TONIGHT Aug 12. 2004 [12 Aug 2004|01:57pm] m_saint Psyche w/ Ayria August 12 at The Labyrinth Doors at 9pm   $10 Cover    18 +    21 + to drink http://www.darqueproductions.com for more info Located in Bochum, Germany, the synthpop duo Psyche has been making music for 20 years. Featuring Darrin Huss on vocals and Remi Szyszka on synths, Psyche simply makes marvelous synthetic pop music. Ranging in themes from the meaning of art to the state of the internet, and drawing heavily on their history as well as history in general, the music is thought-provoking and engaging. The result is a fantastic array of material, from pumping floor-fillers to ambient piano pieces to funky radio pop. Psyche has released two studio albums, one remix album, a best of, and an EP on ArtofFact records and has been involved in over 100 remixes and compilation appearances during their long career. When they are not in the studio, the duo is constantly touring, playing for fans in dozens of countries every year. Ayria is the electronic project of ex-Epsilon Minus singer Jennifer Parkin. The idea for Ayria began to take shape in January, 2003. Soon the project became mainly a collaboration of both Shaun Frandsen (of Seattle based Glis) and Jennifer Parkin (Toronto, Canada) who saw the album through to completion in September, 2003. Other musicians featured on the upcoming debut album, entitled "Debris", include Iris (Diffusion Records), Delobbo (Rubin Roche), Massiv In Mensch (Artofact Records) and DJ Ram (Virtual Server). Ayria's "Debris" was released November 7th, 2003 on Alfa Matrix and has since been receiving excellent reviews. 1 comment|post comment

::Struktur:: RIP [23 Jul 2004|04:45pm] m_saint As of 7.22.04 ::Struktur:: at the Cavern Club is no longer. Last night after the club had shut down and after 2 weeks of poor attendance where the crowd emptied at 1:15 am, the clubs owner and myself sat down and discussed many alternatives. Failures to compromise and unable to come to an understanding on certain issues, a mutual decision was made to conclude Thursday nights ::Struktur:: Strange thing – there’s not a bitter feeling. Beginning with few expectations, as well as knowing the history of every other startup/failed industrial-goth night in Ann Arbor (save for the historic Necto), there was never any anticipation that the night would last beyond maybe a month’s time. It lasted close to 6 months – on a Thursday, in a town whose elektro scene is small yet dedicated. ::Struktur:: provided a key opportunity to learn many things. First it was a moment to build a night basically from scratch with a free-form format of “so long as it is electronic, anything goes”. It was nice to build a night such as ::struktur:: and take many ideas and visions and make them reality. Many who visited ::Struktur:: commented on how cool the place was and became regulars. It was nice to be able to try different things such as guest dj’s, release parties, special dj nights as well as live performances. Was often quipped that ::Struktur:: was the testing ground for things to later play at City Club and many times sets from ::Struktur:: would far best those played at City. Likewise the night taught the hard lessons that unless a venue/management is 100% behind a DJ, in full support, it is extremely difficult to make a club night grow. There was always an issue to advertising in the local papers or via flyers/postcards. “Too much money” the owner would say. One can only do so much via word of mouth advertising/message board posting and it’s the belief that failure to advertise really did the night in. Also management really had no idea what to expect from a Thursday night crowd and just how to cater to the goth/industrial scene. The owner was always ambitious in thinking 100+ attendance was a reasonable goal to achieve and completely ignored the devoted who made that night. It was a constant struggle of a bar owner wanting to only make money versus a DJ who simply wanted to play music and build something over time, yet each one of us could see the reasoning in what we did – but never could come to a compromise. Offers to split ad cost, host a web site and every other option to make the night successful were met with shrugged shoulders. In the end and after some reflection over a few beers at lunch (LOL), ::Struktur:: offered a lot. It was a stepping-stone for DJ Jinx to launch his successful Monday Factory nights out at Necto, which you all are encouraged to support whole-heartedly. It personally gave me the great fortune of meeting my girlfriend. Other ‘love connections’ generated from people meeting there on Thursday nights. Would like to take this opportunity to thank those who attended and gave their overwhelming support to the night and fostered it’s development. Much thanks to Mike and Joey - Street Team. Thanks to all the guest DJ’s who came out to spin – it was a thrill to DJ with you all. Thanks to the live bands that gave entertaining performances. Finally thanks to those who made request, talked music, laughed, shared, etc… – all things that made the night unique and forever memorable. There are enough memories to last a good long while. So what’s next then? In Ann Arbor – support Factory, Monday nights at Necto with DJ Jinx. If the crowd picks up to 200+ people –and it’s nearly there- they may open the basement area and the chance of DJing downstairs with DJ Jinx still upstairs, may become a likelihood. In Detroit – Alternate spots at City Club will still occur. Next fill-in spot is this Saturday the 24th - closing shift. On internet radio – http://www.detroitelectronica.com/audiotech.htm There’s the trip to the UK to DJ at Infest at the end of August… http://www.infestuk.com No matter what and where, get out and support the scene. Things don’t last forever so support them while the exist and while you can. Thanks again everyone Forever looking forward -Marc C. DJ Sain+ http://www.djsaint.com post comment
