  Yes, it’s a post about Richie Hawtin (sort of)

  08.05.09 | Permalink | 17 Comments

  Today on the Plastikman website an interesting posting was made. It seems that Mr Hawtin is about to return back to his Plastikman guise for a series of shows and some re-releases of old material. Personally speaking i think Hawtin’s Plastikman work is his finest and was one of the entry points for me into [...]

  Life Has No Narrative

  One of the reasons I started this here blog was my dissatisfaction with the existing dance music media. Possibly the most annoying music critic trend in general (and one that has really gotten on my nerves more and more from reading the critic-heavy I Love Music forum [warning, only go there if you want to [...]

  Love Don’t Pay the Rent

  Sometimes it can be easy for us to forget that the musicians and DJs that we see in clubs are real humanoids with normal, everyday lives. All we see are the parts of their lives that revolve around music. And it’s always interesting to find out that these musicians, who can seem like celebrities when [...]

  Questionable

  I saw this video on Philip Sherburne’s blog yesterday, and let’s just say that it rubbed me the wrong way. This isn’t meant to diss Mr. Sherburne, though he obviously has ties to the people making this “documentary”, but what a steaming pile of horseshit. That guy talking about finding someone to bring techno “legitimacy” [...]

  As I have noted here before, school has been killing me for the last month. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will be graduating in just under two weeks which means I will finally have time to getting around to all the ISM things I have had in the works. In the meantime, I have only [...]

  So yeah, my spring break trip to Chicago may or may not have resembled the above picture, I’ll leave that to you to figure out. On the real though, I had a good time chilling with my boy Noleian Reusse and crew at Transamoeba Studios. I’m gonna do a full post on the trip where [...]

  Numbers (aka Welcome New Readers)

  When ISM started, I honestly had no idea how many people would even care. I didn’t have Site Meter installed from the jump off, so I can’t say exactly how many people viewed us in the first couple weeks of our existence. Since the Omar-S interview was up our first day, I imagine nearly all [...]

  More on Omar-S

  02.20.09 | Permalink | 9 Comments

  The recent Omar-S interview I did for RA kicked up a good bit of dirt all over the interwebs dance discussion areas. The comments on the interview itself are pretty widely varied, with plenty of the kind of moronic reaction you would expect from people who can’t stand to hear something that comes from outside [...]

  techno as composition-the antidote to the “soul-less” charge

  02.18.09 | Permalink | 28 Comments

  Aside from the question of aesthetics and personal preference, few casual listeners realize that techno, unlike its more straightforward verse-chorus-verse-structured musical peers, does not rely on a recording of a performance, but on a recording of sound directly from the sheets of musical notation, as MIDI data performs the function of sheet music, in the [...]
