The Frenz - Psychomagik ep(re-up)

Due to the fact that a lot of this material is a bit dated for me already you will not see a proper release till the later in the summer to make way for the other ep's and The Blixaboy record. So enjoy it for free while you can . Melodica and getting ready to play in Glenn Branca's 100 guitar symphony in Seattle next month kind of threw my life off schedule. Enjoy anyways. Cheers!!!

this is a 160kbps version

The Frenz remix Radiohead......Vote for our mix!!!!

check out our radiohead remix and if you dig it.....give us a vote. We decided to take a Dubstep meets Brubeck approach. Daniel and I(Wanz) spent the afternoon playing Piano and Flute with my laptop and we came up with this little diddy. The remix really takes off in the second half. I had to edit it down to under 5 minutes for the contest. Our version was actually around 8 minutes. The full version will be on an upcoming A Stereo on Strike mixtape. Enjoy. Cheers!!!!

Klaus Dinger R.I.P.!!!!!

I remember the first time I saw this Kraftwerk Beat Club footage. My bandmate had a vhs bootleg of a bunch of Beat Club performances. I was already into Neu and La Dusseldorf at the time, but I had never actually seen any krautrock footage at the time.that bootleg tape had CAN, zappa, Captain beefheart, Velvet underground and of course an early version of kraftwerk with Klaus Dinger on the Drums, Michael Rother on Guitar and Florian Schneider-Esselben. Rother and Dinger left Kraftwerk to form the infamous "Neu". I was a Neu fan for years before I even knew they were actually a band. One of my favorite songs on Ciccone Youth(Sonic Youth side project) was "2 cool rock chicks listening to Neu". A few years later I actually heard my first neu Bootleg. The repetiton, the moterik beat, the doney guitars. Klaus's solo efforts as La Dusseldorf were just as great. In the mid 90's you could throw a rock and hit a drummer playing a "neu" beat. He will be missed.

Stereo on Strike Mixtape #13: Wanz Dover - Oneway ticket to Berlin

something Old ....Jeff Mills live at SONAR:


something new...One of my favorite new techno acts EFDEMIN:



I will be here this summer:


I have been in hermit mode after pretty much pushing myself past physical limits working my ass off for our little festival a few weeks ago. After months of putting my own music to the side I am feeling rejuvenated and more creative than ever. This mixtape was done awhile ago, but never got an official posting. This mixtape is special to me in many ways. It really shows where I am at and where I am heading as a producer and DJ. This is also the last mixtape from me that will not feature my own music in the mix. Not just remixes. Get ready for a flood of new music that will be posted over the next few weeks from a variety of projects and aliases. I hope you enjoy "Oneway ticket to Berlin". Cheers!!!!

FROM DISCOGS:

Gerard Hanson was born in 1972. He hails from the unlikely environments of Dallas, Texas USA. Little is known about this producer who seems to have Scandinavian roots. His productions have reflections with Basic Channel/Chain Reaction sound. His main inspirations are Juan Atkins and Derrick May. His music also has influences from Stefan Robbers, Red Planet and Carl Craig. He found a way where everything came together: Deepness, Minimalism and Soul, the Detroit-Berlin connection. In 1994 Gerard Hanson and Dan Kurzius started ‘Hardsync’, a Magazine dedicated to electronic music reviews and artist interviews. It has been defunct since 1996 as a result of a computer crash. Hard Sync was an outlet for several Texas-based electronic music enthusiasts to reach out to others around the world that shared similar musical interests. He released his first 12" in 1995. Ever since his debut 12" on Matrix in 1995. From 1995-1997, he released 5 ep’s, and then only 2 more in the next 6 years until 2005. The reason he produced so infrequently was because when his first releases came out, the tracks were licensed to some big releasers and he did not get paid for them. After that some other labels approached him but just wanted more of the same and didn't really seem to understand his sound. They just wanted more of the same sounds. After that he stopped releasing music and produced only for his personal usage. After a couple of years the label Down Low convinced him to pick up his producing again. He is very careful about sharing his music with the rest of the world. In the last decade he only used the aliases Convextion and E.R.P. (Event Related Potential). E.R.P is an electro-edged moniker. Gerard has remained willingly anonymous since his debut in 1995, but he came out of obscurity for a debut European Live performance in London in April 2006. Why he remains unknown is a mystery. In the future we will hear much more from this producer.

Convextion review of his self titled record

If you've been raised on a diet of Basic Channel, Maurizio, Deep Chord, Carl Craig, Model 500 and so on, no doubt this album will have been top of your wishlist for the last decade. Gerard Hanson, aka Convextion, has allowed only four EP's baring his name to be given a release since his seminal debut twelve dropped on the Matrix label all the way back in 1996. That's a measly 11 tracks in ten years - and what tracks..some of the finest, most soulful Techno ever produced. To suddenly be given 8 new tracks from the guy could hardly be more exciting - coupled with the hightened activity over at Berlin's Hardwax and all its connections to the hallowed Basic Channel, plus the first rumblings of new material from Rod Modell's Deep Chord, 2006 may just end up being remembered as the year Techno went way deep again.

MELODICA FEATURE: Yells at Eels/Akkolyte/Life-Death Continuum(The Gonzalez family)

Yells it at eels is Dennis Gonzalez with his two sons Stefan and Aaron Gonzalez. One of the few free-, ethnic-, and improvisational-jazz groups in the North Texas region. Amazing since they hail from the same region as the likes of Ornette Coleman, Charles Moffett, Ronald Shannon Jackson, and Prince Lasha. They started playing in 1999 and are still going strong. So far they have released three CD's, the debut cd entitled "Home", a double disk titled "Pictogram/Home Away From Home", and the most recent release, called "Geografia. Yells at Eells is by far one of the most overlooked outstanding acts in the area. If One incredible ensemble was not enough Stefan and Aaron also play avant grindcore whatnot as Akkolyte. Aaron is also playing with his band Life Death Continuum on friday at melodica. Dennis and stefan will be sitting in with Subkommander on the same night. I could gush about how incredible this family is, but I would be better off letting the music speak for itself.

MELODICA FEATURE: THE FRENZ - PSYCHOMAGIK EP (VERSION 1.0)

For those that don't know The Frenz started out as a project to gather all of my favorite studio experiments of the past 10 years and bring them together under one umbrella of music. I ended up with enough material to fill 6 ep's that will come out over the first half of this year. In the studio so far I have done the bulk of the work, but in the live context we have solidified into a "real" band bringing new life to all of the material. I imagine the next batch of material that we record as a band will push the vision even farther.

I have had a lot of trouble getting this record mastered correctly. It was supposed to be ready a month ago. Since Melodica is this week I decided to post a pre release version of the "Psychomagik" ep. It may sound a little different after it has been properly mastered and I have a nasty habit of changing things up to the last minute so I doubt the CD/vinyl version will sound just like this, but this is pretty close. Enjoy the music and enjoy the festival. Cheers!!!

MELODICA FEATURE: DRAGONMAN

DragonMan got hooked onto electronic music right about the turn of the millenium, listening to The Crystal Method and old Radio1 Oakenfold essential mixes... Now-a-days, after a long journey thru trance, breaks, D'n'B, and the depths of Aphex Twin-style EDM, he has stumbled upon "Dubstep". After listening to DJ's such as Joe Nice, Mary Anne-Hobbs and N-type throughout '05/'06 he bought his first batch of tunes and hasn't stopped since... In Sep '06, he began broadcasting weekly on a UK-based garage station, Rampage Radio, as the only dubstep contributor. Shortly after he began a 2nd show on Belgium-based Reload Radio. By May '07, he was offered a slot on SUBFM, UK's highest rated dubstep-only station and voted Best Radio Station of 2007 by the dubstep community. DragonMan now aims to get the heavy beats, bass and boom of dubstep out into DFW via his monthly at The Absinthe Lounge, sets at Dub Assembly events, house parties or whereever else has a mighty enough soundsystem for all the bass weight!!
