Homebrew synthesiser madness

Section: Videos Topics: Technology
Written by: The Last Real DJ Alive

Remember when you were four, and you used to open your mouth and make that hideously annoying noise, gradually slowing it down until your voice box was clicking like a giga counter?

Well then check out this video of a guy who, after an 11-day stint with STEIM [Amsterdam’s research center for electronic performance arts tools], created this homebrew synth that sounds like a cyborg baby trying to gurgle its first words.

If you like Star Wars, Blade Runner, Short Circuit or even Quantum Leap, this will be right up your alley.

Japan: Ricardo Villalobos to close the 10th Wire Festival this weekend

Section: Music News Topics: Beatport Blog
Written by: Yuko Asanuma

It’s a busy time of the year for techno heads in Japan.

Every year, once you recover from Metamorphose, it’s followed by the biggest indoor techno rave in the country, Wire.

To many, it’s the last blast that symbolises the end of summer.

Having started in ‘99, the event usually draws about 15,000 to 18,000 people, and this year it celebrates the 10th anniversary with a slew of both Japanese and international talent, from very underground to very well known.

Wire ‘08 is taking place at Yokohama Arena on Saturday, August 30th.

Bar Rumba relaunch finally gives Central London techno

Section: Music News Topics: Beatport Blog
Written by: Zack Rico

Considering how many bars and clubs there are in central London, there’s a pathetic amount of credible electronic music nights in the centre of the city.

Basically there are none. But Bar Rumba on Shaftsbury Avenue (just off Piccadilly Circus) is set to host a newly refreshed music program that will include some of London’s most credible techno nights like Zombies Ate My Brain, Leftroom Records [check out their releases in the player below], Latenightaudio and LT Editions.

The question is, will London’s hardcore dance music fans venture into the area which is known only for its annoying tourists?
