Wat bedoel je met meer lagen? Ik vind m'n tracks zelfs iets te druk. Aan gelaagde basslines - als je dat bedoelt -ben ik niet begonnen want ik heb niet de juiste speakers om dat goed te EQ-en.

Ja!! daar was ik dus een hele tijd op zoek naar dat nummer, toevallig had ik em gisteren middag gevonden. Wat een wereldplaat zeg... ik krijg gewoon telkens kippenvel als ik em hoor. Doet me elke keer ook terugdenken aan Rotzooii @ Westerunie 08-12 toen Davide Squillace em draaide

From 29 March up until the huge final event on 5 April in Mannheim's Maimarkthalle, all eyes will be on various venues in and around Mannheim as they present some of today's most exciting highlights from the crossroads between sound, images and vision on Time Warp, the international festival for Music and Arts. This year, the promoters are particularly honoured to be able to present a world premiere on 1 April. Exclusively for Time Warp – International Festival for Jetztmusik and Media Art, Ricardo Villalobos, Moritz von Oswald aka Maurizio and Max Loderbauer will be performing a newly composed new score for Walther Ruttmann's silent film classic Berlin – Die Symphonie der Großstadt live in Mannheim's Atlantis cinema.

In February 2008, the three dignitaries of today's electronic music scene will be in the studio together, composing the background music – the so-called cinemix – for the silent movie masterpiece. An extensive technical setup is needed to let the three musicians perform their soundtrack to the film live for festival goers. Following last year's cinemix by Laurent Garnier for the French poetic docudrama 'Finis Terrae' by Jean Epstein, cinemixes have now established themselves as a successful part of the festival week.

The rhythm of Berlin has fascinated generations: film maker Walther Ruttmann was inspired by the pulsating life in the city in the roaring twenties to make one of the most important documentaries of the silent film era. In 2008, three musicians, who have each in their own way influenced the rhythm of Berlin's nightlife in the past few years, will attempt to give the pulse of the 1927 film a new sound with rhythms, melodies and tones from today. Ricardo Villalobos is one of today's foremost jetztmusik artists, and his characteristic style as a DJ and producer has been a decisive contribution to Berlin's nightlife. With Moritz von Oswald and Max Loderbauer at his side, the project now counts two further pioneers who have left an indelible mark on the evolution of electronic music with countless projects.

Together, these three protagonists of today's nightlife in Berlin will be breathing new life into the film with their interpretation of the rhythm of the city. And that in highly fitting surroundings for this prestigious event: Mannheim's Atlantis Cinema.

Richie Hawtin provides RA's historic 100th podcast.

Perhaps the most celebrated techno DJ in the world, Hawtin has been at the cutting edge of dance music for more than a decade-and-a-half. Whether it’s his future-forward productions and mixes, his work in developing Final Scratch, or in defining minimal techno via his M_nus label, Richie Hawtin has become one of electronic music’s most recognisable figures.

What makes Hawtin so fascinating is his continued interest in the newest technology and sounds available. It makes him a fitting candidate for the RA podcast. With his RA.100 mix, Hawtin weaves together 60 minutes of snippets from deep house to techno, and in doing so uses the podcast as a testing lab for his next M_nus mix.

At the beginning of the year, Hawtin and the rest of the M_nus imprint underwent “10 Weeks of Silence”, a break that saw Hawtin officially jettison vinyl altogether. Now on a completely digital setup, he’s once again pushing himself in new directions.

So, you’ve stopped playing records...

I am now using a setup consisting of Traktor Scratch/Studio, Ableton, and A&H Mixers/controllers. So far, it’s been really inspiring for me, as though a weight has been lifted from my shoulders, and perhaps that one of the last remaining walls (or most of it) between the Studio and the Club has come down.

DJ’ing and performing is - for me - at its best when you really feel free to be as creative as you can imagine, and you’re moving towards a system where you have more options. It’s still the early stages for me and my new setup, but I feel that even though I’ve perhaps lost the dynamics of vinyl, I’ve gained a more fluid, dynamic, even organic feel to my sets.

Another interesting advantage of this type of setup is that it offers me more possibilities to use more of the material that I'm receiving these days. In the old days your 'crate' would be full with only final finished tracks, all mastered and polished, but now I can better use some of the pre-masters, demos, samples and things that I receive from up-and-coming producers and work them into my mix.


Where and how was RA.100 recorded?

I’m in the process of fleshing out ideas for what might become the next DE9 project, possibly based upon re-editing/mixing a number of live performance elements into a hybrid live/studio release. This podcast is a bit of an experiment of how that could work (or not).

The basic structure of the mix is a combination of multiple pieces from the songs listed below, sometimes one after another, but usually built up from multiple simultaneous loops and samples weaving in and out throughout the mix, sometimes continuing as atmospheric textures in the background.


How is the beard working out for you?

HA! Mixed results, some people love it, others hate it. I never thought I’d like having a beard, but without it I feel naked at the moment, so another change, another new year, and a new look. I have a short attention span, you know.
