RANDOMNESS: WHEN IS A DJ A REAL DJ??

DJ Tutor proposed this question and its been one that I've been tossing around in my head now and again. What I've been able to come up with is if you can keep a dance floor moving regardless of your tools your a DJ. Yes in the beginning Djs used was turntables. Fact. WHO THE FUCK CARES WHAT YOU USE NOW THIS IS THE FUTURE?!?! For fuck sake DJs were using reel to reel, tape decks, drum machines, and what have you long before the "dreaded" CD or MP3.

I personally feel this has all become a hot button issue with the "extinction" of the classic vinyl 12 inch. I put it in quotes because its far from being extinct, sure the 1200's were discontinued and finding vinyl tracks is becoming harder but thats just natural selection.

When vinyl sales were at their lowest that made my job as a DJ the most fun. Traveling all over the DMV hunting for new tunes, on the web, in back rooms or from the back of a car trunk. However this challenge put off a lot of people, so the instant gratification generation downloaded tunes that took me years to collect.

I don't hold a grudge because we are all DJ's, their collection is tangible and fits in their backpack, my collection is slowly taking over my modest studio. But we all love music. Plain. Simple. Done

RANDOMNESS: “feed the great machine” Internet good or bad?

While reading "I Mix What I Like!" by Jared Ball, I came across this paraphrase quote by Jaron Lanier. Lanier a seminal figure in computer and internet history also one of its largest critics

"…the web, [is] far from being some playing field leveler, is the perfect example of the “post-human society” where people must “feed the great machine” but only those who own or run that machine – not the people who create or who are themselves content – are to be paid. The rest of us are simply aggregated into “mobs” to be easily surveyed and marketed to by the same major corporations who determine our news and popular culture."
- Jaron Lanier

Then I found WillAM 580 (illinois Public Media) and their review of "You Are Not a Gadget" and interview with Jaron Lanier. [Listen Here]. Here he talks about the history pre & post internet and the history of MIDI. Lanier points out the youth of today has no idea as to the vast possibilities the internet could offer. Instead of remaining in this locked tinny "self enslaved" preconceived notion of what the web "is". However with this said its not to late for the youth to learn about the history of the web and how it works, their is still time change the tides.

Later Lanier talk about Ted Nelson the first person to conceive the idea of "linking", what makes Ted Nelson so important is his foresight into what the internet could become in 1960. Nelson was able to understand that if you made the internet into a huge copy machine (file sharing) then in turn it would just make everyone poor degrading the quality of life for all. If society only promotes the cultural, artistic and expression based parts of the web then you will have to work doubly hard in the physical world to make ends meat. In many ways the internet as we know it stifles the ability to live off your hart & your brain because of this ability to share thoughts without promoting or giving back to the creator. Nelson created & fought for a 3rd option: One account, per user & no copying. Here a user could buy and sell their content, products and ideas. However his critics were upset that he was projecting the use currency / commerce on the internet & my own thoughts that its a little big brother-ish. BA HA

Music is an interesting topic of conversation as Lanier is a musician himself. He points foul at musicians that claim that they are making a living off of giving away their music for free, noting that most of them are trust fund babies. He goes on to claim that the reason that music has not been able to progress is because musicians can no longer make a living as a musician solely.

This notion resonates with me as I'm ingesting to both the top 10 pop tunes (in America) & Drum & Bass tunes (from the UK). Both genres are over populated with blatantly sampled, checker bordered midi sequences and over quantized beats. Which only makes me dig deeper into the Jungle/Drum & Bass vinyl past. 10-20 years ago, producers were taking more chances, creating original content and developing rhythm tracks with dare I say it "soul". Why? Because at that time the UK Jungle/Drum & Bass scene had a set of testing gauntlets a track had to pass through. First you had to make a tunes you wanted invest in getting cut into a dub plate. Then it had to catch the attention of a DJ, who thought it would work in their set. Then it had to pass the dance floor test. If a tune passed threw all these tests then you either independently invested in it or you tried to get a label sign you. All of these limiting factors made the music published at that time a higher quality.

In contrast, today a DJ has to search though a flood of crap on the internet. Half baked ideas published to the web without that gauntlet of testing all in the hope of someone taking interest in your work.

…

Now the question: Has the internet actually helped the world we live in? Think about it for a bit before you comment.

FTA EVENT: [2.19.2012] SMACK IT! 2 @ Venue 112 in Virginia Beach

This is VA Pressure 1 year anniversary show! It has been so much fun throwing these events at Central 111 and Venue 112. Many more to come! (oh the following day is presidents day)

The line up!

TERRY MULLAN
Terry Mullan, Chicago's turntablist extraordinaire, turns out dance floors week after week throughout the US and abroad. Any true fan of House Music knows his name, and celebrates his amazing DJ sets. His credits include Coachella, Starscape, Bugged Out, The End, Footwork, and Ruby Skye amongst raves as far off as Japan, Australia and Germany. He has developed a faithful following to those who know through his signature style of funky quirky jacking acid house combined with cutting and scratching making up an entirely new genre all his own.

The eighties posed as the formative years of Terry's career. Although his roots began in hip-hop, he found himself smack in the middle of the Chicago house explosion. House and Disco were styles of music that were entirely new to Terry, but the match was struck. Soon after gaining inspiration from Chicago air personalities like Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, Fast Eddie, Armando, & Mike "Hitman" Wilson via 102.7 WBMX, Terry made house his home. Next, when acid house hit the US, the link was completed; Terry found the sound he was looking for. It was that added flavor he was waiting for, something new, twisted and forward. Now all the elements were coming together. And with the addition of the Detroit sound, this was it, three different languages, disco, house and techno. They could all translate the same message together or apart from one another. With his fluent style, these languages reflect his DJ'ing as well as the tracks he's now composing, which is his way of furthering the evolution of dance music.

For the future, Terry is going beyond just knowing his machines. This sound is put to the test on his releases on Robsoul, Definitive, Control, Funk'd, Chicago Housing Commission, Aciiieeed, and on his own imprint, Catalyst Recordings. Through his label he has released projects for the likes of DJ Sneak, Ian Pooley, Halo Varga, Mazi, Angel Alanis & TJR, as well as for himself under the monikers, Acid OG's, Speakerphreaker, Tone Broke, and as Serotonin project on Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva's former imprint Definitive which featured Terry's track "Sidewinder" on the Chemical Brothers "Brother's Gonna' Work It Out" Mix CD. Additionally, Terry gained notoriety for his records under the alias Speakerphreaker which includes the largely successful "Products Of Our Environment" EP, on Catalyst, which was featured on Pete Tong's essential selection on BBC Radio 1 in the UK, & "La Nina/Nickel Bag Da Funk" EP on Smile Records, which was licensed to several top DJ mix compilations. Terry's DJ'ing, label and tracks have earned him a reputation that extends worldwide. Never one to follow the masses, he borrowed from each genre to create what we all know to be Terry's sound, putting a bad ass twist on an otherwise conservative house scene. This man is truly a living legend.

Edward the Librarian: Drum & Bass - 10 Minute Mix: 001

NOTE:
This is not fully a 10 minute mix as the camera I was using to record it only allowed me to record for 7 minutes. But its my first attempt to make a 10 minute mix.

Why do a 10 minute mix? Well while trolling YouTube for cat videos I kept running it to these 10 minute mix videos. They have been around forever from what I can tell. Even DJ Tutor has a part of their site dedicated to 10 minute mix competitions [here]. So I was curious to see what all the fuss was about.

First off as someone that plays long format style a couple of hours at a time, 10 minutes is freakishly short. But 10 minutes is the goal so about 4 songs, the top of the evening / the climax of your set. Ok I think I've got this.



Tracklist:
MA2 (Kenny Ken & Mace Remix) - DJ SS
Lights Lock Off - Mickey Finn & Dub vs D.Bo General (Limited Edition Promo)
The Jungle - Sigma
Bunn The Sensi (Heretic Remix) - Top Cat

Well for the first go around it was not bad. A little weird juggling a video camera, a audio recorder and then Serato. But its all part of the new territory I guess. ba ha.

Respect to:
Friends & Family, VA Pressure, DJ Ravine, ellaskins & DJ Tutor, Ohio Hardcore, Headroom, Universal Groove, 3D Productions, TurnStyleOnline, WRIR FM, NOVA Massive & Junglist world wide.

Thanks for watching & happy Thanksgiving.

OTHER EVENTS: (Follow Up ) Aphrodite presented by 3D Productions At Ultra Bar

Before I talk about the event and how much fun it was. I want to take a second and recognize the power and the responsibility of the warm up DJ. As its an art and a craft all to its own with its own set of rules and nomenclatures. This is a note for both DJs and promoters alike.


DJ JUNGLE JESSIE & BLAZE ONE my hats off to you both. You rocked a solid classic ragga set. The tempo was good, the vibe was right, it looked like you has some technical issues but you both played them off well. I look forward to seeing you both play out again. It also helps that both of you were wicked nice and personable. Blaze One I hope you enjoy the demo I passed to you.

Props given. On to the main event...

The God Father of Jungle

♛ DJ Aphrodite ♛
aka Gavin King's career in DJing and production has spanned 16 years and under various guises, 'Godfather of jungle', 'King of the Beats' and more is responsible for introducing, entertaining and moving millions of Drum and Bass fans across the globe...

It was a friend of mind that commented "well we will see how the night goes he [Aphrodite] can be hit of miss".

That reminder took me down a notch and reminded me to never meet my hero's. BA HA. So when he dropped his first track and it was not what I expected in sound, style or tempo I just rolled with the punches. His set was new, upbeat with sprinkling reminders of the classic tunes we have all grown up with wrapped up in a Drumstep beat pattern. Any disappointment I (or anyone else) had is purely our own fault for now seeking out his newer recorded sets, this morning I spent a few hours checking out his new work. Its good but admittedly when I rolled to Ultra Bar last night, I kept Aphrodite in a time capsule of the mid to late 1990's. A friend of mine Mr. Rodgers once commented that "Drum & Bass is all about the future thats why he couldn't play old school tunes all night."

All and all, mad props to 3D Productions, Ultra Bar, Jungle Jessie, Blaze One, Kying of Thievez, & Aphrodite. It was a night I will not soon forget.

RANDOMNESS: Technics Official Statement... End of an Era

Well its not like i did not see this coming but its still pain full.

I got my first set of Technics 1200's in the summer of 1997, since then turntable has been the hart of my DJ medium of choice. Even when I started exploring Serato & Traktor I always used the turntable as a controller.

Oh well anyone selling their decks I may hord a pair for back up? LOL. No serious.

RANDOMNESS: Dub to Jungle 2011 Tour Documentary

Kane FM documented and captured the Dub to Jungle tour 2011; the film explores the living history of bass culture with interviews with Channel One Sound System, Congo Natty, Tenor Fly, Klose One, Nanci & Phoebe. We also speak with the stakeholder and Director of Punch Records Ammo Talwar and promoters about the concept behind the tour.

Roots reggae has been cited by many music critics of the 20th century as the mother of many modern music forms. Born from the garrisons of Jamaica this music has given a voice to disaffected peoples of all cultures and all backgrounds around the world. The messages of rebellion and truth seeking that roots provides struck a chord across the globe.

In the 1990′s artists like Ragga Twins, Rebel Mc & Lennie De Ice began to fuse roots reggae with acid house. Jungle techno, or as it was first called, 4beat, was born. Jungle is the child of reggae, conceived by the union of Jamaican sound system culture and British acid house music.

Director / Interviews -- Chris Jones / Producer -- Nick Hayman@ Burningwick / Elliot Seeds @ Motion Graphics / Sound Man -- Alpesh Patel / Camera -- Squeaky Clean, Sophie Akehurst, Ben Cornish.

FOLLOW UP: HEADZ: Friday Nov.4th. @ 9:30 Backstage Bar

LETS GO BACK TO THE FUTURE!



You can laugh all you like but thats what it felt like. Imagine being transported 10 plus years with a couple of friends, a bunch of strangers and some of the DC Jungle / DnB veterans. Mix in a small backbar with minimal lighting and Presto you have HEADZ.


Most of the night was dedicated to those old school tunes which only aided in the mental rewind of the times. Sure many of us were older showing some grey and have moved on from the party scene but as we all were rocking out and calling for the rewind, it acted as a reminder that we all have a shared foundation in a not to distant past.

Although you can never relive the past, Friday night acted as a reminder that we all have a role to play in the future of music. Matt Rodgers said it best "...we have to educate the people about where their music came from..." I could not agree more.

To all the DJ's that played DJK, Eternal, Psykofly, Quannum Logic, Harry Ransom, Locks, Stress & Matt Rogers (& MC Mecha). Thank you for reminding me of the amazing wealth of tunes that have come before. I found myself continually running over to the booth to remind myself who wrote a track or what the name of a particular tune was.

On that note Eternal posted up his set from that night! So if you did happen to miss it here is a blast from your past.

RANDOMNESS: Capital Ghost Story by Ill Omen

Image Source:[http://www.jhunewsletter.com]

Halloween ghost story for those who know: I am staying in DC for work this week. My company booked the hotel late in the game so I am little farther out from the convention center. I thought I recognized the area but it had been a while so I wasn't 100% sure since I came in from a different direction. I decided I wanted a McFlurry last night, since there was little else to satisfy my sweet tooth within walking distance. I exited the Hotel and walked past recently cleared lots and new business and apartment high rise buildings - and walked right past the ghost of Nation (aka Capitol Ballroom). Gave me a slight chill. I stopped for a bit and over the dull rush of nearby 395 traffic, I could hear people standing in 2 separate lines discussing the last time they had seen "DJ So-and-So". Exchanging urban rave legends and bragging about a new mixed tape. The sound of promoters handing out flyers and spreading the word about a nearby up and coming event. Bums asking for some "help" by offering to protect your car from possible vandalism. I caught glimpses of myself and groups of friends dressed to impress, intent on one-upping each other on the dance floor. I stood on that piece of sidewalk for almost 2 minutes before moving on. Best paranormal experience I have had in a looooooong time.

Juan Zapata of the East Coast Boogiemen

Everybody Loves Music | Odds and Ends | Amenti
If you don’t like the sound of the East Coast Boogiemen you probably don’t like House music or dance music for that matter. ECB are tops amongst D.C.’s musical artists. ECB’s music has appeared on CDs by Miguel Migs, Jay-J, DJ Heather, Mark Farina and Derrick Carter’s LIVE at OM. Juan Zapata has received critical praise across the globe for an innovative style of funky ass House music. He’s one of my all-time favorite acts, if not my favorite, from the D.C... Baltimore area. You got to see this guy throw down live.

OTHER EVENTS: Collecting and Curating African Music

Imaging South Africa: Collection Projects by Siemon Allen

August 27 – October 31, 2010
Virginia Commonwealth University | School of the Arts | Anderson Gallery
907 1/2 West Franklin Street, Richmond, VA 23284-2514



This exhibition offered the most comprehensive presentation to date of South African artist Siemon Allen’s “collection projects.” Over the last decade, Allen has created expansive installations of various mass-produced ephemera—postal stamps, newspapers, audio recordings—that he has methodically acquired and catalogued. In terms of process, he approaches each project like an archivist, researching and assembling artifacts to disclose underlying narratives about their production, dissemination, use, and message. Allen employs the social critique that inevitably arises from his work as a means of interrogating what he describes as “the contradictory and complex nature of South African identity.”

RANDOMNESS: dBridge in the Studio with Sera

SOURCE: [YouTube]

Now this is interesting. I run a label but I dj music not a medium. Its a good argument but listening to the Dub Step producers moan about "toppy" sounding CD and MP3 keeps me thinking.

RANDOMNESS: Red Bull Music Academy with MARCUS INTALEX

"Hailing from Burnley near Manchester, Marcus Intalex was on the spot when dance culture blew up at the Hacienda. Since then he's journeyed to bass extremes, been through the vaults of Detroit techno, and got to the essence of flavourful drum 'n' bass. His love of finding new music, and new old music, has served him well as a producer (solo and with projects such as M.I.S.T); as a record label head (Soul:R and Intalex Productions), and as a DJ. His advice? Even when hyping up the dancefloor, you should try to explore new territory, outside of safe & cosy genre definitions."

RANDOMNESS: Red Bull Music Academy with DBRIDGE

"When you meet him in daylight D-Bridge is a laidback and calm fellow. But at night he turns out to be the producer of the grittiest and grimiest tunes in drum 'n' bass. Based in London, D-Bridge has literally helped to give birth to to the scene with a couple of seminal jungle classics. At the legendary Metalheadz sessions he learned to appreciate the best of both worlds: energy through bass. As a pioneer who has shaped the course of drum 'n' bass, he lays out his precise views on the up’s and down’s of the scene. Luckily D-Bridge is not one of the many drum 'n' bass artists who flirted with the mainstream, fell off and has since never been seen again. Instead he stayed true to the music as the drum 'n' Bass scene changed into more diverse directions."

RANDOMNESS: Red Bull Music Academy with Zinc

"DJ Zinc may have named himself after a mineral, but he's always got lots of gems to share. Swept away by the acid house movement as a teen, Zinc rose to fame as a top DJ and producer from the advent of drum 'n' bass, and it's a position he has yet to relinquish. A globetrotting selecta and renowned producer via his own Bingo label, he watched the d 'n' b genre evolve from its house and old-school gene pool, grow through its ragga and hip hop-inflected phases, to the now-tangled web of styles that is today's bass music. As part of Ganja Kru (Parousia), he rolls with like-minded renegades Rude Bwoy Monty, DJ Hype and Pascal. He also bangs it out in collaboration with Dope Skillz on Hype's True Playaz imprint. Ever the innovator, Zinc toyed with tension with his LP Faster, a blazing LP which accelerated in bpm's with each track. He's also responsible for the Crack House parties, twisting his style to explore raw funky templates. Also a vital player in dubstep's continued march on the mainstream, when the beats roll like dis, you really have to Zinc on your feet!"

Source [www.redbullmusicacademy.com]

RANDOMNESS: Red Bull Music Academy with Fabio

"If you want to know about the drum and the bass, listen to Mr. Fabio. Having broken through in the late '80s playing funk and rare groove on London pirate station Phase One, he was somewhere towards the centre of pretty much any new movement in British electronic music for nearly a decade after. Popularising the super smooth liquid funk genre, the likes of Calibre and High Contrast must surely remember to send him a card every christmas. Anyone who listens to his weekly Radio 1 show with buddy Grooverider knows he hasn't got that husky a voice, yet he's still considered 'The Godfather'. Go figure."

Turnstyle: Indie Records in Richmond

"Sure, the First Fridays Art Walk was beginning to give the area a boost, but an independent record store catering to techno, house, jungle, break beats, drum and bass and all things electronic music in this particular neighborhood in downtown Richmond—are you kidding me?"
