(313) 313-related night in london this week

2003-08-14 Thread glyn
hi all, 

just wanted to solicit london club night recommendations on behalf of
the significant other, who'll be in town for thursdays the 14th and
friday the 15th (but wishes it was a week or so longer after hearing
about the mills and hawtin gigs) and is looking for a decent
techno/electro/tech-y house event or two to check out.  if anybody has
any suggestions feel free to hit me back privately.

 Also check Balihu if you're up for a Metro Area education.
 
 I picked up Balihu 012 Daniel Wang - Deutsch-Chinesische Hemmungslosigkeit
 EP (12) at the weekend - found by chance in Spain! (I don't think it's
 that hard to find). 

probably not--  i think balihu re-pressed a whole bunch of their
back-catalog relatively recently.

 That is a blatant rip off, period! Tracks feel the same, sound the same, and

 business for this long. But then again, he isn't the first producer to do
 this...

you know, i didn't see the similarity between the other bell mp3 that was posted
a couple of weeks ago, but thought i would give him the benefit of the doubt
until i heard this current that was posted on forcefield.   having checked now
it out, i think it's fairly evident that the tracks have different drum sounds
and programming, different main monosynth lines, and really different-sounding
vocal samples/effects treatments of freak (in all honesty, i think wink does a
lot more with the latter than bell).  sure it sounds and feels like bell (and
also like robert hood-- especially the monosynth line), but a *lot* of techno
tracks sound and feel like other techno tracks.   if wink owes bell anything
over this then samuel l. sessions and every second hard techno producer after
about 1998 or so should be making monthly payments to jeff mills, the deepchord
guys should have already sold their firstborns to the hardwax crew, and every
halfwit who ever lays hand on a tb-303 with the intent of making squelchy noises
should write a cheque to dj pierre  spanky, etc. etc. etc.  the argument here
seems to me to stem more from a dislike for wink and his previous trashy rave
anthems more than it does from any real musical analysis.

Re: [313] Fade in techn0

2002-02-28 Thread glyn
 This is somewhat discourteous on the artist's part, unless the only people
 you want as fans are people so die-hard that they'll take any shit you throw
 at them and suck it back grinning with glee.  My j'accuse is pointed
 straight at Mills' If.  

the funny thing about this record is that, if my memory serves me
correctly, the way the side with the three versions of if is pressed
makes the gaps between the tracks in sync with the tempo of the tracks.  i
serendipitously discovered this when i was doing a set for
targetcircuitry.com, when i dropped the first or second track, brought in
some other record, got distracted by something or other, then looked back
at the mills record to discover that i had managed to play through the
first track and into the next without noticing. 

 I mean, I don't need much, and this is really just
 nit-picking, but a quiet snare, hi-hat, or even a muted kick right at the
 very beginning (even a good 30 seconds before the rest of the track actually
 becomes audible) is a little thing that goes a long way when I have less
 than 45 seconds left to mix and I have several tracks to choose from.  Sure,
 it might sound like I'm creating a brand new kunt-sept-ual way of mixing
 or something.  Then again, it might sound like I'm a fool.  In a pinch, I'll
 pick a less discourteous track.  But that's just me.   :)

i just figured it was a subtle trick to make us all go out and buy
doubles ;P.  i wouldn't really object to the practice if it weren't for
the fact that those tracks are so damn short as well as having the
fade-ins (i won't even get started about that amazing 1:45 song on
drexciya's neptune's lair).

generally speaking, we shouldn't complain too much about having to
beatmatch stuff that's computer controlled/arranged/synched-- as anybody
who's ever tried to mix old disco/funk records can attest.

 i'm not a dj, but i think anyone who complains because a track fades in is
 an arrogant ass. what makes you think that producers should be concerned
 with your needs as a dj. if you don't like it, producer your own tracks.

one could make the argument that because they're selling records on 12
they're largely catering to a dj market, and that by putting fade-ins in
their tracks they're making them less likely to be bought and played out--
something i can relate to to some degree, as i sometimes find myself
neglecting certain records in my crate when i'm playing because they're
trickier to work in.

Re: [313] Fw: Hall Oates

2002-02-14 Thread glyn
 I've seen TP drop Hall  Oates a few times (to try and make this somewhat
 313 topical). [hides head in shame] I was watching their VH1 Behing the
 Music the other day, which was heavilly focused on their breadth, rooted in
 50s and 60s soul. As the show would have it, the pinnacle of their carreer
 was playing with the Temptations at the Apollo (???) in Harlem in '85 (???),
 after which they split up for a while - having fulfilled their greatest
 dreams [cue sappy music]. :)
 
 At any rate, there have been a few apparently unauthorized Hall  Oates
 remixes over the years. I have one that samples I can't go for that,
 taking mostly the bassline, and heavilly filtering the vocal. Disco Dubs
 Volume 1 was the name of the record, with a green label in a clear plastic
 sleeve. 

 Not the best track on the record IMO, but worth checking out if you
 can track down. I imagine it's hard to find these days. Frankly, I think
 their tracks are pretty mixable as is. If you can find any of TPs mixes with
 Hall  Oates - that would definitely be the best example IMO. Then again, in
 TPs hands almost anything can become 313 topical. Rod Stewart anyone? :)

wasn't there that we are love house track from 4 years or so ago that
sampled them as well?

Re: [313] RE: Tone shifting, phantom sound, etc...

2001-01-10 Thread glyn
 Also, out of repetition the mind has a need to create variance. John Lilly
 performed an experiment with a tape loop of the word cogitate being played
 to a room full of psychologists for about 15 minutes.  They were instructed to
 record
 the various word changes every time the tape changed. None of them knew that
 the tape was a static loop.  About 90 percent of the group came back with a
 list of at least ten changes. This was an official psychological experiment
 using other psychologists as the lab rats.

this kind of finding seems consistent with various other sensory deprivation
experiment results and parallels a lot of the visual illusion research, which
suggests that toneshifting is most likely tied in with perceptual processing.
vision tends to get a lot more attention in this kind of area, but i'm sure
there's a substantive body of academic writing out there on this sort of thing
if you really feel like digging for it.

personally, i don't see how styles of music that generate these kind of auditory
effects hold any more artistic merit than others, but that's just me.

Quick comment on the DE9 reference. I agree completely that Rich's use of
 the effects on the tracks brings to light through expression a kind of
 transitional state between two things (w/ reference to the use of delay).
 This transitional state is quite possibly the result of years of listening
 to mixes. Mixes falling off, exposing the difference between the two
 records, and then realigning. But the over use of this effect CAN become
 overly manifest, overly static, and a little boring. No diss to Rich. Trust
 me, he's one of my utmost favorite DJs of all time.  But I remember hearing
 him a couple of times when the delays seemed to be used so often, and at
 such an obvious transitional point in the break down and mixing in of the
 next record that it gave me a not so faint reminder of a time where parties
 were a night of snare roll cresendo after snare roll cresendo, this being
 the primary exciting agent of the peaks in tracks. You know how boring this
 got. Build up, build up, build up, then nothingor a raised cut-off or
 resonance. Of course those with skill, such as Rich, know that a build up is
 nothing if there's nothing to build up to! Anyways, just my two cents! Have
 fun with it. -

i think this is characteristic of richie's recent djing, though. his mixmag cd
from 1995 is very narrative and contains a lot more textural variety than the
mills/user tracks he canes for the first 2/3rds of DE9 (although the latter mix
has been growing on me recently.)

 I can't define what is and what isn't hard house, since it's an ambiguous
 term, but I do believe that a lot of these trance guys are coming to their
 senses a bit and getting tired of all the formulaic trance that has flooded
 the market for the past 2-3 years.  I think a lot of them are turning to
 what's being called hard house because it doesn't have as much of the
 clich?d (aka cheese) stuff that makes so many people dis trance.  In other
 words, it's a safer sound, a sort of compromise between trance and
 Relief-style hard house.

from what i understand, UK hard house is a completely different entity
from US hard house.  UK hard house is basically harder progressive house,
whereas US hardhouse is bad boy bill, richard humpty vission, dj

definitive list of all electronic music subgenres, and asked me a bunch of
questions about techno, like whether such-and-such is a real subgenre, or
which artist would be most representative of that category.  i found it
really hard to give definitive answers on what detroit techno is, or who
would be an essential minimal techno artist.  it's encouraging that the
music is diverse enough that it can't easily be boxed into discrete
categories (i play UK acid-tech-trance, which is infinitely superior to
you UK acid-NU-NRG.)

[313] disco/rare groove/pre-house list?

2000-09-11 Thread glyn
i just recently rediscovered a favorite local record store that seems to
have a whole whack of various disco records and, after picking up a
gorgeous salsoul track, some giorgio moroder, etc., was wondering if
there's a list dedicated to this sort of proto-house/techno stuff, as well
as '70s soul  funk, very early chicago house, etc. 

i know there's a whole bunch of people on here who are fairly
knowledgeable on the subject... ;)

Re: [313] what is techno

2000-06-14 Thread glyn

 yes but the truth of the matter is that if NOONE can give an exact
 definition of techno then how can techno be an exact form of music??

techno is an uncontrollable urge to jack your bo... oh wait

  Does anybody else have the adoration that I do for the stuff that's been
  available on the Kompakt/Kreisel labels?  This stuff is so good that I might
  just have to leave Detroit permanently and hole up in Cologne.  Ok I didn't
  mean that seriously, but these days it wouldn't be a bad move...
 
  Here's what I bought yesterday..

holy hell!

  Of particular attention is the last few in the Kreisel series, along with 
  KOM
  11 by Dubstar.  Jeez this record makes me want to take up writing reviews 
  as
  a full-time hobby.  This stuff is so good I want everybody to hear it.  
  Well it

that settles it, i'm ordering that dubstar record pronto! :) btw anybody
know if there's any relation between the kompakt dubstar and the massive
attack-soundalike from the UK with the same name that released an album a
few years back?  ;)

 Are there only 2, or is there a third?  And what's the deal with the weird

those are great!  i love that little skit on the end of grain 2 with

 I don't know if I caught the start of his set or not, as he was already on 
 when I got into the main room at maybe just before 1am. He was playing an 
 amazing CR sounding track that's on the Richie Hawtin Mary Anne Hobbs mix - 
 crunchy as hell (I'd kill for a track ID).

mary anne hobbs mix?

 I should think that the latter is not responsible for no trance, though. Mr

the francois k mix sticks pretty close to the original, minus a few vocals.
