June 2006 Archives

Carl Taylor started off with a remix of a Laurent Garnier track. Which you have to admit is a pretty good start -- whether you like LG or not. Since that release back in 2000 he's been steadily plugging away and has accumulated a small handful of records with his name on them.

Ever the friendly chap, Carl has opened the doors on three of his tracks for anyone and everyone to remix. "Twister", "Bang The Box" and "Voyager" all appear on either Ade Fenton's "Advanced" label or F1 Recordings.

Each zip file contains all of the audio files needed to reproduce the originals. The silence at the beginning of some of the parts is so that you can line the files up and everything will be sequenced like the original.
Sample Pack for Twister
Sample Pack for Bang The Box
Sample Pack for Voyager

This is not a competition and there is no prize but I will host some of the RMX's on here after you have uploaded them and although im thinking there is no hurry to do this, at the same time I guess I should set some sort of limit for inclusion on the site. Since it's the last day of June how about we say that you all have 2 months to finish up what you have and submit it. So the deadline is September 1st 2006.

To upload your finished tracks simply visit The Uploader page. It's self-explanatory in it's use. Just make sure you fill out the ID Tags of the Mp3 or OGG file with your contact information or send carl or I an e-mail letting us know which track is yours.

Feel free to make this little remix project known. Tell your friends, post it on message boards (use the message board convertor link below- it's handy!) or send out e-mails. Heck send post-cards we don't care!

Wow, another spike this month in most areas. Notably in the amount of data (read: live sets) transferred, almost hit 1 900 gigs this month! Unique visitors is at 4910 as well, which is very good. My goal to shoot for when I first started was 5000. I've gotten the 5000 before, but to be constantly and consistently hitting that high of a number shows me that there is most definitely a strong interest in Wonky/Brighton Techno, Acid and Electro. The good stuff ;)

I figured out why the last Bleep show didn't turn out. And it struck again. I'm having problems with the streaming software. I'm going to do a thorough uninstall and see I can get it back working for the next show. So it didn't stream live today, but it was pre-recorded in case of emergencies like this...

Download the June 29th, 2006 Archive

I was going through sites yesterday and I discovered that Rotorik has a large selection of Videos on his site. Mostly captured from various live-sets.

Here's a quick run-down of clip titles...

- rotorik live at Quadrat/Giessen July 11th 2003
- TET live in lunenburg
- rotorik live at the WMF berlin january 26th 2002

Plus a Native Instruments vs No Future clip (Rotorik and Vogel)
Plus a 3 part series from Neue Heimat
Plus a half-dozen from Hamburg in 1999

And that's only in the "Clips" section. The Live section has just as many if not more. His server speeds aren't exactly the fastest, but I've managed to grab a few now and it's good watching....but I really like his material so I'm biased.

I wont even mention the audio on the site. I'll let you discover that for yourself!

Rotorik

One if these I just found today. Someone posted them at Livesets, but it was via one of those crappy rapidshare file-hosting things. I know how many people hate rapidshare, megaupload and all the others -- hey I do too. So I uploaded it to my own server for everyone.

Now just one measly little set isn't that great. So to start this week off on the right foot I dug an older set of Cris' out of my archives...
Cristiain Vogel @ Nature One 2001

For those of you who don't know...
Cristian's Site / Forum

Herr Stype - A former Bleep Radio guest (maybe future too - again??) and all around good 'Wonky Techno' DJ has his own slice of the pie that we call the Internet. It's in German so this page might not be readily accessible to everyone, but he keeps track of a lot of Parties, New Releases and other related Techno goodies. Another nice resource to add to the pool!

Stypeblog

I don't know why, so don't ask me, but Toronto and surrounding areas seem to spawn Techno fanatics. All those guys and girls you see at Techno events either front and center yelling their heads off or tucked in the back doing a double fist pump with an expression of pure joy on their face, well, I think they all come from Toronto.

I'm not the most well-travelled person, in fact I kinda get irritated going further from home than the corner store. So I don't really know if Toronto is unique. For today I'm going to assume so though.

I'm not quite sure what all their reasons are. I'm not even sure I know of all of them yet. I do know that there is a good number of people that do their best to promote the music they love. Selflessly I might add. Today I'm going to mention Vergel Evans and his site and associated podcast and fanzine.

Vergel in a nutshell? Verg is a great guy, as stand-up as they come and he always makes me laugh. Just don't ask to smell his hands.

What Vergel does is run a Blog. he noodles on about things in his life like most bloggers, but what his life has in it is tons of Techno. Vergel is a Detroit Techno nut to the bone, but he fully appreciates any and all good music of course.

Vergel's Blog can be found here. He keeps the world at large fully updated with his comings and goings and tries to wrap his head around the experiences associated with Techno being a large part of his life.

The highlight of his site I find is the Podcast he has going. The Podcast and it's RSS File are worthy additions to your feed/podcast aggregator for sure. He even does Video as well so it's not just stuff for your ear-holes.

Short list of latest topics:
Lx7#011 - The Zine, The PA, and Detroit.
Lx7#010 - Is classical music really techno.
Lx7#009 - What Is Live Music Anyways?!?...
Lx7#008 - Arthur, his iPod, and some music

I recommend checking some out.

Spewis, who I've mentioned before has some tracks coming out soon! Check out his Web-page and his Myspace page for the direct scoop.

I wish I could find more info, but i can't. Apparently he has 1 track on a future iron Oxide (various comp I'm assuming....need to know more!) and 1 track on a future Kugelbox. The Kugel boys must really be planning ahead as The most recent one only just came out this week I think...Good to know...and at least with Kugel I know who to hit up for the rest of the dirt. I hope they're willing to spill.

You've all heard of it. Some of you have even joined up. It sucks, but it does a so-so job of keeping information in one handy area. What I like best is the ability to discvoer new music through it. I've found 2-3 people lately that have some pimpin' tunes on their pages.

Here is a list of geeks, dorks, artists and labels that are relevant to Fun in the Murky. Some have audio to listen to, others have tour schedules, some are hideous to look at and others are real purty.

I'm pretty sure I missed a ton so leave a comment with your URL or the one you think belongs and I'll copy it into the list..! Now go forth and waste much time.

I enjoy this one! Oddly enough, despite liking all the Subhead records I don't usually like their live-sets. Not sure why, but it's true. This one...suits me just fine though.

Enjoy!

I wasn't even aware that Force Inc. was back in business and I see this in the forthcomings. Oh me oh my! I hope Force doesn't make the mistake of jumping on a band-wagon and completely over-doing it again. Variety is the spice of life. They had it once and lost it bad. Can Force regain the level of intensity they once had? We'll see!

Today is Fun in the Murky day. Why? I'm not sure really. I just decided that there is enough new stuff with regards to the site that I should make it all known.

Firstly I've been putting a lot of extra work into getting the Fun in the Murky RSS Feeds optimized and more readily available. There are two, one for Fun in the Murky itself and a second one for Bleep Radio. The Bleep Radio one is an excellent "Podcast" by the way!

Fun in the Murky's RSS Feed URl is handled by Feedburner to make my life easier. The URL is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/FunInTheMurky. If you use an RSS Reader of some sort whether it may be stand-alone piece of software or a web-based client you can use that URL to subscribe. The Left-Hand side Menu on Fun in the Murky has a list of icons in wihch you acn lcick to automatically add the RSS Feed to some of the most popular readers out there...I personally use the Google Homepage one. i find it very handy.

The Bleep Radio Podcast URL is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/BleepRadio and is currently listed in sites like iTunes, Podlounge, Podcast Alley and Odeo. When it comes to Podcasts I actually prefer a Standalone piece of Software though and this is where Juice comes in.

I also have a new and updated version of the site in progress. I've been busy on the Homefront lately so not much progress has been made the last 3 weeks, but it is nearly complete. I have a whole new layout dreamed up that'll put more of the info right at your finger tips with less scrolling. I'm also adding a review section to Fun in the Murky with other people halping me do the reviews. Guest reviews will also be more than welcome from anyone who chooses to send one in. The Dj Mixes and Live sets will be easier to pick out from the news and all the different news categories (news, releases, video, etc) will be selectable on thier own. it all comes down to makign the site more user-friendly for all of you who choose to stop by.

if anyone has any comments, questions or suggestions feel free to leave a comment or send me an e-mail.

I re-played the best hour of the show. I only switched up 2-3 mixes so it's about the same. Good enough for us I say!

ok, I screwed up. I don't know exactly what I did, but the recording is completely silent from last night. I sat here and went through the stack of records and wrote up the tracklist, but have no audio file. In the three years of Bleep Radio this is the second time I've made this damned mistake.

Here's the tracklist:

Parts of it were REALLY good so of course I feel like a fool for not having the audio file. I'll have to make up for it and record a mix this weekend.

Alright. Here's the plan:

1. I go and have a shower
2. I go to bed

Sounds grrrrrreat!

Bleep Radio # 33 just ended. I would normally post the tracklist and archive link, BUT today I played live. So what that means is I have to "master" the audio file and upload it still. I also have the nearly 2 hour long mixes tracklist to compile. What a nightmare. So what I'm going to do is this; In the 24 hours it'll be for me to go to bed, go to work in the monring, come home and do the Bleep stuff I expect a butt-load of e-mails. Why? Because the first 3 e-mails I get between now and when I finally post the tracklist will get a DVD full of Bleep Radio sets...or something. I'll just put together a little package for you. It's free so you can't complain.

email me: bleep@isoprax.com

So click the link or copy the address into what ever program you use and send me an e-mail. Just make sure you ask for the Bleep Prize so I know what the e-mail is about.

'til tomorrow!

Dibu-Z
dibu-z aka christian was led to electronic music by his brother, quite early in his life. at the age of 14, he got his hands on his first piece of equipment, a tb 303. later on dibu-z and tobias aka tonsetzer founded the projekt "deimos", with few synths and an amiga 2000.

at the moment he´s producing mainly solo, but also has coproductions with lunik (weirdos 16:9) or mascon, through wich many new impulses come from. Besides his producing, dibu-z also is a passionate dj and known for his unrestrained dj-sets.
Bio taken from Klangnet

With a handful of releases under his belt, a couple appearances on Various Artists EP's and a bunch of screaming groupies (well....maybe), Christain is tearing it up. I personally prefer his harder Techno, but the downtempo 'hip hop' is also good, just not as energetic and I have a short attention span.

Anyway, I got this set from him a few weeks ago at least now and I completely forgot to upload it and share the wealth. I'm a complete fool. Ok, only 87%.

The label/release is distributed and available for presale ordering with audio samples from Deejay.de.

Only the Jonzon track turned me off. It didn't really get my juices flowing. The rest of this EP are fun little loungey chuggers. Perfect for listening at home or playing to a small and appreciative audience. There is definite dance-floor appeal too, don't get me wrong!

Alright, just had a wee chat with Jerome Hill and he mentioned that he had just arrived home from a gig in Poland with some guys going by the name of KIRK. On his recommendation I did some digging and found not only their site, but an MP3 Album they have for download.

I'm sick as a dog right now and completely stoned on various medicines so my memory isn't so hot. So in order to be even lsightly coherent I'm going to write thoughts and comments as I listen to their album...could work.

KIRK "Karton" KIRK

kIRk-01-taki maly beat.mp3
This track kinda makes me think of Atom Heart. Actually makes me think of his DOS Tracks LP mixed with some of Tejada's Hip Hop. Very good. I have no idea what-so-ever about what the vocals are....Polish sounds like..well Polish to me. It has good flow, good song structure and if the rest of the LP is of this calibre I don't even care if there's no "Techno" as this this beat track is tight.

kIRk-02-karton+.mp3
This track didn't find me tapping my foot right off the bat like the first, but after 30 seconds or so I got into it. Fun break with English vocals...I'm sure they lose something in the translation but they're not bad by any means. I'm liking the distorted tom being used throughout as well. Quite "Hot on the Heels of Love"-ish

kIRk-03-wiecej kawy.mp3
Another downtempo goodie with a bit of a dub thing going on. The female vocal really sits well and definitely adds to the overall feeling and mood. The male accompanyment is kept to what's neccesssary and the tempo seems to double up at times...which is easy for a hip hop tempo'd track because we all know drum'n'bass' relation tempo-wise ;)

kIRk-04-dzika saksofona.mp3
Some sort of Jazzy funk instrumental ...? I could see this being played across many "genres". It would be even better with a high quality Mp3 I'm sure as the bass sounds a bit too compressed, but it's the mp3 lossy compression it sounds like

kIRk-05-fore.mp3
Bass Guitar! Wikky wikky wikky scritchy scratchy! This short little number appears to be an interlude of sorts. Pretty cool with the melding of Bass, digital effects and "everybody rock" vocal sample.

alright...that's enough. There are 5 more tracks and I'm getting dizz so it's back to bed for me to heal some more. Grab this LP free from KIRK's site and I prmise you if you have love of good tunes you'll enjoy it.

Apparently, without any fanfare - or at least none that made it's way up to me - Drop Bass Network began putting out new titles again. What? Yeah you heard me. The midwest champion of champions second only to Woody McBrides empire of acid. The hardcore and acid label that twisted minds in the 90's is back.

The first two records out from the Network in much too long...

Marko Laine “Kaktus” Drop Bass Network 67
A1 - “Kaktus One”
A2 - “Kaktus Two”
B1 - “Kaktus Three”
B2 - “Kaktus Four”

Mark Verbos “Damned For All Time” Drop Bass Network 68
A1 - “I Know You Sympathise”
A2 - “All This For Acid”
B1 - “Why Are We The Prophets?”
B2 - “I Am The One Who Saw”
C1 - “Far From The Crowds”
C2 - "Garden Of Gethsemane”
D1 - “Sordid Kind Of Thing”
D2 - “We Know The Law”

The Laine Ep is tight. Marko Laine being "Goio" from previous DBN fame. Heard on Richie Hawtin's Mixmag CD and sought after by many his new stuff isn't as raw, but it's still a great listen.

Drop Bass Network

Bleep not Bleep is the name I give to my mixes that are originally intended for Bleep Radio, but then for various reasons are not used. This one was recorded last night (June 8th) with the intention of using it for the show airing on the 15th. I no longer need a mix for the 15th as someone let me know they'd play live for me. So my mix just dropped a few dozen notches on the great big list of priorities. That means I don't have to hold onto it which is cool.
Spread the word, puff puff give, share the wealth and all that jazz.

A1: Original Version
B1: Sandy Warez Remix
B2: Edge of Motion Remix

This is a tight Dearborn tune. So glad it's seeing the light of day again. I could care less about the remixes. It's all about the original!

Cannibal Cooking Club "Beach Bitches" CCC 06
a1 - gelbe uschi
a2 - puppets & birds (puppet mix)
b1 - pophet
b2 - kochtopf

It's been a while now since I enjoyed a whole CCC release unfortunately. This one is no different. I find that the first three tracks do nothing for me. I wasn't even going to mention it until I heard B2. I don't even know exactly what it is about B2 that tickles my fancy. I think it's the nerdy bloops and bleeps. Good rhythm track, it would be too much fun to double that one up. Too much!

CCC on the Web

It's been seemingly forever since I ran across a new Youngman set online and I was getting the itch. So it's a good thing Mr. Patryk Szulczyk hooked me - ok, all of us -- up with this one here.

Sero "Megamaid" xOx 04
A1- Megamaid listen
B1 - Megamaid (Bass Junkie's Megabass Remix) listen

Both cuts are decent broken beats, but it's the Bass Junkie remix that sends me through an 80's breakdance fit of remembrance.

Order from Veto

For those of you not on Mark's mailing list here's the latest scoop on what's going on with him.

New Mark Hawkins Live Set Demo: Download Here
So totally open to offers and much more up for rocking the live now it's more compact (still full on though MPC Nord n fx), drop me a line if you want me to come rock your party...
Peace
Mark Hawkins

He also mentiones he's working on a DJ MH live set, which sounds pretty cool. I love those old chicago jack trax and the new ones Mark pumps out have the same energy with better production. Can't go wrong with silly fun!

Mark has also made the Move out of Germany to Poland. He's a regular traveling techno caravan that guy...

speaking of which, as of 01.08.06 I will be living in Gdansk, Poland, so all travel will have to start there, flights either from Gdansk Lech Walesa, or failing that Warsaw.. GDN>FRA and GDN>MUC is possible along with more connections to west germany, various connections to UK, copenhagen and Stockholm.. East germany is better reached by train, and I can always come to berlin a day or so before a gig...

Justin Maxwell "Pillow Filter" Pretension 05
A1 - Pillow Filter [listen]
B1 - Is that a Gameboy or a cellphone [listen]
B2 - Pillow filter (Insectoid inversion) [listen]

Here's the official hype:
"Following his recent release as half of the Diskchordians , plenty of tech house releases on Palette Recordings and Trapez, remixes for Dominik Eulberg, Mossa and Sweet n' Candy, Volsoc's Justin Maxwell releases another nastied-up error-ific electro smasher, full of carefully-sculpted sounds and dsp wizardry. The A-side, “Pillow Filter,” is a series of thick, ascending constructs of bass movement and textured percussion, with a sharp, deep kick keeping it all together. It begins with repeated mechanical rhythm, blooping percussion and detuned springy sounds. A mean, distorted bass line melody comes in and maintains this groove for the next minute or so, before all the energy releases into huge counterpoint bass whoops and even more layers of percussion, twisting and turning through the next six minutes. B1 is an exercise in sound design. There's a tough beat going the whole time, but the constantly modulating pads and swoops, garbled demonic synths, bass drops, 16 th note staccato jabs and robotic loops take centre stage. Unlike the other two, which are perfect for the dance floor, this one is a bit more for places where inanimate objects talk to you. While the A-side is relentlessly thick, B2, the original Pillow Filter – the Insectoid Inversion Mix – takes all the swoops and sweeps of the other mix, strips out 75% of the drums, adds a kick only 18” subs in an intergalactic low-rider can properly reproduce, throws in a hacked up 1950's TV commercial melody, and focuses more on the individual sounds."

My less pleonastic version: It's a good, dark mood setting, electro EP. Well worth the couple bucks to buy. It may not be super energetic, floor peak time material at first glance, but I have $5 that says if played correctly it could spill a beer at 50 feet from the local ass grinder's hand.

Dave Tarrida "Gauteng Fever" Tresor 225
A1 - 2 Reconstructed
A2 - Tsotsi Beat
B1 - The Number
B2 - Striking Fingers (Remixed by Dave Tarrida)

Nice! Great release from Dave again. A1 is a fun Tech-House chunky chugger. Lots of electro zaps and acid quirks on a steady 4 on the floor beat. Reminds me of the Earth nation release on Schallbau, but with more background swooshy things. A2 tries to do something, but I'm not a fan of it. Maybe a higher quality sound sample is in order for this one...to me right now though it sounds liek a weaker version of A1. B1 has some computer generated love messages that are kinda fun and could be used as some silly cut fuel. The beat is straight ahead and kinda bouncy...fun for preparing people for something a little more intense for sure. The Striking Fingers remix...I'm going to leave unheard for now. The A1 and B1 tracks are strong enough for me to buy this record so i want to leave a bit of a surprise.

A healthy number of Uniques and a jump in page views is good news this month. 2,571 average requests per day frankly blows my mind. I love it! Over 100 gigs more in transfer this month too...Still have plenty of bandwidth left. I'm going to have to think up something new to get you guys and gals downloading more ;)
