The Maineditor (the raver) has a new job and has got little time to do something for H.I.M. Sorry for that! H.I.M will be from now on a monthly magazine with: - House party list (montly update) - Club info - and info about house styles! The only thing that's going to be updated every month is the House Party list. Al the other info will be updated if we have time for it! You can still send us info for the House party list or club list, but to a different number: +31 (0)340267278 The Household / EFFECT WHQ Leave mail to : The raver or The fox ][ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Another change is that the maineditor (the raver) is no longer a Reality member, He has joined Effect!!

It was opened in november 1993 and has become one of the best house clubs in germany. They present very often guest DJs from all over the world (England and USA, concerning house :-) some of them were Hazel B, Paul Evans, ... The local DJs are Ali (the owner of the club), Christian and Sebastian Thursday Open from 23:00 to 6:00 this is the techno day of red dog. Friday & Saturday Open from 23:00 to 6:00 (9:00 on saturday) (The club is empty until 3:00). This is the best place to listen to house music in the whole area around Stuttgart. You can listen to all the different styles of house and sometimes even some of the new acid tracks. The DJs are very good and sometimes they even show it, if they are in the mood. The crowed is mixed and you can find a lot of gay people here too. To bad that it is so "en vogue" to go to the red dog, so there are a lot of people just standing around to be seen and to see all the "important" people of Stuttgart here. Anyway, if you are in Stuttgart visit this club it is worth it. ADDRESS: ??? __ Oz The Oz is the best and oldest techno club of Stuttgart. A lot of ravers started their raving here (including me) and every weekend people from Frankfurt, Ludwigshafen, Munich, Freiburg, ... are travelling long distances just to feel this atmosphere. Resident DJ is Comander Tom (Noom Records), before there were Marco Zaffarano (Harthouse) and Mike Schmidt (Cybordelics). Its not possible to mention all the guest DJs from all over the world, including Sven Vaeth, Tanith, DAG, ... and Live Acts like Hardhouse... so if you don't know Oz, come and see it. The room is a cellar, it is very dark, the walls are painted black and the light jockey uses a lot of fog and few lights. They got a very good laser systems (in fact on of my friends only goes to Oz because of the laser). The sound system is very good too (at least it is loud). It is very dirty, because the sweat condenses (sp?) on the air condition and drops down on the heads of the ravers. The toilets are only clean the first 5 hours, but at least you can alway get cool water here. Entrance is 10DM. Coca Cola 5DM. If you are younger than 18 years, you are not allowed to enter the club until 6:00 in the morning. They let everybody in, there is no fashion or face check (sometimes I think this is a disadvantage, there are lots of nerds) Saturday Open from 21:00 to 12:00. I think the Oz is the only club in germany that is open that long. The crowed is mixed, from normal people at the beginning of the evening to raving freak at the end. The best time to arrive is about 4:00 in the morning. The music is very progressive, Sunday Open from 15:00 to 3:00. Yes, after three hours the Oz opens again, so you can spend your whole weekend here. Other Sometimes there are special events in the holidays or if Sven Vaeth finds his way to Stuttgart. In the day the coffee of Oz is open.

Digital Druid said that on days when it is not busy you can sample the records before you buy them. WASHINGTON D.C. Music Now M St. NW (Metro 30/32/34/36/38b busses) (Near the corner of Wisconsin and M St, Georgetown) (between Pizerria Uno and the Body Shop) comments: Music Now has a decent selection of 12"s and CD which you can listen to both of them. The store is also connected to Bohemia (rave-cloathing store) and has a chill out area. There are some 3 1200's out and i haven't had to wait for a listen yet, and can listen to as many as i want. YOu can also ask whoever is working to listen to the music over the sound system in the store. Music Now has a notorious reputation for hoarding their music for well known dj's as well as snobby workers, but i think it is a reputation that has changed alot. The people who work there arn't particularly friendly but they are helpful and are willing to pick out records when you ask them for recommendations. And with the new store there is even a better selection (which isn't saying a lot) as well as a fresh start (hopefully:) 12" Dance Records 2010 P St, NW, 2nd Floor(Dupont Circle Metro/Red) (202) 659-2010 comments: this store has hundreds and hundreds of 12" and a very good selection of CD comps. Prices are not that bad. Have many old records. House Music seems to be more their fortay then techno, and their 12" selection of techno doesn't seem that large, but, i heard they have a special bin near the door with some tracks (esp. breakbeat). The atmosphere is cool with usually someone spinning on the tables. You are able to listen to up to six records at a time on the self serve tables (There are two of them) or have the dj spin your record over the sound system in the store Tower Records 2000 Pennsylvania NW (Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro/Blue-Orange) comments: Tower has a very large selection of 12" at decent prices. Look through their selections any you will find some treats. Have some nice compilations on vinyl also. Their CD comps selection is not all that great, but their CD collection is big. there are some great tracks, and if you cant find it, ask cause they might have it stored underneath. the people who work there are friendly, and finding a tracks that is slightly POP-ular is a good bet. Tower Records Rockville Pike - Rockville, MD Has a nice selection of Techno comps on CD and a decent selection. Rockville used to have a very good selection of 12" also but recently the decision was made to get rid of the selection so it is gone. Prices are the same as at other Tower's in the area. FREDRICKSBURG, VA CD Jungle Fredericksburg, VA - Address unknown From Derek Tiffany: CDs only, and a great selection of them. For Techno, lots of great compilations, although a bit weak on solo artists works. Prices are $11.99 domestic, $17.99 Imports (cash). Bit higher on credit. Oh yah, bootlegs available too.

In general practice, a "rave" usually refers to a party, usually all night long, open to the general public, where loud "techno" music is mostly played and many people partake in a number of different chemicals, though the latter is far from necessary. The number of people at the event is unimportant; it can range from 50 people to 25,000 people. The cost of attendance is also unimportant - there have been good raves and bad raves at both ends of the cost spectrum (though in practice, the higher the price, the more commercial the event, and the lower the quality). At a rave, the DJ is a shaman, a priest, a channeller of energy - they control the psychic voyages of the dancers through his choice in hard-to-find music and their skill in anipulating that music, sometimes working with just a set of beats and samples, into a tapestry of mindbending music. A large part of the concept of raves is built upon sensory overload - a barrage of audio and very often visual timuli are brought together to elevate people into an altered state of physical or psychological existence. |CE| |CBDF| The Different Forms of House: "techno music" Opinions on this vary greatly, but there are a few ways to distinguish techno from other types of music. Overall, techno is denoted by its slavish devotion to _the_beat_, the use of rhythm as a hypnotic tool. It is also distinguished by being primarily, and in most cases entirely, created by electronic means. It is also noted for its lack of vocals in most cases. Techno also usually falls in the realm of 115-160BPM. There are of course xceptions to every one of these rules, but these guidelines seem to survive the "what about..." test most of the time. There has also been a significant use of samples in techno songs, samples ifted in huge blocks and contributing a large share to a song's popularity. This can be both bad ("Theme to Sesame Street" in Smart E's "Sesame's Treet") or good (Star Trek transporters sampled in Eden Transmission's "I'm So High", giving YOU that transporting feeling) or great (Tears for Fears sampled in Orbital's "Moebius"). This sampling has generated much controversy, and it is the opinion of the author and many others that sampling is okay as long as the sample is not the whole song; "Seseme's Treet" might be an okay song, but if you take away the sample (which was lifted verbatim from the TV show), you don't have much of a song left. "Rave" music has several different forms: a. (Chicago) House House music is where it all began, when Chicago DJ's started playing around with their Kraftwerk 12"'s with their soul records, and a brand new object called a DRUM MACHINE which they discovered they could use in their set. The steady and clean sound of the house rhythm coupled with uplifting soul vocals gave "house parties" an incredible energy. House also uses more piano riffs and generally sounds "happier" than most other forms of music played at raves. Good Examples: Best of House Music, Vol. 1, 2 (Gotta Have House), and 3 (House Music All Night Long) Aly-us "Follow Me" b. Acid-House Acid-house developed when the Roland 303 and similar drum machines/synthesizers came out producing the "funky worm" - that VERY distinctive sound that just *sounds* liquid. The sound and the style is linked to use of LSD, but many people claim to feel many of the same sensations while listening to acid-house music. Others claim this is wrong, that acid was a term derived in Chicago for stealing samples from other records, i.e. the "acid burn". Still others claim this was a rumor created by people defending the scene in Britain, trying to unlink the party scene from the drug scene. Good Examples: House Hallucinates Pump Up the World Vol. 1 (A&M CD 3928) Adamski - Liveanddirect (MCA MCAD-6454) Maurice - This is Acid and more recently, more in the vein of acid trance: Hardfloor - TB Rescusitation Anything on Labworks c. Techno It is probably best to split techno into three groups - proto-techno, Detroit techno, hardcore, and "techno-rave". c.1. Proto-Techno: Proto-Techno isn't really a style of music per se. It's merely a concatenation of the various artists and styles that had the biggest impact on the original creators of techno in Detroit. Hence, there isn't much stylistic homogeneity here. Proto-Techno can be anything from the minimal, assembly-line technopop of Kraftwerk (particularly the 'Trans-Europe Express' album) to the nonsense, party-time funk-taken-to-its-illogical- extreme of George Clinton's Parliament /Funkadelic to the early '80's hip-hop mongrelization of the two in the Electro genre. Examples: Kraftwerk: "Neon Lights" Parliament: "Flash Light" Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force: "Planet Rock" Cybotron: "Clear" Kraftwerk: 'Trans-Europe Express' (Capitol CDP 7 46473 2) Kraftwerk: 'Computer World' (Elektra 9 3549-2) Parliament: 'Parliament's Greatest Hits: Uncut Funk/The Bomb' (PolyGram 822 637-2) Various: 'Street Jams: Electric Funk Vol. 1' (Rhino R2 70575) c.2. Detroit Techno: The hallmarks of Detroit Techno are a stripped-down, aggressive funk sound, played mostly on analogue instruments (the Roland TR-808 is a favorite drum machine), and, most of all, a pounding, severe rhythm. Vocals are rare. It has no "soul" in the traditional Motown/Stax sense of the word, which is not to say that the music is devoid of feeling or emotion - it's just that the expression thereof is unconventional. "Magic" Juan Atkins, Kevin "Reese" Saunderson, and Derrick "Mayday" May are the names you need to know to fake your way through a conversation about Detroit Techno. Examples: Inner City: "Big Fun" Rhythim Is Rhythim: "Nude Photo" Various: 'Retro Techno/Detroit Definitive: Emotions Electric' (Network UK RETROCD1) Various: 'Techno One and Two: Electronic Dance' (Ten UK DIXCD 123) Derrick May: "The Innovator" c.3. Hardcore Techno: Where Detroit stuff is mainly a hybrid of European technopop and funk, your average Hardcore song seems to be a speed-metal tune played on Detroit-type instruments (although the TR-909 is the drum machine of choice). Hardcore Techno is easier to get up and hyped to than its Detroit counterpart. Hardcore has brought much of the metal crowd into dance music, and reconciled dance parties with the industrial crowd as well. Examples: Tresor Compilations Vol. 2 "Lock on Target" by Disintegrator [Industrial Strength] Industrial Strength Records Comp "Cosmic Trash" by DJ Dano [Mokum] Various: 'Turn Up the Bass: The House Party/The Ultimate Megamix 2' (Arcade Benelux 01 6720 61) (Weak mixing, but it contains one-to-two-minute sections of nearly 50 songs, giving perhaps the best overview of the hallmarks of the style available on a single disc) c.4. Techno/Rave: Techno as product. When people complain about "techno by the numbers," they sually mean Techno/Rave. This style is generally soft and accessible. You are much more likely to have a rap or other vocal in a Techno/Rave track than either a Detroit or Hardcore track. Examples include 2 Unlimited, the Smart E's, and recent efforts by the Shamen. What MC Hammer is to hip-hop, what Winger is to heavy metal, Techno/Rave is to Hardcore. Examples: The Shamen: "LSI" 2 Unlimited: "Twilight Zone" The Movement: "Jump" Various: 'The Ultimate Rave' (EMI/Virgin/PolyGram UK CDP 798641 2) Various: 'Rave 'til Dawn' (SBK K2-80070) d. Breakbeat Breakbeat is symbolized by the use of sped-up hip-hop beat samples. Very often eggae tunes and influence are brought in, to good effect too since most reggae is around 65-80bpm and most breakbeat techno about twice that. Breakbeat is very effective at getting the crowd moving, but its hypnotic effects are somewhat less. Examples: Jungle: Johnny Jungle EP D.M.S. - "S.O.S." SL2 - "On A Ragga Tip" Phuture Assassins - "Roots N Future" DarK: Metalheads - "Terminator" Nasty Habits - "Here Come The Drums" Rufige Cru - "Darkrider" Ballad: Fabio - "Ghost In My Life" Acen - "Window In the Sky" e. Ambient Basically ambient (or ambient house) is designed to lull your mind through more soothing rhythms and samples. Good Sample: The Orb: U.F.Orb (Big Life/Mercury 314 513 749-2) Amorphous Androgynous: Tales of Ephidrina (Astralwerks ASW 6101) Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works (R&S BE AMB CD 3922) f. Trance Very similar to both ambient and acid-house, trance is softer on the ears and body than most techno, but still keeps you dancing (unlike most ambient, where the effects are more profound if you SIT DOWN and listen). It's designed to try and take you, literally, into another world. Examples: Eden Transmission - "I'm So High" on Exist-Dance. "Stella" by Jam 'n Spoon Any of the "Trance" comps, or anything on Guerilla A variant (or sub-genre) of this is hardtrance, which is currently very popular in the underground all over Europe. Characteristics, higher beat (c. 150 bpm), compulsory 303 sounds and string layers. Examples: Almost anything on Harthouse label (Overboust, Progressive Attack) Ramin: Vol III Sextant: Part of the Scene g. Tribal Tribal is denoted by exactly that - rhythm patterns and sounds which closely mimic Third-World and Native American and other "World Music" styles. The connection between modern-day raving and ancient musical and cultural rituals is thus established, and the dancer can be transported to a more primal self (in theory). Examples: Studio X - Los Kings Del Mambo, 808 State - Reaper Repo h. Progressive This is the newest and least-well-defined genre; it's based less on sampling, less on wailing divas, and less on hip-hop culture, and more on authentic instruments, haunting melodies, and always around 120-125bpm. There's always a strong beat, and at times it resembles acid jazz. The appelation of "progressive" was given by a music magazine, so many people wouldn't call it that, but so far no other name has come to replace it, and it is fairly different from straight house. This is the most popular music at raves in San Francisco right now. Examples: "Cry Freedom" by Mombassa, "Mighty Ming" by Brother Love Dubs The Trance compilations vols. 1-3 Ritmo De Vidaa: Taboo Otaku: Percussion Obsession React 2 Rhythm: I Know you like it React 2 Rhythm: Intoxication D.O.P.: Groovy Beat Labels: Guerilla, Limbo, Soma, Hubba Hubba h. Deep House Deep house is a style of house most prominently influenced by a combination of gospel and old chicago strictly house beats. Look for wailing divas (I love them!) spooky organs and that old chord progression that we know and love. Deep house never nods in techno's direction..ever.. Examples: Can't Trust Nobody - Sloppy Check out anything on Strictly Rhythm Records. The shelter club's theme song Ten City, My Piece of Heaven |CE| |CBTN| Creating techno music a. E-quipment Roland Roland produced a series of electronic instruments in the early 80's all with three character names. There's the 101 synth, the 303 bass line sequencer (popular for acid house), the 505 drum machine (the 505 is one of the first drum machines to use PWM samples for creation of drum sounds) there's a 707 drum machine and the 727 . the 727 features latin noises instead of the normal drum kit (miami sound machine uses a lot of 727 sounds) the 808 drum machine has that big beautiful whooooommmmmm kick associated with early house (not to mention drippy sustained highhat noises and snares). the 909 is a midiable pounding drum machine, it kicks. it's used in hardcore techno; the majority of hardcore bands I've seen live have a simple 3 part setup, some sort of sampler workstation/sequencer hooked up to a 909 and then the 909 syncs the 303. some even bring a dat machine along for backing tracks. MC-202 The Roland MC-202 is a microcomposer, which means that you can program songs into it. It saves to tape. It has sync and CV-gate but no MIDI. It makes some of the best bass sounds, comparable to nothing. It produces a rounder sound than the 303 (which is a bit squelchy) and the 101 (which is a bit noisy). N-Joi and The Prodigy have stuff use the 202. (N-Joi used it in their "Live in manchester" album. and The Prodigy used it in the bassline of "Everybody's in the Place.") Basic setup well the basic set-up is any computer that can be plugged into some drivers including keyboard, drum machine, sampler, sequencer, and fm modulators. NeXTS, Macs and Amiga's seem to be the choice, largely because it has dedicated sound and video chips, so the cpu can be used for everything else. Here's a list of the most used synths: Korg wave station Yamaha sy77 and sy99 Roland TR-727 (latin) Roland TR-808 (techno) Roland TR-909 (hardcore) Roland MC-202 Roland SH-101 Roland TB-303 M-1 Prophet Roland Juno 1,2 Roland Juno 106 Roland JV-880 (with vintage synth board) Roland JD-800 Emu Procussion |CE| |CBRT| ======================================================================== Radio and TV Shows ======================================================================== Radio Shows ----------- Alien Air Waves - 88.9fm KXLU.
