DJ Colette Vox the House
C Weekly – Oct 25, 2007
Usually on Tuesdays the party brings out the best in the 18-and-over-crowd many of whom like Colette did at Chicago’s legendary all-ages Medusa’s are discovering house themselves spurred on perhaps by JT Donaldson tracks and Derrick Carter remixes coming out of Costa Mesa’s Seasons label. “People come in and just start dancing right away; there’s not that awkward first hour where people feel like they have the need to get inebriated. That’s saying something because electronic music is sure sounding inebriated these days. Like a decade ago when the Prodigy and Chemical Brothers brought techno to the rockers the indie-dance sounds of Justice and Simian Mobile Disco have made house music the lower-profile older brother again watching its younger funk siblings with the weird haircuts and dubious fashion choices find their way. It’s funny that house as the oldest electronic music at least on this side of the Atlantic is still arguably the most underground. “It isn’t as accessible as trance and it isn’t on the radio and kids want to go out and sing to their favorite songs” Colette sighs. In an era of fading superstar DJs (they’re playing records after all and the X isn’t that good) Colette is the kind of star who doesn’t have to be super… That’s saying something because electronic music is sure sounding inebriated these days.

She’s firmly planted in the tradition of her Chi-town legends Derrick Carter Mark Farina and house’s DB Green Velvet. She’s still a member of the estro-house DJ collective Superjane which she co-founded in Chicago 10 years ago.
A haven for lovers of avant-garde bagpipe music
Telegraph.co.uk – Oct 25, 2007
There was no money about but the great thing was Atallah just let us get on with it. The Wire spent the ’80s enjoying London’s decade-long flirtation with jazz but in the ’90s it gradually became home to pieces on underground music of all varieties celebrating anyone who vented ideas that sat outside the mainstream. The boom in electronic music from drum and bass to ambient fitted perfectly into The Wire’s world and nowadays as editor Chris Bohn (53 clad in black) says “It’s easier to define us by what we don’t cover than what we do. Such complete autonomy is aided by the fact that The Wire is now staff-owned. Herrington led a successful buy-out in February 2001 when Atallah said he was going to sell the magazine. “None of us wanted to do anything else” he says. The magazine is regularly involved with curating festivals from Sonar in Barcelona to Adventures in Modern Music in Chicago an event whose title is taken from the magazine’s strapline.

DJ Pandemonium

gif’> printDJ PandemoniumBy Martin TurenneThe one-liner on Isaac Terpstra (aka DJ Pandemonium) is that he’s the local scene’s premier goth and industrial record-spinner. The longer story is that he’s been a nightclub fixture since 1995 and that he’s played just about every club in the city from dearly departed venues like the Palladium and the original Celebrities to newer spots like the Lotus and well the new Celebrities. When someone gets around to writing a history of Vancouver’s electronic-music scene Pandemonium will figure prominently. Current residenciesSanctuary Fridays at the Lotus Sound LoungeSin City Fetish Night at Club 23 West (second and fourth Saturday of every month) First gig”My first public DJ gig was playing rockabilly music at Ska Sundays at the Twilight Zone circa late 1995 a night I inherited which then became Rockabilly Roundup. Two of my favourite genres have always been rockabilly and industrial?bands like the Cramps Ministry and Revolting Cocks. “ Record that never leaves your boxThe Cramps’ Songs the Lord Taught Us Favourite current local dj”Betti Forde and R-Lex?you can’t beat them for deranged wide-ranging selections of favourites and left-field party music. “ What’s so great about sin city?”The music format and demographic is blown completely wide open and literally anything goes.

(There’s much more but space is limited. )The work Neighbor Singing most resembles in Laner’s canon is 2003′s unjustly overlooked The Mechanical Forces of Love by the reformed Medicine. That album melded the weirdly textured electronic music of Laner’s Electric Company guise with his deeply ingrained ’60s SoCal pop inclinations (Brian Wilson John Phillips the Millennium etc. Neighbor Singing leans more on the sunshine-pop tip as Laner runs rich swirling guitar textures through his dazzling array of effects units. But as withMechanical Forces the melodies come sweet and thick and bearing solar halos.
