  • Classic Albums: the Berlin/Germany Edition
    Course Title Classic Albums: The Berlin/Germany Edition Course Number REMU-UT 9817 D01 Spring 2019 Syllabus last updated on: 2​3-Dec-2018 Lecturer Contact Information Course Details Wednesdays, 6:15pm to 7:30pm (14 weeks) Location NYU Berlin Academic Center, Room BLAC 101 Prerequisites No pre-requisites Units earned 2 credits Course Description A classic album is one that has been deemed by many —or even just a select influential few — as a standard bearer within or without its genre. In this class—a companion to the Classic Albums class offered in New York—we will look and listen at a selection of classic albums recorded in Berlin, or recorded in Germany more broadly, and how the city/country shaped them – from David Bowie's famous Berlin trilogy from 1977 – 79 to Ricardo Villalobos' minimal house masterpiece Alcachofa. We will deconstruct the music and production of these albums, ​ ​ putting them in full social and political context and exploring the range of reasons why they have garnered classic status. Artists, producers and engineers involved in the making of these albums will be invited to discuss their seminal works with the students. Along the way we will also consider the history of German electronic music. We will particularly look at how electronic music developed in Germany before the advent of house and techno in the late 1980s as well as the arrival of Techno, a new musical movement, and new technology in Berlin and Germany in the turbulent years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, up to the present.

  • 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.

  • Savoy and Regent Label Discography
    Discography of the Savoy/Regent and Associated Labels Savoy was formed in Newark New Jersey in 1942 by Herman Lubinsky and Fred Mendelsohn. Lubinsky acquired Mendelsohn’s interest in June 1949. Mendelsohn continued as producer for years afterward. Savoy recorded jazz, R&B, blues, gospel and classical. The head of sales was Hy Siegel. Production was by Ralph Bass, Ozzie Cadena, Leroy Kirkland, Lee Magid, Fred Mendelsohn, Teddy Reig and Gus Statiras. The subsidiary Regent was extablished in 1948. Regent recorded the same types of music that Savoy did but later in its operation it became Savoy’s budget label. The Gospel label was formed in Newark NJ in 1958 and recorded and released gospel music. The Sharp label was formed in Newark NJ in 1959 and released R&B and gospel music. The Dee Gee label was started in Detroit Michigan in 1951 by Dizzy Gillespie and Divid Usher. Dee Gee recorded jazz, R&B, and popular music. The label was acquired by Savoy records in the late 1950’s and moved to Newark NJ. The Signal label was formed in 1956 by Jules Colomby, Harold Goldberg and Don Schlitten in New York City. The label recorded jazz and was acquired by Savoy in the late 1950’s. There were no releases on Signal after being bought by Savoy. The Savoy and associated label discography was compiled using our record collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963. Some album numbers and all unissued album information is from “The Savoy Label Discography” by Michel Ruppli.

  • The Andrew Weatherall Mixes) Label: Sunday Best Recordings Release Date: 29Th July 2016 Cat: SBEST188
    Artist: Solar Bears Title: Separate From The Arc (The Andrew Weatherall Mixes) Label: Sunday Best Recordings Release date: 29th July 2016 Cat: SBEST188 Irish electronic duo Solar Bears – fresh from releasing their critically acclaimed third album ‘Advancement’ earlier this year – have received the remix treatment from seminal DJ, producer & IDM Techno forefather Andrew Weatherall. Reimagining ‘Separate From The Arc’ – ‘Advancement’s’ climactic, swirling & masterfully cathartic closer – Weatherall delivers a left field, darker-toned re-shift, preserving the track’s central energy whilst propagating and expanding its percussive elements via glitched-out rhythms and syncopated nuances. It’s a momentous pairing. Both Solar Bears and Weatherall are masters of analogue and digital collisioning, both striving to reinvent and challenge the electronic music form. A testament to their affinity, Solar Bears were in turn asked to remix ‘Kicking The River’ – a track taken from Weatherall’s latest album Convenanza. Solar Bear’s third album ‘Advancement’ was released March 18th on Sunday Best Recordings. It’s an epic statement where the individual sounds and phrases may appear familiar to the listener, but when experienced fully provide a powerful soundtrack to the primitive beauty of existence. The cryptic themes and unidentified episodes are wrapped in compelling sensation and emotion, chaos touched by balance, the known inter-twined with the ethereal, cascading rhythms and expansive plateaus of sound. The duo have garnered support from Boiler Room, Uncut & Resident Advisor, with Fact Mag noting “Advancement floats by in a slow-drift of synthy beauty, from the sparkling ‘Wild Flowers’ to the majestic ‘Man Plus”. Fact also filmed a short video with the duo – exploring their expansive equipment collection and explosive live show.

    From: To: Licensing Subject: Fabric London Date: 24 August 2016 15:34:27 Good afternoon, Please consider the impact closing Fabric will have on the local and wider community. The London club scene attracts people into the area and provides employment opportunities for local people. It is very sad that two teenagers died of suspected drug overdoses recently but I don't believe you can hold a nightclub responsible for that. Over eighty thousand people attend Fabric over the course of one year and the majority of them do not take drugs. I hope the Met, Fabric and yourselves can come up with a sensible approach that protects clubbers safety and the future of the club. Kind regards From: To: Licensing Subject: Pleasepleaseplease Date: 24 August 2016 15:33:53 Fabric means the world to me and so many others. As a DJ/ Producer and creative I can't imagine my life without the club and brand. From being involved in the club behind the scenes as a performer and as a punter; I can't honestly say the club does all it can to ensure the safety of all who enter. When speaking to anyone abroad about dance music venues in England, the first place spoken of is Fabric. By all means do what needs to be done to make the club safer if possible, but closing it just can't be an option. Please. From: To: Licensing Subject: Save Fabric. Date: 24 August 2016 15:33:26 To whom this may concern. I’m taking a moment out of my day to content you in regards to the recent temporary closure of Fabric Nightclub in London due to the tragic deaths of two 18 year olds released to drug overdoses, one inside and one outside of the clubs premises.
