  • An Oral History of Berlin Minimal Techno
    Menu Search Red Bull Music Academy Daily An Oral History of Berlin Minimal Techno A look back at the stripped-down subgenre that defined the German capital from 1998-2008 September 7, 2018 By Joshua Glazer In 1998, the rave scene that gripped Germany after reunification was at its apex. What had started in the literal underground spaces of post-GDR Berlin after the fall of the Wall had gone mainstream, with millions of young people celebrating the colorful culture of electronic dance music all across the country. But the techno utopia envisioned by many as the new millenium approached was already starting to come undone. The trend was swiftly co-opted – ironically, by some of the same capitalist forces that had defeated the communist system a decade earlier. The bubble soon burst, and many of those truly dedicated to the music were forced to rebuild. The result was something that was the opposite of rave’s over-the- top excess, a movement that idealized a minimalist aesthetic in sound, visuals and fashion. It was a lifestyle that resisted the unbridled exuberance of rave in favor of something more sustainable – and sustain it did, with tracks that filled whole sides of vinyl and parties that went on for days at a time. Berlin became the center for this new creative community, drawing in techno practitioners and aficionados from around the world who came for the party and stayed for the ease of living made possible by cheap rents and easy access to artist visas. “Minimal” became the buzzword around this scene, and while overindulgences were aplenty in freewheeling afterhours, the “arm, aber sexy” (poor but sexy) slogan coined by then-mayor Klaus Wowereit could not have been a more accurate appraisal of Berlin’s appeal.

  • The DIY Careers of Techno and Drum 'N' Bass Djs in Vienna
    Cross-Dressing to Backbeats: The Status of the Electroclash Producer and the Politics of Electronic Music Feature Article David Madden Concordia University (Canada) Abstract Addressing the international emergence of electroclash at the turn of the millenium, this article investigates the distinct character of the genre and its related production practices, both in and out of the studio. Electroclash combines the extended pulsing sections of techno, house and other dance musics with the trashier energy of rock and new wave. The genre signals an attempt to reinvigorate dance music with a sense of sexuality, personality and irony. Electroclash also emphasizes, rather than hides, the European, trashy elements of electronic dance music. The coming together of rock and electro is examined vis-à-vis the ongoing changing sociality of music production/ distribution and the changing role of the producer. Numerous women, whether as solo producers, or in the context of collaborative groups, significantly contributed to shaping the aesthetics and production practices of electroclash, an anomaly in the history of popular music and electronic music, where the role of the producer has typically been associated with men. These changes are discussed in relation to the way electroclash producers Peaches, Le Tigre, Chicks on Speed, and Miss Kittin and the Hacker often used a hybrid approach to production that involves the integration of new(er) technologies, such as laptops containing various audio production softwares with older, inexpensive keyboards, microphones, samplers and drum machines to achieve the ironic backbeat laden hybrid electro-rock sound.

  • Detroit Techno and Dystopian Digital Culture
    Hooked on an Affect: Detroit Techno and Dystopian Digital Culture Feature Article Richard Pope Ryerson University Abstract Detroit techno is typically historicized as having grown out of the late 1970s and early 1980s middle-class, consumerist, and aspirational high school social party scene, giving the impression that Detroit techno artists created forward-thinking music as a means to acquire subcultural capital and (re)produce their identities. In this essay, this position is nuanced for a more complex understanding of techno’s relation to the quotidian phenomenological encounter with the dystopian setting of Detroit. Concomitantly, predominant theorizations of affect within the humanities, which emphasize the utopian, hopeful dimensions of affect’s inherent productivity, are supplemented for an understanding of productive energy revolving around affects of dystopia and on a certain hopelessness which scholars, in the years ahead, will increasingly have to negotiate. Keywords: techno, Detroit, dystopia, affect, aesthetic, desire, subculture Richard Pope is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Ryerson University. His recent work examines the dystopian horizon of contemporary capitalism and popular culture. He has published previously in Camera Obscura, Space and Culture, Film-Philosophy, and Cinema Journal (forthcoming). Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture 2 (1): 24–44 ISSN 1947-5403 ©2011 Dancecult http://dj.dancecult.net DOI 10.12801/1947-5403.2011.02.01.02 Pope | Hooked on an Affect 25 Without sounding too new-agey or metaphysical, I think that Detroit, the actual “location of Detroit, is the instigator behind everything. —Jason Huvaere (in Sicko 2010: 92) It’s the emptiness in the city that puts the wholeness in the music.

  • Doing by Not Doing? Minimal Packaging and Design in Techno Music
    DOING BY NOT DOING? MINIMAL PACKAGING AND DESIGN IN TECHNO MUSIC THOMAS BEY WILLIAM BAILEY While hosting a podcast given over to the mixing skills of the techno producer Function (a.k.a. David Sumner), CLR record label boss Chris Liebing says - in a cheerful tone of voice seemingly denoting approval - that "[he] has successfully avoided any Internet appearances so far…so you won't find a direct Facebook page or web page [for him]."1 Liebing immediately follows this disclaimer with an impressive laundry list of upcoming Function-related projects (remixes, solo works etc.), which none-too-subtly suggests that an absence from online social networking is anything but an absence from networking 'full stop', and certainly not a concession to laziness. That this little morsel of information can actually be refreshing and unexpected testifies to the contemporary ubiquity of online social grooming, but it also hints at the persisting paradoxical qualities of techno music. Not only does the genre, despite its relentless quest for sonic innovation, continue to embrace the vinyl record as its idealized storage and playback medium2, but many of its constituents continue to embrace other more distinctly 'pre-digital' means of communication. Case in point: the UK label Sandwell District (not to be confused with a similarly named production duo pairing the aforementioned Sumner with Karl O'Connor, a.k.a. Regis) features no web address or email contact on its recorded output. They are by no means the lone exception to a rule here, and Sandwell District mainstay Function is representative of another long-standing trend within the international techno community, whereby artists operative over the past two and a half decades have made a habit of bucking the recorded music 'star system' with elusive pseudonyms that are either evocative of technical precision (e.g.
