Hope all sound with you
It's been a very nice Summer, we had two BiP_HOp Generation events in
Brussels, @ Recyclart : for sure one of the best venue around?

Some nice holidays in Lisboa where I met some interesting and active
folks, so we definitely recommend the labels Thisco, Grain of Sound,
Variz, Sirr, Ananana record store, Numero magazine? Favourite of the
moment the darkish weird rework of drum'n' bass composed by Sci-Fi
Industries.

A good news for all our Scandinavian friends, now DOT distributes our
music all over Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. They also
carry some very nice music from other label friends, check 'em out :

Our new BiP_HOp Generation - [v.7] - has been getting wonderful
reactions, often described as the best volume in the series.
David Toop & Max Eastley's doll creature has been welcomed too.
Both CDs establishing the label in minimal, experimental spheres.

Not willing to become classified it is a good time to make a change, a
BIG change towards rhythmic Techno, launching the release of the double
CD by Canadian hero : PAN/TONE.

PAN/TONE : newfound urban calm + free CD of remixes [bleep 26/27]

Pan/Tone is known for his releases on BackGround, Onitor, Neuton,
Revolver, SubStatic but we are proud to present his best work to date.
12 new compositions + 10 remixes = 136 minutes filled with miniaturized
techno. Subtle moves for your body, food for thoughts leading step by
step to a restricted dance area.
CD1 contains Pan/tone's compositions, showing many unique features to
his sound. Ranging from Minimal Techno to punchy techno+rock (Rockno), a
sound that rocks dancefloors and hopefully branches away from the norm.
CD2 offers exclusive reworks of Pan/Tone music by Jeff
Milligan-Algorithm, Losoul, Si-cut.db, Falko Brockseiper & Mia /
SubStatic, Andy Vaz, Frank Martiniq, Rene Braithwarth, Duplex 100, Adam
Marshall, Repair.
Already described in Germany's De:Bug (issue # 86) as "the most
versatile minimal record of the month". Fans of Kompakt related Techno
will love this killer ! Wunderbar?


My colleague Matthieu Voirin, from the Opak collective and I have
started a group a few months ago, we are called Deviationists. We both
start the composing process and invite friends to join and provide some
guitars, percussions, chinese pipa, egyptian qanun hoping to really work
as a collective and bring the diversity, richness lacking in many solo
workers. What interests us is to place the term in a daily context, with
its original sense of using a fact, a concept, as a starting point, and
making it ours, deviating it. Trying to create something personal, our
identity, our music. Knowing we won't be revolutioning contemporary
creation, but hopefully we'll be able to give pleasure to listeners.
We have done a remix of Murcof, to appear on his Static Discos + one of
PulseProgramming, to be published on Aesthetics. Both bands ranging
among the most interesting and creative in the new century I feel very
flattered they like our music and will publish it in 2005.
In the meantime the fine folks at Gonzo Circus magazine will release our
first track on their new CD compilation "Mind The Gap" # 52, given away
with the issue 65. Hope you can find a copy and enjoy the music.


Si-cut.db and Iris Garrelfs are both finalizing the cover artwork for
their upcoming album on BiP_HOp? Looks like both could see the light of
day early in 2005.
