Absolute kwaliteitsset..
Blend tussen dieper en melodieuzer werk, wat abstractere tracks en platen met een lekker oldschool gevoel erin.. Gaat hier en daar lekker de diepte in dus of ik dit live zou trekken weet ik niet maar om thuis / onderweg te luisteren is het super.
Maar ja, tis geen prog :p |

| quote: | Richie Hawtin: Biography 2005
Richie Hawtin is dreaming of the future again. More than 15 years after he
began exploring new frontiers in electronic dance music, he is redefining
the idea of what a DJ can be. From his stark techno tracks on the Plus-8
label to the spectral acid minimalism of his releases as Plastikman, Hawtin
has always been, as he puts it, "searching for what's next". Now his new mix
album, DE9: Transitions, has made another quantum leap of the imagination.
DE9: Transitions has been realised in 5.1 surround sound, using the latest
recording techology to create an immersive sonic experience: 95 minutes of
altered perception. Hawtin has used Abelton Live and ProTools software to
strip apart then reassemble his component tracks to make completely new
pieces of music, combining multiple elements simultaneously into a
constantly shifting collage of sound. Technique aside, DE9: Transitions is
an powerful and compelling trip.
This is the third in the DE9 series which began in 1999 with the fiery,
angular rhythms of Decks, EFX & 909 - reflecting Hawtin's DJ sets using drum
machines and effects as well as records - and continued in 2001 with the
kinetic loop frenzy of DE9: Closer to the Edit. Over that period, he has
refined his use of advanced technology to liberate himself from the more
mundane tasks that DJs have to perform, enabling him to produce something
that's far more richly-textured than the sound of needle on spinning vinyl.
"DJing is more about performance now, it's verging on a live show, and part
of the progression towards that is moving further and further away from
turntable technology and the idea of mechanically mixing two records
together," he explains. "We used to spend so much effort on getting records
to stay in time with each other. But once you stop having to worry about
that, you can really start thinking about what sounds work together, and you
can have more things going on."
Vinyl fundamentalists might, he agrees, regard this as heresy. Even the
superstar DJs of the international party circuit who've largely abandoned
vinyl for more easily-portable CDs have gone nowhere near this far. Hawtin,
typically, sees it as an opportunity: "The progressive people are thinking,
if computer technologies automate one task, what can I now do better or what
new task can I find to do?" he says. "That's the big question behind all the
DE9 CDs - what can I do now with the technology and how can I push in a new
direction to further the experimentation and heighten the experience?"
DE9: Transitions combines everything from original Hawtin productions to
unreleased tracks straight from the studios of cutting-edge producers like
Ricardo Villalobos, and adds flashes of classic techno moments which
inspired him when he was a young clubber. But most of the tracks are
fundamentally transformed from their original states. Some fade in and out
over a period of minutes, others are reduced to one single sampled note. The
on-screen read-out on the DVD version of DE9: Transitions illustrates that
its smoothly shape-shifting outline, this is a remarkable complex project.
In fact the tracks are so close to becoming entirely new compositions that
Hawtin has made the decision to give them his own names.
"It's taking a chance, doing a mix CD and giving the tracks my own titles
representing what these pieces have become," he admits. "But I believe it's
gone far enough that I can do that. Some people might get pissed about it;
we'll see. The CD artwork plays with that, it's a picture of my face which
is totally made up of these track names, so it shows you that although this
is made by me, I'm no greater or lesser than the information I'm using."
Hawtin was born in Banbury, England in 1970, but at the age of nine, his
family moved to Windsor, Canada; just over the river from Detroit, the
birthplace of techno. His father - a robotics technician at General Motors,
fittingly - introduced him to Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and other early
computer music, and it was somehow inevitable that he would become infected
with the techno virus. He began to DJ in Detroit clubs like Shelter at the
age of 17, mixing house and techno with European post-industrial electronic
body music by the likes of Front 242, and even had his own show on a Detroit
radio station. He started the Plus-8 label with fellow Canadian DJ John
Acquaviva in 1990, releasing his own tracks - initially as FUSE - alongside
those of producers like Speedy J and Kenny Larkin. Along with Underground
Resistance, Plus-8 had a huge impact, launching the second wave of Detroit
techno, just as its originators - Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin
Saunderson - became global stars.
His subsequent albums as Plastikman and his Concept series of 12-inch
releases helped to take the genre one step further in the mid-1990s. Hawtin
had, by this time, established himself as one of techno's leading
innovators, a reputation cemented by his mix CDs. In 2003, after leaving
Canada to spend a year in New York, he moved to Berlin - which has been the
world's second techno city since the fall of the Wall opened up creative
spaces in derelict buildings left abandoned by the march of history. It's an
environment he's found genuinely inspiring.
"I'd always wanted to move to Europe," he says. "I needed somewhere that was
inspiring and where there were like-minded musicians and artists, somewhere
you could still experiment with music and with life. Berlin is so liberal in
so many different ways; there's an amazing club scene, there's a great
development software tech scene, there are so many resources here."
Hawtin has sometimes been portrayed as some kind of scientist-intellectual
figure within techno culture, partly because of his innovative use of music
technology. And yet there's also something of the night about him. Berlin
has amplified that, too. "I think I'm a little crazier now, I party a bit
more," he says. "I've been dancing a lot, listening a lot, going to crazy
parties with a bunch of really good friends - being part of the scene."
Hawtin was the force behind some truly twisted warehouse parties in the
Detroit area in the 1990s, until a local clampdown cooled the ardour. He now
does his own club nights in Berlin, although much of his time is taken up
crossing contintents to play anywhere from 10,000-strong raves to tiny
sweatboxes for 300 people. He says that what he's seen on his endless
travels suggests that any pronouncement of the death of dance music is
seriously premature.
"In the last few years, the interest in electronic music has gone back up,
the quality of the music has gone back up, there's a buzz which reminds you
of the early days," he insists. "From where I'm sitting right now, dance
music is more vibrant than ever. In some countries you'll always have the
press saying it's going down and writing it off, but somewhere else the
interest level is soaring and people are discovering this music for the
first time, like in South America, where it's completely kicking off - it's
unbelievable down there. There are some great festivals and parties in
Europe, and over the last five years I've seen Ibiza go from complete cheesy
e music to the resurgence of a number of different types of progressive
electronic music."
The Plus-8 label still releases records sporadically, but Hawtin's main
label now is Minus, the nurturing environment for a new generation of
minimalist techno composers and DJs. He has also done a number of projects
which fall well outside the traditional role of the club DJ, such as the
music he's composed for a choreographed piece which will form part of the
opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Turin next year.
Hawtin talks a lot about experimenting, but it would be incorrect to
characterise him purely as some kind of electronic lab technician. What he
does has a sharply defined purpose: "It would be so easy to make something
so ing extreme and so out-there that people would say it was crazy and
experimental, but they wouldn't really like it," he says. "As much as I like
experimenting and pushing forward, I also like partying, so I'm always
trying to find a way to communicate my furthest-out ideas in a way people
can comprehend at this moment. It's forward thinking and futuristic but it's
not far-fetched."
He concludes with a phrase that sums up his mission: "I want to entertain
people, but I want to take them somewhere they've never been before." |

Ja. Ben jij weer in Enschede dan?
Moet zeggen dat ik het overigens niet al te spectaculair vind, maar misschien is het toch wel even de moeite waard om te gaan kijken. |
