A recommendation for THURSDAY 26th of January for those who are around in Berlin. RADIQ a.k.a. Yoshihiro HANNO Live; presented by M12 and Koi Klub.
Also don't miss his excellent full length "Tomorrow's Quest" (already released in October) and his forthcoming EP "Rip, Rig & Paniq" (scheduled for February 2006) on Logistic Records.
Just a reminder about Transmediale Club, that takes place from February 3 to 11, 2006 at Maria am Ostbahnhof in Berlin. I picked two nights out of their truly „BOLD“ and demandng program that could be of interest.
Featured artists: Frivolous (CA/QC) / Henrik Schwarz (DE) / Dandy Jack and the Junction SM (CH) / Pier Bucci (PL) / Luci (CA/QC) / ZIP (DE)
For those who are around ...

Andy Vaz - Interview (by Federica Linke)
source . basebog.it
published november 2005
Basebog - which is one of the first italian webzines dedicated exclusively to electronic music and that's by today the most important information point for new releases and events - posted an interesting interview between Andy Vaz (Background Records, Soundvariation) and Federica Linke - one of the heads/main editors behind Basebog.
Terrence Dixon - Minimalism III (12")
label . background records
release date . october 2005
Background Records began with the release of Terrence Dixon’s ‘Bionic Man EP’ in 1998, and now, almost 50 Background releases later, returns with Terrence Dixon’s long awaited “Minimalism III EP”, the follow up to his most sought after ‘Minimalism II’ (BG-011) release.
Dixon is one of the old-breed producers hailing from Detroit and has always been one of the most uncompromising characters within the Detroit Techno circle - atypical for the city and its clichéd sound. His typically raw musical approach, eccentric as his own personality, is never willing to accept or be associated with the marketing games of the music industry.
