By rhythmism - Wednesday, Aug 17th 2011, 09:49 PM
Festivals and large-scale music events often assume the characteristics of the cities who host them. Detroit’s Movement Festival assumes a gritty feel, Miami’s Music Week exudes sand and silicon, and Electric Daisy just feels homeless. Barcelona’s Sonar festival has a relaxed, artistic vibe, the result of a city renowned for its Mediterranean surroundings, fresh seafood, late meals on warm nights, architecture, art, and just about everything that makes life worth living. There might not be a better place in the world for a music-based vacation: a city whose vibrant nightlife has engaged, enraptured, and ensnarled generations of locals and visitors alike.

By rhythmism - Thursday, May 26th 2011, 01:05 PM
Carl Craig is a true legend in the world of electronic music, and specifically, techno - a genre he helped spread to the world as part of Detroit's famed 2nd Wave of producers and DJs. Under the tutelage of original Motor City juggernauts like Derrick May, Carl quickly branched out on his own to found his personal imprint, Planet E. Over two decades the record label has housed work under his numerous aliases, BFC, Psyche, Paperclip People, 69, Designer Music, and Innerzone Orchestra, served as a springboard for young artists, and released tracks from the likes of Kevin Saunderson, Alton Miller and Moodymann.

By rhythmism - Tuesday, May 24th 2011, 12:05 PM
Simon Baker has played an influential part of the UK house and techno scene for the better part of the last decade. He is an artist that generates his own musical trail through a stand out style, which is purely his own and always current. Pioneering labels such as Cocoon and Playhouse have long since been pressing his tracks, and each of these has helped stamp his dextrous musical talent upon the far reaches of the globe. Constant travel and playing at the best clubs in the world have continually honed Simon’s sound to the classic sounding, richly produced electronic house music that makes up his highly anticipated debut album, 'Traces,' released in March on his home label 2020Vision.

By rhythmism - Monday, May 23rd 2011, 02:01 PM
The mystery of Traversable Wormhole began in 2009, when a series of five ink-stamped vinyl records under the name popped up in the global techno scene, featuring a distinct sci-fi stamped sound with signature gaps of time and bass. Volume 2 was released to massive buzz and rampant theories on who was behind the project. Finally, with his sixth release in 2010, Traversable Wormhole revealed himself to be Adam X, a 20-techno veteran known for his genre-crossing mix of post-modern techno and industrial music. He took some time out to talk to Rhythmism about his upcoming appearance at Detroit’s Movement Festival, the value of vinyl, and hints of another anonymous project in advance of his performances at Movement in Detroit, Mutek in Montreal and his NYC homecoming date on June 4.
