umm clonk events are not full of cracker ass ravers... with bad hair and dirty pant legs...
;)

yeah well what richie needs is a new publisits who will tell him "your marketing your self to much like sven now go back to canada and find your self again dorky"...
;)

why dont you check the events section or the calander...
if its techno on a small scale your looking for clonk will be starting up throwing events this year again with a number of local and out of town showcases....
more info to follow in the new year...
(keep your fingers crossed)

baldng well Im 36 all 36 year old guys are starting to loose it...
;)
but I mean at least I dont flunt it by covering it up with a hair peice, implants or a fucking comb over like other techno shnooks do...
here take a look:

or

hey where is all the info for this producing comp I want in... you all know me for my 4 on the floor minimal dubby techno and microhouse but I secretly make some broken beats and dNb
:)

funny I did the same Ive moved away multiple times to different candain cities, different countries I still always find my way back here...
:)
I dont know if its the best place on earth but its pretty good...
Im still slightly convinced that toronto might be a better place then montreal...just becasue of its size and economic situation compared to us...ot allows for more stuff to happen...

yeah it totally sucked the person knew exactly what they were looking for they didnt even make a mess they took my front door off its hindges, walked in took all that gear and a number of other things put the door back on made it look like it wasnt fucked with (untill I got home and tried to open my front door and it fell off its hindges I was like wtf???)
then when I went into my studio I was like holy fuck! any how the cops were the best its useless for us to even look for it the guy probally sold it all already... I was like ok so I made the report so I can claim insuence and they came back to me and said sorry about things like the adat, the dat machine, the mic and a few other items that were not your typical consumer electronic goods....
:(

I guess you never have been robbed and have never tried to claim for stolen stuff...
its nearly impossible
when I got my my a-dat, a portable tascam dat, a mini dv, and a pro akg mike (I forget the model) stolen my insurence company came to me saying well this sort of equipemtn is used for professional musicans you didnt have insurence for a buisness in your apartment tough luck...
make sure you have either buisness level insutrence in your home or that you have spcified with your insurence company that you use this strickly for non professional reasons for hobby and that they can not find any money made from it...then your good other wise...
your
screwed... like I was...

as good of an idea this is dont you think its an open invite for folks to know what you have thats worth taking????

what ever fuck off at least I didnt get hair implants... Im loosing my hair and at least Im going to bald gracefully and not look like a twit... white contacts what a fuckwit...
ugly...

souless in the sence that its made with heart its not cold... warm deep music... is what Im talking about...

I think he means [ www.techno.ca ]
but the links have been all broken for months now Ive been tring to jeff the admin to fix it now for months... as all the sub sites are still work like
[ www.techno.ca ]
[ www.techno.ca ]
[ www.techno.ca ]
[ www.techno.ca ]
[ www.techno.ca ]
but for some reason the [ techno.ca ] project has taken a back seat for jeff....
which is acctualyl why I now have time so that I can help noah out by being a moderator for ravewave... and not [ techno.ca ]
:)

no I would just rather see hard techno artists like regis, sergeon, richard harvey, geatek then artists that I have seen befor whom didnt move me in the slightest... I feel the same way about aritsts the minimal artists some of them have blown me away and some who left me feeling limp :)
its important to realise that just becasue someone has a good record out or a good mix out that this does not mean quality...
to me rush was lame... there s nothing worse then soleless, funkless, meaningless hard for the sake of being hard techno at that point it becomes simply a 909 kick and some other sounds boring... hey Ive felt this same feeling about some of the largest names in techno so dont get me wrong there is a reason why Ill never go see richie or jeff mills play again they just disspointed me once to many times over...

they are nearly impossible to get in this city...
:(
makes me want to cry some times....
;)

yeah I have to agree venom is rave music he sucks and like Is aid I dont even think he plays out any more...
as for rush and j heil and j dehnem
all 3 have played when i was living in torotno and all 3 didnt really leave me very happy at all to be honest with you...

alrighty then I cna simply move this thread to breaks then if your all that unhappy with it being in here... man oh man...

not that I know of but its some thing I have talked about with the folks at the sat about a few tiems so maybe there might be a clonk presents at the sat for this tour... but I cant promiss any thing yet...

whoa there nelly...
;)
not all garage sucks...
I mean uk garage is not really my cuppa tea how ever nyc garage house and the scenes that followed suit like the one in chicago, toronto and the one in mtl (the therepy crew) are all doing some really good things in fact some really great things I mean look at nick holder's garage 416 crew they are doing some great things, the therepy crew here wit jojo flores in mtl is also doing some important things in the world of nyc garage house
but if its uk garage, 2 step or speed garage that your talking about hummm I think that the music style has a long way to go yet in terms of really comming in to its own... as a style and as a result there is a lot of bad uk garage/2step/speed garage out there... maybe one day it will be some thing great as I do hear the potential for some thing interesting if all the cheesyness would go away from it...

dub is not nessarly about a beat its about feeling and air dub was the first if the ambient musics...befor ambient was coined ambient...
dub is an attitude if you will and is not about the beat but about all the ambience that occurs around the beat the textures....
thats what dub is about...
the reggea beat means nothing and lee scratch perry, adrian sherwood and countless others has taken the time to show us that though countless great dub releases...
that did not focus on the beat...

umm Im not having a shit fit Im makign apoint so what kind of responce do you think I would get if I posted about the new jeff mills purpose maker record in the hardcore forum...
it would be for the most part ignored...
also being a moderator like my self... how about messageing me private like and disscussing it with me that way rather then acting like some sort of animal tring to show thier red crest...
get what I mean?

hun....
I said I belive that hes living with his granny now becasue its been since last april that we had a good old sit down and chit chat... he might be livng in a cardboard box now for all I know... ;)
hahahah
jeff milliagan living in a cardboard box:
"man this sucks when i throw my records around they dont break they bounce off the walls" ;)
hahahaha
(if you have ever seen jeff milligan play you know what Im talking about... now temper temper...
;)

why is that?

oh yeah so i was sying my definition of ambient and dub means no beats or barely audable beats and thinner releases have very audable beats... I mean if your gonna throw thinner releases in to ambient then you might as well throw that arial b info I posted in to techno into ambient... lets face it thinner relases are for the dance floor and not beatless there for dance floor oriented music is not ambient... so if you change your mind let me know and Ill throw it back into techno/house as Im sure the folks in ambient are not overly interested in thinner releases like the folks into techno or house...

yeah there is more then one problem throwing an event during mutek...
and that one is the smallest of problems....
but yeah jeff moved back to toronto I belive he lives with his granny now up near eglington
at least thats what he said to em last time we spoke....

yeah piehead has us both signed to them for a release matmos released material on piehead under vague terraine and I under my naw name....
bugz in the attic are pretty cool... why do you ask?

try telling the guyd from thinner that thier music is ambient and youll get flammed so hard from the responce that your eye brows will be singed through your monitor... seriously thinner is dance floor oriented music ....
why do you think they signed me and have mateo murphy, pheek, eloi, dick richards and the rest of the unsigned to force inc minimal techno camp signed to thinner from canada...
I dont know man I really think this is again a matter of defination... when noah and I talked about ambient/dub as a section what i was talking about was not to lump dub techno in with the ambient stuff but rather dub as an ambient genera as it is traditionally refered to in music theory thought. any how you want it in this forum leave it here but honestly youll get much more responce to your thread about thinner releases in the techno/house fourm... to each thier own I guess...

[ 216.239.57.104 ]

I know Im happy to play ... for this one...
Ill have a fresh new full length record released that month so Ill be in tip top techno shape for giging... :)

dude wrong fourm for thsi thread but heres your answer cool edit should allow you to do this...
and on a mac its peak... bothw ill convert RM files...

yeah I am super proud to be signed to the same lable as they are... I met them the first tiem I played in SAN FRAN in 2000 sutekh interduced me to them, 2 hours later they were whipping up a storm of music fuck it was sweet...

but this is not ambient its dubby techno Im moving this thread to techno sorry...

soft pink truth are amazing they are actually one half of matmos with some friends from the SF bay area. thier vanity 6 cover is awesome... but I dont know if I would call what they do so much eletro as it is electro or 80s synth booty pop influnced... their full length record is amazing ... you can find most of the matmos material around its equllay interesting more on the techno/house and idm tip.... but the best material by these guys comes as vague terraine on piehead records its all thier gay porn sound tracks amazing stuff... on note matmos are the guys behind bjorks music on her last few records which is how soft pink truth got the remix.... :)

yeah your right another dbp record would suck Im sure

heres some good news for the new year

Techno dj/producer Aril Brikha will be releasing a new album consisting of 7 to 10 new tracks on Derrick May's Transmat label in 2004. The 25 year old Iranian born, Swedish based impresario's career took off when he sent demos to out-of-state labels including Derrick May who immediately snatched 'The Art of Vengeance' EP and was playing the 'Groove-La Chord' track everywhere.
Brikha was influenced by europoppers Depeche Mode, Front 242 and Jean Michel Jarre as well as the futuristic sounds of Robert Hood and Underground Resistance. 'Groove-La Chord' has been featured on compilations like Body & Soul NYC Volume 3 (Wave Music) and Mixer Presents Slam in America (DMC Publishing) appealing to both techno and house DJs.

Brikha's last album entitled 'Deeparture in Time' was also released on Transmat. One of Aril's new and unreleased tracks has recently been featured on Singapore's club Zouk 'Rhythm1' compilation, mixed by its resident DJs Aldrin Queck and Jeremy Boon. Aril Brikha has played live at Detroit's DEMF as well as London's Fabric and will start off the new year with a tour in Canada and then Asia towards the end of March.

I think we needa fishead 20th cent remix mix...
;)

what hip hop djs suck my left wang dong to be honest with you turntablism interests me some what... but not even from a hip hop perpective...
hip hop in a club setting for me never really did it for me just like indie rock... its more like a type of music I like to listen to when Im hanging around the house or on long car trips...I have yet to see a good hip hop act or artist live...
well thats not true public enemy and boogie down productions were awesome live but that was part of a generation of hip hop that had a whole othe bent to it today its all about t and a, cars, parting, and hows hardest... fuck that shit is boring...and definatly not any thing that any artist could stand on for any length of time....
I think missy elliot had it donw perfect with her vibe on the under construction record but she lost it again all the glitz and glory is gone to her head like all the rest of the current generation of hip artists...
well for the most part of course ...
I mean like look what happend to snoop dogg hes looking like a gutter rat these days... not to mention when was the last time that dirt bag put out a solo record again???
dont get me wrong there are still great artists out there like
mos def
hi-tek
tailb kweli
black star (def and kweli together)
roots manouva
push button objects
there are others... but yeah I agree hip hop culture is not what it used to be about...
in fact its the one music forum that I always will say bring back the old school vibe for I hate saying it as we should always stribe for some new and better learning from the past but what I would give for a new BDP record...

well to each thier own some of us like what he dd and found it interssting interms of an educational session and some of us hated it what ever dude..... I dont think the guy is a tunrtableist of that is what you were expecting he is simply a dj no tricks up his sleve...

yeah mtl electro is a great site!!!

not he came to exit I was there it was off the hook...
too bad exit is such a whack place and all the guys there were like rosters looking for a lay... or protecting thier chickens it was stupidly mucho crowd

ricky bionix (techno/electro)
