Free Music Notes for De9: Transitions (W/Dvd)
Free Music Review: For beginners and veterans alike
Hit: 5 Stars
For many techno as a word carries a bad stigma. Among modern youth it is associated with obnoxious throbbing music played at a gym, elevator, or clothing store. In this context, Techno displaces the listener from accomplishing his main purpose for occupying that space. Therefore, by existing it annoys the casual listener.
The definition of techno is often misconstrued as well. Its associated currently with a very narrow but popular genre called Progressive House. This genre incorporates elements of techno, trance, and house music. All three of these genres are distinct however. Techno by itself is a drum machine beat looped over many keyboard and other electronic devices. (this definition is intentionally simple; I believe its a lot more) This sound represents, for many, the urban wasteland of Detroit and other cities full of warehouses and urban decay. As a primarily underground medium, those who know it best will rarely use the term techno by instead using its prognosticators (Hawtin among the best) as signifiers of a certain sound. Thus the word by itself and in context cannot be denotated simply.
Techno heroes, such as Hawtin, must accept this definition nonetheless and move the genre forward. Hawtin advances techno(distinct from his Plastikman moniker) by employing the party atmosphere into the armchair listener. His success in this medium, in my opinion, is so complete that his albums will create new sonic documents of certain spaces and times. A chief example is in the liner notes of the first DE9, Hawtin suggests that the listener enjoy this disc en route from Detroit to Ann Arbor via I94 (A route which connects with Belleville--home to Derrick May) To be sure, sonic inferences to place and time such as these elevate him to the level of genius in the minds of many fans.
Whether a genius or not this latest offering is a sample of a transition between the tracks of his youth and moving toward another point in his life. Having spun in nightclubs since the age of 17, Hawtin's immersion into the club culture has now occupied his entire adult life. This release, from my initial listen, charts the incredible career through tracks of Hawtin's many professional phases of existence.
And it is a fascinating snapshot. The shreds of different pieces are interwoven so well that the listener cannot help but become transfixed. By purchasing this CD a veteran will be able to pick out the bits and enjoy a master at his craft. For early techno fan it is a chance to erase misconceptions about techno. More importantly by sitting and admiring the work a listener will be able to appreciate the care and dedication techno musicians cling to in order to forward their craft.
This release, regardless of what purists will tell you about Ableton beat matching, is a major step forward for the genre as much as it is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a great techno purveyor.
