synth freak – david hillel wilson

my buddy julian sent me this. at first i thought it was him since he has like seven zillion keyboards and drum machines – though julian is actually attractive.

i couldn’t stop watching it. apparently this dude was the godfather of synth knowledge and was responsible for the new england synthesizer museum. he died last year but it seems like he left quite a few fans behind.

i recently sent julian my alpha juno 2 – which is one weird, rare synth. i hope he is tweaking his guts out.

tyler stenson tribute

i have known tyler stenson for well over a decade. his brother garett and i became friends and early on i was invited over to garett’s place and tyler was this quiet fellow walking around with an acoustic guitar.

tyler was one of the founding pillars of db clay so needless to say we have spent many hours together. he is one of the most talented musicians i have ever met and he has been faithfully following his dream since i can remember. this video below was recently released and i thought it would be good to share. it really captures his passion and journey.

proud of you tyler. you will always have my support my friend!

dubstep: the techno savior

mr. diggles — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 13:08:00 +0000

i have been listening to techno, which later evolved into electronic music, for about 20 years now. i got my first techno cd when i was 11 years old and it was called techno truth vol 1 and it blew my young mind. ever since i have been hooked.

now let me explain my tragedy with electronic music. i love the shit. like it has been the center of my universe since that day when i was eleven. but here’s the rub – the culture sucks total balls. whenever i tell people i am a fan of electronic music the two following images usually arise:

now this has caused me to have a considerable complex. i have always been very let down by the leaders of the industry since there never really has been a spokesperson for the genre. some have gotten close such as moby but he was too worried about people eating animals and shit like that. other leaders have furthered the sterotype such as dj keoki who heavily promoted the drug and rave culture:

i remember back in the late 90′s early 2000′s paul okenfold put out that transport album that hit it big with fraternity folk since i feel like every time i mentioned i was into “techo” a college kid would pipe up and say “have you heard of paul oakenfold?” yes. and you mean paul jokenfold. well, things have changed in the last 5+ years. dubstep has changed the perception entirely. people fucking love the stuff. so much that shitney spears even put out a track with some bullshet dubstep undertones in it (@2:18):

now i would be lying if i said that i am not fully on the bandwagon. dubstep is some of the most creative and engaging electronic music that has ever emerged and i feel it is changing the way people look at electronic music all together. and as far as i am concerned as long as people don’t think of man on man club music and candy kids with drugs then this is a step in the right direction. a dubstep if you will.

that being said, i wanted to share a few different flavors of dubstep for your listening pleasure. those that are heavy into electronic music know that the genre has sub-genres and even those can break down even further.

here are some examples of different kinds of dubstep:

epic, melodic dubstep with vocals

Flux Pavillion – Digital Controller

Dave Gahan – Saw Something (Skream Remix)

DeadMau5 – I Remember (Caspa Remix)

Freestylers – Cracks (Flux Pavillion Remix)

complex, fast cut dubstep

Porter Robinson – Spitfire

Skrillex – Kill Everybody (Bare Noise Remix)

dark, minimal dubstep

TC + Caspa – Where’s My Money

The Antiserum – Skullfucked

mainstream, listenable dubstep

Burial – Archangel

Kreayshawn – Gucci Gucci

dubstep has also kinda become a video meme. people are constantly doing dubstep remixes to videos because it is so funny. this one however is uber tasteless – i couldn’t help myself. however it is topical because i keep telling everyone to not get a flu shot:

my friend ian disagrees with my stance on dubstep being a good thing because he says the music attracts a crappy crowd at the shows. i asked what type of crowd and he sent me this pic and said wanna be gangsters.

if you know of any dubstep tracks you like, add a link in the comments. zing!

viva la techno!
