Michel Mayer (head of KOMPAKT):

"Sometimes I love only a loop, very minimal like Studio 1, for example, was an idea for a loop. There weren’t many changes within the music but these days we prefer a special idea, something you can recognise like a signal, a sample, a vocal - whatever makes a track special or a rhythmic construction that is different from anything we had before.

Studio 1 was a label done by Wolfgang Voigt,and by Mike Ink: 10 records which had nothing written on them besides Studio 1 and it was a concert series of 10 records. They also had like very reduced, very groovy stuff like this. Studio 1 and Profan was the state of experimentation of reducing it to the max and trying to find this different groove. While today everything is experimented. There is no sound, no groove, which hasn’t been tested yet in a way within the four bass drums. So now the mission must be different from what it was five years ago. We look for a different form of excitement, which can be produced [the way] a trance record functions, more in a mental state or like a hard tool or a soft, emulated record. All the variety of music which got lost in the reduction we did."

Deep Chord, Dubwise, some Mosaic and Pokerflat material, Trapez, Force Inc +Force Tracks.... loads of goodies on these labels... very minimal, deep, solid and spacious. Deepchord 1-9 CD is nice...
If anyone is interested, the Scion CD on Tresor is Basic Channel reedited/mixed, flowing really nicely, all mashed and fucked by the Chain Reaction artists Scion. Maurizio when he changed the face of techno gets put into a mix cd format of sorts.... back in next week @ crucial.

mmm..yes...

the whole m series is dope.... Dirrrty, deeeeeep....

Yo do any cats here still dig on Maurizio?

Been discovering a lot of his early work lately.

And loving the new Carl Craig ReConfigured he helped with.
And also looking foward to the new Francesco Tristano he's help produce.

Tho these are more like his earlier works.
I guess he's felt he has mined the techno dub thing to death. And everyone now copying his style, he's looking at expanding his horizons a little.

maurizio rocks

Yep!
You said it... timeless.

If you guys like the rhythm and sound stuff this set is top!

Massive bass hit at one point just about blew my eardrums when I was listening to it on my ipod

“My impression about Basic Channel is that, in the beginning they just wanted to let the music speak for itself,” explains Rene. “When they wanted to stay anonymous it became like a self-perpetuating thing and they had nothing really to do with it. The mystique about Maurizio and Basic Channel just kept going and the weirdest stories came about. No one knows who started them, but that’s how the legend started.”

“Not really, because we were also heavily influenced by Chicago and Detroit,” Rene says, admitting nonetheless that “we learnt how to produce there and learnt from the Basic Channel sound. “If anything, the job at Hardwax helped us more than Basic Channel,” Pete says, finally getting the chance to speak up. “In the early 90s, this is where everyone from Berlin hung out, as well as all the first wave of DJs who were coming over from America. We met them all and got to know a wide range of producers who were and continue to be really important,”

“They made a link, made it clear that there’s a connection between the techno of today and music that was made years ago in Jamaica and even old funk music,” Rene, clearly the talkative member of the act, replies. “I remember in the early 90s people in the techno scene said this was something new that had never happened before, there was this idea that the Basic Channel music came out of nothing, but that’s not true,”

“They showed where this music came from and they had a huge influence on techno producers. At the same time,” he adds “it’s a wave that started many years ago: they transferred the kind of sound and the Jamaican methods of recording into a modern environment. It’s important to really know your history, to be aware that music from 20 or 30 years ago has a lot in common with the music of nowadays. If techno is all you know, how will you progress?”
