INTERVIEWS: JEFF DERRINGER OF OCTAVE
Although hardly a household name amongst Techno heads as of yet, with his Perc Trax debut “Tarantula” out this week, Oktave’s Jeff Derringer is heading into 2011 with the afterburners on full. A former indie rock drummer who made the jump to producing and eventually DJing Techno some six years ago, Jeff, along with Oktave partner Kevin Gregor, has immersed himself fully in multiple facets of the scene. With his move from NYC back to his hometown of Chicago, he’s taken up the mission of spreading American Techno through education, promotion, marketing and networking… but mostly through making and playing quality music and putting on great artistically uncompromising events. halcyon’s Techno beat reporter Albert Freeman took some time to chat with Jeff about the long, hard road, its twists and turns, and what the crystal ball has in store…
halcyon: So let’s start at the beginning Jeff. How and when did you become interested in DJing and especially production?
JD: I’ve been interested in production for a lot longer than DJing. I’ve been making and recording music for about 20 years. It’s only in the last 6 years or so that I’ve been interested in producing dance music, and in particular Techno. I was originally a drummer, so you could call that my native instrument. I think that makes me a better producer, it gives me a feel for rhythm and polyrhythm, but I’m basically a writer at heart. I’ve only been doing Techno for 6 years, and since then I’ve been getting into DJing. [Read More]

NEWS: MARCUS VISIONARY-HUMBLE LP-LIONDUB INTERNATIONAL
The real deal finally arrives! Marcus Visionary’s latest album, released on his own Liondub International imprint, serves as a rich tapestry weaving together the Toronto native’s musical influences, which range from jungle and drum and bass to reggae and dub. Featuring guest appearance from the likes of the legendary Sugar Minott, Johnny Osbourne, Kandiman, Bunny General, Jahdan and Messenger Selah, there is plenty of old school, dub heavy jungle fire brought to the table here, all mixed down impeccably and presented in an original groundbreaking style.
PURCHASE THE HUMBLE LP AND GET A FREE 28 TRACK MIX BY MARCUS VISIONARY INCLUDING EXCLUSIVES, DUBPLATES, REMIXES AND UPCOMING RELEASES FROM LIONDUB INTERNATIONAL at HERE
Born and raised in the city of Toronto, Marcus Visionary has helped shape the city’s scene and sound since the early 90s. His first love is jungle / drum & bass but he has deep roots in reggae, dub and bass music in general. With a new album out combining all his musical loves, we got in touch to find out all about it.
Tell us about Liondub International, the NYC based ragga label, and the Humble album you’re releasing on it?
I co-run Liondub International with Eric Wise, aka DJ Liondub, out of Brooklyn NYC. We feature all styles of bass culture music but focus mainly on jungle and dubstep. We also have Liondub 45 which is a reggae / dub label.
I met Liondub a few years back when he came to Toronto to DJ. He told me about his links to Jamaican artists and we set a plan in order to create a label that works directly with Jamaican artists.
Humble is the first reggae / dub / dancehall influenced jungle LP we’ll be putting out. We decided to put out two EPs spread over five or six months in order to promote the LP which will be dropping January 3rd 2011.
The music on this album project as very dancefloor friendly and heavily influenced by Jamaican dancehall and soundsystem vibes, but how do you describe your own tracks, and what kind of “genres” would you say they belong to?
The Humble LP is a tribute to reggae / dancehall and dub influenced jungle. When I first heard jungle in 91/92 I was drawn to the reggae and dub influences in the music. I had always hoped to one day work with original Jamaican singers and deejays without having to sample them illegally. This LP is the first step in that direction. [Read More]

NEWS: NEW TRON LOOKS A LOT LIKE THE PAST
By Seth Schiesel – NY Times
You’ve Googled yourself, right?
Like it or not, there’s a digital you out there. In fact almost every aspect of your life is probably reflected in some computer somewhere. You could say that information, that data, has a life of its own. If you have anything to do with modern society, you are no longer a purely biological, analog being.
The idea that a person could be represented inside a computer both thrilled and frightened me when I first saw “Tron” in the summer of 1982, when I was 9 and just starting to get into computers. As incredible as it may seem now, my friends and I would buy magazines that published short programs in Basic code. The ones we cared about were games, and I would enter them by hand into my Commodore VIC-20. Unlike kids today, we had no ability to create films or Web sites. But we could make little games, and we did. [Read More]

NEWS: ROCKING A CRADLE OF A EXPERIMENTAL THEATER
By Ben Brantley – NY Times
It was almost exactly 16 years ago that I made my first visit to La MaMa in a professional capacity, as a new theater critic for The New York Times. I’d been there before as a civilian, usually under the influence. (I believe it was where I first saw a foghorn-throated drag queen named Harvey Fierstein.) But even then La MaMa had for me the whiff of another time, the patchouli scent of the 1960s, when downtown theater was longhaired, renegade and rude.
I wasn’t around for that heady heyday of La MaMa, the willful, playful brainchild of Ellen Stewart, who died on Thursday. Yet what I saw in the East Village theater that January night in 1994 turned out to be not only absolutely of the moment but also of the future. It was a rough-hewn, rowdy, dirty little play called“Stitches,” put on by a brother-and-sister team that presumptuously called itself the Talent Family. Their real names? David and Amy Sedaris.

NEWS: YOUNG OUTER BOROUGH DANCE LABELS
By Andy Beta – The Village Voice
William T. Burnett, a bespectacled thirtysomething with parted blond hair and a shoulder slouch befitting a drummer, pushes a handcart stacked four boxes high with vinyl records toward the back of the Thing, the monstrous Manhattan Avenue thrift store where he works part-time, dumping them in a corner already overloaded with such stacks and heading out to grab another load. Burnett is a busy man: He releases idiosyncratic analog dance music under names like Grackle, Speculator, and Galaxy Toobin’; DJs on Internet station Newtown Radio; and runs the Pentatonic Guitars shop in Greenpoint. He also operates his own record label, appropriately titled WT. Not all of these activities are making him money right now.
“Right now, I think I am a couple thousand in debt,” Burnett estimates of his label endeavor, in a drawl reflecting his South Texas upbringing. “But one day I will get back to even.” Lucrative business plan or not, like many local DJs and dance-music producers in New York City, he opted to release the music of friends and acquaintances, and in turn get them to release his own productions, rather than waiting for someone else to do it all for them.

NEWS: MOMA’S NOT DEAD
By Roberta Smith – NY Times
WHEN I walk through the Museum of Modern Art these days, it sometimes feels as if the place has come back from the dead — even if I’m not always so crazy about the life it happens to be leading. There’s often a confusing, disjunctive quality to it, especially where contemporary art is concerned, as the museum’s programming lurches from crowd-drawing, performance-art spectacles in the atrium to relatively dry and didactic exhibitions in its galleries. But at least there’s a pulse.
The museum feels much, much more animated than it did back in 2005 and ’06, when it — and we — were first adjusting to its slick new home on West 53rd Street. That structure, designed by Yoshio Taniguchi and built at a cost of $425 million, opened in November 2004, and over the next two years it appeared to many depressed MoMA watchers that we were witnessing nothing less than a major museum’s suicide by architecture.

NEWS: LOBRARY OF CONGRESS GETS A MILES OF MUSIC
By Larry Pohter – NY Times
The Library of Congress has begun taking possession of a huge donation of recordings, some 200,000 metal, glass and lacquer master discs from the period 1926 to 1948 that have been languishing in the subterranean vaults of Universal Music Group, the largest music conglomerate in the United States.
The bequest, which is to be formally announced on Monday, contains music representing every major genre of American popular song of that era — jazz, blues, country and the smooth pop of the pre-rock-’n’-roll period — as well as some light classical and spoken-word selections. One historic highlight is the master recording of Bing Crosby’s 1947 version of “White Christmas,” which according to Guinness World Records is the best-selling single of all time. [Read More]

NEWS: JANUARY TOP 5 VINYL GOOD RECORDS NYC
1. Jim Sullivan – U.F.O. – Light In The Attic
Long-anticipated reissue of this very rare and obscure rural rock LP. Words fail to describe it accurately – it’s a little bit psychedelic, there’s a folk influence, country vibes, and Sullivan’s yearning voice and mystical songwriting is backed by Earl Palmer and crew, the same band that played sessions for David Axelrod and others at Capitol Records. The result is a sound that’s as professional as it is unorthodox. Sullivan sings of mysterious cities and UFO kidnappings. Fittingly, he drove off to seek his fortunes and disappeared into the ether, leaving his car in the desert and his guitar in a hotel room.
2. Rahni Harris & The Family Love – A Different Drummer – Emprise
Independent label gospel-soul LP out of New Jersey. Shimmering, mellow keyboard-, vibes- and marimba-led ballads and midtempo grooves that recall groups like the Stylistics, or the Sylvers. The messages are spiritual but not so explicit as to turn anyone off. Just a beautiful record, and tough to find.
3. Raw Dope Posse – Listen To My Turbo – Show Jazz
Doc Delay said, “this is everything you like about rap, in one record”. He’s right – a perfect example of hardcore hip-hop. The beat is manic: Mantronix-inspired rapidfire snare programming, some bells, a spliced telephone busy signal, a scratched horn break, and the vocal science is delivered with utmost swagger and precision. If this came out yesterday, it would still sound ahead of its time. Known and sought-after for years, but still a tough pull.
4. George Braith – Musart – Prestige
One of my favorite jazz LPs. Braith started out on the Blue Note label, leading several modal sessions that are all great and worth seeking out. He developed an expertise in playing two horns at the same time, much like Rahsaan Roland Kirk, although he tended to use the technique more melodically than Kirk did. He cut one mediocre record on Prestige, “Laughing Soul”, a somewhat cheesy soul jazz outing, before recording this. But something must have clicked, because this 1966 release takes the beautiful modal horn work of his Blue Note recordings and marries it to a lush, tropical, latin-flavored sound that – though it’s mellow – never crosses into chintzy lounge territory. It sounds like a dream, somewhere between Harlem’s 125th Street and Disney’s The Jungle Book.
5. William Onyeabor – Tomorrow – Wilfilms
A perfect piece of wigged out afro funk. Onyeabor was a successful businessman in Nigeria and built himself his own recording studio, seemingly outfitted with every synth, drum machine, and cutting edge recording device available. He pressed his own records, and allegedly made his own movies. On vinyl, he was extremely prolific – and this LP finds him in my favorite style of his, a spaced out disco vibe that doesn’t quit. Quite desirable and never turns up except in Nigeria – a unique Good Records NYC exclusive.
