MSTRKRFT and John Digweed to Carry Out Dance Fan Fantasies
Date: Wednesday, January 24 2007
Topic: DJ News

First annual Diamond tour pairs unlikely couple.

John Digweed's tech-inspired sets and the electro punk anthems of MSTRKRFT will hook up in March to create what organizers promise will be dance floor nirvana. March 1 begins the19-date major club appearances for the first ever 'DIAMONDS TOUR,' where the two distinct electronic musicians (along with special guests) plan to transform the club experience to something, producers say, fans have been searching for in a lineup.

Tour co-producer, Michael Gorman of Last Gang Promotions, said "the unique combination of JOHN DIGWEED and MSTRKRFT is something we had wanted to do for a long time and are thrilled to see it finally transpire". Looking for the most musically-charged bash of the year? Gorman thinks the need for something different on the club circuit is what inspired the DIAMONDS tour and he believes "These parties are destined to fulfill the fantasies of every dance music fan".

A tall order considering the average electronic music fan's appetite for inspiration, but DIAMONDS is off to a promising start. High profile club appearance are scheduled to dominate the spotlight throughout March 2007 at venues like Ruby Skye in San Francisco, Vanguard in Los Angeles, Blue in Atlanta and Pacha in New York. Music industry insiders will also have their shot at critiquing the unique pairing during SXSW in Austin (March 16 at SPIN) and the Winter Music Conference in Miami (March 20 at Pawn Shop).

AOL and Microsoft are wooing indie-rock fans to help solidify their digital music strategies. Corporations seeking indie cred are nothing new. But both bids come at critical times for the technology giants. AOL, in the midst of shifting from an Internet service provider model to an advertising-driven business, aims to expand its audience at the margins by stretching beyond the pop crowd with new programming aimed at hipsters. Microsoft, meanwhile, is trying to make inroads with its new Zune digital media player by winning over the same group of tastemakers that first embraced Apple Computer's iPod.

Death of the Record Label?

BT's Binary Universe

The line at the Inwood Theatre on Wednesday night stretched down the sidewalk; the poster of the movie everyone was waiting for showed a giant robot flying through a night sky that stretched into deep space.

What's this? Did a secret Star Wars installment slip into town for a sneak preview? No, this was better – much better. What 300-plus people were waiting for was the new project from BT (a.k.a. Brian Transeau), an experiment in sound and vision that is the film/album titled This Binary Universe. The electronic music pioneer, who has created a second career for himself composing and scoring for film and TV, was on hand to introduce the film and answer questions after the screening as part of five-city tour.

As the audience filed in, there he was to shake hands, autograph movie posters and CDs, pose for pictures and swap greetings; imagine an impossibly young and cool candidate for city council and you get the idea. "Your music changed my life" and "How was Tommy Lee to work with?" (BT worked with him on Rock Star: Supernova) were a couple of the comments he fielded.

He introduced the film – a collection of seven animated shorts, actually – with a brief description of how it came to be made.

"The film began as music and ended as seven short films. What you're going to see represents two years of really hard work."

Explaining that This Binary Universe was full of "new technologies," Mr. Tourneau described how the music contained "contrarian ideologies converging," noting that the song/short "All That Makes Us Human Continues" was written entirely in code, both the music and the animation.

If that begins to sound precious or pretentious, it was anything but. When the lights went down, and the sounds and sights came up, the effect was simultaneously stunning and stirring. That is, you were both frozen and fired up. The first piece, a creation out of two lines of code, melded echoing sounds with a screen filled with what looked like a shattered grid of spectral light. The music – faint at first, then building – sounded like a lost transmission floating through space. The animation, flickering and jumping, looked like the view through a fractured kaleidoscope. Through all the buzzing, static-y, mechanical sounds and broken, beautiful colors, you kept looking for something recognizably human. You'd catch a glimpse here and there – was that an arm, a closed eye, a lock of hair, a curled finger? – but who knows.

And so the movie(s) went: a giant robot insect gliding gracefully while a white dove flapped its wings in glitchy spastic flight while the sounds of metal and machines were laced through a jazz trio – piano, bass and drums – while elsewhere, a cute white rabbit with an orange fish head hopped merrily across a cartoon-colored countryside or an orchestra maneuvered in the computer-generated dark.

Through it all, what you saw and heard were the sights and sounds of man and machine coming together to create something strange and new and beautiful. Taken together, This Binary Universe came across as a seven-part promise that, indeed, all that makes us human will continue.

What's Next, Ramen Noodles?

What if making ramen were like playing guitars?

Last weekend I was sitting on a stool in Sapporo's famous "ramen alley" trying to decide what type of ramen dish to order for breakfast. I had just read an article in The New York Times reporting that the Recording Industry Association of America was threatening to sue websites that publish guitar music tablature, or tabs, alleging copyright infringement.

The article said that the RIAA considers tabs copyright-protected information. According to the recording industry, even incorrect tabs and tabs developed by users from listening to songs are its property as "derivative works."

I started thinking about what it would be like if there were an RIAA for ramen.

Transitions: Music: John Digweed

John Digweed has kept busy in recent years, with everything from remix records (like last year's Fabric 20 release) and Podcasts to collaborative projects with his Bedrock partner Nick Muir. Transitions is taken from his globally syndicated radio show of the same name, and is just the first in a promised series of discs. Digger's expansive approach to dance music has led him down both light (the Northern Exposure collaborations with Sasha) and dark (Global Underground: Los Angeles) paths, and while Transitions can be sparse, it’s mostly an up trip. The beats are exceedingly solid when they kick in, scattered with the DJ’s usual patience and dance floor sense. A welcome melodicism floats in and out of the mix, as Popnonname's "On The Run" winds around a kind hook while Rocco’s "Roots 4 Acid" goes for theatrics. There’s an airy feel to the record, mostly in the texture and tinges of electro on tracks like On Spec's "Knights of Columbus" with its wiry little bassline grabber. It could use a bit more variation; the thing ends just when the vibe really starts to settle in. A 2-cd set may have worked better, but that's more quibble than criticism. Enjoy. – Matthew Cooke

John Digweed, along with DJ partner Sasha, made ddance music history with the 1995 release of Mix Collection on the Renaissance label. This album is widely considered to be the first DJ mix album ever commercially released, and it set the standard for every DJ mix album that was to follow. 10 years later, John Digweed now returns to Renaissance with the release of Transitions. With the title taken from his globally syndicated radio show, the single disc project will be released as two volumes each year, a showcase of John’s inimitable sound and flawless mixing which has established him as one of the world’s most innovative DJs, firmly lodged amongst the upper echelons of the A-list. The album features the exclusive new Digweed track "Warung Beach."

Sony Music wants bloggers to promo videos, music

Sony BMG Music Entertainment wants to give bloggers free music and video--sort of.

The music conglomerate is promoting a new site, called Musicbox Video, that showcases videos, artist interviews, behind-the-scenes footage and other material from a broad portfolio of its artists. Want to see a film clip of Bruce Springsteen singing "The River" from the 1980 movie "No Nukes" or some clips from Franz Ferdinand? The site has it.

But Sony will also actively encourage fan sites and bloggers--who are mostly used to receiving cease-and-desist letters from studios--to link to the material. Links for adding Musicbox content are displayed on the site. Individuals thus could create sites focused around certain artists by linking to video channels on the Musicbox site dedicated to them, or link to several channels which, in the aggregate, comprise the most mawkish artists (in the view of the blogger) that Sony has to offer.

Faster KIll Pussycat - Paul Oakenfold

This summer, the girl that debuted as a teenage nerd ten years ago (Clueless), banged Eminem in a factory (in 8 Mile, not real life) and inhaled pounds of crystal meth (Spun...and it was baby laxative) is unleashing three movies: The Groomsmen, Love And Other Disasters and Happy Feet. But it's her vocal debut singing the lead single on Paul Oakenfold's new album that has her really hitting her strides. Finally.

It's "Mandy" vs the hotrods?

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Sick and tired of souped-up cars with loud engines and pulsing music? Barry Manilow may be the answer.

Officials in one Sydney district have decided to pipe the American crooner's music over loudspeakers in an attempt to rid streets and car parks of hooligans whose anti-social cars and loud music annoy residents and drive customers from businesses.

Following a successful experiment where Bing Crosby music was used to drive teenage loiterers out of an Australian shopping center several years ago, Rockdale councilors believe Manilow is so uncool it might just work.

Councilor Bill Saravinovski said local authorities plan to install a loudspeaker and pipe in Manilow music, interspersed with classical pieces, over a car park favored by car "hoons," or hooligans.

"There are restaurants nearby and people can't park in the car park because they're intimidated by these hoons," Saravinovski told The Daily Telegraph newspaper Monday.

"Daggy music is one way to make the hoons leave an area because they can't stand the music," he said. The Oxford Concise Australian Dictionary defines "daggy" as unfashionable, or lacking style, even eccentric or stupid.

Red Hot Chili Peppers angered by Net leak

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have lashed out at a music pirate who leaked the funk-rock band's upcoming album onto the Internet, and urged fans not to download it illegally.

The band's spokeswoman said on Wednesday the offender was being tracked down. The group's first studio album in four years, "Stadium Arcadium," is still on track to go on sale on Tuesday via Warner Music Group's Warner Bros. Records, she said.

In a rambling open letter, the band's bass player, Michael "Flea" Balzary, said he and his colleagues would be heartbroken if fans downloaded the album beforehand.

"For people to just steal a poor sound quality version of it for free because some a--hole stole it and put it on the internet is sad to me," he said.

World's First USB Turntable

The World's First USB Turntable
Topic: Things

Recording vinyl records onto your computer in order to turn them into MP3s or CDs isn't too hard if you have a record player, phono preamp or an amp with a Phono input right next to your computer, a high-quality audio input on your computer (I recommend the Griffin iMic), and a good amount of experience with recording software and noise reduction. OK, so maybe it's not so easy after all.

Those hankering for an easier or simpler way to record vinyl onto a computer (whether for digital listening or sample harvesting) now have a one-stop solution, the Ion Audio iTTUSB Turntable with USB Record. Plug this into your computer's USB port, read the short, simple tutorial on how to use the included open-source Audacity software, and you're up and running.

Although the iTTUSB isn't new (it was released late last year), it's not as commonplace as it should be by now, considering that vinyl is experiencing a resurgence in some crowds and there are millions of people out there with iPods who would probably like to import a record or two.

The stats are convincing as well:
• Adjustable Pitch Belt Drive Turntable
• Cartridge with Stylus
• 45 Adapter
• 33 1/3 and 45 RPM.
• 78 RPM conversion (via included software)
• Adjustable Anti-Skating control for increased stereo balancing
• High speed vinyl recording (wow!)

A Dunkin' Donuts ad for coffee addicts. By Seth Stevenson

The Spot: In one long take, the camera snakes through the bustling center of a small town, catching various blue-collar types in the midst of busy workdays. House painters, furniture movers, postal workers, tow-truck drivers—all of them are seen bopping around with various Dunkin' Donuts products in hand. Meanwhile, a singer on the soundtrack shouts, "Doing things is what I like to do!" The ad closes with a new slogan flashing on screen: "America Runs on Dunkin'." (Click here to see the ad.)

Stephen Schwartz, Vault’s musical director said the bar will push cutting-edge sounds, and host up and coming DJs. “Without setting boundaries, we strive to mirror and be a direct reflection of the constituents which comprise the East Village, the Lower East Side and the dance music scene in general,” he commented.
