STL and carefully chosen sounds.

There was a time when I started buying loop records and sound compilations and would get really attached to very tiny pieces of music. I guess sound selection can be taken, and must be taken very seriously for the technology of sound to be taken further and further. Since going to mutek, I have been introduced to lots of really fantastic dub techno. Seeing Rhythm and Sound live in 2006 was what drove me back to reach into the vaults of artists like maurizio of basic channel. A special thanks to B. Sharpe for giving me a great back catalogue of great music last year at mutek as well. One of the gem producers in that lot of music he dumped on me was the Dubbyman "Dubtroit EP". Thanks Mr. Sharpe

The same goes for Laubner, whose dance floor-orientated music seems to do the same thing—with minute variations—over and over again. A drum loop, a murky piece of melody, set things to autopilot and watch things develop. As any electronic musician can tell you, however, finding those loops is hard work. Echospace's Rod Modell will famously listen to something around the house all day long, and if it starts to lose its luster before hour eight, he'll throw it away and begin anew. These are snatches of music that need to somehow take on new forms the longer you live with them, all within the span of a few seconds.
