Ten years ago, large-scale 'super' events would have relied on one or two big name internationals, with the other slots filled by local DJs. But as the number of tour-dependent internationals has skyrocketed, greater and greater numbers of interstates and internationals are corralled into one event. Here, dance music has pulled a Walmart; everyone is sheltering under the umbrella of scale: promoters distribute risk by diversifying their portfolio and increasing their own profile by marketing the whole she-bang as a branded lifestyle event (and appear to be doing quite well, thank you very much); ex production-based artists receive the income they would formerly have received from producing; while audiences addicted to names, brands and spectacles increasingly reluctant to go out (but for the appearance of their favourite international producer/DJ) now happily fork over a three figure sum on the prospect of seeing him or her—and a few other artists they're kinda keen on.<br /><br />Big box events like this have come to represent "good value" for punters, promoters and producers, and they've been very lucrative for the X Van Ys of this world, but they show in miniature how networked computing has destroyed the profitability of electronic music production, undermined the local DJ scene and forced dance music to become almost completely dependent on practices that are profitable because of affordable civil aviation; they're are also, for the same reasons, disproportionately environmentally destructive and ultimately unsustainable.<br /><br />The dominance of this model as the profitable one, and the thorough un-profitability of electronic music that is exploratory, ambient, dissonant or in anyway incompatible with dancing (pushing it from a cottage industry to a closet industry) has meant that many producers who formerly could have scraped a measly living out of non-standard music have been forced to either adapt to the big box, surrender any hope of profit, or shelter in academia and government-subsidised sound art scenes—notice the evaporation of chill out rooms and the other small niches that supported those wee spaces for weird music. If you're a producer and you like both modes of music and are good at making 'em, this mightn't matter to you much. But if you are an electronica savant with dubious social skills, no interest in live appearances and a hatred of flying, sunglasses or VIP lanyards, you'll have some tough knobs to chew on, in your ample spare time.<br /><br />Local DJs—those who don't produce—now find it more and more difficult to get high quality gigs, missing out on opportunities to build their profile without recourse to production. In all but a handful of cities (Berlin, London, New York), this has hollowed out the local scene, driven the over-production of mediocre tracks and labels, and forced a lot of talented people who are exclusively DJs to look for other work. These are sociological issues to ponder and questions of personal life choices for DJs and producers, but they pale in comparison to the third factor, the environmental question.<br /></blockquote><br /><br />Thoughts on this forthcoming.

Was considering purchasing a copy on Discogs when I realized that I already have the record - for some reason I overlooked this song in a big way, or it's just been that long since I've picked it up that I completely forgot about it. Either way, this seems to happen to me a lot, and it's annoying - I would have totally brought this with me to Phyllis' on Sunday and played it like five times, just like I wanted to do (but ultimately didn't) with "<a href="http://hissnlissn.blogspot.com/2009/04/s-s-single-bed.html">S-S-S-Single Bed</a>."<br /><br />Speaking of Phyllis', here are some lists. <br /><br />Tracks I did play: Liars, "<a href="http://www.discogs.com/Liars-Theres-Always-Room-On-The-Broom/release/297870">Broom</a>"; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeZba3q8624">some Will Oldham song that's way better on Youtube/the radio than it is in studio</a>; Imagination, "<a href="http://clone.nl/item10907.html">Just an Illusion (Lindstrøm Vocal Edit)</a>"; the whole 9+ minutes of Neil Young's version of "Down by the River"; "Jeepster"; "Dead Souls" (<span style="font-style:italic;">Still </span>version); and I can't recall what else, but not much, really. <br /><br />Things I wanted to play but didn't / forgot to: "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYDzVklFQRk">Seen All Good People</a>";

I know what they say about glass houses and all, but still...<br /><br />The North, where computers are apparently taking over the world, and the East, where humans are becoming slaves to their creations, sound like they're having similar issues, computers being man-made and all.<br />What, in fact, are the people in the South running from? A bit of detail would go a long way toward securing my credulity, Devil Man.<br />And I guess the big issue here is, do we, as Westerners, have to look forward to other than a choice? I'm going to go ahead and assume that whatever we choose, we'll ultimately end up opting for "shut up and dance," but I wonder why this apparent world-wide plague has yet to reach an entire quadrant of the globe.Kartsaklishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15988686395763345754noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378172695329371002.post-37757941353235400732009-04-15T01:40:00.005-05:002009-04-15T01:49:27.875-05:00DANCE WITH THE DEVIL<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IIe23Q8Yd-c&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IIe23Q8Yd-c&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Four notes about this:<br /><br />1. Do you ever get the feeling, when telling someone who's not "down," that you're into / dj techno, that this is among their immediate associations with the term? For me it's either this or "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmin5WkOuPw">Firestarter</a>."<br /><br />2. Best comment:<br /><blockquote><div class="watch-comment-head"> <div class="watch-comment-info"> <a class="watch-comment-auth" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/52772" rel="nofollow">52772</a> <span class="watch-comment-time"> (4 hours ago)</span><a id="hide_link_2_7xnm-3Vm8" class="watch-comment-head-link" onclick="displayShowCommentLink('2_7xnm-3Vm8')"></a> </div></div> <div class="watch-comment-body"> <div> I will rather hear gothic music!</div></div></blockquote>3. The video is under four minutes. That's quite an elaborate stage setup for a four minute song. Do you think D-Devils had other songs that they played at this show, or was it just "Dance With The Devil" and <span style="font-style: italic;">fin</span>.<br /><br />4. What do you think these guys are doing now? Any chance they had something to do with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZfolwkZ26k">Dubfire's remix</a> of "Grindhouse Tool?"<br /><br />(BONUS INSIDE JOKE)<br />5. I laughed not because I remember this song from the ads on B96 for haunted houses in Joliet, but because my initial thought was of Snooch.Kartsaklishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15988686395763345754noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378172695329371002.post-65616569896403376122009-04-13T18:25:00.002-05:002009-04-13T18:35:04.733-05:00MAIL CALLMy copy of <a href="http://hissnlissn.blogspot.com/2009/04/pepe-bradock-grand-brules-choir-deep.html">"Deep Burnt"</a> arrived in the mail today. Thanks to my landlord for accepting the package - Logan Square P.O. is a drag. Sucks for him, though - I'm playing the track as I type this with all the faders pushed to the hilt, and my landlord lives downstairs. <br /><br />Other records that arrived:<br /><br />Others, "Take 1 / Take 2" [<a href="http://www.discogs.com/Others-Take-1-Take-2/release/1533300">Musique Risquee</a>]<br />Jichael Mackson, "Baff" [<a href="http://www.discogs.com/Jichael-Mackson-Baff/release/1167601">Hartchef Discos</a>]<br />Minimono / Markus Fix, "Sweet Murmur / House in the House" [<a href="http://www.discogs.com/Minimono-Markus-Fix-Sweet-Murmur-House-In-The-House/release/1330278">Love Letters from Oslo</a>]<br />V/A, "Exchange Place" [<a href="http://www.discogs.com/Various-Exchange-Place/release/1281990">Strength Music</a>] (in my most humble opinion, easily one of the most overlooked records of 2008 - two tracks feature prominently in tite mixes from last year, Steffi's RA podcast and Norman Nodge's mnml ssgs set, but I don't recall reading much about the record, label, or artists beyond that. I could just be ign'ant, though - this is very likely.) <br /><br />Waiting on:<br /><br />Woods 7" from <a href="http://www.discogs.com/Woods-Woods/release/1720235">Captured Tracks</a>.

MEIER @ LAVA 13.02.09Bit of a "future classic" here. Knew I was hearing something amazing at the time (warmup for <a href="http://www.myspace.com/2562dub">2562</a>) but honestly didn't expect it to be 1. recorded and 2. caned for months after the recording was made available. It's well deserved, and I hope anyone who has a chance to hear it, does, which is why I'm posting it here.<br /><br />A few things I could go on and on about but won't, rather illustrating in brief: "bridging the gap"; the fact that this sets was done up on laptops, using Ableton, and how Pietro + Meier use the software to their advantage; how the setlist here illustrates "where we're at" in 2009, past + future classics.<br /><br />Pietro + Meier join forces again <a href="http://www.sonotheque.net/archives/000860.php">this Tuesday @ Sonotheque</a>, another 2 hour set warming up this time for <a href="http://www.hyperdub.com/">Kode 9</a>.

Must have been longer than that...). Setlist forthcoming - my records are still in the car. Wish I had more to say about it other than, yeah, sure feels good to play on functioning decks. Cafe Lura also made some huge upgrades to their soundsystem, likely for the dubstep boys / weekend junglists, but we'll definitely take it - nice to see that they're taking the place seriously (as opposed to some other places I've played - looking at you, Tumbao).<br /><br />Eric is on to some, as we say, "out shit" lately. Anxiously awaiting his latest, and also hoping he can filter through some of the <a href="http://mutant-sounds.blogspot.com/">Mutant Sounds</a> stuff for me, as I think I'm going to have my hands full (if/when it arrives) with a bunch of new records. Also received a disc of material dated 1991-1993 by a mutual acquaintance/neighbor, John of Shifty Science. Met him at the 25+25 party and was very excited to hear that he had this archive of tracks. The actual sounds have thus far totally surpassed my expectations (which were high to begin with) and when he says that he might be "getting the band back together" I seriously hope this is true. May be able to share some stuff with (all 2 of) you in the future.Kartsaklishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15988686395763345754noreply@blogger.com0
