"MCBRIDE WOODY de Minnesota, también conocido como "DJ ESP" ha sido un DEFENSOR, ENTUSIASTA Y ORGANIZADOR DE ARTES Y LAS ACTIVIDADES DE MÚSICA DESDE LOS 80's.

Esta experiencia y futura dedicación lo llevó a ser el recipiente del prestigioso "PREMIO DE MÚSICA DE MINNESOTA" como "MEJOR ARTISTA DE ELECTRONICA" de pie junto a otros ganadores como PRINCE, SOUNDS OF BLACKNESS Y KID LANG JOHNNY .... SU ALBUM "STRANGELY ARRANGED" (presento artistas locales y decenas de prestigiosos artistas internacionales), fue votado como uno de los diez mejores de la decada "por el galardonado premio "WEEKLY MINNEAPOLIS" de "CITY PAGES" en 2000.

Despues de trasladarse y mudarse a Minneapolis en 1988, el volumen de la carrera artistica de Woody se intensifico, llevando su conocimiento en las bellas artes, periodismo y diseño gráfico, a un nuevo nivel.

Habiendo trabajado con el pionero de la música de OMNI-GÉNERO Y DJ KEVIN COLE (AHORA DIRECTOR CREATIVO DE AMAZON.COM), ESP (WOODY) fue considerado a ser uno de los mejores exponentes de musica electrónica en el mundo como DJ, productor y promotor con la supervision y desarrolllo del label "COMMUNIQUE" que esta considero como uno de los diez mas respetados sellos discográficos de mejor reconocimiento a nivel mundial (techno, house, funk, ambient) Interpretando y dandole una plataforma a artistas vanguardistas.

Desde 1991, ESP ha compuesto cientos de temas clásicos en su label "COMMUNIQUE" entre los que destacan: "BASKETBALL HEROES, COMEDY TRAGEDY, PSICK AND TIRED, SOUNDBURNT AND ELECTRIS" AS WELL AS "HIDDEN" (LABWORKS), "RATTLESNAKE" (MAGNETIC NORTH) "THE EARTHWORM SINGS" (EX), "SLO MO" (DEFINITIVE) y muchas mas canciones y remixes en BUSH, TLC, MISSILE, ANALOG, FOODCHAIN, TRANSATLANTICEXPRESS, BLUE LINE, 611, SWELL, OVUM, SYNEWAVE AND URBANGROUND.

"TURNED ON 2" celebrada en Noviembre del 2000 fue el evento más grande y más emocionante en la historia del medio este de USA con mas de 7000 personas en lista de asistencia y fue el primer evento en la historia de USA que fue"DRUG FREE RAVE EVENT". El evento presento artistas de la talla de Q-BERT, SANDRA COLLINS, HENRIK B, DERRICK CARTER, FRANKIE BONES, CHRISTOPHER LAWRENCE y docenas más ...

Sus eventos siempre se han caracterizado por tener los mas grandes sistemas de audio "WALL OF BASS" que tiene las medidas de 20' pies de alto por 150' pies de largo con un poder de 1,000,000 de WATTS de sonido fino, claro y totalmente orgasmico que puede ser escuchado a diez millas de distancia, practicamente siendo el pionero de lo que seria un nuevo standard en una nueva era musical.

ESP es un campeón de diversión y un revolucionario promotor que tiene como fin propulsar y promover eventos sin drogas y disfrutar de la musica en un entorno legal, seguro y que todos puedan disfrutar.

Bajo estas normas y nuevos estandares de eventos y promociones, ESP fue contratado para producir la musica de las eleciones presidenciales del 2000 para el candidato RALP NADER, produjo la musica para un comercial del BMW AUTOMOBILES, también lo hiso para el famoso y galardonado cineasta STEVEN SMITH, y fue contratado para anclar el A & R en los expedientes de "K-TEL RECORDS" sello discografico que fue "columna vertebral" del los años 70 y 80 de la era disco.

FWD Interview>> Luis Flores Interview

2011-01-12T21:04:00.000-08:00

Luis Flores

Mexican born Luis Flores has been producing electronic music for over fifteen years, as well as helping to launch the highly influential Mexican labels Nopal Beat Records and Antena Discos. Flores has also been at the forefront of raising Mexico's profile as a destination for clubbers and techno fans worldwide, helping to organize massive concerts, festivals and parties for the public as well as working with international organizations such as MUTEK to bring their events to his homeland. After the release of his 2009 Damage EP on Droid Recordings to critical acclaim (being charted by Speedy J, Chris Liebing and more), Luis Flores has become a core artist for Los Angeles based techno crew Droid Behavior where he continues to push his brand of dark, paranoid minimal rollers alongside LA heroes Drumcell, Audio Injection and Raíz.

You grew up in Mexico, which didn't have much of a techno scene until the very late 90s/early 00s, can you tell us about growing up in Mexico and your first experiences with electronic music and techno?

I was first exposed to electronic music in the late 80´s at a local club called Ricks where Jorge HM would dj everything from Nitzer Ebb to Skinny Puppy. Afterwards, our interest in the music grew to the point where a bunch of us ended up doing a radio show at the state’s college station (104.3 FM) called la Fabrica X in 1989. That led to putting on concerts and parties where EBM and Industrial were featured.

By 1991 the rave scene was exploding here in Guadalajara through a series of parties called Danceterias. Jorge was the dj and this time playing techno, house, acid, etc. The parties got so big after a couple of years that the police and government came down on us in their usual fascist
manner and stopped everything for a year or so…

From 1994 to 2001 the scene grew with several promoters, djs and radio shows even specializing in specific genres. All this time dealing with the government and police every couple of years whenever the crowds became too big for their “moral” peace of mind.

By the end of 2001 the scene was peaking again and a 4,000 + people festival outside of Guadalajara got brutally raided by the police on the whim of the newly elected governor, Francisco Ramírez Acuña, who was on the hunt for easy headlines for his war against crime.

Fortunately though, Mr. Ramírez underestimated the scene´s determination and ability to organize and suffered from a nation wide media backlash and free party protests held in front of the government´s HQs in downtown Guadalajara.

By 2003, electronic music had become a legitimate cultural expression and the municipal culture office, lead by Santiago Baeza, was funding free festivals, galleries and street shows for crowds of up to 15,000 + people.

From 2003 until the end of 2006 the city experienced several landmark events held in the city´s main square and streets featuring Skoltz Kolgen, Richie Hawtin, Dr. Martin, Bajofondo Tango Club, Sidestepper, Misstress Barbara and the microMUTEK 2005 and MUTEK@GDL 2006 festivals to name a few.

You helped found Nopal Beat Records, one of the most influential record labels in the Mexican electronic music community. Can you tell us about the role Nopal Beat played in bringing techno to Mexico and can you explain its trademark "acid cabaret" style?

Nopal Beat came together at the end of 1999 as a vehicle to release all the music being produced by the few electronic artists at the time. Back then electronic music was shunned by all major labels and most independents in the country, so we decided to publish the music
ourselves.

We decided to make a specific effort in incorporating the aesthetic, musical and visual, of the old school cabaret dark Mexican nightlife as the label’s mark and in the artists’ shows, integrating live Latin percussion and related visuals to our presentations, the result was called Acid Cabaret.

By the end of 2001 we signed with EMI and got into that whole “major label” cliché with all of its nightmares and wonders: big budgets and big responsibilities.

The Nopal Beat – EMI joint venture came to an end in 2005 after the record industry collapse happened to reach the Mexican majors and we became independent again, re-releasing all our catalogue with several new albums.

You also helped launch the Antena Discos label. How was this different from Nopal Beat and what's going on with it these days?

Antena came about as the escape valve for all the music being produced that did not fit into Nopal Beat´s indentity. Where NB’s sound encompassed everything from house to jazz and drum n bass to cumbia, Antena focused on all the machine driven sounds that since then feel more relevant.

You are one of Droid Behavior's core artists. How did you guys meet and start working together?

I met Moe, Drumcell, at a festival where we played on the same stage. We seemed to hit it off musically and started corresponding till the Dain Bramage E.P. came to be.

Afterwards I got the chance to perform at one of their Interface shows in LA and eventually was able to bring Raíz, Audio Injection and Drumcell down to Guadalajara.

What does being part of Droid Behavior mean to you and how has Droid Behavior helped to raise the profile of techno in the US and especially the west coast?

Droid seems to be one of the few names doing steady work to put the US back into the techno limelight, taking all aspects of the culture, musically and visually, to deliver something with depth to the audience in their releases and performances.

I am grateful to be a part of it to say the least.

Let's talk about production for a bit. What gear/plug ins have you been using lately? Do you prefer hardware to software? Why or why not?

I got my first sampler around 1991 and then got seriously into an analog synth addiction which lasted the most part of that decade, but when computers finally got to the point where you could do most of the work in the box, I got rid of my collection and never looked back.

I truly appreciate the hands on aspect of analog and outboard gear in general but wouldn’t trade the microscopic level of control computers give you, me being obsessive that way. At the end of the day, if I had to record all of my outboard gear into the machine I wouldn´t be able to
finish any track.

Mix wise the UAD card and plug-ins have been my cornerstone since 2006. On the side of composition, when I installed the first version of Native Instrument´s Massive I stopped using any other synthesizer except Reaktor. New additions, the Sound Toys Suite is my holy grail lately and I owe that to Audio Injection for introducing me to them.

All this running in Ableton Live.

I last saw you perform at Droid Behavior's Interface 31 where you played an amazing set from a live PA. Can you talk to us about what hardware/software you use in your live rig?
My obsessive approach to studio work is the opposite when it comes to the live setup where hands on is the main objective.

The setup includes: Vermona Drum Mrk2, Behringer BCR2000, Mackie 802-VLZ, RME Hammerfall soundcard and Ableton Live running on a VAIO laptop.

Your live PAs are characterized by a highly improvisational nature. Can you talk to us about the role of improvisation in live performance?

All the tracks I have produced since 2006 are broken down by parts in my Live file along with new loops, this way I can recombine anything to a different result to suit the occasion.

Most of the time I have no idea how the set is going to start and when I think about where it’s going to go it usually goes in a different direction once the music starts.

Lastly, where's your favorite place to party and why?

Berghain in Berlin hands down. Had one of the best times watching Moe and David perform there!!

Out Now: DROID.11 | RAÍZ – KEEP SECRETS EP

2010-11-22T11:07:00.000-08:00

DROID.11
Raíz – Keep Secrets EP
Remixes by Jerome Sydenham | Function | James Ruskin

Available now in digital format on Beatport
and where all Vinyl is sold.

The Enigmatic duo behind much of Droid Behavior’s activity, Vangelis and Vidal Vargas make their debut on Droid Recordings as Raíz. Raíz marks a new sound and message for the label, bringing a deeper sound to the power and grit. The Raíz project first appeared on Historia y Violencia with the dark dub track NUEVA, which made waves last spring for the label from techno’s epicenter, Berlin. The duo delves into an exploration of atmosphere, psychedelia, and themes of emotional disorder with the Keep secrets EP. On remix duties are like minded music veterans James Ruskin of Blueprint UK and Jerome Sydenham vs Function of Ibadan / Sandwell fame.

The title track develops slowly but surely into tougher dance floor territory with jagged percussion structures across an odyssey of eerie, spacey synth work. When the breakdown hits, crowds will be begging for the next hard hitting chapter to unfold… and it delivers. On the flip is Been Caught, and equally deep cut with enough groove to keep audiences moving at any time from peak hour on. Vibrato chord progressions accompany detailed sound design, chilling vocal snippets, and big room ready drum programming.

The new found collaboration of Jerome Sydenham and Function impressed industry and fans alike on CLR’s spring series of vinyls. The duo bring a similar vibe to this remix of Keep Secrets, which adds a new dub element and vocal rework to the original. Percussion is thickened, and all song elements are re-sequenced and reinterpreted for the hardest of DJ sets.

James Ruskin injects the original drum track with a dose of steroids on his remix of Keep Secrets. The resulting impact is big enough to blast the proverbial dust off any Funktion One. Ruskin sets his focus on the synth lead, reminiscent of 90’s techno purity, and adds his own touch of xperimentalism to the resulting form. The unique sequencing of his interpretation becomes clear in its second half when things become serious and slightly solemn. Despite the presentation of darker emotions on this cut, the energy is never compromised. This remix stays dance floor essential and psych ready.

Complicit [Live PA] - From 0-1 Studio Session Vol 029

2010-11-01T11:18:00.000-07:00

Complicit is an exploration of modern techno and an experiment in musical partnership for contributing members Tanya and Travis Norman. Longtime enthusiastic supporters of Minneapolis talent, the duo was looking for a way to translate that inspiration into a statement of their own. They found it by crafting a production and performance workflow running identical controllers manipulating a single system. The resulting symmetry and real time dynamics, a balancing act of duties divided by frequency range, are allowed to combine in unpredictable ways and evolve along a non-linear timeline, thereby insuring a unique mix at each event.
Early forays into performance have witnessed the duo making good their commitment to manifest a favorite Minneapolis slogan: "Keep Techno Sexy." Whether contributing to the renowned Black nights at First Avenue or to intimate after hours events, the vibe has been sweaty, sultry, and designed for dancing. Fans who witness the extra level of communication evident in non-verbal cues dictating build up and release of the material realize quickly the strength of connection between the two musicians. Meanwhile, the improvisational aspects of the pair's presentation translate to a potent in-the-moment awareness - one that spreads easily from performer to listener, enveloping each in a unified soundscape.

[nu podcast 018] Go!Diva - Words Mean Nothing

2010-09-13T09:58:00.000-07:00

Excellent podcast made by Go!Diva , pls some feedback and support this artist!
About Go!Diva:
Danielle M. N. Godiva aka GO!DIVA was born in Holland in 1980. She always had a passion for music. When house music got on her way she started to collect vinyl in 1992. A year later she went to her first big rave and started to produce hardcore with some friends. After a few years, DJs like Dave Clarke, Jeff Mills, Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin etc. got her back into techno music.
In 2001 she picked up producing again, with simple programs just for fun, so nothing serious. After 16 years of collecting vinyl and going to parties she got her first turntables at the end of 2007. In 2009 she started to play at parties/festivals and soon she realised that her passion for music was more than just a hobby and invested in some hardware and software to use and make music in a more professional way.
GO!DIVA loves all kinds of electronic music, but mainly focus on techno. Her mixes are made with vinyl and Traktor (with timecoded vinyl). For producing she uses ableton, akai apc and vst`s.
2010 started good for GO!DIVA. She made it into the finals of the Next Generation DJ contest. On february the 8th she had her first release `Be Patient` on Lot49 and more releases on Intertech Records, !Organism Records, Redbox Records, NBG-music and Brickwork are scheduled for later this year. On the 16th of february she started her own radioshow `GO!DIVA FM` on fnoob.com .
Her favorit producers/dj`s are: Extrawelt, Popof, Umek, Trentemoller, Stephan Bodzin, Oliver Huntemann, Pan-Pot, Adam Beyer, The Advent & Industrialyzer, Joey Beltram, Pfirter, Virgil Enzinger, Sven Wittekind, Pig and Dan, Lutzenkirchen, Matthew Johnson, Alessio Mereu, Tomy Declerque, Secret Cinema, Julian Jeweil, Ortin Cam, Aphex twin, Prodigy, Mr Oizo and many more

Timefog 07: James Patrick - Muscle Memory EP w/ remixes by Barem, Someone Else, Jon Hester, and Zarbeat

2010-09-10T07:59:00.000-07:00

Timefog 07 : James Patrick - Muscle Memory EP with Remixes by Barem, Someone Else, Jon Hester, and Zarbeat

Available Exclusively on Beatport

https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/277699/Muscle%20Memory%20EP

---------------------------------------------------------------

Muscle Memory (original)

http://timefog.net/releases/tf07/musclememory.mp3

James Patrick delivers detailed, mind-expanding techno expanses with a floor-rocking remix package. Popcorn blips set the pace of this filthy afterhours material, adorned with noisy ornaments to keep you guessing. Pulsing bass under thunderstorm echoes and tron soundscapes drop the science like Newton dropped the apple. This is one your muscles and your mind will remember thanks to an ethereal break before plunging back into mechanical muscular communications.

Where You Goin (original)

http://timefog.net/releases/tf07/whereyougoin.mp3

Rhodes lines and trippy glitches shimmer along this trip down a nighttime highway full of deep bass, huge toms and sonic surprises... The party question of the moment is.. Hey... where u goin? Sure to be well received by fans of the quirkier side of detail oriented dance music.

Where You Goin (Barem Remix)

http://timefog.net/releases/tf07/whereyougoinbarem.mp3

Barem (m_nus, foundsound) adds effortlessly flowing drum hits that set up the vocal hook and kick off this smooth, powerful remix. Steady muffled chords and womps lock in a backbeat that bounces along under purposeful percussion re-treatments. The energy is maintained through beautiful bright pads and more snaps and hits. This summer burner is ready for some festivals!

Where You Goin (Someone Else's Helper Mix)

http://timefog.net/releases/tf07/whereyougoinhelper.mp3

Sean O’Neal aka Someone Else aka Little Helpers delivers a looped up, freight train jackathon remix. We are given a little tease of the synth line and shakers, as they build into the locked high hats and kung-fu chop snare, perfect for building tension and energy in a set.

Where You Goin (Jon Hester's Sweatbox Firework Mix)

http://timefog.net/releases/tf07/whereyougoinhester.mp3

Timefog artist Jon Hester makes his second appearance on the label with this speaker-searing interpretation for fans of Levon Vincent and raw house. Hypnotic, circular high hats build over a grooving bassline with echoes and drum fills, reaching a climax of screaming synths flying over hot rising tides for a dance floor moment to remember.

Where You Goin (Zarbeat's Workout Mix)

http://timefog.net/releases/tf07/whereyougoinzarbeat.mp3

Chicago’s Zarbeat (Diffusion Records) pumps up the kick drums and percussion for a double time step-a-thon that would leave Jane Fonda cursing like a sailor. Unexpected bass changes and breaths of synth hooks keep things interesting while never losing the beat.

---------------------------------------------------------------

2010-09-09T07:01:00.000-07:00

The Creators Project: Technology and the development of your career have gone hand in hand. What further innovations would you like to see?
B6: So far audiences can only listen to music in two channels, but that’s not enough for me to express my ideas. I want to have more channels to express my music so that we can give audiences different experiences when listening to music. And then I would like to put some elements of philosophy into those devices, such as the concepts of time and space.

And right now you’re focusing on making some of these multi-channel devices that you dream about, correct?
I have two projects. The first one is in cooperation with a furniture company in Germany. They provided some furniture, which was made in 80s and 90s, and I redesigned these pieces into a musical device. It has a microphone people can use to create sounds and make echoes in different ways. The other one is an eight-channel device and involves a painting that I cut into eight pieces. I then positioned these pieces strategically in a room. The way it works—it’s hard to describe—but you can hear only fragments of the music depending on where you’re standing.

Describe the first device you used to make music.
In the beginning we used low-powered computers to make music because we were students; we couldn’t afford good equipment. We just learned how to make music by ourselves and searched lots of information on the internet, even though it hadn’t been well-developed at that time. It was really tough.

You’re also well known for your graphic design work. How did you get into that?
After graduating from college, I worked at an American company and did design but I could not get used to being an employee. I soon quit the job. Personally, I don’t really like graphic design and I don’t think the graphic design market is well developed in China. Another reason I don’t really like graphic design is because you don’t need too many skills to do it. If you can use some easy software, then you can make the design and call yourself a “designer.” It is the violence of visualization. Maybe my works are part of the violence, but I still want to avoid doing something that I don’t agree with.

Yes, but you design posters for your clubbing team Antidote, right? Was forming Antidote a reaction to your feelings about design and music?
The reason we named our team Antidote was because most of the clubbing music in Shanghai was too commercialized at the time, and we didn’t want to our music be like that. We decided on the name to represent the antidote to cure this type of music industry. Right now we have more than 100 posters for Antidote, and people consider these posters trendsetting in Shanghai. The only rule I use to design these posters is: no rules!

Timefog 06: Sidney Frost - Superfling EP with remixes from Audio Injection and Paul Birken

2010-06-24T09:47:00.000-07:00

New Artist Sidney Frost brings you an ep of dry, dirty, and quirky techno.

NOW AVAILABLE ON BEATPORT
https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/254581/Superfling%20EP

Superfling
http://timefog.net/releases/tf06/preview-superfling.mp3
A dirty, throbbing party rocker. A deep kick and low-slung bassline pulses along with raw snare fills, cymbal crashes and dark-edged rides flicking the tempo forward. A heartfelt pitched-down monologue describes sources of musical inspiration as popping percussion and swelling noise bring the fling to a climax. Sure to be a favorite in big rooms.

Superfling (Audio Injection Remix)
http://timefog.net/releases/tf06/preview-superfling%28audio_injection_remix%29.mp3
Audio Injection (DROID) delivers a floor-pounding, festival-sized remix for fans of the Berghain sound. Taking no time at all to get into it, the pressure builds and builds, with a huge kick, pitch shifting scattered drums, time-warped atmospherics, and a thick snare. Making limited and percussive use of the spoken words, the beat is pushed to the front. Shakers and affected bleeps fill in to keep the rhythm section pumping and the floor heaving. Huge!

Superfling (Paul Birken Remix)
http://timefog.net/releases/tf06/preview-superfling%28paul_birken_remix%29.mp3
Minneapolis analog god Paul Birken elbow-drops his unique personal touch, with machine driven beeps chattering over a wonky reinterpreted bassline. The voices are reduced to snippets as laser guided stabs do rock em sock em robot battle on the dancefloor.

Moki
http://timefog.net/releases/tf06/preview-moki.mp3
Plastic marbles ping their way across the floor amid shuffling clicks and compressed delay sounds. Distant submerged sirens make their approach around dramatic tom fills before the beat drops in a locked groove. An effective warehouse techno tool.

On the Mountain
http://timefog.net/releases/tf06/preview-on_the_mountain.mp3
Haunting synths drift in the background of a marching beat and punching snares, with grinding gears pulling a shadowy train up a steep slope. A phantom trumpet player plays a stirring dub bolero from the cliffs above, urging the ascent of the ambiance. This is a moody hypnotic journey perfect for deep in the mix.

Feedback:

Acid Circus: nice work. digging the birken and audio injection mixes. both great for different occasions. B-) on the mountain is also great...the techno trumpet is a nice touch.

Audio Injection: Strong release! :)

Someone Else: my monster penis and i are happily diggin the superlfing original.

Plastikman // interview by PlayGround

2010-06-09T07:45:00.000-07:00

Plastikman

On a permanent transition

Richie Hawtin is a man permanently in transition. “If you just sit there in one place with your arms crossed thinking that nothing will change, you are already dead,” he says in the following interview. Where other people may sit and wait, he’s making a proactive contribution to progression in techno, in his life, and in ours. The current live show rescues, at last, his raw and acidic minimalist Plastikman project developed in the early days through the Plus8 label. Very soon the show will land at Sónar to flood the night at the Barcelona festival with stroboscopic lights, LEDs curtains and the actualisation of such classics as “Spastik” and “Helikopter”, all in the name of progress, not nostalgia. “I believe there is a void, an emptiness that needs to be filled by Plastikman,” he continues. He’s taking no prisoners. We chatted with Hawtin in Paris, on 9^th May, where he spoke about why he’d rescued Plastikman and the complete graphic and sound renovation of the project, of his vision of the world and plans for the future –in particular a future project called “Replikants”, that until now has been his best kept secret. All this and plenty more are just a click of the play button away.

Plastikman will be performing at Sónar on friday 18th. You can still get your tickets here.

Ricardo Villalobos cancels Movement 2010, Hawtin to sub in…

2010-05-28T06:56:00.000-07:00

Well, that TOTALLY sucks. Here’s the scoop:
.
Ricardo Villalobos’ scheduled performance this weekend at the Movement Electronic Music Festival Powered by Ford Fiesta has been cancelled, but Richie Hawtin has agreed to perform in his place on the BeatPort Stage Sunday, May 30 from 9 pm until midnight.
.
Goetz Guse of Cocoon Agency out of Frankfurt, Germany informed festival organizers today that Villalobos will not be able to perform at Movement. Guse said, “Ricardo did not receive his Working VISA back in time due to US immigration Authorities at abroad consulates. Even with precocious legal support from the US as well as from Germany he still wasn’t able to obtain the Working VISA due to unexpected bureaucratic obstacles.”
.
Movement organizers expressed disappointment about the news regarding Villalobos, but are optimistic festival-goers will enjoy a Richie Hawtin performance as the replacement.
.
“We are disappointed Ricardo is not able to make it, especially with it being so close to the festival, but the show must continue,” said Jason Huvaere, the executive director of Movement. “However, we are very grateful Richie agreed to fill in. Nowhere else will you get to experience Richie Hawtin presenting Plastikman live one night, and then the next night see an original Richie Hawtin DJ set, it’s going to be truly amazing.”
.
The Plastikman live performance will be the headliner on the Vitaminwater Main Stage the first night of the festival, Saturday, May 29. It is scheduled for 11 p.m. to midnight. After Hawtin performs a three-hour set on the Beatport Stage, he will be aboard the sold out Voyage Royal: I’m on a Boat 2 after party to perform with DJ Magda in place of Villalobos on the second floor of the Detroit Princess.

Luis Flores (Droid) - Live PA

2010-05-20T15:10:00.000-07:00

Luis Flores has one of the longest and most respected track records in electronic production in Mexico. He was part of Double Helix until its dissolution in 2002. He is a founding partner and creative director of Nopal Beat Records and Antena Discos. He is also involved in an audiovisual project, Kumbia Korrupters, which has performed at MUTEK MX and the Meet in Beijing festival in China.

Veteran of Mexico's techno scene, Luis Flores makes his debut appearance on the Droid Recordings label with Dain Brammage. As an artist and musical catalyst, Luis has shared many ideals with the

members of Droid. After years of pushing innovating and non-conforming concepts, Luis has developed his own production style that is precise and hypnotic with a healthy degree of dance floor groove.

His title track is a deep journey into psychedelia and unearthly bass. Brammage contains few essential elements, each tripped to perfection. Sparse, eerie vocals surface through out the 6-minute sequence

Flores inside track "The Call" is an exercise in dark subtlety. Four minutes in Flores introduces a rippling synth gate that pulls listeners deeper into audio submission. Cerebral and essential.

Droid hit makers Drumcell and Audio Injection take the best elements of Flores' music and raise them to new levels of club hype on their re-interpretation of Dain Brammage. The duo delivers yet another hands-in-the air anthem for the modern age.

Dj ESP Woody McBride reveals Bassgasm 2 lineup

2010-05-19T19:30:00.000-07:00

Being a dance music lover in Minneapolis has been a bit of a tough endeavor -- we're like that misunderstood animal at the zoo they keep moving around because it roars too loudly too often. For a decade plus, our native environment was once warehouses, community centers and other unconventional venues until law enforcement axed that option and the herd merged into clubs, leaving fans feeling displaced and disgruntled but still packing that mighty roar.

Leader-of-the-pack techno renegade DJ ESP Woody McBride truly tested and pushed the boundaries of the club environment at First Avenue last February with his dance music experiment "Bassgasm." It utilized every foot of that space to contort it to five rooms featuring many electronic genres, erecting huge platforms for wild dancers and packing the place with an energy -- and bass -- not felt since the early Soundburnt parties in the '90s. Now, he's back for another one.

Gimme Noise is proud to announce the lineup of CityPages.com-sponsored Bassgasm 2 and interview its curator about what's in store. Looking at the lineup of 63 artists, one thought rings out clear: Welcome to the jungle.

Gimme Noise: Woody, you're back for round two! Why?
ESP: BG1 was so much fun and so massive that there is really only one response to something like that - more fun and more massivity!! I have been fortunate to have traveled the world and experienced a multi-room "super-club" environment where you can eat different styles of music a la carte. And, I love all styles and I love what the independent EDM promoters at First Avenue are doing so I want to create that kind of European opportunity for people - just more intense and in that Midwest style we are crazy about!

What's Bassgasm really about?

BG is about Old Skool, New Skool and Future Skool. Many events now days are often 5 local performers of a select genre for $5 or one big commercial DJ for $25. BG works to feature many genres of EDM in 5 rooms all for $15/$20. And collectively we, the many patrons and the promoters, can afford to bring in several national headlining DJs across many genres in a multi-room facility like First Avenue. This is one of my arts - organizing. It is important work to give DJs, visual artists, decorators, dancers, sound, light and lazer engineers a relaxed anything-goes environment to do their thing. That is how magic and sparkle happen.

Was the loud thump of Bassgasm 1 not enough?

I think it was... it was a new Arena Concert rig that we had not used in the mainroom before and it was ripping chunks of the ceiling out at sound check. That said, the BG1 system was only turned up to about 30% of its potential... whew. This time, we are reconfiguring it for event more thump, more clarity and more coverage of the room. And we are fortifying all the other 4 areas. We have a new stage this time - The Techno Mosh Pit - and we have to say goodbye to the basement of the Entry for safety reasons. It is a mystery to me as much as it is to everyone else why we all love bass so much. I think it might be that we crave to feel a mirror image of our own life-force - lean up against big power and not get zapped - dance with the devil known also as our root chakra where our base impulses live. Have a BASSGASM! Or just have an awesomely fun time!

Who are the standout headliners to you this time?

All 63 of them, really. I suppose if we have to name names, there is at least one exciting national headliner for most of the EDM genres - Hulk (NYC/CHI) aka Claw, trillbass, Ritchie August for dubstep, Tommie Sunshine (NY) for elektro & rock, DJ Terry Mullan (Pitt) arguably one of USA's most legendary underground house DJs, Christian Bruna (NYC #1 club DJ) for drum n' bass, HeavyGrinder (LA) for elektro house, Mike G & Dakota Veer (MPLS, Madison) for techno and Keith McKenzie (Chi) one of USA's top breaks DJs.

But I also wanted to pay respects to other aspects of the underground EDM culture in America by bringing in Tom Foolery and his buddy Tekfro from Miami/St Louis. They are amazing DJs but also possibly USA's top underground EDM festival promoters. They do Underground Sound Festival in the Ozarks in a beautiful wooded area - pure magic and a real trick to pull off events like these.

We also feature two styles of music that you may not be super familiar with: drum n bass & hardcore. Sure, techno and house are household names nowadays, but nothing lights up a party like fast tempo music - and heck, harder music is what helped build the underground scene - and don't you forget it. I went and saw KORN play last night and it reassured me that in order to stay sane and stick it to the man WE MUST ALWAYS TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO RAAAWWWWWK!

I know booking this show was challenging. Talk about that.
It was really challenging - hours and days and months of planning. Weeks of wrestling with booking agents who are holding out for the highest bidder - or sending the bigger names over to Europe for big money festival season. Our message that "this is an important showcase event for a lower ticket price" held little sway with the agents with which we placed competitive offers for some really eccentric talent that we did not get this time around. That formula burns out artists fast and eats good promoters alive. I pledged to the other co-promoters that I would try to book some of the artists they wanted to see and in the end most of those artists were not available, were too expensive or will join us in the future.

Why should followers of the bass care about this show?

I am happy to say that my good reputation proceeds me and I have not delivered anything less than a kick ass show yet. If you have not been to a Wall of Bass party, you must. If you missed the raves of the formative Midwest years this party will give you a little taste. If you are sick of the same old - this party is for you. If you want to run around and scream your head off and get totally sweaty and crazy - this party is for you.

Why not just do a rave?

Well, I am not up to taking the risk, I don't like breathing warehouse dust and muck and we always got in trouble for having too loud a sound system. It is the best of both worlds the way we set this up - it is a day out of time. You forget you are in a club, you forget you are stuck in other people's reality, you forget that there is a division between DJ and crowd.

Tell us a special secret about Bassgasm 2 before you go.

I came up with a slogan: "I am here to dance, not to be scene". If anything that is what I am trying to do - create a space to chill out your mind and dance off your ass at the same time. Basically, I wanna keep the sound underground and I want you to Kerrrrrrannkkk it up!!!

Also: It is nice that you want to ask me these questions, but there are many people that work to make this event fly. The club and its staff, the other First Avenue promoters, my friends who brainstormed on the line-up, my street team and all the performers and technicians involved.

See you at BG2!

Little Aaron + Dj Overdose

A long standing reunion in the making, Aaron and Brant are again joining up for a 1 time special event on 4 turntables. Having individually rocked dance floors back in the mid 90's, history remembers a very special night in Fargo when they joined together and debuted on 4 decks. No rehearsal, no practice, just magic. As time passed, Brant pursued other life priorities and Aaron broadened his musical interests, tastes, and talents including a hiatus on the West Coast. They have remained good friends despite the time gaps and have for some time reminisced of linking up again to play together on 4 decks. They both carry an appreciation for the anthemic acid classics and also deep, hard techno beats. For this special evening, come hungry planning for a healthy portion of acid stompers and techno beaters. It's likely to be the last time it's being served up, and it will surely be a hearty portion for your electric soul. This is a special night that you don't want to miss!

Miss_Sunshine [Osijek, Croatia]

2010-04-27T10:28:00.000-07:00

Miss Sunshine is a deity of techno that commands attention while performing and beyond doubt one of the biggest electronic music fan. Always had an interest in music, but her passion for it evolved back in 1995, when she started to frequent the underground techno parties. She was perfectly placed to hear Balkan electronic music in its earliest forms.

She began her journey on the radio show “Clubhopping” (together with Loki Masa), the first “on air” electronic music experience in the area at that time and landed a prime residency at the Oxygene club in 1999 which led into a two year residency at Vega club. She played at the the serial of partys “Drumatica” together with big names of techno scene like Bone, Valentino Kanzyani, Jel Ford, Funk D.. Void, Gayle San and many more.

Through her DJ sets or her productions on labels like Monocline, Dual Musik, Eminor Rescue Mission or Schoene Musik, Miss Sunshine unifies perceptions of open minded people in her graceful sense for sounds and minimal tones, strengthened with solid tech grooves and the love of challenging music without boundaries.

Keeping along her path in 2000 she appeared on Croatian Annual Music Awards - Black Cat (“Crni Macak”), where she had the opportunity to host the Electronic music Category. In 2002, Miss Sunshine’s music took her to Valkana Beach Festival (Croatia) and Exit Festival (former Yugoslavia). She was also requested to attend the Sunrise Festival (Croatia) and Lady’s Sound Attack (Germany) during the same year.

People responses to the music, their peculiar lives, and exceptional party scenes have inspired Sunshine throughout the time and kept her hooked on the point of it: foster original sounds, mix music that mesmerizes audiences on the dance floor every time she performs, even though every so often her spins leads to the darkest and deepest corners of electronic music.

2006 has been another astonishing busy year for Miss Sunshine taking in venues across Europe. She also joined the Tuborg green DJ Academy as coach, teaching young people the basics in DJ skills, history and equipment. Same year Sunshine meets Marko Moree and together they start a techno/ minimal/ house sound project.

The next step was to make music and 2007 brings the debut EP “The morning after” on Decoded Mini records and the remix of the Mexican artist Isis Signum on Advanced Synergy rec.

At the beginning of 2009. the “Look Expensive” EP and remix for Sinisa Lukic’s track “Dry & Wet”, caused a stir and was sustained by many respectable DJs like Paul Hazendonk whom requested it for the “Sound Shifting 2.0” studio dj mix, released on Manual Music label.

Soon after this came the opportunity to do a remix for great Belgian DJ and producer, Tom Hades and his “ Cinema Club“ track, alongside with well-known Brazilian DJ and producer Wehbba. The release was gaining critical acclaim by world famous djs like Laurent Garnier, Joey Beltram or Chris Fortier.

In 2009 she joined Queens of Minimal Techno, music collaboration with Viktoria Rebeka. Queens of Minimal Techno events are an underground music experience presented across Europe and stand for quality electronic music.

As music is the soundtrack of her life, Miss Sunshine ends 2009 with her first solo release: Hush! EP on Monocline Rec. together with remix from Re:Axis, famous duo from Portugal. Ep charted by Tim Xavier in December; supported also by Miro Pajic, Billy Johnston, Patrick Bateman, Zhao, Jonas Reuther. Both tracks end up on Beatport minimal top seller chart (highest rank, 49th place).

Very busy start of 2010 with the second solo Ep Sugar Drops, out on Dual Musik (home of the famous producers: Barem, D.Squillace, Easy Changes etc.) gained support from Heron, B. Johnston, Jan Hendez, and was described as outstanding cutting edge electronics, artfully reduced and pleasantly unhousy. (Jonas Reuther)

Over the years Sunshine has built up a varied list of DJs/Producers that she has played with. To name only some, she has spun next to; Richie Hawtin, Sven Vath, Billy Nasty, Oxia, Umek, Aril Brikha, Ken Ishii, Christian Smith etc.

In search of new sounds and scenes, Sunshine continues her journey on and off the decks, always ready to perform in her unique style and technique.

Born and raised in Cuernavaca Morelos, Mexico, Yaleb started showing interest in music at an early age. To feed this interest he took flute, guitar and piano lessons. At the age of thirteen, like many other young Mexicans, Yaleb migrated to the United States.

Home to some of the most infamous rave parties in the mid and late '90, DJ's and promoters such as Woody McBride, Zak khutoretsky aka DVS1 (Hush Productions), Yaleb fell in love with his new hometown of Minneapolis. While going out to the local techno parties put on around town, one person took particular interest in this budding talent. Head of the Eccentric Beats promotion company and former editor of 365 Magazine (UK), Phil Martinez offered Yaleb the opportunity to play at one of his residencies. Here Yaleb was able to blend his Latin roots with music ranging from tribal and tech-house to techno and minimal.

As the opportunities to play at clubs throughout the city increased, Yaleb teamed up with Cesar Acosta to form the "MEXIKAN TEKNO MAFIA" (MTM).

Recently Cesar Acosta and Yaleb Villalobos delight people with their music and well taste on techno, making their Dj sets a magical experience that will take you trough a journey of climax and excitement. Now in days Yaleb is making a step up working on producing and making music.

SKOOZBOT

( plus 8 Records Mindshake )

Brian Connelly (a.k.a. Skoozbot), an Indiana native and Michigan
transplant, has long been interested in the interaction between humans
and technology. This interest has been met in his love of electronic
music, which is made by machines yet fueled by the soul.

As a DJ over the past decade, Brian has never been satisfied simply
blending two tracks together and has long sought to augment his mixing
by incorporating the limitless possibilities provided by technology.
Endless experimentation with both hardware and software has helped
bridge the gap, but as technology continues to grow, so does Brian's
curiosity for using it to open up new possibilities.

This blend of the human and the electronic is further explored in his
productions, where Brian aims to re-create instantaneous human
emotions through electronic sounds. Although these snapshots of our
consciousness can occur for just brief moments in our lives, they can
continue on and be further evolved through music.

Itzone - Ple It Lau Y El Primitivo (MONOCI24) - Promo from RE:AXIS on Vimeo.

Itzone - Ple It Lau Y El Primitivo (MONOCI24)

For the 24th release Monocline show up to you a brilliant work from the mexican top producer Itzone. In the remixing part we count with the remarkable work of Re:Axis. After releasing amazing music on labels like Dirtybird, People Mover and Bloq Recording, Itzone with this unforgettable EP made their second appearance on Monocline's catalogue. These tracks are the perfect sequel for his previous works exploring again his latin funky rhythms and spacey atmosfears. Itzone transfigured dance floors, massive stages and alternative spaces inside and outside of Mexico, performing in festivals such as Loveparade (Mexico & Chile) and Mutek Mx '07 (Live) as the festival closing headliner. Actually Itzone is seen as a top and one the most active figures in the Mexican electronic music.

.....................................

Roman Flügel Live at Robert Johnson Mix includes Itzone's Azul Magico

Prolific DJ and producer Roman Flügel will mix the next edition of Live at Robert Johnson, the
Frankfurt nightclub's acclaimed mix series.

Flügel has been an active DJ and producer since the mid-'90s, and has amassed an impressive
body of work under a wide variety of monikers. In addition to Alter Ego, his famous duo with
Jörn Elling Wuttke, he's produced dozens of records under names like Acid Test, Eight Miles
High, Roman III, Roman IV and Soylent Green. As a Frankfurt native, Flügel has played at
Robert Johnson countless times over the past decade, and says the club helped shape his style
as a DJ and producer, especially on tracks like "Rocker" and "Geht's Noch?"

"To have the chance to play at this place for 11 years now is definitely one of the most
important things that has happened in my musical career," says Flügel. "I remember the very
early days when people in their 50's turned up and thought the Robert Johnson must be a
venue for Blues music lovers."

Live at Robert Johnson will be Flügel's first solo mix CD. It does a nice job of portraying
Flügel's knack for diverse DJ sets, mixing up flamboyant gems like Armando's "Don't Take It"
with stonefaced techno tunes like Ben Klock's "Before One and Itzone's Azul Magico." The CD also includes two of
Flugel's forthcoming tracks, "N.M.I.S.M.D." and "Brian Le Bon," both of which will be released
together this spring on an EP accompanying the mix.

About Shane Bugai:

Shane Bugai has been playing electronic music for over ten years now and has always produced as a "free time hob...by" up until the last three years.
He was strongly influenced by the dark sounds of Detroit techno , the hand drums of tribal and the plain simple rhythms of minimal techno .
In the late 2009, Shane had really started to push his sound and landed his first deal with 6one6/Defrec with "Sleepless" . Shortly after, he signed with
"Nutation", a new label from Romania with "Splinter". Shane continues to produce Detroit style techno and evolves into a different dark minimal
sound. Moreover, he comes from a city with a very scarce electronic background,he is surprisingly surrounded by many talented artist such as:

Kikoman (Deep fried/Rumba) , Myles Sergé(6one6/Defrec /Miga/Mind Your Head/Mechanisms Industries/Aconito Records and Dosed Recordings) , Memnok (From 0 to 1/Tracer/Wandler and Fourth Kind) , Duky(Substudio/Neurotraxx/Tracer/ and Fourth Kind) , and Super Dre.(Bass Candi) which really helped Shane to progress with his electronic sound and his hunger to proceed to break the barriers of music.

Timefog Presents: Bruno Pronsato || BLACK || Saturday || First Avenue || 3.27.10

2010-03-24T08:48:00.000-07:00

Live At The Golden Squirrel - France by brunopronsato

Timefog welcomes back:

Bruno Pronsato
With his heady, intricately woven tracks and ominously funky live performances, Bruno Pronsato is one of techno’s most intriguing artists. His sound is full of contradictions: abstract but organic, sexy but drab, and though most of his records could easily stir a dance floor, they exist purely for themselves, never compromised for club potential. In music, as in life, Bruno likes to get weird, and the suspense that permeates his music often earns him the title of “minimal.” But it’s the deeply emotional moments—the warm, amber tones of tracks like “What We Wish,” “At Home I’m a Tourist” and “The Make Up The Break Up”— that point to Bruno’s true objective: as he blurted out to an Italian journalist last year, “I just want to make romantic techno.”

In 2006, Bruno moved from Seattle to Berlin to do techno full time, and it wasn’t long before he made a name for himself. His debut 12" was released in 2003 on Orac, a Kompakt distributed label, and was followed the next year by a full-length album, Silver Cities. Soon Bruno had the attention of labels like Philpot and Musique Risquée, both of whom released Bruno’s next EP’s. By 2005, Bruno’s live performance—an unusually nimble and improvisatory act—began receiving praise from XLR8R, The Wire, and dozens of underground European zines. It also piqued the interest of Ricardo Villalobos and Perlon boss Zip, who invited Bruno to play in their laptop super-group, Narod Nikki. Around this time, Bruno formed a duo with Sammy Dee called Half Hawaii. The pair played at nightclubs around Europe and international festivals like Mutek, and released two slick minimal records on Perlon and Hello? Repeat. But Bruno’s real breakthrough came in 2007 when he released Why Can’t We Be Like Us, a strange and beautiful album that received a “5/5” from Resident Advisor and endless accolades throughout the blogosphere. This secured Bruno’s position as one of techno’s most imaginative and virtuosic artists, a reputation he easily maintained with his next two releases: the weird and sultry Where’d You Learn to Kiss That Way on Hello? Repeat, and Take 1/ Take 2, a jazz-infected house jam he did with Daze Maxim, under the name Others.

In 2009, Bruno started his own label, thesongsays. It was partly a matter of necessity; he needed an imprint for his most ambitious work yet, a 38-minute epic called The Make Up The Break Up, so he decided to simply release it himself. Possibly his best work to date, The Make Up The Break Up received a deluge of praise upon its release, including another “5/5” from Resident Advisor. Later that year, thesongsays released its second record, a debut EP called What I’ve Lost by Benoit & Sergio. Dripping with half-ironic romantic sentiment, What I’ve Lost is a daringly unfashionable EP that, perhaps even more than his own tracks, reveals Bruno for who he truly is: a post-punk inspired techno artist that loves staying up all night, sipping whiskey with his pinky crooked.

Paw Lick LIVE
Jesse grew up in the middle of nowhere, Wisconsin, and fell in love with music at a young age. He devoured records of many styles and learned to sing, jam on guitar, and play keyboards. Jazz and blues were big early influences, and upon discovering electronic music, a love was developed for synthesizers and experimenting with sounds. His instruments of choice eventually became computers and various controllers.

His current set could be described as ambient dance or experimental techno and employs the power of Ableton Live with the collection of computer synthesizers, drum samples, and field recordings.

Jesse has lived in MPLS since 2008 and recently graduated from the Institute of Production and Recording. He spends time engineering music for clients, doing live sound, writing and performing electronic music, and attending as many shows as possible.

LoudNClear host BLACK presents:: DRUMCELL ( DROID) DVS1 (KLOCKWORKS)

2010-03-19T14:22:00.000-07:00

DRUMCELL
DROID-LA

DJ/producer Drumcell is co-founder of the popular Los Angeles based techno collective Droid Collective and one of the scene's biggest champions of an emerging hard, lean American minimal sound. His sound is a combination of needles-in-the-red aggressiveness coupled to an austere framework of dark electronic funk. An avowed technologist, Drumcell brings together the best elements of live performance and a traditional DJ set by exploiting recent breakthroughs in both software and mixer technology. His recent collaboration with Audio Injection entitled "Cell Injection" caught the attention of many DJ tastemakers including Speedy J and Richie Hawtin, signalling that the international community has now caught on to this new American sound. This fact, along with a main stage performance at this year's Movement Festival in Detroit, are growing proof that Drumcell is poised to become the artist to watch in 2010.

DVS1
KLOCKWORKS-MPLS

Zak aka DVS1, is one of the most prominent figures in the Minneapolis dance music landscape today. A local DJ favorite since the mid-90s, DVS1 continues to move floors with a combination of deep musical knowledge, unparalleled enthusiasm, and a vinyl collection of more than 10,000 records. As a promoter he has been throwing events in the Midwest since 1996 and has been responsible for putting together some of the most memorable lineups and successful events of the past 2 decades. As a producer, DVS1 makes music that is simple, effective and captures the feeling of the moment. DVS1’s first release, on Ben Klock's label, Klockworks, was released in August 2009 -- with future releases tentatively planned for Transmat, as well as another release with Ben Klock.

*RELEASE PARTY*

Loud and Clear is pleased to be hosting the Album release party for Timefog's "Flight to No Where EP" by DVS1, featuring remixes by Drumcell & Audio Injection.

Zarbeat – Site In Sight

2010-03-11T18:18:00.000-08:00

Born and raised in Mexico City, Zarbeat (aka Raul Rodriguez) joins the Siteholder UnCut family as a local Chicago transplant.

Agua De Coco proceeds steadily out of the gate with a pulsating, almost hypnotic groove that won’t stop, even if you ask it nicely. It’s goal is to work on you with its Chinese water torture-like mantra… BOOM BOOM BOOM.

My First Site offers a glimps of hope that you’ll get out of this bass-laden torture chamber. Creative synths and a bouncy gait tease you false promises of presidental pardons and the promise land. We all know you’re not getting out…ever.

Winter Coco decends on you like hoarfrost – silky smooth and deceptively deadly. The last track on this EP will no doubt steal your last breath. Smooth, rolling and funky as a mofo. You can kiss your chances of ever getting parole – its game over and Zarbeat wins!

Artist: Zarbeat

2010-02-26T15:46:00.000-08:00

Sound In Motion and Particle People are very proud to join forces and present a night of incredible music! Know that these two promoters plan on making this a memorable night for all, and with a lineup like the main room has, sound, lights, and atmosphere will be set accordingly.

Loco Dice

Every so often a DJ or producer comes along who inspires the collective imagination. If you’ve seen Loco Dice perform at his ten-year-long Tribehouse residency in his hometown Düsseldorf, or at DC-10 in Ibiza (from ’02-’06), you will have clicked to this. Loco Dice is someone who can puzzle together intangible moods with a direct approach. Via his DJ sets or his productions on labels like M_nus, Cadenza, Ovum, Four Twenty and Cocoon, he merges perspectives in his delicate sense for sounds and reflective atmospheres, underpinned with solid, physical grooves inspired by the hip hop that was his early sonic stomping ground in the mid- to late ‘90s. There’s something there for the dreamers, as well as for the 9-to-5ers who just want to lose everything in a moment of abandon on the dancefloor.

Martin Buttrich

Martin Buttrich has been involved in such a large number of productions since his beginnings in Hanover, Germany in 1995, it would give even the most eager of train spotters a difficult time. But by searching him on the web, you won´t be able to find much. Talking to Buttrich, however, you get the sense that he likes it that way. Shy by nature, Buttrich kept his head down working as a traditional studio producer for over a decade, producing records together with acts like Timo Maas and Loco Dice.

So what about Martin himself? In between all these amazing releases and projects he has found time to do stuff under his own name, releasing records on high profile labels such as Planet E, Cocoon and Four:Twenty, as well as putting together a live show.

The result was a string of big records including ‘Full Clip’ his remix of Tracey Thorn’s ‘It’s All True’ and most recently ‘Stoned Autopilot’ for Carl Craig’s Planet E label.
Loco Dice productions began to surface on Four:twenty and Superstar Recordings and took the dark and twisted sound developed for Timo and with Dice's influence stripped it right back to produce a fiercely isolated groove that has come to embody the dominant sound on dance floors in 2006. Loco Dice singles on Josh Wink’s Ovum, Richie Hawtin's Minus and Sven Vath's Cocoon have made Martin Buttrich and Loco Dice productions the number 1 sound right across the world and they are both on the eve of a move to New York in order to start soaking up the city's influence that they then want to translate into an album. The city also inspired Martin and Loco Dice to start their own record label and create a platform for music without blinkers. Desolat Music Group was born in 2007 and Loco Dice's mesmerizing debut "7 Dunham Place" was released in 2008.

But Martin is not only the studio wizard. You can catch him playing live in all serious clubs world wide. His live act includes laptop, several effect boxes, synthesizer and it constantly changes as it's important for Martin to act spontaneously, capture the mood of certain moments and experiment
instead of playing one hit after another.

Livio & Roby

Livio & Roby are two Romanian producers and DJs. They met in 2004, found mutual connection in their musical taste and style and joined forces to become production and DJ partners. With a great understanding of dance music and exceptional production skills they were soon making and remixing tracks on a regular basis. They produced tracks and remixes which appeared on labels such as Desolat, Cecille, Fumakilla, Junior Boy´s Own or Viva.

These two guys have made their own sound, ranging from Deep House and Tech to Detroit Techno. Their project, Monochrome, which also includes George G, brought the band both global prizes at the Heineken Music Thirst Studio Global Session competition in 2006 – The Global Winners and The People’s Choice Award. Being the Romanian winners of the local competition in 2006, 2007 got them in Las Vegas to represent their country and, of course, South Eastern Europe. Magazines like DJ Mag and Juice described their sets at Tao Beach and Tao Club as "highlights of the weekend".

In the beginning of 2008 Roby was awarded as Best Upcoming Artist at the Nights.ro Awards and Livio & Roby were awarded as the Best Producers at South Eastern Europe Music Exhibition Awards. In Romania, they started their own radio show at One FM, where they play two hours alongside their special guests.

By the end of 2007 they saw themselves "trapped" in the studio producing tracks for their first album called Monochrome - "Children of House FWD 01" [Ido Music] which was celebrated in Romania with an amazing album launch party at Studio Martin and will soon be available worldwide. After the success of that night, Studio Martin, the Bucharest legendary club, offered Livio & Roby their own monthly night, a residency that the boys decided to call „Children of House”, as the album. Meanwhile the boys also own residencies in famous clubs like La Mania on the Black Sea coast and Kristal Club in Bucharest.Beside their residencies they´re also players in some of the best known European clubs.

In 2008 they happened to play a set together with Loco Dice in Romania. He was so fascinated by their music and talent, that he decided to make them join the Artist Alife family. Thus they connected also with Desolat, where we surely will be able to hear more in the next time. Livio & Roby : Two very talented guys to keep an eye on in the future.

Xenia Beliayeva

2010-02-24T01:06:00.000-08:00

So that we do not misunderstand each other: Xenia Beliayeva is not an easy to enjoy sweet snack, neither as a producer nor as a DJ. Her arrangement of electronic music brings forth the demanding creatures of the night, which approve the sound as a central stylistic medium, but last but not least she adds a further sensual element with the addition of her voice. Not only "Ultra Glamour", but also "Hellraiser", to speak in her song titles. But first lets start from the beginning.

The mid twenties DJ originally comes from Moscow, and since the mid nineties her life has been linked with her deepest passion: music.
Whether in the scope of a traineeship for VIVA TV or a part time job in a CD rental agency in Cologne, as a freelance promoter for renowned labels such as Playhouse, Klang Elektronik and Mute, in the scope of her label management for Lone Records or as product manager of Ladomat for many years, her destiny is bringing her into connection with the music business again and again.

It was only logical therefore that in the course of the years Beliayeva also found her personal musical language. Since the mid nineties initially in the artistic area for private views or similar on the move as a DJ, she opened for Kraftwerk with Laurent Garnier in 1997 and for the centre for art and media technology (ZKM) in Karlsruhe. She then built up a continual presence as a club DJ from 2000 above all in her new home town of Hamburg. In particular her resident event "Kill them all" in the Hamburg Gum Club or her performances in Waagenbau (a nightclub in Hamburg) gained Xenia a reputation as one of the hottest DJ insider tips of the hanseatic city. In the meantime Xenia has a growing international action radius, and so you can hear her more often in club venues between France, Spain, Holland, Ukraine and Brazil or on her internet radio show xenbel on samurai.fm.

Xenia Beliayevas particular recipe for success is her singular mix of concert events and deejaying, which gives her DJ sets a unique result. "I have always sung, and for about four years I have been building my vocals into my deejaying as a central element. Of course I see myself first and foremost as a DJ for electronic music, or Techno to be more precise, but I dont want to limit myself to this role. Im not scared of innovation, experiments and the conscious break from keeping expectations. In this way its possible that in the middle of a techno set I will build in a Ministry record."

Also Beliayevas musical aesthetic as a producer draws up the effect of her incomparable voice. Apart from productions with Andre Winter and the French electro producer Arnaud Caschera (as a joint project of Da Fresh & Xenia Beliayeva for the Plantage 13 label Dance Electric) she became particularly famous with her singles for Anthony Rothers show label Datapunk. Tracks such as "Ultra Glamour", "Chocolate", "Nanotubes", "Hellraiser" and "Wedding & Funeral" as well as her new interpretation of the Rother classic "Dont Worry" make Beliayeva one of the most important ambassadors of the new label sound: powerful and energetic, Beliayeva flirts with industrial noise and in spite of everything remains full of emotion. No wonder that in the meantime even long standing cult figures of electronic music such as Nitzer Ebb singer Douglas McCarthy draw on Beliayevas mixing skills for the current single for the Fixmer/McCarthy project.

Just look at that flyer -- it looks like something you might have picked off the sidewalk back in downtown Minneapolis in 1996. The Twin Cities' homegrown techno godfather, DJ ESP Woody McBride, clearly has an itch for the good ol' days and we're all about to benefit from it. Sure, it kind of sucks this huge eight-hour dance party can't start at 1 a.m. in some condemned warehouse in the North Loop, but we'll gladly take the alternative: An all-headliners-all-night EDM extravaganza at First Avenue, the place that helped birth ESP's career back in the days of Radio Depth Probe with Kevin Cole.

We expect the vibe (you can't talk rave without it, sorry) will be something like Sunday Night Dance Party or System 33 back in the late '90s but with one or two major differences: First, the main attractions are worldwide dance music superstars (Derrick Carter from Chicago and Dieselboy from Philly) and secondly, you probably won't be able to clearly see the person next to you due to the massive vibration from bass that will have everyone bouncing like wind-up toys. Sound like a fun time? We thought so, but wanted to know more, so here's the 411 from ESP himself...


Denis Jeong Plaster for City Pages

Gimme Noise: What are you hoping this party will accomplish?

Woody McBride: This is an eight hour DJ and dance marathon. All headliners all night in five areas - a wonderful opportunity for everyone involved. This party is all about fun and excitement and good dance music of all shapes, sizes and styles. I am a techno DJ but I love and respect all styles of EDM and so should YOU! This is an early until late event. I want people to come out and dance all night at this ritual of fun, meditation, soul searching, and getting crazy! I have been very blessed with having to get to play my music all over the world. Part of giving back to my roots and continuum of fine dance music here in the TC is to share some of the special energy I have been exposed to. It will be great.

GN: How did you decide on the headliners?

Derrick Carter and Dieselboy are the best at what they do in America - maybe in the world - and it is an honor for us to share in their art form. And it goes deeper than that: Minneapolis, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, is home to several of the finest techno producers - The Attack People aka Dustin Zahn and Ian Lehman as well as James Patrick of Time Fog. And I suppose yours truly. Why look further when you have top shelf talent here? As this has become a techno city, I had to bring in some special surprises - Ciaglia from Indianapolis is one of America's next female DJ Stars - a master at DJing spacey minimal and tribal dance music that seems to flutter in from Never Never Land. From Detroit, there are is a collective of people that capture the spririt of the American underground - Detroit Techno Militia.And then there is the TC's biggest DJ, Soviet Panda, that is often overlooked by the scene per se but his draw and mixing style speaks for itself - he rocks every Saturday. The Midwest is also home to the nation's finest psytrance, so I brought the whole Mindoutpsyde crew up from Iowa with their DJs, their deco and their PLUR. Last but not least. Minneapolis is home to America's biggest happy hardcore deejay, DJ Spree, and his MC from Omaha - they light it up like any great performer ever. And DJ Vaski is a dub step phenomenon DJ/producer who is exploding here and everywhere - his music is something else, comparable to Bassnectar but with no fluff. I could keep going... all night all headliners. Down the rabbit hole we go.

GN: Tell us about a favorite memory you have with one of the headliners.

Whew... Derrick Carter showing up with the Superstars of Love to one of my parties looking like a cast from a '70s disco movie. His three deck layering of Prince records over the top of Chicago Jack records over the top of deep soul was boggling. As for Dieselboy, he launched an archetypal dance music historical moment in the Shawnee Cave in Southern illinois for 3,000 superfans years ago, taking five minutes to build up what was the most tension I have ever felt before. The beat and the bass dropped on a pretty good sized wall of speakers as a Superbowl-sized lazerbeam sliced through the air. My hair is still on end.

GN: Why First Avenue?

The people that work there are my friends and love my style of honest, affordable, rugged and loud dance music events. I love them back. I got my start at First Avenue and we are having ton's of fun. First Ave. supports some great independent dance music promoters in the TC and this show is the first time we have joined forces to create a super-club environment like they do in Europe and elsewhere. You can enjoy multiple styles of music, hang out with your friends, eat, drink and have fun all for one price. It is how it should be - the human experience is complex with a full spectrum of emotions and there is a style of EDM that will enhance, heal or harmonize with that feeling.

GN: Tell us about the sound system.

It will be one of the best walls we have ever done for a number of reasons: the technology of sound equipment has improved, and the technology of DJ equipment has improved. Less noise, more ooomph. It will be big and clean and magical. All the rooms will have fortified sound systems and the music that is programmed is bass-oriented music.

DROID.DIGITAL.03 // WAY I AM E.P. by Audio Injection

2010-02-02T13:49:00.000-08:00

RELEASED TODAY ON WWW.BEATPORT.COM:

DROID.DIGITAL.03 // WAY I AM E.P. by Audio Injection w/ remixes by Miro Pajic, Monoloc, Acid Circus and Rene Walther.

DIRECT LINK: https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/218770/Way%20I%20Am

OVERVIEW:

Droid presents Audio Injection’s long awaited release of THE WAY I AM via Droid Digital 03. Previously a DJ tool for Droid artists only,THE WAY I AM has perked the ears of international DJs, trainspotters, and hardcore fans alike for nearly a year now. For this release, Audio Injection, who’s garnered well deserved attention for his fierce and funky productions including hit singles and remixes on Droid, 4trak, CLR and Lazerslut, has hand-picked some of his favorite producers to provide their own treatments to his track’s undeniable groove and self-affirming vocal.

Audio Injection – The Way I Am (original mix)

The Way I Am – original flavor, the mix that started it all. This track is classic Audio Injection – a perfect blend of huge bass, swinging rhythms, and well timed vocal drops arranged to move crowds in any club situation.

Audio Injection – The Way I Am (Acid Circus Way IT IS mix)

Resident jack masters Acid Circus lock the original’s flowing modern thump in a tight box and throw away the key. The Way I Am finds itself in a machine-locked and analog fueled groove designed to snap necks.

Audio Injection – The Way I Am (Monoloc mix)

Monoloc turns out a dark and heavy builder for a massive crowd 30 stories below the Eastern Bloc.

Audio Injection – The Way I Am (Miro Pajic mix)

With the most unique-sounding mix on the EP, Miro Pajic sells a designer mind trip with haunting re-verb, eerie stereo effects, and an otherworldly vibes reminiscent of Spicelab’s Harthouse releases.

Audio Injection – The Way I Am (Rene Walther mix)

Rising Dominican talent Rene Walther re-sequences a faster, tougher dance floor version of the original. Less melody, More techno.

Timefog Night @ Soundbar: Zarbeat, M.Gervais, and James Patrick

2010-02-01T22:39:00.000-08:00

Zarbeat - Siteholder, Diffusion - Chicago

Raul Rodriguez was born and raised in the biggest city of the world, Mexico City, where he started as dj in local underground party’s back in 1996. Eventually he began to gain the experience necessary to take him to play along with national and international figures such as Paul Van Dyk, Hard Floor, Dj coccyx, Praga Kan,Martin Parra,Acid Maria,Infected Mushhrom,Dj Klang,Marusha,Green Velvet and the list goes on. He studied music and arts for a short period at the national school of art, right before he moved on to United States. Once in Chicago his new home he decides to retake his carrier not only as dj but as producer; focusing on a blend between hard techno and Minimal. Becoming one of the very few Mexicans in the scene his dj sets became more challenging and entertaining opening at people such as Monoblock (Archipel) Camea (Clink Recordings)Marcos Romero, Angel Alanis(clientele Records) ,Sashmouth,Itzone(Dirtybird ) and more. He went from two turntables to 3 and eventually 4 using samplers, digital hardware, and visual arts with the help of Lorena Padilla (Difusion Records C.E.O and Vj) o the . Raul invited few artists in the genre to be part of a new project called Difusion Records. This label focus on minimalistic sounds and arts that would be released digitally initially and physically in the near future. Zarbeat’s music can be consider as a party starter for his high content of beats and digital sequences crated and recreated live on the fly by himself. This Mexican on stage, as described by people, say he has been accepted by his public; and minimal masters consider him a passionate and true lover of non sense rhythms.
