    Richie Hawtin DE9: Transitions

    i picked this up today. it is halloween and watching the dvd of hawtin's head rotating 360 degrees with that awful haircut is something quite similar to a horror movie, but on the up side it really is a masterpiece. its a continuation of his 'pushing the boundaries' of techno decks/effects...

    Bands/Artists with a PERFECT SOUND

    Cloud One patrick adams is the obvious brains behind cloud one's untouchable, floating, smooth sound. i LOVE their sound. i can't get enough of it. there is nothing wrong with the instrumentation on atmosphere strut or spaced out. the instruments 100% compliment each other...

    Minimalism in Hip Hop

    When people with "Normal Music Taste" ask you what you listen to...

    how do you generally respond to this? I know this seems a bit rude and very stereotypical and is perhaps somewhat stupid but i am just getting tired of trying to explain my music taste to the average punter at uni who is trying to talk about the velvet revolver record etc etc. Previously i...

    DJ Godfather (re: ghetto-tech)

    Is DJ Godfather pretty much the best 'ghetto-tech' dude out there? I feel like i am missing something. Most other stuff i hear (mainly other stuff on the Databass label) doesn't really bounce as well as godfather. Help me out if you decide me ignorant.

    Space Music

    I am curious on 1978-82' music that was inspired by space and all that stuff. I really like music that has to do with space (Sun Ra, Afrika Bambaataa, being obivous examples) but i am looking for more of the Italo-disco/Space disco grouping of it, especially french artists. I know this is all...
