yeah, i think the term 'electrohouse' is largely a dance scene-generated attempt to rehabilitate the 'electroclash' thing.... 'electroclash' rarely had anything to do w/ electro, as well... really...'house', 'techno', and 'electro' have all become very debased terms... often totally...

most of i-f's mixes are crucial...there's a lot of other good mixes on the cbs page, too...(any of intergalactic gary's mixes, the lawrence sim mixes....) while on the dutch italo/electro tip, don't forget dj TLR. a lot of people chalk him up to being merely an i-f clone, but he's got some very...

i agree on the clone/viewlexx/bunker/creme/pigna tip. while it's nothing REALLY new or exciting, they manage to synthesize their influences into something that sounds sort of fresh (while avoiding the lame clubby dancefloor tropes that most recent electrohouse stuff relies on). and it's still a...

for better or worse, thats true....at the very least, she's marketed as such here. i really don't know a thing about grime, personally.

some of my friends went to see lady sov last night at the knitting factory - here in the states, apparently grime summons nothing but music critics, internet nerds, and nyu students....

http://www.cybernetic-broadcasting.net is my fav. italo/electro/minimal synth/house/ambient/soundtrack stuff...it's run by i-f and company. http://www.eastvillageradio.com is sometimes good...

as far as black leotard front & italo, the record reminds me a lot of celso valli's productions (tantra, azoto, etc etc etc)...definitely one of the pioneers of dubby, trippy disco. i'm glad they look like they're from 1972. ...

juan maclean is definitely one of the more palatable dfa acts. the new albums not bad. the remix double pack of 'tito's way' is actually quite good, too, particularly the reverse 68 mix and the lindstrom mix...really dreamy space disco, w/o too much of the lame dfa post-punk-posturing...

i know oliver chesler and gang have a big thing for dirk ivens, who's pretty err...hit or miss in my books.... i like how techno and hardcore have taken more influences from ebm in the past few years, especially post-electroclash...chesler, terence fixmer, thomas heckmann, david caretta's...

i'm not familiar with the industrial trauma record, but the one freak did for epiteth was pretty good. there's definitely some crossover between the noisecore and powernoise scenes, agreed. the powernoise scene also has some tragic crossover with the neo-ebm scene. i feel like people into...

hypnoskull, converter, winterkalte, imminent starvation, etc are from a different branch than the fischkopf/hangars liquides avantgabber/noisecore sound...(btw, i always felt dj freak was really overrated...relentlessly pounding and monotonous, without the transcendent qualities...like really...

as fas as canonical early 21st century music, i'd rank timbaland and the neptunes right at the top. they've had more impact on pop music and countless niche facets of 'underground music' than basically everyone else put together.

was actually just listening to nash the slash's 'decomposing' ep, which is meant to be played on any speed. only sounds good on 45, tho.

i know 've got some old french/german speedcore records that would have 33/45/78 written on the label...and yeah, lots of noise stuff suggests playing at any speed. sort of related is that nomex record on adverse that's a recording of him playing a record (i actually think it was an autechre...

and yeah - right next to car commercials, videogames have been one of the best ways for electronic musicians to earn some quick $$$ in the past 10 years...

apologies if i went off topic, the article touched a nerve. rockstar always does a good job with their soundtracks, tho, and recent submerge material would probably work pretty well in a racing game, especially stuff from the motech or electrofunk catalog...while some of it might be a bit mature...

i have very mixed feelings about how the UR sound (and the detroit sound at large) has matured over the years... while the increased exposure is good, i feel like the sound has become increasingly compromised - and the incorporation of world music/jazz fusion is a pretty embarassing stab at...

sputnik is on my block. it's a nice bar, very cold war-chic. decent food, ok drink prices... the pa is pretty good, tho the music actually tends to be a little too loud there.. i'll try to check this out, bring a few kids...

is that the same ron d core that used to spin gabber and speedcore?

both the audion releases on spectral are killer! by far the best stuff i've heard on the label... we need more warbly neo-mentasm! i've enjoyed the recent few speicher records. the earlier ones are more hit or miss, but the last 3-4 straight have been pretty solid, imo...
