Probe 26
1995

Richie Hawtin was going to release some of the Mothering Noise stuff on Probe, but in the process of listening to stuff we ended up going with this crunchy filter tweaked techno-funk stuff.

There was a brief 'genre' called Experimental House with Carl Craig, Richie Hawtin. Soon enough, the rest of techno realized we were right (Richie's Hardphunk leading the way), and techno settled back closer to trax/chicago house, and there was no longer a need for another genre name. And 909 hardcore went off in its own direction eventually towards gabba.

ekagra is a sanskrit term meaning intense concentration, single mindeness, even to the point of tunnel vision. initially it is a skill, eventually, it is a weakness.

    • Speed dating

      Matt Shadetek just wrote up an article for Dubspot where he explains my theory of Speed Dating.  This is where you make lots of quick sketches and then only finish the best ones.  This way you don't get stuck trying to "solve" some problem with a track when the truth is the track's whole energy and fate was determined in the first few minutes. He explains it quite well and talks about how he and Rupture write together. http://dubspot.squarespace.com/blog/2010/3/3/dutty-artz-studio-knowledge-production-speed-dating.html   ...

    • Masinqo Ethiopia Remix for Maga Bo

      I'm working on a remix right now of a track by Maga Bo called Ransom. He recorded this Masinqo player while he was traveling in Ethiopia and wrote a track around it. Now I'm doing a remix for a digital release. The other mix is going to be by Pacheko (Venezuela, whose been sending me some nice dubstep tracks recently that I've been playing out). So today I'm wanting to study up, conceptualize the relationship of the elements and energies. ...

Solar Life Raft Ingredients

  • coltan and cassiterite Timeblind

The unmixed ingredients from Rupture and Shadetek’s Solar Life Raft. Including two tracks by me: Coltan and Cassiterite and Space Cadet (which came out on last year’s 12” on Version)

I’ve been waiting/yearning for Coltan and Cassiterite to come out for much of last year. I was about to release it myself just to relieve my own tension waiting for it. Anyway, its on a good home: The Agriculture and the reviews have been great so far.

The title refers to two of the minerals that are mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo and are components in portable electronics like cel phones. Its one of the unfortunate driving forces behind continuing warfare among the militias in the Rwanda/DRC border area.
