“They hadn’t even recorded all the vocals yet, but Chromeo cronies Dave and P let us come through the Brooklyn studio where they were working on their forthcoming album, Business Casual. We nerded out over soundproofing, keyboards, the Source rhyme of the month and most importantly, the fact that they have been recording their albums on the same junky toy computer/Cakewalk Pro Audio set-up since like, 1946. Watch the video to see where it all happened, plus get an exclusive first listen at a sample of the magic that is their new work, which we heard some of and is going to be ON OUR iPOD DOCKS ON THE DECK OF A BOAT ALL SUMMER LONG.”
Dimitri From Paris: One of my all-time favorites is coming out with a new compilation this month, “Get down with the Philly Sound” on BBE. “This compilation focuses on Dimitri’s essential disco era tracks – made in Philadelphia, that feature the core of the rhythm section that created and defined the sound of the genre. For this compilation Dimitri has exclusively reworked 5 tracks from the original multitrack tapes of Gamble and Huff with a further 4 being edited from the original 2 track stereo masters. This tribute to the creators of disco is presented on a limited edition 10,000 copies double cd. Multiple deluxe vinyl exclusively featuring Dimitris remixes and edits. ”

“Beat presently imposes itself as the martial law controlling all expression. Music is now only music if legitimized by Beat. And the dancehall represents society under disco lockdown”, journalist Biba Kopf wrote those words nearly twenty years ago. His was a comment on his peers – the vast ocean of influences of early minimalist pioneers like Cabaret Voltaire, Non, and Can – being buried by the rising tide of techno music – a descendent clearly rooted in the same common history – but one overtly intent on replacement. At the same time, it was also an essay to the future, to those born after punk, to those in a country that they have seen both united and divided, and to those musicians who have brought Kraftwerk’s idea of a man-machine to life – a future where “disco lockdown” didn’t look as much like imprisonment as it did freedom.
Marcel Dettmann is one such case, his heritage traceable back to the accumulated grime under his fingernails caused by old industrial records long ago consigned to the dustbin of time. Much has been said of Dettmann and his legendary sets at his residency in Berlin at the techno Mecca Berghain. It seems that he’s taken over the role Sasha once occupied, the DJ matinee idol that can even make the boys swoon. Hype aside, the guy came of age in a time when club culture became the center of German youth culture and no other contemporary DJs or producer have expressed that shift better.

Debate on the future of vinyl reached fever pitch at the end of last year when rumours started surfacing that Panasonic was due to discontinue the iconic Technics range of turntables. Low international sales were supposedly to blame, dance disciples switching to newly accessible (and acceptable) CD decks and live software set-ups. Subsequent Panasonic responses flatly denied this but nonetheless re-iterated a decline in the “analogue market.” As result clubland continued to question whether it was approaching the end of an era; that questioning is still going on now.
