  1. I have this tendency of losing the first beat on more and more electronic tracks I listen to lately and it's bugging me. I know I'm off and sometimes I can get back on the 'one' or I just give up. Anyone else have this problem? Here are some prominent examples that have haunted me for years:

     

    Aphex 'Acrid Avid Jam Shred' - The one should be when the first closed hihat kicks in, but I'm always counting the first open hihat as the first beat of the bar. I can't shake it off and I feel I've always listened to this track incorrectly:

    That happened to me when Richard mixed Acrid Avid Jam Shred in at ATP LA 2002. It was mixing in and I was totally off. It was really rad. I thought for a while it was some fucked up version of it, but then I finally got on to the 1. Still amazing! I have a recording of it and haven't been able to reproduce the effect for myself yet.

  2. Saw Jack recently do a live thing in San Francisco as part of DHS (Ben Stokes a long time collaborator), and he was mad on the video sampler. Tiny little gig but cool as hell. Was a release party for a new Stokes EP. EP is kinda loungey stuff but the performance wasn't that at all. As much visual as audio, seeing as that's what Ben does for a living. This was pre this Kasm 10" coming out. I sat right next to Jack for part of it and didn't even ask if he had anything coming out. Probably because I didn't expect it. Last I heard from him was the Test EP/The Forger, which I LOVED!

  3. is anyone else aware Jack Dangers regained his publishing rights from Wax Trax / TVT in the 00s, and has again reissued his old albums (digitally this time) under a new banner, MBM Records? Similar to how FSOL finally started their own independent label circa 2007. Included titles:

     

    Storm the Studio (Remastered)

    Armed Audio Warfare (Remastered)

    R.U.O.K?

    ...In Dub

    Archive Things

     

    I just saw them release under Run Records which was what RUOK? came out on in the US. 2003 editions was the last I saw.

    San Francisco and Skam have a bit of history.

    they do? clue me in pls

     

    i think Jega lived or still lives in california, but southern not northern

    Well original label to put out the Skampler was a label called Silent which was SF based, and MBM have been on Skam before with a split 12" with The Mellowtrons.

     

    Jega lives in Venice Beach doing CGI.

    interesting, there is virtually zero trace of any bay area centric idm except for maybe Tigerbeat 6. had no idea about this Silent label (checks out)

    Also, not to do w/ Skam, but Jonah Sharp was the first to bring Plaid and I think Mike P to the Bay back in the day. Reflective Records was pretty IDM.
