<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;">
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Renowned Bristol vinyl collector,  label  owner and producer </span><a href="http://www.myspace.com/punchdrunkrecords" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Peverelist</span></a> <span style="color:#ffffff;">has launched a new record label called Unearthed to release remastered tunes from the Bristol sound-system scene of the early 90s. The</span> <a href="http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=237687" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">first release</span></a> <span style="color:#ffffff;">comes from foundational Bristol headz</span> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/smithandmighty" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Smith &#38; Mighty</span></a> <span style="color:#ffffff;">with the rerelease of</span> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndkNzcmooiQ" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">U Dub</span></a> <span style="color:#ffffff;">and </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FlXIWUroXk" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Bass is Maternal</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/ndkNzcmooiQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/ndkNzcmooiQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">While it&#8217;s interesting to see the early interplay between the digi-dub sound pallette and hardcore breaks the tunes themselves are a bit of a let down; U Dub has quite a nice rolling vibe to it but the release still serves as more of a history lesson than a vital opportunity to get hold of a tune I&#8217;ve been gagging to play out.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">Speaking of the early connection between dub and techno and sound system  re-releases this seems like an opportune time to ask what&#8217;s happened to </span><a href="http://www.basicchannel.com/label/Basic+Replay" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Basic Replay</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">?</span><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="color:#ffffff;"> </span>Run by</span> <a href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Mark+Ernestus" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Ernestus</span> </a><span style="color:#ffffff;">and </span><a href="http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/video-archive/lectures/moritz_von_oswald_early_morning_freestyles" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Moritz</span> </a><span style="color:#ffffff;">from </span><span style="color:#ff00ff;"><a href="http://www.basicchannel.com" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Basic Channe</span><span style="color:#ff00ff;">l</span> </a><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">the label was always scarily on point with its selection and beautiful remastering of early digi-dancehall releases from established names such as Gregory Isaacs and lesser known artists such as White Mice and </span><a href="http://www.myspace.com/tenastelin" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Tenastelin</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span> <span style="color:#ffffff;">It hasnt had a release now since 2006 but I still hope (in vain?) that there are more to come.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">Here&#8217;s a couple of favourites from the label&#8217;s back catalogue &#8211; most of which can still be grabbed on vinyl or CD </span><a href="http://www.boomkat.com/search.cfm?q=basic+replay&#38;commit=Search" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">here</span></a><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></span></span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Have you ever felt the urge of being catapulted into orbit with a fire cracker shoved up your rear ?]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-943" title="52151969.SpaceMountainDisneyWorld" src="http://simonspacerock.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/52151969-spacemountaindisneyworld.jpg?w=300" alt="52151969.SpaceMountainDisneyWorld" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Have you ever felt the urge of being catapulted into orbit with a fire cracker shoved up your rear ?</p>
<p>Now&#8217;s your chance!</p>
<p>Electronic pioneers &#8211; <strong>Fuck Buttons </strong>- have for long experimented with breaking boundaries of electronic possibilities. Some good, some bad, some unlistenable and some like beamed from another planet to wreak havoc on us mortals.</p>
<p>Admittedly I found their last album &#8211; <strong>&#8220;Tarot Sport&#8221; &#8211; </strong>hard going. To sit through the entire thing will definitely challenge you. Nevertheless &#8211; it does contain this giant juggernaut of celestial celebration &#8211; or is it a homage to Disney World ? &#8211; which is exactly the equivalent of said above.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Space Mountain&#8221;</strong> touches on the same soundscapes as Detroit legend &#8211; Jeff Mills &#8211; has been experimenting with for years, and it bears an extremely close resemblance to Track 4 on Jeff Mills&#8217; multi limited &#8211; and dead hard to get &#8211; Axis 9 release or even on his production of &#8220;Enforcement&#8221; on the even harder to get Basic Channel #1!</p>
<p>In short &#8211; &#8220;Space Mountain&#8221; &#8211; is complete spellbinding experimentation. A lesson in restraint, and a lesson in taking a sound, and drive it to the point of no return&#8230;&#8230;.and that&#8217;s without ever bringing in a kick!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a DJ and you&#8217;re searching for the perfect drop&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;this it!</p>
<p>If not &#8211; take the trip anyway&#8230;&#8230;.enjoy your ride!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://hardwax.com/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-265" title="Hard Wax Logo" src="http://oktagon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hrdwx.jpg" alt="Hard Wax Logo" width="250" height="53" /></a>Der Berliner <strong>Plattenladen <a title="Hard Wax Berlin" href="http://hardwax.com/" target="_blank">Hard Wax</a> </strong>feiert <strong>20jähriges Bestehen</strong>! Gegründet kurz vor dem Mauerfall im tiefsten Berlin-Kreuzberg, war Hard Wax lange Zeit der einzige Plattenladen in Berlin, der sich auf House und Techno spezialisierte. Der Laden wurde damals schnell bekannt für seine guten Beziehungen nach USA (Detroit, Chicago) und London, und die daraus resultierenden Plattenimporte sicherten ein unschlagbares Sortiment und einen hervorragenden Ruf.  Schon damals war für in- und ausländische DJs, die in Berlin spielten, ein Besuch im Hard Wax Pflicht, so dass es oft vorkam, dass sich beim Plattenvorhören auf dem Plattenspieler nebenan z.B. <strong>Jeff Mills</strong> die neuesten Sachen anhörte.</p>
<p>Anfangs noch in der <strong>Reichenberger Straße</strong>, mit Electric Indigo, DJ Rok mit den tätowierten Armen, Rene und Pete, und anderen, bildete sich rund um den Plattenladen ein Kollektiv von Musikern und Labels, die bis heute in verschiedenen Konstellationen und verschiedenen Namen hervorragende Musik veröffentlichen. <strong>Basic Channel! </strong>Maurizio, Chain Reaction, Rhythm and Sound, Scion, MMM, Soundhack usw. &#8211; ihr wisst Bescheid.</p>
<p>Aus Platzgründen zog der Laden später um in ein altes Backstein-Hinterhofgebäude am <strong>Paul-Lincke-Ufer</strong>. Vom Landwehrkanal durch das Tor, über den kopfsteingepflasterten Hof, vorbei an einer Druckerei, in ein leicht abgeratzeltes Treppenhaus, wild dekoriert mit Aufklebern und Tags, muss man ins 3. OG hoch, um dann hinter einer Stahltür in das Plattenparadies zu gelangen.</p>
<p>Nicht gerade geeignet um Laufkundschaft anzulocken, sondern für die die genau wissen wen oder was sie dort suchen. Aber wahrscheinlich ist genau das die Idee.</p>
<p>Nie vergessen werde ich den zufällig mitgehörten Dialog: <strong>&#8220;Habt ihr Techno?&#8221; &#8211; &#8220;Nein.&#8221; </strong></p>
<p>Tja, Pech gehabt. Falsche Frage am falschen Ort. Wer aber die richtigen und freundliche Fragen stellt, bekommt eifrig die neuesten Platten der gewünschten Stilrichtung/ Künstler/ Labels rausgesucht, mit freundlichsten Empfehlungen und Tipps, was einem denn außerdem vielleicht noch gefallen könnte.</p>
<p>Natürlich wird das 20jährige Jubiläum groß gefeiert. Am <strong>Samstag 05.12.2009 im <a title="wmf Club Berlin" href="http://www.wmf-club.com/" target="_blank">wmf</a></strong> Berlin. Mit einen Line-up, das man nicht treffender hätte aussuchen können. Hard Wax-Mitarbeiter sowie befreundete Musiker und DJs spielen dort was das Zeug hält: <strong>Mark Ernestus, Tikiman, Vainqueur, Substance, Electric Indigo, Anthony &#8216;Shake&#8217; Shakir, MMM, Soundhack, Torsten &#38; Sascha </strong>usw.</p>
<p>Da gibt es echt an diesem Tag keine Ausrede! Mehr Infos zum Jubiläum und zum genauen Line-up gibt es <a title="20 Jahre Hard Wax" href="http://hardwax.com/XX/" target="_blank">hier</a>, und <a title="Tickets bestellen 20 Jahre Hard Wax" href="http://hardwax.com/20020" target="_blank">Karten bestellen</a> kann man auch schon.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2962" title="techno fan" src="http://weedbrothers.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/techno-fan.jpg" alt="techno fan" width="489" height="250" /></p>
<p>Desde Detroit, se extendió al este y al oeste de Estados Unidos como un virus, utilizando microchips, circuitos y cables. Es mutante, y dividido entre cada una de sus propias características &#8211; ghetto duro, profundo, y dubero, minimalista, melódico y ambiental, cargado de percusiones, y sonidos ácidos &#8211; todos diferentes, pero todos con la marca indeleble del Detroit techno siempre estampado en sus genes.</p>
<p>Lo que comenzó como un proyecto después de la escuela para <a href="http://www.myspace.com/derrickmay" target="_blank">Derrick May</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/68657561" target="_blank">Juan Atkins</a> y <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kevinsaunderson" target="_blank">Kevin Saunderson</a> a mediados de la década de 1980, se convirtió en uno de los géneros más apasionantes de la música moderna que conoce el hombre. Un cuarto de siglo más tarde, el techno es tan emocionante como lo fue siempre.</p>
<p>La tecnología, la electrónica, y los sueños de muchos han contribuido a su evolución, pero ¿cómo hemos llegado hasta aquí? Un intento de construir una línea de tiempo para cualquier género musical sería una tarea colosal, por eso hablaremos estrictamente de techno y no profundizaremos en la cantidad de variaciones que tiene este genero.</p>
<p>Por eso, les ofrecemos 20 pistas de antepasados techno que se sienten parte integral del desarrollo del género. Esta lista podría correr y correr, y hay probablemente miles de temas dignos de ser incluidos, pero esperamos que los aficionados al techno esten acuerdo en la importancia de estos artistas y de sus registros.</p>
<p><!--more-->Éstos son 20 temas que cada aficionado debe saber acerca de techno (por todos los medios, siéntase libre de añadir sus propias sugerencias a esta lista en la sección de comentarios abajo).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Dieses Video muss sein: Ein Liveauftritt von Rhythm &#38; Sound. Natürlich könnte die Qualität besser sein, aber es geht ja schließlich (zumindest für mich) um das Gefühl, welches diese Musik in sich trägt. &#8220;Zeitlos&#8221; trifft es am Besten, denn wenige Musiker schaffen es einen so massiven bleibenden Eindruck über einen solch langen Zeitraum zu hinterlassen, wie sie es getan haben. Einfach genießen:</p>

<description><![CDATA[For someone that loves music and listens to all kinds of it, I am decidedly unadventurous about it. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>For someone that loves music and listens to all kinds of it, I am decidedly unadventurous about it. I don&#8217;t really buy music &#8211; that is, I pretty much only buy vinyl, and when I do it&#8217;s usually somewhat DJ oriented, and in any case I only really by stuff I come across in a shop or online.</p>
<p>So here I&#8217;m compiling a short list of music I&#8217;m interested in checking out (or maybe listening to a little bit more). I&#8217;m going to let it build for a little while; I think the results might be surprising.</p>
<p>I guess I&#8217;ve been listening to so much electronic stuff for a while that I need to diversify a bit. I&#8217;m going to try to represent some of the breadth of the musical styles that interest me in this list, and then hopefully I&#8217;ll develop some ideas of stuff to track down.</p>
<p>Although basically I think there are more or less two categories: newer releases or stuff I&#8217;ve missed in genres I&#8217;m pretty familiar with, and more obscure / indie / avant-garde stuff I&#8217;ve never really come across. Or actually that isn&#8217;t right at all. It&#8217;s that there&#8217;s some stuff I&#8217;m familiar with, but would like to become more so &#8211; like Sonic Youth or Fugazi (I know, weird examples) &#8211; and then other stuff that I haven&#8217;t really heard but know I would like to &#8211; like Kayo Dot, or Merzbow, or more J Dilla stuff since I&#8217;m always a couple years behind everyone else (these really are some strange examples).</p>
<p>Perhaps strangely, topping of the list (and the only artist that really comes to mind at the moment) is Angels of Light &#8211; which for those who don&#8217;t know is more or less the solo project of Michael Gira (Swans).</p>
<p>OK, this list isn&#8217;t going to make sense to anyone else anyway. So, yeah:</p>
<p>Angels of Light (I love the Swans. Gira is a genius. Gotta pick up at least one album)</p>
<p>Fugazi (I know &#8211; I&#8217;m way behind. I&#8217;ve only really listened to Repeater all the way through)</p>
<p>New Order (not as familiar as I should be. I have one of their much, much later albums)</p>
<p>Merzbow (I&#8217;ve only heard about one song they did with Discordance Axis. I&#8217;d be interested in hearing some of their stuff)</p>
<p>Swans (I already know and love &#8216;em. But I need to summon up courage and listen to their back-catalog &#8211; like pre &#8216;89. As well as just listen more to the rest of their stuff)</p>
<p>Sonic Youth (I really am not familiar with their stuff much)</p>
<p>Bikini Kill (never heard their stuff. I probably should)</p>
<p>The Replacements (never listened to them, feel like I should at least check them out)</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">(the direction this list is taking is really unexpected, but then I guess it&#8217;s a success)</p>
<p>Husker Du (I&#8217;ve listened to some of Bob Mould&#8217;s solo stuff, maybe I should add these guys in at this point &#8211; it seems apropos)</p>
<p>Desert Sessions (I wish I could put Kyuss on the list but I&#8217;ve listened to everything they&#8217;ve put out, really &#8211; except Desert Sessions)</p>
<p>Kayo Dot (I have all three Maudlin of the Well albums and love them, seen Kayo Dot play, loved them&#8230; now I just have to pick up their albums)</p>
<p>Discordance Axis (specifically The Inalienable Dreamless. I&#8217;ve listened to a lot of their other stuff. This is one of the only grindcore bands I listen to)</p>
<p>hm. I just actually contemplated adding Napalm Death to the list. I think I&#8217;m getting way off track here. Going to post this now. Look forward to future edits &#8211; and oh. Suggestions please (especially if you can recommend some good industrial. Skinny Puppy and Nine Inch Nails are about the extent of my familiarity).</p>
<p>P.S. I can&#8217;t believe how much rock music is on this list. To my readers that don&#8217;t know me (and maybe even those that do) this list could be really misleading about my current listening habits. I basically listen to rock music once every two weeks (that should explain why there&#8217;s hardly anything contemporary about my list). But for my appalling ignorance there would be way more house music represented here. I need some help here. Or maybe just need to get out more.</p>
<p>I do want to get the new Martyn album (Great Lengths), and anything that D-Bridge releases (either by himself or on his <a title="Exit Records on Myspace" href="http://www.myspace.com/exitrecords" target="_blank">label</a> &#8211; there, click on the link and listen to the songs in the beatport player. that&#8217;s more the kind of stuff I&#8217;ve been listening to. oh, and even more so stuff like <a title="YouTube - Rhythm &#38; Sound - Carrier" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtgT9ReftLQ&#38;feature=related" target="_blank">this</a>, <a title="YouTube - Pelon - No Stunts" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP9Am3Gcecc&#38;feature=related" target="_blank">this</a>, or <a title="YouTube - Maurizio - M4" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejSre0aos60&#38;feature=related" target="_blank">this.</a> you really should click on one or two of those.) And yeah it goes without saying: when it comes to Chain Reaction, Basic Channel, Rhythm &#38; Sound &#8211; more. . . I just can&#8217;t get enough of it. (Discovering these labels&#8230;maybe it&#8217;s something like&#8230;I don&#8217;t know, the appropriate religious metaphor fails me.)</p>
<p>OK, it&#8217;s late. Enough. I&#8217;m off to sleep. Love to you all.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2263" title="mvo" src="http://camarilhadosquatro.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/mvo.jpg?w=298" alt="mvo" width="298" height="300" /></p>
<p>Moritz von Oswald é um produtor alemão de música eletrônica, mais famoso por ser metade da dupla responsável pelo selo Basic Channel, pioneira do dub techno e do minimal techno. Assinando sob diversos pseudônimos (Radiant, Cyrus, Quadrant, Phylyps, Radiance, Maurizio), a dupla lançava seus singles unicamente em vinil, criando um culto e inaugurando uma linhagem que persiste até os dias de hoje. Na segunda metade dos anos 90, a dupla formou o projeto Rhythm &#38; Sound, para explorar o dub por viés do reggae. O trio de Moritz von Oswald se completa com Sasu Ripatti, mais conhecido por seus projetos Vladislav Delay, Luomo e Uusitalo (entre outros), e Max Loderbauer, que foi du Sun Electric e hoje atua como 50% da dupla nsi. <em>Vertical Ascent</em> nasceu de uma série de sessões de improvisação que o trio realizou, das quais algumas partes foram selecionadas, editadas e reequalizadas por Oswald. (RG)</p>
<p>* # *</p>
<p>Quando o Basic Channel surgiu, sabia-se pouco sobre os produtores que estavam por trás daquela música: os discos eram lançados em vinil, apenas com os nomes das faixas e do selo, sem qualquer discriminação na capa sobre quem tocava e compunha aqueles épicos eletrônicos, à exceção de frases apologéticas ao vinil, como “Buy vinyl”. Na verdade, Basic Channel nunca foi a alcunha do projeto, mas o nome do selo que, mais tarde descobriu-se, fora fundado pelos produtores alemães Moritiz von Oswald e Mark Ernestus. O resto da história já conhecemos: os tais vinis de informações escassas abalaram o mundo da música eletrônica, com suas produções ousadas, cheias de efeitos, ecos e timbres inauditos ou, pelo menos, nunca sobrepostos e utilizados daquela forma. Daí pra frente, música eletrônica experimental deixou de ter como sinônimo apenas a Warp, mas um turbilhão de gravadoras e artistas, que com as inovações do BC, incorporaram de vez o elemento dub em suas criações.</p>
<p>A não revelação da identidade não se bastava somente como efeito midiático e estratégia de marketing (apesar de não deixar de sê-los em certa instância), até porque a música do BC não almejava o sucesso comercial – tampouco ser hit nas pistas de dança. O importante, para Oswald e Ernestus, era única e exclusivamente a música. Eles queriam que as pessoas prestassem atenção na música – que, aliás, pede certa diligência do ouvinte para ser totalmente compreendida – e não em quem as faz. Os segundos estariam em função do primeiro, assim como o interlocutor, que estando conectado somente à música, não teria qualquer ligação com seus criadores.</p>
<p>Hoje vemos a influência do BC cada vez mais ubíqua na música eletrônica – seja no techno, house, garage, dubstep, wonky, funky, etc – e, não obstante, trespassando a esfera musical: há selos ingleses como Thriller (de Luke Blair, o Lukid) e Hate que se aproveitam do mesmo estratagema dos alemães para lançarem suas músicas (vinis de doze polegadas contendo apenas o nome do selo e das respectivas faixas) e produtores como Burial, que colocou no mercado dois LP’s antes de revelar sua identidade.</p>
<p>Recentemente, Moritz von Oswald concedeu sua primeira entrevista a uma <a href="http://www.thewire.co.uk/" target="_blank">revista inglesa</a> e deixou de ser aquela figura completamente reclusa, sobre cuja vida não sabemos absolutamente nada. Mesmo assim, seu propósito continua o mesmo: a música, nos deixarmos levar por ela. E é desse intuito primeiro e maior que nasce <em>Vertical Ascent</em>.</p>
<p>Gravado em sessões ao vivo, ao lado de Vladislav Delay (percussão) e Max Loderbauer (sintetizador), o disco de Oswald – que mesmo debilitado por conta de um derrame que sofreu no ano passado, ainda foi capaz de operar mais da metade dos instrumentos e aparelhos utilizados (teclado, piano elétrico, bateria eletrônica, percussão e sintetizador) – demonstra um sincretismo cada vez mais sintomático à música contemporânea, a partir do qual não conseguimos identificar um estilo predominante no produto sonoro e sequer arrolá-lo a um determinado gênero. Nem “música eletrônica” podemos mais falar, já que neste disco foram utilizados piano Rhodes e percussões metálicas. Sua própria feitura, baseada na improvisação grupal ao vivo, se enquadra mais às tradições jazzísticas e da música improv que à própria eletrônica. Mas é essa contração despojada que dá brilho e importância a <em>Vertical Ascent</em>, pois não importa se os sons são produzidos à base de eletricidade ou não: o trio busca uma organicidade de som, uma música que flua e se desenvolva conforme suas necessidades e características de timbre. “Pattern 1”, por exemplo, começa com efeitos à la BC, para depois de um minuto e meio, entrar um batida mais grave e abafada (pode-se falar até em 2/4 aqui), que ditará o ritmo de todos os outros componentes por quase todo o período de duração da faixa. Já em “Pattern 2”, o que se sobressalta é um som próximo ao de um berimbau, que junto a outros efeitos eletrônicos e à programação de bateria, cria uma atmosfera algo misteriosa, mas perfeitamente penetrável por causa da sintonia e relação complementar dos sons envolvidos.</p>
<p>“Pattern 4”, com sua batida extremamente desacelerada para alguém que já foi membro do BC, é a mais ruidosa e talvez o grande destaque do disco. Ela nos envolve com seu clima um tanto místico e sombrio (com o grave da bateria ditando o ritmo novamente) por sete minutos e meio, até que os ruídos começam a se intensificar e a música termina bruscamente. Se em suas quatro faixas, o trio de Oswald não faz jus ao título – inclusive contrariando-o com sua constância horizontal de volume e tempo –, em “Pattern 4” a conclusão inesperada indica, finalmente, uma ascendência vertical, ou se preferir, como expõe a capa, o lançamento de um foguete. (Thiago Filardi)</p>
<p>* # *</p>
<p>O final da década passada viu o jazz progressivamente se afeiçoando da eletrônica, incorporando-a a seus procedimentos e criando pontes inusitadas. Entre diversas ocorrências dignas de menção, vale especialmente lembrar do FennO&#8217;Berg, trio superstar composto por Fennesz, Jim O&#8217;Rourke e Peter Rehberg (Pita), pioneiro da improvisação exclusivamente feita em/processada por laptop, e a Blue Series, série de colaborações capitaneada por Matthew Shipp que desde meados dos anos 90 chama músicos de hip-hop e eletrônica para colaborar de formas distintas com músicos tradicionalmente ligados ao jazz. Entre DJ Spooky, Antipop Consortium, El-P, entre outros, o caso mais feliz é o do Spring Heel Jack, que modificou sua carreira depois da experiência e nos deu alguns dos mais belos discos desses últimos dez anos.</p>
<p>Mas até agora não tinha surgido aquele disco – ou pelo menos eu não conheço um antecedente – que é basicamente um disco de jazz tocado exclusivamente com vocabulário sonoro (timbres, formas de instrumentação etc.) da música eletrônica com caráter mais voltado para a pista (err, techno). Agora surgiu: é <em>Vertical Ascent</em>. O disco é mais que um encontro megaestelar entre Moritz Von Oswald (o homem que representa metade dos selos/projetos Basic Channel e do Rhythm &#38; Sound, além de ser o homem por trás do projeto Maurizio), Sasu Ripatti (mais conhecido como Vladislav Delay, mas também Luomo, Uusitalo etc.) e Max Loderbauer (nsi.), o que por si só já seria um acontecimento notável. O disco é uma fantástica investigação a respeito das possibilidades de improvisação do techno. E isso sem demérito de um imediato prazer auditivo: as quatro faixas de <em>Vertical Ascent </em>são tão sensuais e vibrantes em sua matéria quanto o conceito é preciso em sua forma.</p>
<p>Inicialmente, o disco pode espantar aqueles que seguem mais detidamente o trabalho de Von Oswald. Nesse disco, duas de suas características mais marcantes não estão muito presentes. Uma, a repetição, é abolida; outra, a fidelidade aos graves do dub, é sensivelmente minimizada. No primeiro caso, as intervenções improvisadas do trio formulam um contínuo desenvolvimento (ainda que não exatamente uma progressão) dos temas centrais, aqui designados &#8220;padrões&#8221; (Pattern 1 a 4); e o formulam de uma forma imperiosa, em que a sutileza das nuances rítmicas e dos timbres atingidos só equivale à leveza geral com que cada faixa flui ao longo de sua duração. Quanto às linhas de grave, elas estão lá, só que mais discretas, ainda fazendo a diferença em faixas como a segunda e a última. Mas o que <em>Vertical Ascent </em>mais toma do dub é a forma de construir um espaço através do qual as outras intervenções poderão seguir livre curso. Nesse sentido, é até possível fazer uma aproximação com algumas faixas do Orb de longa duração, como o remix de 60min de &#8220;Blue Room&#8221; ou o marco &#8220;A Huge Evergrowing Pulsating Brain that Rules from the Centre of the Ultraworld&#8221;, resguardando as diferenças de approach, no caso do Orb bem mais psicodélico e absurdista, e, no caso desse trio, coeso e minucioso. O que, no entanto, une indelevelmente as preocupações de Moritz Von Oswald com todo seu trabalho pregresso é a natureza fugidia das sonoridades aqui presentes: elas brotam, existem durante o tempo em que são executadas e depois parecem se dissolver numa bruma espessa da consciência, sem deixar o ouvinte com sequer uma nesga de melodia a murmurar (ainda que o cowbell, o berimbau, as marcações 4/4 a gente decididamente lembre&#8230;). Ao fim, uma única impressão, acachapante: trata-se de um disco único, que reitera – como se precisasse – a importância de Moritz Von Oswald para o mundo da música, e que abre um enorme terreno a ser explorado. Ou seja, nada menos que um marco. (Ruy Gardnier)</p>
<p>* # *</p>
<p>A ansiedade é inimiga da análise, do cuidado e da atenção. Somente na vigésima audição se comeca a entender e a gostar de verdade de <em>Vertical Ascent</em>. De primeira, isto é, tomado por uma exultante empolgação, esperei o paroxismo de uma vida, mas o paroxismo não é a senha para <em>Vertical Ascent</em>, muito embora Moritz von Oswald seja o arquiteto de um dos mais influentes e geniais panoramas sonoros das últimas décadas. Com seu parceiro Mark Ernestus fundou o selo Basic Channel, de onde saiu uma verdadeira revolução no mundo techno. Através de singles assinados sob diversos pseudônimos, o Basic Channel ditou algumas tendências que vigoraram desde então, algumas mais ligadas ao minimal e ao acid techno, outras aparentadas do dub jamaicano e do ambient, mas todas extremamente inovadoras no que diz respeito a incorporação de sons e procedimentos oriundos de pesquisas eletrônicas e eletroacústicas. Quase que simultaneamente, eles tocavam também o projeto techno Maurizio e, mais tarde, capitanearam outro trabalho tão inovador quanto o BC, o Rhythm &#38; Sound. Contando com a participação de toasters e djs jamaicanos, como Paul St. Hilaire e Sugar Minott, criaram uma sonoridade atmosférica, antecipando algumas inclinações que pouco mais tarde seriam exploradas pelo dubstep. Depois, a vida e a obra de Oswald tomaram um rumo estranho. Primeiro, uma parceria inócua com Carl Craig que lhe rendeu opiniões as mais controversas; depois, um derrame em outubro de 2008, que o obriga a operar e mixar apenas com uma mão. <em>Vertical Ascent</em>, portanto, justifica uma certa ansiedade, uma curiosidade irresistível. Tenho certeza que os mais interessados em música nova e criativa já se perguntavam o que viria pela frente. Anunciado, o álbum demorou para vir à tona, e durante alguns meses vivi o suspense de ouví-lo. O que nos aguarda, como será a viagem, a onda? Representará mais uma revolução? O que a mente de Moritz von Oswald nos proporcionará desta vez?</p>
<p>E a resposta veio sob a forma de um trio de música improvisada, com o produtor e baterista Sasu Ripatti (AKA Vladislav Delay, que a propósito acaba de lançar o excelente <em>Tummaa</em>) e um velho parceiro, Mark Loderbauer (nsi. e Chica and the Folder). Segundo Oswald, os planos do Trio se concentram na gravação de álbuns ao vivo, sendo <em>Vertical Ascent</em> seu primeiro volume. Coube ao band leader a execução dos teclados, efeitos e a manipulação da mesa de som, enquanto Ripatti executa instrumentos de percussão e Loderbauer, sintetizadores e laptop. E mais uma vez, ainda que mais discretamente, o som é algo difícil de descrever, de analisar, a não ser através de referências mais ou menos conhecidas, na medida em que não se explica pela abrasividade techno do Basic Channell, nem pela letargia do Rhythm &#38; Sound. Tal como o Fellini de Amarcord, Oswald parece sondar os primórdios, a música que o fez aderir de forma contundente a sua profissão de fé, o experimentalismo. O jazz está presente através do improviso; sob um ponto de vista formal, <em>Vertical Ascent</em> é um disco de jazz, onde cada um dos participantes é chamado a intervir nos quatro &#8220;patterns&#8221; (ironia?) que o compõem. Um outro aspecto tão importante como fascinante é a construção rítmica dos &#8220;patterns&#8221;, que cobre um amplo espectro de possibilidades, desde um techno &#8220;arabizado&#8221; até o dub arrastado; mais uma vez a palavra &#8220;pattern&#8221; soa como uma ironia, devido a quantidade vertiginosa de alterações que estruturam as faixas. Nota-se também que Ripatti explora brilhantemente uma série de timbres percussivos, utilizando aço, madeira, percussões digitais e até mesmo um berimbau. E, <em>last but not least</em>, a utilização do estúdio enquanto instrumento musical, princípio fundamental do dub, pelo qual o jovem Oswald se apaixonou em meados da década de 80 e através do qual vem perfazendo seu caminho musical. Talvez em nenhum outro álbum ou faixa produzida por ele este aspecto se apresentou com tanto vigor, através de inserções ao vivo e intervenções posteriores sobre todos os &#8220;patterns&#8221;.</p>
<p><em>Vertical Ascent</em> é um disco fabuloso, para ser degustado aos poucos, com calma e parcimônia. E mesmo assim se torna um desafio para aqueles que desejam expor seu conteúdo em palavras. Podemos até afirmar que o improviso (o jazz), a exploração de timbres (a música eletrônica) e a manipulação posterior em estúdio (o dub) constituem as linhas mestras de sua singularidade. É pouco. Poderíamos dizer que é uma música &#8220;mundial&#8221;, que incorpora influências norte-americanas, inglesas, jamaicanas, árabes, etc. Ainda é muito pouco. De resto, assumo a incapacidade de atribuir rótulos à minúcia de suas sínteses, texturas e modulações. E advirto, não perca tempo: Mortitz von Oswald voltou, e voltou por cima, com um dos melhores álbuns do ano. Capaz até mesmo de desafiar o já-ganhou e a majestade de <em>Merriweather Post Pavilion</em>. (Bernardo Oliveira)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-899" title="Pendle Coven - Self Assessment" src="http://markeneu.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/pendle-coven.jpg" alt="Pendle Coven - Self Assessment" width="398" height="398" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pendle Coven son una pareja de británicos que caen bien nada más verlos. Parece mentira que dos tipos que parecen salidos de la película “El Gran Lebowsky” estén en nómina de un sello tan cool como Modern Love. Pero así es la electrónica, o así ha sido siempre: nada es lo que parece y la imagen no cuenta –o no contaba– para hacer tal o cual música o para fichar por tal o cual sello. Por entonces, comentaban que ellos eran más de anti-Sónar y que se habían inventado una etiqueta, regressive house, para calificar su música y, de paso, demostrar al mundo su odio al progressive house que por entonces estaba en pleno auge en UK con todos esos valedores de John Digweed y Sasha, como James Holden, haciendo estragos en los charts de todo el mundo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En todo ese tiempo, los muy perros siguieron con un volumen de publicaciones raquítico que ahora equilibran un poco con la salida al mercado de su primer álbum, <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/207849366/Pendle_Coven_-_Self-Assessment__Love053_.rar">“Self Assessment”</a>. Está claro que van a lo suyo y que las exigencias del mercado se las pasan por Old Trafford. Con este álbum que les ha costado Dios y ayuda completar, los de Manchester no demuestran nada que no hubiéramos escuchado en sus maxis previos. En realidad, ellos lo que están es influenciados por el sonido de principios de los noventa, cuando en el norte de Inglaterra se hacía la mejor IDM del mundo sin necesidad de manga pastelera. A todas esta materia prima le añaden después unas capas de dub a lo Basic Channel, a los que adoran y piden, de paso, una referencia en el sello del mismo nombre que estos alemanes dirigieron hasta hace quince años atrás –no veas la guasa que le echan los dos–, con una fina y sutil película de artcore –la vertiente algo más arty del hardcore–, rebozado a veces con un traqueteo electro siempre acuático y a veces algo siniestro, seguramente en homenaje a Drexciya. Y todo con un armazón de talante minimalista que les ha ido muy bien para entrar en las maletas de DJs de techno serio y en otras de techno no tan ídem.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nada nuevo bajo el sol, eso es cierto. Pero una cosa es tener la materia prima y otro cocinarlo con la pericia de un maestro artesano. Ellos de maestros tienen poco y de artesanos no sé yo, pero le echan pasión y sobre todo honestidad a la vida, con lo que ya tienen ganadas unas hectáreas en el cielo. Por lo menos no se han pasado descaradamente al dubstep estandarizado como algunos de los productores ingleses que, con el tiempo, han perdido la brújula de su creatividad para acabar apostando por la tendencia ganadora. Para enterarse algo mejor de qué van estos Pendle Coven recomiendo el podcast que los mancunianos realizaron en marzo para la serie de mixes de la web <a href="http://www.factmagazine.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&#38;task=view&#38;id=2126&#38;Itemid=98">FACT Magazine</a>, en el que incluían una remezcla en clave dub de Theo Parrish para Larry Heard, además de material de gente afín al sonido Pendle Coven como Minimal Man, G-Man y Claro Intelecto.</p>

<description><![CDATA[  Någon gång i början av nittiotalet sitter Moritz von Oswald och Mark Ernestus och lyssnar på regga]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-253" title="m120b-cover" src="http://fredrikedin.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/m120b-cover.jpg" alt="m120b-cover" width="500" height="500" /></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">Någon gång i början av nittiotalet sitter Moritz von Oswald och Mark Ernestus och lyssnar på reggae i fikarummet på skivaffären Hardwax i Berlin. De blir så medtagna att de bestämmer sig för att sluta göra billiga Jeff Mills plagiat och i stället sno de bästa elementen från musiken som strömmar ur högtalarna. </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">De börjar hitta formen på sista Basic Channel 12:an <a href="http://www.discogs.com/Basic-Channel-Phylyps-Trak-II/release/2167">Phylyps Trak II</a> och fulländar den med <a href="http:// www.discogs.com/Maurizio-M-5/release/713">Maurizios M5</a>, en skiva som alla som sysslar med någonting liknande måste förhålla sig till. En skiva som fått mig att åka till Berlin så många gånger att jag tappat räkningen för länge sen. </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">Ungefär samtidigt gör <a href="http://www.discogs.com/Robert-Hood-The-Pace-Wandering-Endlessly/release/21371">Robert</a> <a href="http://www.discogs.com/Vision-Spectral-Nomad/release/13410">Hood</a> något liknande i Detroit, Wolfgang &#8220;Mike Ink&#8221; Voigts karriär når sin höjdpunkt med <a href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Studio+1">Studio 1 serien</a> och Mark och Moritz hittar poeten <a href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Tikiman">Tikiman</a>  och inleder ett samarbete som skulle visa sig både långvarigt och <a href="http://www.discogs.com/Intrusion-The-Seduction-Of-Silence/release/1609914">sällsynt</a> <a href="http://www.discogs.com/Deadbeat-Roots-And-Wire/release/1498207">stilbildande</a>.</p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">Resten är historia som det brukar heta. Oavsett om du kallar det dubtechno, tysk reggae, deep house eller afro-germansk folkmusik fortsätter det att produceras fantastisk musik i samma stil runt om i världen. Inte nog med det. Det finns ett annat sympatiskt element. Kulturen kring musiken har alltid varit extremt inkluderande och tillåtande. Du kan tycka, se ut, vara och bete dig i stort sett precis hur du vill. Alla får vara med. Det finns ingen dresscode. Inga vipköer. Inga hemliga ritualer. Inga godtyckliga hierarkier. </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">Klubbarna där musiken spelas byggs helt och hållet kring musiken. De ligger gärna i övergivna industrifastigheter som det finns hur många som helst av i exempelvis östra delarna av Berlin. De har de bästa ljudsystem som går att få för pengar och en pliktskyldig bar i ena hörnan. Alla som får plats är välkomna att tränga ihop sig. Det är under de här förutsättningarna musiken ska avnjutas. Som direktdemokratisk baskultur. </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">Det funkar inte att ta den ur sitt sammanhang. Det går inte att köpa själ. Här följer ett talande exempel. När jag spelade skivor på anrika Kafé 44 i Stockholm för några år sedan kom en crustpunkare fram och bad mig stänga av &#8220;den kommersiella skitmusiken&#8221;. Det hjälpte inte att jag berättade att skivan bara var pressad i 500 exemplar och helt saknade avsändare. Hon tyckte det lät kommersiellt helt enkelt. Som något som spelas på en reklambyrå strax innan deadline. Jag skrattade åt henne och hävdade bestämt att musiken och kulturen var rena rama socialistiska baktaktsutopin.  </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">Men kanske var hon synsk. Kort efteråt uppstod nämligen en sorts gisslansituation. Minimalistisk techno blev plötsligt trendigt och massor av stockholmsetablissemang flög in DJ:s från Berlin och Detroit.</p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">Den goda nyheten var att det gick att uppleva riktigt bra spelningar på hemmaplan. Eller förlåt, de kunde varit bra. Om inte ljudet varit så dåligt, volymen så låg, klubbarna så människofientliga och en majoritet av publiken helt ointresserad av musiken. </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">Den dåliga nyheten var att du fick allt som är sjukt med Stockholm på köpet. Ölsponsrade företagsevent i hotellobbies. Meningslösa kändisar som glider förbi onödiga köer. Stureplan. Hemliga gästlistor. Dr Alban. Slutna medlemskap. Skitnödiga typer som tror att de befinner sig i världens mittpunkt men är för nervösa för att titta efter. </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">I de mest extrema fallen var du tvungen att känna någon av dem för att överhuvudtaget få komma in. Om du av någon mystisk anledning ändå blev insläppt var det bara för att finna musiken du älskar stulen. Avsexualiserad. Liberal. Reifierad. Förvandlad till muzak på firmafesten hos ett fake-indie-klädmärke i ett nyrenoverat penthouse på Södermalm. </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">Missförstå mig inte. Vem som helst som verkligen älskar musiken är välkommen. Men som tur är byter hipsters musiksmak lika ofta som de byter skäggfrisyrer, så hej då och tack för all Red Stripe för den här gången. Ni kommer ändå aldrig att förstå. Jag firar att allt åter är som vanligt, att musiken åter tillhör folket, med att tipsa om vårens tre bästa album. </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><strong><a href="http://www.discogs.com/Luke-Hess-Light-In-The-Dark/release/1731130">Luke Hess &#8211; Light In The Dark</a></strong> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">Luke Hess är tillsammans med <a href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Deadbeat">Scott &#8220;Deadbeat&#8221; Monteith</a> Basic Channels trognaste lärjunge. Light in the dark är en ättling i rakt nedstigande led till Phylyps Trak. Lyssna särskilt på &#8220;Transform&#8221; och &#8220;Self Control&#8221;. Inga större överraskningar. Definitivt inga besvikelser heller. </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><strong><a href="http://www.discogs.com/Martyn-Great-Lengths/release/1725267">Martyn &#8211; Great Lengths</a></strong> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">Martyn har jag tidigare beskrivit som den perfekta kompromissen mellan södra London och Östra Berlin. Musiken befinner sig i gränslandet mellan dubstep och techno och är klassen bättre än hypade bolagskollegan 2562 som för övrigt kommer till Roskilde i sommar. Lyssna lite extra på &#8220;Vancouver&#8221; och &#8220;Right Star&#8221;. </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><strong><a href="http://www.discogs.com/DJ-Sprinkles-Midtown-120-Blues/release/1635238">DJ Sprinkles &#8211; Midtown 120 Blues</a></strong></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;">Aktivisten och konstnären Terre Thaemlitz har under sitt alter ego DJ Sprinkles släppt något så uppfriskande omodernt som ett konceptalbum. det ska givetvis spelas från början till slut. jag måste ändå lyfta fram det tonsatta manifest som inleder skivan. Det handlar om deep house scenen i New York. Men det kunde lika gärna handlat om vilken annan musikstil på vilken annan plats som helst. Det innehåller allt jag har att säga om kultur och förtjänar att återges i sin helhet:</p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"> </p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>House isn&#8217;t so much a sound as a situation.</em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>There must be a hundred records with voice-overs asking, &#8220;What is house?&#8221; </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>The answer is always some greeting card bullshit about &#8220;life, love, happiness&#8230;.&#8221; </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>The House Nation likes to pretend clubs are an oasis from suffering </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>But suffering is in here with us. </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>If you can get in, that is. </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>I think of one time in New York when they wouldn&#8217;t let me into the Loft, </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>and I could hear they were actually playing one of my records on the dance floor at that very moment. </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>I shit you not.</em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"><em></em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>Let&#8217;s keep sight of the things you&#8217;re trying to momentarily escape from. </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>After all, it&#8217;s that larger context that created the house movement and brought you here. </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>House is not universal. </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>House is hyper-specific: East Jersey, Loisaida, West Village, Brooklyn &#8211; places that conjure specific beats and sounds. As for the sounds of New York dance floors themselves, </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>today&#8217;s house classics might have gotten worked into a set once in a while, </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>but the majority of music at every club was major label vocal shit. </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"><em></em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>I don&#8217;t care what anybody tells you. </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>Besides, New York Deep House may have started out as minimal, mid-tempo instrumentals, </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>but when distributors began demanding easy selling vocal tracks, </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>even the label &#8220;Strictly Rhythm&#8221; betrayed the promise of it&#8217;s own name by churning out strictly vocal after strictly vocal. </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>Most Europeans still think &#8220;Deep House&#8221; means shitty, high energy vocal house.</em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"><em></em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>So what was the New York house sound? House wasn&#8217;t so much a sound as a situation. </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>The majority of DJ&#8217;s &#8211; DJ&#8217;s like myself &#8211; were nobody&#8217;s in nowhere clubs: </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>unheard and unpaid. </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>In the words of Sylvester: </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>reality was less &#8220;everybody is a star,&#8221; and more &#8220;I who have nothing.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;min-height:17px;margin:0;"><em></em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>Twenty years later, major distribution gives us Classic House, </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>the same way soundtracks in Vietnam war films gave us Classic Rock. </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>The contexts from which the Deep House sound emerged are forgotten: </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>Sexual and gender crises </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>Transgendered sex work </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>Black market hormones </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>Drug and alcohol addiction, </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>Loneliness </em></p>
<p style="font:14px Courier;margin:0;"><em>Racism, </em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bQ8uKOqbPQk/SXhdCzyy_RI/AAAAAAAAAx4/nxRKl__bloA/s400/intrusion-seduction-of-sile.jpg" alt="" width="312" height="312" /><br />
Surgi de Detroit, cet album d&#8217;Intrusion intitulé The Seduction of Silence, est à ranger dans la famille de Deepchord / Echospace : des descendants de Basic Channel dont on ne sait pas vraiment s&#8217;ils sont adoubés par ceux dont ils reprennent l&#8217;héritage ou simplement ignorés. Le lien entre les deux traditions est explicité ici par la présence de Paul St-Hilaire, premier chanteur de Rhythm &#38; Sound / Basic Channel qui chante un assez merveilleux Little Angel dont on a déjà parlé sur ce blog pour ses jolies qualités désarmantes. The Seduction of Silence travaille donc cette même veine, entre une techno brumeuse, éprise des effets de l&#8217;héroine (plus que de la drogue elle-même) et une réinvention spatiale du dub soudain noyé dans des réverbérations plus robotiques qu&#8217;à l&#8217;accoutumée. Dans le territoire sonique dressé par ce beau disque, il y a un écho planant de Kingston infectant le système des disques classiques de techno de Detroit : le mélange donne naissance à une étrange suite de mélopées nocturnes instrumentales qui pourraient s&#8217;écouter distraitement, comme un album d&#8217;ambient dub de plus. Pour autant, quelque chose d&#8217;autre est à l&#8217;oeuvre ici, dans les détails, dans quelques textures, quelques accidents, quelques choix aux frontières entre le banal et l&#8217;expérimental, l&#8217;anodin et le têtu. Tout cela, ténu et sur le fil, donne un disque au charme pénétrant, disséquant une musique d&#8217;hypnose et de danse lente, de saisissement gelé et de charme  englobant,  pernicieusement chaleureux.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.tcbmedia.eu/images/review/20090227-Intrusion_w_Paul_St_Hilaire_Little_Angel_EP-1235691179.jpg" alt="" width="390" height="390" /></p>

<p style="text-align:left;">Les disques d&#8217;Intrusion sortent sporadiquement, presque cachés, sur le label Echospace spécialiste des sorties difficilement trouvables. Qui est Intrusion ? Peut-être personne, peut-être quelqu&#8217;un qui vit avec le temps arrêté il y a 10 ans, mis en pause sur les vinyles de Rhythm &#38; Sound. Little Angel (un maxi et un morceau sur un album, sortis au même moment en février) est un souvenir de tout cela, porté par la première voix de Rhythm &#38; Sound, Paul St-Hilaire (Tikiman, à l&#8217;époque). Mais avec les années, cette voix est devenue plus claire, raconte des histoires moins obscures, plus immédiates. Moins magiques ? Sans doute pas, puisque Little Angel frappe directement, quelque part entre les yeux et la tête et lève un peu de lumière pour la fin de l&#8217;hiver.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 411px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antenne/"><img title="by antenne on flickr" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2197/1793683006_d50f32fd4c.jpg?v=0" alt="by antenne on flickr" width="401" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Berghain by antenne on flickr</p></div>
<p>Achim Brandenburg is a bit of a Chicago house and Detroit techno buff, an area of expertise he first picked up as a record buyer for Hard Wax in his hometown of Saarbruecken. That was during the heyday of soulful house labels such as Prescription, and it&#8217;s a sound which still can be heard in Prosumer’s sets today. &#8220;My heart is beating for the early Chicago/Detroit sound and for music that feels similar and transports this feeling into today,&#8221; explains Achim.  Slowly the consumer turned into Prosumer, issuing his first record on 240 Volt in 2004.</p>
<p>A year later came &#8216;The Craze&#8217; on Playhouse, then vocal duties on Sebo K&#8217;s &#8216;Moved&#8217;, both of which became bona fide hits, melding house stabs with soulful vocals. Achim&#8217;s latest record is a collaboration with producer Murat Tepeli, with whom he also performs live, for Ostgun Ton, the record arm of Berlin&#8217;s Berghain/Panoramabar complex, where Achim is now a resident DJ.</p>
<p>&#8220;Whatever I do has got to be real,&#8221; says Achim about his DJing. &#8220;If a record doesn’t move me emotionally or physically, I won’t play it out. I have to feel the music and I’m always trying to share my feelings with the crowd on the floor. If everything goes down well, there’s an exchange going on. I try to keep a balance between pushing people’s buttons and surprising them. I’m sharing my inner emotions. And dance music has got to be horny.&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ale nuda. Wieszam tu w końcu podsumowanie płytowe roku, mimo niedokończonych alfabetycznych rekolekcji (to be continued, w miarę wolnego czasu). To prawdopodobnie ostatnie zestawienie najlepszych albumów, jakie gdziekolwiek przeczytacie, więc zapewne nie jest już nikomu potrzebne. Ale ten dłuższy czas był mi w tym roku naprawdę potrzebny &#8211; to był rok może nie tyle ważnych, co przynoszących sporo przyjemności albumów. A sporządzenie tego zestawienia kosztowało mnie wiele rwania włosów z głowy i dodatkowych przesłuchań. I to bez żadnej gwarancji, bo kto wie, jak na to zestawienie popatrzę za rok, ba, za miesiąc. Sporządziłem je w pełni subiektywnie, jak zwykle bez kolejności (bo jak coś jest już najlepsze, to nie bardzo widzę powód, by odróżniać &#8220;lepsze&#8221; od &#8220;jeszcze lepszych&#8221;) i niespecjalnie oglądając się na opinie innych. No dobra &#8211; powiecie &#8211; ale przecież tu są płyty lepsze od innych. Oczywiście, w zależności od tego, pod jakim kątem na nie spojrzeć. Ale wszystkie skupiały moją uwagę wyjątkowo długo. Starałem się wybierać płyty, które kupiłbym za własne pieniądze raz jeszcze, nawet jeśli już je posiadam. Oto więc trzydzieści cztery najlepsze płyty 2008 roku moim skromnym zdaniem. Dlaczego akurat tyle? Jeśli ktoś zna moją listę sprzed roku, pamięta być może, że były na niej 33 pozycje. I jeśli teraz nie jest jeszcze wszystko jasne, to może za kilka lat uda mi się bardziej rozjaśnić, jeśli tylko wytrwam w woli prowadzenia tego bloga.<br />
Dzięki dla paru osób, które mi podsuwały różne płyty w tym roku. A ponieważ te osoby same dobrze o tym wiedzą, pozwalam sobie nie wyróżniać ich z nazwiska.</p>

<blockquote><p><em>* Tak, wiem, wyszła wcześniej. Kto ją znał w roku 2007 &#8211; ręka do góry. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>
<p><em>** Tak, wiem, to czystej wody reedycja albumu z 1971 roku, ale płyta nigdy dotąd nie wyszła na CD</em></p></blockquote>
<p>PS  Temat podsumowania i końca roku będzie jeszcze wracał na tym blogu w kilku odsłonach, bo nowy rok, jak wiadomo, oficjalnie zaczyna się dopiero wraz z premierą nowej płyty Animal Collective <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
