, loops, samples, beats etc (today). The remixer can then use as many or as few of the original building blocks of the song as they like, in conjunction with musical elements created themselves, to create a new track which uses any number of parts of the original. The primary difference being that anyone with a copy of the record can do their own 'edit', but to do a proper 'remix' you need the original producer to provide you with the song's original 'building blocks' in isolation. Cheers, Tom

(313) New mix
Greetings 313, Just thought I'd let you know I have a new mix online at Domu's website: http://www.dom-uniqueproductions.co.uk It's only in Realaudio on there, but there's a 192kbps MP3 version at http://emoticon-headspace.net/tom_churchill_march04.mp3 which I'll leave up for a few days for those who can handle a 90 meg download... It's not really a 'club' mix, but it covers a range of styles from glitched-up hip hop to slow 'n' low house to outer-space broken beat and retro Detroit techno. Here's the tracklisting: CiM - Dance Party (Ann Aimee) Jimmy Edgar - No Static (Warp) John Tejada Arian Leviste - Language Barrier (Moods Grooves) Kerrier District - Silhouettes (Rephlex) Theo Parrish - Lost Keys (Music Is...)

(313) Mills
Did anyone other UK list-members spot the Jeff Mills mention in the fashion pages of the Guardian's Weekend magazine on Saturday? Quite amusing: http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,3605,1156729,00.html
Re: (313) Theo Parrish remix of DJ Kent
ive had the harmonie park on white label for 2 months. its brilliant. twin cities is the hotness, its going to be a future classic... Yeah, this tune is absolutely killer - if anyone wants to hear it, Gilles Peterson opened his show with it this week. You can check it out online at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_aod.shtml?gilles The show also has a live session from Dani Siciliano which is worth a listen... In other news - went to see Ricardo Villalobos and Jeff Mills at Pressure in Glasgow last night. Villalobos was pretty dull and didn't really do anything for me at all, but Jeff was on fire - tight mixing, hard as nails but funky as hell, working three decks like crazy. No-one beats him for sheer intensity and energy. He was playing bits of 2001: A Space Odyssey off DVD too, and working bits of the sound track into the mix, which sounded pretty cool... So Londoners - if you're torn between Villalobos @ Fabric or Mills @ Lost tonight, I know which I'd choose. Mind you, just noticed Rolando and Luciano are both playing Fabric too, which makes it a bit trickier... anyway have fun whatever you do! Cheers, Tom

Glasshouse Transmissions are putting on Rhythm Sound with Paul St Hilaire (aka Tikiman) here in Glasgow on April 2nd, apparently, for any listmembers north of the border. It's in the greenhouse/garden of the People's Palace on Glasgow Green, which is a pretty cool place for a party. I've not made it to any of their other nights (Andy Weatherall, Plaid, Skam DJs etc) but heard good reports... Also now's probably a good time to plug this: Traxxevents at The Arches, Glasgow Saturday March 13 Traxx room: Juan Atkins (Model 500, Metroplex, Detroit) Louis Digital (Warp/Arcola, Footwork) Tom Churchill Melting Pot room: Cosmo (Bitches Brew, NYC) Simon Cordiner Andrew Pirie More info: http://www.traxxevents.com Cheers, Tom

Vinyl Junkies didn't have it this evening. I think they're expecting it very soon though. I think Rush Hour only started shipping it today - although it's in stock at Juno and in RH's web store. I'm sure it'll hit London by this time next week...
Re: (313) Juno
Thanks a lot to all those who gave me the info on the Juno website. Does anyone know what they are like to order from ? I use them a couple of times a month on average - absolutely faultless service. Definitely the fastest mailorder record store in the UK, I've often ordered records at 4pm which have still arrived the next morning. Their postage rates have increased a bit recently but their record prices are generally pretty good (and often a bit cheaper than other places)... Tom

Re: (313) warprecords
I was just wondering why anyone would? I mean it's just as easy to download from a peer to peer right, and it's free. I wondered the same thing when Apple launched their iTunes Music Store - but eight months later they've sold 30 million songs. And bear in mind the service is only available to Mac users (approx 5% of the market), and only in America. So it looks like the market's definitely there... While we're on the subject - would people on the list pay to download (for example) Headspace and Emoticon tracks as high-quality MP3s? Trying to work out whether it's worth exploring these alternative forms of selling music on such a small scale... Cheers, Tom
Re: (313) axis
So, how come that new Jeff Mills project is £10.99 per twelve? It's ridiculous isn't it? Supposedly it's because they're limited to 2000 copies. But going by that logic, I could sell Emoticon stuff for £20 because they're limited to 500 copies! Also there's a message on the sleeve saying 'Support those who try to make a difference' - well I'd be more inclined to support him if he charged the same for his records as every other struggling independent. and that Mahogani. £7.49 for half a one sided 12? Yeah, they really are taking the p!ss with that...
Re: (313) axis
Yeah, they really are taking the p!ss with that... but peacefrog isnt with their $30 USD private pressing tunes, eh? Well Peacefrog are taking the p!ss as well - I've never said otherwise, have I? its funny that anyone would complain about the prices of mahogani especially considering the general price increase in trying to find a mahogani or kdj record later on down the line. I'm sceptical as to how much the prices really will increase for the latest batch of Mahogani stuff. Even stuff like the ultra-limited Private Pressing isn't going for very high amounts on eBay yet. I think most of the hardcore collectors are buying the new stuff as soon as it comes out, whereas a lot of them would have missed the early KDJ releases first time round, hence the high second-hand prices for those... But while we're on the subject I think the last couple of Mahogani releases have been pretty weak - I wouldn't mind paying full price for a one-sided 12 if the track was amazing, but the AM and Kai Alce things are pretty underwhelming IMHO...
Re: (313) axis
perhaps not, but the uk squad on the list are generally the ones irritated at the high prices here. the peacefrog prices were crazy no matter what country you were in, but they was still defended. in the US the mahogani costs about $1 more than other 12s. knowing how limited these things tend to be it seems silly to worry about $1 now when its out as opposed to potentially much money later on if i decide i want it. It's not the price so much as the fact that there's not much music on the record - Mahigani releases are priced the same as normal US imports here but spending £8 on one short, average track isn't something all of us are happy to do unless the track is really amazing... the first mahogani was already going for mad loot. the andres one is pretty impossible to find already, i wouldnt be suprised to see that one going up like mad sometime soon. Well, they're both in stock and available to buy at Rush Hour, for example - none of the stuff seems too hard to track down yet... well i cant disagree with you more on the AM. thats gotta be one of the hottest house tracks of the past few years... Fair enough - I thought it was stunningly average - but each to their own... ...the kai alce isnt the greatest record ive ever heard, but i like it and it got people moving when i played it out. i dont mind paying extra for stuff that i like, and im a picky guy when it comes to house music. if anyone has my confidence, its kdj. pretty much everything the guy chooses to put out by other people is good. Here's a hypotherical question - would you have bought the Kai Alce record if it had been released on a label other than Mahogani? What if it was an import from Europe on a label you'd never heard of, with no association to KDJ whatsoever? I'm just curious as to what extent the fact that it has KDJ's blessing would influence your decision to buy a record. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big KDJ fan too - I'm just not prepared to buy records which sound average just because they're on his label. If you genuinely like the record and would have bought it regardless then fine, I'm not challenging you - just curious... Tom

Re: (313) mix CD economics (was j. mills)
heres something I've wondered about. when a dj makes a mix cd such as this and features tracks that he/she made or owns the label they were released on or both does that mean that he/she makes out three ways financially - for doing the mix, for licensing the tracks from the label to the mix and for creating the track that's licensed from the label to the mix? no. Yes, if the mix CD is on someone else's label. For example, if Sony released a Jeff Mills mix CD they would pay him a fee to actually do the mix and to be associated with it; plus a licensing advance to Axis for any Axis tracks used; plus mechanical royalties for each of the tracks used, which would eventually reach his publishing company (Millsart BMI). But if he's releasing a mix CD on his own label, the situation is different - he'll be paying mechanical publishing royalties for all the tracks he's using (some of which will eventually come back to him, if he's using his own tracks); plus licensing advances to the labels of all the other tracks he's using...

What's the track about 10 minutes in, that sounds like a mutant cross
between New Order and Giorgio Moroder? A Bernard Summer/Dicken/Albrecht-like
voice intones Total reaction (or something phonetically similar) and the
music is very New Order-esque (but not quite). I quite liked that one ...
Sounds like Aroy Dee - Kiss (NWAQ)
Killer record - and the flip ('The Planets') is even better. My joint
favourite techno record of 2003 along with the Dan Curtin on Down Low...

Re: (313) OT: Ripping with Itunes
I want to take a mix cd of mine with track markings and make a continuous mp3 file to put up on my site so my fellow 313ers can download if they wish. can i do this with Itunes? Sure - here's what iTunes help says - the vital info is in point 3: 1 Insert an audio CD in your computer.

Well, it was launched today: http://www.apple.com/ilife/garageband/ I guess Apple bought Emagic for a reason :)

Re: (313) Forgotten Detroit Classics
... what about those not so well known gems, the ones that are loved and forgotten or the ones 'that got away' ? I'm going to be very lazy and just point here: http://www.hollowearth.org/2003_07_20_oldcrap.html Scroll down to '29 Detroit Techno 12s'...

Re: (313) Best of 2003
As One - So Far (So Good) (Ubiquity) Pschidt. I didn't even know about this. It's a retrospective collection of As One stuff from the past twelve years, selected by the man himself, plus a couple of new tracks - if you're a Kirk fan you'll have most of this stuff already, but it's great to have the highlights together in one place, in nice packaging. A beautiful listening experience, and full of those 'ah, I remember this one!' moments :) Cheers, Tom
Re: (313) Best of 2003
May i know which shop still stock up releases by Bitstream, Counterattack and Surface Effect? I have been looking for the Counterattack releases for a long long time now. Hi Collin! Hope you're well :) You can get a couple of Bitstream (they've done stuff for Signal, Pylon, City Centre Offices and Modern Love) and Surface Effect things from http://www.boomkat.com/ and http://www.smallfish.co.uk And I'm sure Rubadub will have a few things - their website is still down but you could contact Jason Brunton who now works at the shop: [EMAIL PROTECTED] As for the Counterattack stuff - good luck! They're very hard to find now, but they do still turn up from time to time... Cheers, Tom
Re: (313) Dan Curtin - Strictly Rhythm
How are Dan Curtin's Stictly Rhythm releases? Worth £8.50? Yeah, I'd say they're some of my favourite stuff of his from that period. The second one especially is excellent... Cheers, Tom
Re: (313) Dan Curtin - Strictly Rhythm
speaking of strictly rhythm, can anyone remember that MAW techno-y track that came out? Do you mean MAW Electonic's 'Tranz'? Or something older? The Lou2 thing you mentioned was I guess 'Freaky' - Lou2 was Louie Vega and Lil Louis - great track but not particularly 'techno', whereas 'Tranz' is kind of a Kraftwerk homage... T
