Re-Discover The Rings Of Saturn E-mail

LIVE Performance by Jeff Mills and Mike Banks - June 21st, 2008 at the Sonar Festival in Barcelona!!

The first joint album of Jeff Mills and Mike Banks since their work together with Underground Resistance is due for release in June.

In 1992 Jeff Mills, Mike Banks and Robert Hood - still known at that time as Underground Resistance - released what was probably the most futuristic album in modern electronic music: “X-102 discovers The Rings Of Saturn” (Tresor.004/UR), as part of their X-10… series. The tracks on X-102 were reduced to minimal levels, looping with a marginal BMP rate, spacey and sometimes entirely without beats. This was revolutionary: listeners had just become accustomed to the uncompromising Detroit techno sound that the three of them had produced so far. Thus on the way to Saturn they surpassed even themselves, if not a decade jump then at least 15 years ahead of their time.

The transition phase between former recording techniques and the computer age resounded on the album, and seemed as if it had been recorded with computers that had not yet been invented. In fact, the unconventional tracks resulted from a process of cutting up the taped material and then pasting together again. The album has not been available since the end of the last century and thus it’s become difficult for the new generation to appreciate the work. One also tends to forget that very little was known at that time about the second largest planet in our solar system.

New 430 West Release & Tour E-mail

The Legendary Brothers of Detroit Techno Announce the First New Release in 3 Years on 430 West

Detroit, MI, United States - Electronic dynamic duo Octave One announce the release of their new SINGLE and new LIVE TOUR for 2008.

Electronic dynamic duo Octave One, Lawrence and Lenny Burden, announce the release of their new SINGLE, “I NEED RELEASE” b/w “HERE COMES THE PUSH”, on their own reborn label, 430 West Records.

Collaborating once again with Ann Saunderson (the vocalist on their hit single “Blackwater”, 2002), and MC P.Gruv (from their “The Theory of Everything” album, 2004), the brothers have produced a dance floor heavy double sided single. “I Need Release” blends Ann’s angelic vocals with the Burden’s signature rough and tumble production style, while “Here Comes The Push” takes a percussion driven ride off the edge, with P.Gruv as your guide. The tracks are already gracing the decks of the likes of Jeff Mills, Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig, Richie Hawtin, and Claude Young among many others. This project leads to the release of Octave One’s first studio album in four years, “Summers on Jupiter” (September 2008), also on 430 West Records.

ImageOne of the things that we Detroiters like to brag about is the serious amount of talent that’s here. One such artist is Bill Stacy, aka DJ Seoul. He‘s been on the set for so long that people can sometimes take for granted his impeccable mixing skill. All of that may change soon, as Seoul is finally bubbling up from the underground to make his presence known on a global scale.

Fresh off of Detroit Techno Militia’s European tour, RECON:313, he recounts his slow but sure rise to notoriety. “As a child, I was formally trained on the drums — counter-culture sounds and movements really motivated me,” Seoul says. “I‘m still into drums, as well as other traditional and electronic instruments.” Like so many of us, his introduction to electronic music came from two familiar sources: The Wizard (Jeff Mills) and the Electrifying Mojo, both of whom had mainstream radio shows in the ‘80s and early-‘90s. He cites other Detroit artists for influencing his DJ style, like Kenny Dixon Jr., Theo Parrish, Terrance Parker and Aux 88. In 1995, DJ Seoul was officially born at Juan Atkins’ Metroplex Records ten-year-anniversary event. Since then, he has developed a DJ style that is more akin to hip-hop turntablism, focusing on mixing and scratching, which is not the easiest of tasks when playing house and techno. DJ Seoul will be performing Saturday, March 22 at Corktown Tavern for the Funktion 2.0 event. Visit bangtech12.com.
