Subject: dbn070 is done.



it's out. FINALLY. watts should have it tomorrow. i had a few

shipped

to me ahead of time to bring to detroit, but now it looks like we're

not

going. i'd like to get you some if there's a way? you driving or

flying? anyone driving? i could meet someone on 94 if that works out?

give me a call.



on another note, richie called me yesterday hassling me because i

didn't

show up to his gig in madison and wasn't going to milwaukee. his main

reason for calling though was to ask for copies of some old dbn records

him, magda, and troy were playing. then he started talking about this

white label he's been playing that he really likes and he couldn't

believe it was bass network. turns out it was your record.

his

quote was something like "if i was still actually making music this is

what it would sound like". so i guess that's props!



the watts write up



CENTRIFIC - Somebody Went To Detroit And All I Got Was The Itchy

Hawtins

(6 98)



Centrific with one of the best-named records of the year, "Somebody

Went

To Detroit And All I Got Was The Itchy Hawtins", Bass Network

This 3-tracker is a step away from the usual pounding DBN output, with

a

trio of superb pastiches of Plastikman resulting in some stellar dubbed

out, tracky, Detroit-styled minimal techno, the highlight of which is,

"Itchy Hawtins", Centrific s own take on "Spastik" NOT to be missed



TRACKS Light Rails/ Itchy Hawtins/ Skyline

From mnvibe bio

If youve ever seen Centrific play, then you already know why hes the artist of the month. If youve never seen him play, then you havent experienced what the Minneapolis electronic music scene is really about. He is hands down the most innovative DJ in the city, and possibly the midwest. With an ear for good music thats unrivaled by most, Centrific continues to break down barriers brought on by genre classifications and close-minded people. Steves passion and creativity has inspired every techno dj in the city in one way or another, whether you happen to be into what hes playing at the time or not, you get a better understanding of what a DJ should be just by watching him.



Besides DJing, Steve has created a reputation for throwing some of the best, and most forward thinking shows the city has ever seen. Constantly bringing in electronic artists for the first time that continue to change the face of techno as the world knows it. Intellephunk stands for one thing above all quality, and are highly regarded not only by us lucky enough to go to them, but by almost every artist that has had the opportunity to play at one. Steve is one person who is unaffected by the day-to-day drama surrounding the dance music scene, and only focuses on the most important part of it the music.
