A Message To The Outer Consumer Welcome to Massive Number 3. What you, the OUTER CONSUMER, have just picked up is about to be explained to you. First to be explained is what YOU are. If you picked up this magazine at a store, paged through it, and then took it home without first knowing what this is all about, then you are the Outer Consumer. This is not bad. You just need some things explained to you. Massive Magazine began as a compilation, a celebration, of many of the small 'zines in the midwest. These 'zines focused on the underground techno party scene. Our culmination is for the purpose of entertaining these party-goers and YOU. If you do not understand some of the things, people, and activities discussed within these pages-- and you would like to find out, you can contact us with your questions. Mind you, it is not our plan to make MASSIVE totally oblivious to you-- we are expanding what we are all about. At this moment we have people working hard to serve you information and entertainment in the Rave, Hip-Hop, Skateboarding, Punk, and Ska scenes of the Midwest. An odd combination, you might say, but they are all constantly exposed to the threat of being wiped out. Unity and dedication are the only things that keep these scenes alive. If you'd like to be a part of this MASSIVE undertaking, get a hold of us. If you still need some things explained to you-- get a hold of us. We're nice people. Matt Mot Massive- March 15, 1994.

LENNY DEE Everyone should hear this fella. He makes hair stand on end. We couldn't help but to speak a tad with the hard prophet of deep noise. His programming has become anthems for our gatherings. His work has marked hardcore and is developing hardcore music beyond what we've known... Or, a fresh interview with heavy weight champ Lenny D. In da house; Lenny, Matt, Zak, Tommy S. Mike, Jeff Mills Zak- Let's have your name, where you were born, shit like that. What instrument do you play? Dee-I play the skin flute. Zak- I figured that. Dee- I play no instruments. I program, that's as far as it goes... I was born in Brooklyn. I'm 25. Zak- What kind of music did you listen to when you were a kid? Dee- A lot of disco, electro music and some hip hop. Then I went more into the new beat thing, from there I went more and more into techno. Zak- When did you start spinnin' and getting active in playing music? Dee- My first gig, I was 17. I was in a roller rink- playing disco, hip hop, and crazy things. My first gig in Europe was at the end of 88. I played on the Rock Garden and then the Energy party. After that I spun most all those raves. From 88 on. Zak- How did you get caught up going from roller rink disco and hip hop to the underground? Dee- Producing records. Well, I had to play those records or else I wasn't working so I had to. I wanted to work. I had no choice. What I played in my bedroom and what I played in the clubs were two different things. But it really influenced me- it taught me how to mix somewhat. Because those records were more mix orientated. The transaction came when I started making records and having success in Europe. When I got the chance to go to England, when we had, 'Just as long as I got you" on XL. We went over there to meet everyone for the record label. While there I went to a few clubs, Heaven and a couple others, and I said, "Holy shit, they're playing this music and they get into it. It's like, 'fucking hell, what's going on?' I opened my head, I thought, 'Wow, I can come over here and play.' Then I did. It always helped with the records, though. Cuz they lead to a notice. Zak- When did the label (Industrial Strength) actually start? Dee- about three years ago, maybe a little less. Zak- The Music was obviously more popular in Europe then. How did I.S. start? Was it you with the help of others? Dee- I was totally fucked by all the record labels I dealt with. I owed a lot of money, I had no money, I was living at home. I could not get outta the hole... Zak- You were putting out records at this time? Dee-I was DJing as well, but my records were going down the tubes. I was selling 10- 15,000 to like 2,000-1,500 records. So I wasn't getting paid, I had no money. I had no chance to get any studio equipment. I was made to believe everything was thhhppt-squat, you know The only thing that was keeping me groin' was the DJing then I met Jennifer and she kind of gave me a little more hope to get out of the hole I was in. Zak- Inspiration? Dee- Not really inspiration, just like, "Stop whining about it and get off your ass and do something!" I still didn't get the money. All the labels folded and everyone went their own way. When I was DJing in England, at that time, England was going almost totally into break beat. That was another big slap in the face. I couldn't get work there anymore. So I went to Germany, Frankfurt, to do a party called Sound Factory, with the guys jam and spoon, actually Mark Spoon was DJing, Sven Vath and the guys from R+S told me to come over. To see Germany. I got to play for 20 minutes there, then after that I got another gig, then after that I got Mayday. It just became really quick. Mayday was like 'woosh' that was really big for me. The parties before that, all the parties were very small. That was the first megablast for me. So I just started going to Germany. Then I found these guys PCP and they had some tracks and I had this label concept but I had no studio, no nothing, because I was just coming off being so fucked. So they had the track, Mescalinum (united), but they didn't have the money. So I said, "O.K. I got the money, you got the track, let's put it out." Then they put it out later on their label, then R+S. So it helped me a lot. But at the same time I was making the decision to go commercial. I was doing an album for Warner Bros. for the girl in N-Joi with this guy, Eric Cupper, who does all the David Morales stuff, Frankie Knuckles, Saffron. After I finished the album, got some money, started the label, got my studio equipment, and started from zero. After I had Success on Loony Tunes, major problems, all these records on XL, all the records on 4th floor. It wasn't really a let down, but... Zak- Is Industrial Strength a completely independent Label? Dee- Totally. We pay for everything. The phone bills, the fucking pressing, the fucking advance. Everything. Zak- How's it all working out for you? Dee- It's doing good I have no complaints. It's like, with all the other record labels we're trying to do, it's trial and error, really I'm learning everyday. So is Jennifer. Phil- You have a new label - Bastard Loud. Matt- What's that all about? Dee- Bastard Loud (extra fat Brooklyn accent here) That came about because we were coming to the problem of releasing 3 records. I have a certain amount of records I figured I wanted to release in a certain amount of time. I couldn't release them all on I.S. cuz I tried that and it felt like every time I put the new one out the last one would be cut a little, cuz the distributors, when they reordered, would order a little less and more of the new ones. It came to the point that if I release just one, the records Lenny MASSIVE D.

would sell o.k. But I needed more volume of records. So I started the trance label- Industrial Strength Trance and Bastard loud would be another hardcore kinda thing. I took alot of tracks and said, " you go here, you go there," and so on. It's actually just a trial thing. I'm giving Bastard Loud a few more to see what happens with it. Matt- What's out on B.L.? Dee- Economix- which is H.M.S. which also has a records on Killout. We have the new Mind Candy 3. Structure- Monotone Sampler, which is Titanium Steel, Screws, Speed Phreak, Ed-e Cologne, and Biochip C on one record. Natas by Rob G is doing good. He's like the crazy/hardcore/guitar/gabber king... Matt- The 'fucking fast!'one? Dee- Yeah, he's rad. Also a few more things are in the works. On Industrial Strength I put more of the key things. Zak- How do you see the Midwest scene as opposed to the others you've visited in (america)? Dee- New York doesn't compare cause there isn't much going on there. Maybe it is and I don't see it, but the way I see it, it's not. It is and it isn't, there's too much politics. The raves don't get to happen because the club owner who owns all the clubs doesn't want those kids going out of his clubs. So big raves don't happen, they're very small, and because they're small, they don't generate much. 50 people in a room is great but it's not a good rave. All the kids now are getting into house music. Zak- How did you decide to stick with hardcore instead of wussin' out and going to house? Dee- I don't think it's wussin' or anything, just hardcore is what I choose to play. If I chose to spin anything else, I wouldn't be playing as good, cause I don't feel any of that. You never know, I might just one day, not play it anymore. Right now I'm into it. Matt- I wondered if you would throw a surprise set at us...I remember Genesis. Dee- You gotta remember that the records then were different. All techno changes from month to month. Matt- Genesis was a new thing to us. It was amazingly fast. But, I think we're used to it. Dee- Well, there's hard and there's fast. What I spun tonight, I think it was kinda excessive, but I usually don't spin really fast. I've heard DJs play 200 fuckin beats per minute, man, their whole fucking set... Matt- With Gabber, Mokum has the "Gabber's against racism" creed. Where did the racism start? Dee- In Holland, a lot of the Gabber kids used to chant and do alot of things about Jews. That was a big problem. Mokum started to make hard records that weren't racist. Like when you hear Euromaster's "Alles Naar de Klarte"-they go, "Klaar da, Klaar da." In Holland, there's slang for Jews- "Moduh." So the whole crowd would go, "Moduh, Moduh," which is, "We got the balls, Jew!" But, it was just slang the crowd was screaming out. So this was getting in there and they (Mokum) didn't like this. So, they put that on all the records. It's not really racist there at all. But, this one record, it was a joke kinda, and it got out of hand. Matt- When we hear it we don't know what they're saying. Dee- Yeah, it's all babble. (at this point a conversation strikes about cigarettes, cuz someone stole Lenny's) Zak- We heard a rumor about you touring with Pantera. Dee- No, I wish. Matt- Have you met them? Dee- No, we only sampled them. Zak- When you first started putting out records, what did you do for money? Were you a shit worker making pizzas? Dee- No, since I was 17, my first job was DJ-ing. Every weekend I worked for $30 for like, a 3 hour session. I'd get on the bus with my records, two milkcrates of records. Matt- Why hasn't the 'Rave thing' caught on as hard here as in Europe? Dee- Blame it on fuckin' rap music. (One giant sighing "yeah" issues from all present) Matt- Why's that? Dee- What's the culture of America?-Rap music, Hip-fuckin'-Hop.Culture of Europeans?-fuckin' techno, dance music, house. It's a different thing. All these raves started there. Finally, there's one thing those motherfuckers did that we didn't do: Startin' parties, gettin' into Extacy. Maybe we're more ahead of them in music, and they get alot of ideas from the early Detroit stuff. But, they had one thing we didn't have, and that's big parties-in Europe. Any country, the party was within driving distance. Here, how can kids from New York or LA or Texas come to this party? It's too big of a country. Mike H.C.- How's it in Europe? Dee- I think more kids are getting into the extacy than into the techno. If they all get into the Extacy, then they relate it with techno. So, when they stop doing Extacy, they stop listening to techno. See, that's the death of techno-Extacy. As soon as the desire for the drug goes and the kids get older, they don't want to hear it. They go out to a house club to look at some kickin' chick who's got some fresh fruit. Matt-Is there a problem in New York with Nitrous? Dee- No, I gotta say. Nitrous is another evil death to techno. It kills the parties and kids are sitting there going "duh." I've never tried it and I can't see going to the dentist and liking to get gassed. I can't see going out to a party and doing the same thing. Zak- It's great! M A S S I V E

Dee- If I were getting my face drilled maybe. I smoke some weed and that's as far as it goes. It's a mellow high. With techno, though, I think the heavy metal kids should start getting into it. And the alternative kids. They should make space movies with techno in it. Jeff Mills- What was the thing with you going on tour with Metallica? Dee- The guys at Def America were supposed to to set up this thing where it was going to be with them. But, Metallica was going on tour for 2 years already and their shit's coming to an end. So, then they wanted to do it with Slayer. But, I haven't heard anything. If that ever happens...cuz I did a record for Rotterdam Records. Def America here has now picked up Rotterdam. So, if it works out right, Maurice Steinburg, who did "Poing!" will be here the first 3-4 days of March to do some work at my place. He's then going to LA to do "Fight for Your Right" with the Beastie Boys. A hardcore version. (gasping all around) Rick Rubin-if anything, it has to be with this guy. Cuz, he's got enough power and produces so much heavy metal and crazy music-the major labels will listen. The problem is, if it's all the Dutch records he's picking, they're not in English- It's gotta be English. So I don't know exactly what's going on, but it could bring all techno into the forefront. Not just hardcore, because if one thing goes through the door, everything will go. It's just gonna get bigger and bigger. Phil- Won't that mean commercialization though ? Dee- Yeah, but man, fuck, come on man. But listening to it on a major label, you gotta say, "Is that ever gonna be played naxt to Madonna ? Maybe 2 Unlimited is the exploitation. Look at heavy metal. That shit wasn't on the radio for who knows how long, but it was selling so many millions of records they couldn't deny it. The kids were buyin' the records. Mike- Hardcore rules in the midwest, so what's developing elsewhere ? Dee- Well, you should listen to other things too. I couldn't go to a party, like when I go to Holland, and hear the first dj at 10 o'clock start at 180 bpms and the fuckin' last dj at 7 or 8 in the morning finishes at 180 bpms. And I'm like "Fuck me man." When I go on it doesn't even sound like i'm on 'cuz it's the same for 10 hours. No break whatsoever. If you're hearing now you're hearing it now - really good acid from ESP, good Experimental stuff, good trance, good hardcore - then people can get into it as a whole. They'll their peaks and their downs - it's like a trip really. Mike- People keep sayin' "Hardcore's going out, house is comin' up, and acid's coming back" - what do think about it ? Dee- Acid never left, house has never been gone. Everyone's just talkin' a bunch of bullshit to to write shit in magazines 'cuz they got nothin' better to write. And most of them don't know how to play anything hardcore, so they dont really relate to it - so it all depends on who's writing it down. Magazines are like anything else - they like to bring it up, chop it down, and all of a sudden everyone's like "Oh, that's not so bad anymore." You just gotta go with what you like and nevermind what anybody writes. They said "why you puttin' out that hard shit for ?" I enjoy it, I'm finding my success in it. Everyone has they're own niche~. That's what's so good about techno. Mike: Have you signed anything on Industrial Strength from around here (the midwest) ? Dee- The only stuff from America is Disintegrator - which isn't really signed - they do other stuff as well, I've got these other guys called Strychnine - they're from Queens - that's gonna' be our first double record. The second double is from england - called Acid Lab. It's really more pure techno, alot more acid, like thick. More intelligent, more pure. Mike- What do you think of Joe and Woody creating their own music around here ? Dee- That's fuckin' great. It's like people say "Oh Brooklyn must be rockin' " but there ain't a fuckin' place to go in Brooklyn. But there's a good scene, musically, because there's alot of kids makin' it. Then you get the attention in Europe - producers and other musicians. Everyone eventually gets to know each other and it becomes one big family that doesn't work together. Everyone's for the same cause - the light at the end of the tunnel - but everyone has a different way of getting there. We've been makin' the music for the longest time, but we got the shittiest scene - and it's all because of hip-hop. The average kid has every rap record, but he puts on a techno record whether he's White, Black, or Chinese, whatever - and it's like they don't get into it. "Ok, I'm relate to hip-hop 'cuz I wanna' be tough, big, and bad" - and there's the guy tellin' me I can be. But techno is more mind-expanding. Phil- It's got to be kept alive. Dee- That's what's good about you guys here makin' music 'cuz if they don't make music, they only become djs. But if they get into makin' it, they have created a scene that will push it further. Phil- Are you related to Ralphie Dee ? Dee- No. Rob G, Ralphie Dee - nope. Rob G was the first dj i ever saw out at a club. He was the dj at Saturday Night Fever. Bet ya' didn't know that. He was like dj-ing at that club when that was going on there. He goes way back. THAT'S ALL KIDS. IF YOU WANNA WRITE I.S.

INTERVIEW HELL HATH NO FURY... ...the Power ...the Evil ...the Fear TO THE WRATH OF MR. BILL Matt- How old are you/ where were you born? Bill- I'll be 25 in May. I was born here in Milwaukee. M- How many years have you been a dj? B- I started out as a hip-hop dj back in my sophomore year in highschool. A friend of mine named Dave- he was the schooll's 'cool guy' dj- did all the school parties. Just hanging out with him got me into it. He never really taught me anything, I just bought a pair of shitty turntables and a crappy mixer and started-- using a bunch of hip-hop records of the time -Sugarhill gang, etc. Old rap before it started getting big. I stayed with if for awhile and just evolved into pop stuff back when they started playing Hot 102 mixes on the radio. I'd drive down to Chicago every week and bug the dj's for song names. From pop I evolved to what I spin today. M- Did you spin at parties in general? B- A lot of house parties-- shitty basements, beer soaked floors. I was getting payed $30- $40 to tote my sound places and spin. I threw my own parties by renting halls. I spun some college parties when pop and dance were popular. I also dj'd at the Attic about 3 nights a week. I actually started there as a maintance guy- cleaning lights and stuff. Then they found out a was pretty good, so they gave me a dj job. M- Tell us about your involvement with the early Milwaukee Rave outfit- Full House Productions B- I actually started Full House, before I even met (Toby) Tyler (or (Acid Boy) Todd -who were my partners in FHP. It was just a name back when house music started getting big, Chicago style house-- mind you, none of that crap they play today. We basically did the first rave in Milwaukee-- Kool-Rave. We threw some other parties in Bermuda's when it was closed down. They were billed as a rave parties back before any one knew what a rave was. We just fed it to them on the flyer. It was really a shitty night--only 350 people showed, but it was actually kind of fun. M- How did spinning techno and hardcore come about-- since you were a hip-hop dj? B- The first techno I heard was from Tyler. He went to a dj expo in Florida and met Dave Kunulte-- who was a big rave dj down there. Dave played him a couple records and he brought a few back. I really didn't care for them. It was kind of hard, more industrial-like Front 242. I hooked up with Crawford from WMSE and did an alternative night at the Attic. He fed me some better stuff. But it was all still industrial-like. I went more for House music. As Chicago went from house to hip-house to techno so did I. The thing about hardcore is, at first, I didn't like it. I thought I was just noise and that's what it was when it first came out. Slowly as techno became harder I grew into it. It just keeps getting harder and harder and faster. I try to keep it at a respectable speed cuz after awhile it gets a little crazy, cuz ya can't dance to something 200+ BPM's all night. I keep it at a moderate 180-190 BPM's. The energy is another reason why I went for it. You can tell that the kids are going crazy in front of the speakers when you're up there spinning, And it makes you wanna go harder or faster. We feed off each other. It's crazy. M- Have you ever considered spinning in cities outside the midwest? B-Oh I'd love too. I haven't gone out of the midwest, far east as Indiana as far west as Iowa. M- What's the scene like in Iowa? B- It's actully pretty cool. It's how Milwaukee was in the beginning. It had a big club influence-- with a lot of kids who like the music, but really don't have any access to it. So, every time there's a party, they get fairly decent crowds-- around 500 people, like what we were getting in the beginning here. The kids MASSIVE

The evil continues... there just wanna dance. Here, we have our little cliques- which take away from the fun of it. It's more of a social thing here to go, where there it's to dance. They love it. Get on the mic ask them to scream, they won't shut up. It's all crazy. M- Whatever happened with you spinning on WMSE? B- Basically Crawford, the guy who gave the opportunity to spin, lost his time slot to another job. M- Explain exactly what is your business and what you do to pay the bills? B- I own a company called One For the Road. I make cases, like equipment cases for bands and those nifty little cases the djs carry their records in. Also, spinning pays the bills. Occasionally, I'll do a light show for somebody. M- What do see in the future of our scene? Any gripes or comments? B-I don't like how many new dj's coming out have been spinning only months. They didn't work their way up with experience. With these guys its bacically who they know and it's not fair for the djj's who worked their asses off to get to where they are now. Take, for instance, Hyperactive. People give him shit for having 8 tapes out, but he does those tapes and gets his name out there. These new kids can barely mix a box of Kool-Aid, let alone 2 records. So here they are, spinning at parties, and people don't know that these dj's are really not that good. M- Is there a competition between dj's? B- Yeah, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't care cuz I might be better than someone else but there will be someone better than me so you've got to stay humble about it. You can't go around saying how many parties you spun at cuz it really doesn't matter. I went through that phase with hip-hop cuz there was- there still is- a lot of competition because it's all trick oriented. The guy who could do the most tricks was better. I went around, learned a few tricks, shot my mouth off and got slammed down bad by a lot of good dj's. I learned If the guys not good, give him pointers-- don't tell him 'you suck'. There is competition but I try to stay out of it. MR. BILL M- If there was no venues to spin at rave-wise would you continue spinning? B- It started off as a hobby, but I love it. I feel comfortable behind a pair of 1200's. Even when I wasn't spinning at parties I still spent all my money buying new records. If there were no raves, I'd find some place to play. When a guy gets on the mic and a 1000 kids start screaming, it makes you want more. Like at Massive- everybody on stage going nuts, pumping their arms, crowd going crazy-- Damn. M- Competition-wise the other Mr. Bill didn't match up to Milwaukee standards. B - Yeah, too much breakbeat for Milwaukee. M- What do think of breakbeat/ U.K. 'ardcore? B- Not to name any names, but I hate the fact they call their music hardcore and deny the fact that ours is hardcore too. They're different styles of hardcore. I don't like 'ardcore- at least the breakbeats that are being played now. When they first started out they were really nice and happy. I don't like the Darkside, superfast BPM's with no defined bass. You need a beat to dance to- without that, people aren't going to go for it. It might use a stomping sample, but double speed it loses its bass. Breakbeats changed for the worse. I'm not going to say it's bad, I just don't like it. M- You said early house was better than what we have now. How has it evolved? How come you don't like what it has evolved into? B- The house that I used to play way back when-- Chicago house, thats basically where it all came from, Hot Mix 5, DJ International, Bad Boy Bill- Those kind of guys- all happy uptempo, a lot of singing, it just has a nice feel and nice smooth beats- it kept ya going. The stuff now is real calm and mellow. Yeah, its got a nice vibe but it puts you to sleep-- people just sit there and kind of bob their head to it. With Hardcore or any other kind of music its faster and gets crowds moving. Today's House is just boring compared to the older stuff. And the thing I don't like about it the most is their big sample theives. They'll take a sample from a song that was at the top of the charts a month ago and sell a million because it sounds like that song from a month ago. And where's the creativity in that? Now there's songs that take 2 different songs and blend them together to make one. That's just a blatant rip-off. Sampling's fine as long as your not taking the whole song and have permission from the person you sampled from. M- With all the sampling in hardcore, what do you think of it becoming more 'evil'? B- I like it. It gives people something different to connect to. It gives it personality and if it's evil and I don't see anything wrong with that. There's a lot of aggression in Hardcore. That could be a bad thing, so why not make it evil? M- With some Euromasters stuff, with the knowledge of knowing it's racist, would you refuse to spin it? B- No, I actully think that's very lame when people do that. You'll hear tales of certain dj's getting axed from the bill because of certain songs they play. That's just censorship and that sucks. I never refuse to play a song for that reason. M- Even when in German or Dutch it says something against Jews? B- If I knowingly played that song, it's not my song, I didn't write it. I don't speak German or Dutch so I don't know what half of these songs actually say and I really don't care. I think half of the people listening to them don't either. If the people who wrote the song feel that strongly about it -- fine. I don't. M-Many have used this as an argument against Gabber Hardcore. B- If they would look at any Mokum record, it says 'Gabbers against racism' and Mokum is one of my favorite labels. Yeah, some songs on Rotterdam do have racist overtones and a lot of them are made by skinheads, and if you believe in what they're saying, fine, but I don't go along with it. And so this conversation ends with Bill, Lucas, and myself listening to a few of Bill's newer tracks.... A top 10 of these included. NO FURY....... MASSIVE evil bill

Recently there has been some talk about the connection between Drop Bass, Satan, and raves. Actually, too much talk- All of it by softies, of course. For the record, Drop Bass does not advocate nor disapprove of worshiping the red man down under. What we do support is the decadent and hedonistic lifestyle each of us lives on the weekends-- and hopefully every other day of the week. It's only a matter of coincidence that Satan also approves of this over-indulgent life style. We consider ourselves - AND all you techno-pagans- worshipers of the bass and the walls of sound that spew hardcore at our events. Occasionally we devote an event to being a 'techno pagan ritual'. It sounds fuckin' evil as that, but, in an effort to make these events be all they can , we hype them as being evil and as hardcore as possible without scaring everyone (just the softies). We want the ritualists to come in rare form, psyched and ready to overindulge and become part of one HELL of a ritual. If you come timid or afraid, you could be in trouble. It's been said a thousand times- but it's true- 'the only thing to fear is fear itself'. Don't fear evil, accept it as being hardcore and part of your life. It's a hard world we live in these days and if we all can gather in the spirit of peace and unity, there's nothing wrong with using a little evil to release some aggression while you become a peon to the bass. As long as we keep smiling at each other and respect the fact that it's all in good fun, then so be it. We think of our lifestyles as hardcore and underground-- there's certainly nothing more underground than hell itself. We only have one life to live and if you chose to live to the fullest- accepting no rules or fear- then it's obvious your taking lessons from the big guy downstairs. Release some of the shit you take everyday at one of our events. Yeah, I know it's hard to smile and think of flowers at 200 bpm's, so let evil be the tool to release yourself. Don't get afraid- get Hardcore. Evilly Yours, Jethrox drop bass network INTERVIEW...... Drop Bass Records: Jethrox interview by Lucifer.... lucifer: can you answer a few questions for me? jethrox: yes master l: what is drop bass records? j: it was an idea between ESP (the evil satanic prince) and ourselves. we wanted a label dedicated to the thriving midwest scene. since it would be underground and small releases could come out fast, it would be representative of what's going on here. the whole idea was to get some respect for this scene and provide an outlet for the numerous hardcore artists making tracks. l: how is it working out, then, my servant? j: well, master, it couldn't be better. our first release was by ESP- the 'interference EP'. it got excellent reception on the east coast, in the u.k. and especially in Germany (where all the acid tracks sound the same anyway). the next release, 'amplification 94' didn't sell quite as many, but it got good reviews. then, because of the holidays and closings of businesses, our third release got majorly delayed. But when it came out, it was well worth the wait. It's called 'Bad Acid- No such thing' by DJ ESP. It has something for everyone. If you can't find an acid track for yourself on here then you should be forced to spend eternity in heaven with a 303 up your ass! dbn003 was made album of the month in Germany's Front Page- which is the techno bible over there. Immediately Lucifer started wailing on jethrox for using the 'B' word as a reference to something good. l: 13 lashes, young man! j: sorry master! l:So, what does the future hold? j: well, what we initially wanted to do be was an exclusive midwest thing, but all has blossomed. we have gotten a lot of respect from the releases and our integrity to remain underground. this attracted many artists we never would have dreamed of working with. DJ Repete has done tracks, x-Crash are working on some, Lenny Dee wants to dedicate some evil, Unit Moebius of Holland is sending a DAT, this guy from Denmark -Nick East- has sent tracks... This along with locals ESP, Hyperactive, Astrocat, Mark Verbos, and Delta 9 too!

At this point Satan shit his pants........ Originally, we wanted to do one release a month, but with the flood of material, we plan on doing two a month-- if we can afford it. l: any other surprises? j: yeah, Organico is planning a 'drop bass presents' CD compilation and we are dedicating a CD to Prince's twin brother, ESP. l: does hardcore have a future? j: as long as everyone who's into it now stays devoted and doesn't go soft. also, as soon as all the metal & grunge kids crossover into our scene, look out, because it will become a way of life for many. l: anything else, my Puppet? j: yeah, don't believe any leprechauns who say this label is a joke. it's a lot of hard work on our part and even though we don't produce the artists, they do an exceptional job and our mastering facility knows what we like, so we don't need all the equipment a lot of people think you do. May I be let out of these shackles now? Midwest Hardcorps!! Keeping the sound underground.... 'cuz the underground only stays real! SONIC DEATH SQUAD Dear Massive-- We have long stood as witnesses to the growth of your midwest rave community. We have watched and listened as the music spewed forth at these events has grown harder and faster and triumphed as the people have grown with us. This has all served as training, our comrades, and we have deemed this the time to emerge from our pods. The master's seal of approval is emblazoned upon each of our faces. This shall become apparent in the coming months as we appear at selected, hardcore events in the garb of Satan's very own lounge band; KISS and that bastard who tickles his funnybone.....Alice Cooper. We are the chosen ones. You shall be too. Listen as we preach, learn from our actions, die by our hands....and enjoy every minute of it. Follow these instructions, our elitist code to destruction-- without them you cannot be saved from the clutches of the Proggie. 1. Accept only Hardcore 2. Parade your 'Suit of Armor' only at Hardcore events 3. Join the KISS Army 4. Support the Milwaukee Brewers (season opener- April 5th) 5. Buy the new Pantera album- wait for further instructions..... 666.

CHICAGO HARDCORE AUTHORITY Resist What? by Aaron Stigberg It seems there are at least two groupings of people who go to parties. There are those who live their life in the scene. We are the ones who write articles for zines, who get voicemails, who roadtrip every weekend, and who are nitpicking back and forth about what type of music should be played at parties and for how long. It is interesting to step back and perhaps look at this from the point of view of someone who doesn't know the first thing about techno or raves, and might not understand the importance of a debate about gabber versus UK hardcore. One result of this exercise is the realization that we are all part of a tiny tiny portion of people who actually care about this, and should never try to alienate each other with disrespect or huffiness. Okay, I admit it, I do have an idea of unity, not so far as we are together battling "the authorities who would have us silenced", but just because it's silly, when we are all so far removed from the rest of our "peer groups" as to be fulfilling, for them, the same stereotype of -- dare I say it, "ravers". I would never say that our arguing is pointless, but the lofty ideals that some invoke in their complaints about what they see as overly harsh. pointedly "personal" criticism are without substance. Some of us should perhaps reserve our discussion, at least for the time being, to the practical matter of how to keep a scene alive and diverse; that is, how to put on more, better parties and to give the old school and the new school of ravers a good time. A lot of zine articles, as somebody on mw-raves pointed out, sound like conversations in a junior high lunchroom in that they contain whimpering about supposed character assassinations or icky personality traits. Most of them ignore the practical necessity for unity and the real reason these petty disagreements should be forgotten about: the scene is in constant danger of disappearing. Think about it: All it would take would be a few weeks of no parties and many would forget that the "Rave Thing" even hit the midwest. All we are really fighting against is what would seem to be a law of nature: What is born eventually dies. At least for me, the death of the scene would mean the lack of anything fun to do except play old records and tapes at home. I know a lot of people, however, depend upon raves for their livelihood, and they can't be blamed. Many thought that something like what developed in England would happen over here. I don't know why it never really "blew up" (meaning there were a variety of good parties every weekend), but even in Europe, things aren't what they used to be. It's funny, but after any amount of pondering on the state of the midwest scene, I come to the same conclusion. Everybody should basically put on more free parties and not let their differences stop them from cooperating to pump some life back into the area. If that means I might have to accompany someone to a party where all but one DJ plays progressive house, so be it. Mad lives are up for grabs, or at least the life of the party.

THE BOX VIDEO MUSIC PROGRAMMING WE LOVE TO CONTROL We here at massive have of late, began to enjoy the pleasures of inner-city t.v.. Being we are all to poor to have the luxury of cable, we must find a substitute for our MTV. We have found something better than we can even imagine. Instead of sitting through hours of Mr.Big, Mariah Carey, and "Buzz Clips", we have video after video of bouncing cars, forties, scantly clad women, dominoes, and afroes. What we are doing here is giving you a list of all our favorite videos, now remember its not the song that matters but the images in the video. 1. Master Ace-Born to Roll The best video to order on the Box. All the other videos round up the homies with the bouncing cars and their hoes with the daisy duks. This muthafucker didn't waste no time or money, he just went to a fucking bouncing car show with dancing hoes and shot his video. It's also a great record so it makes if worth ordering. This was also the only video with enough bass to shake the tv. 2. Snoop Doggy Dogg Gin and Juice Rollin' down the street smokin' endo sippin on gin and juice. This video has it all. Lots of bouncing cars, forties, afroes, bitch fight, dominoes, puking, low-rider bicycle, fuzzies*, scantly clad women, and Dr. Dre'(what a surprise). Great record as well. Fun to sing along to. 3. Snoop Doggy Dogg Who am I?(What's my name) Pretty much same formula as last one except this has morphing(when Snoop and the posse turn into dogs). One thing you have to respect about this guy is he doesn't beat his women but sprays them with forties. Great song as well. 4. Jesse James College Girls are Easy Tons and tons of scantly clad women. Jesse is the only white guy to crack the top ten, which is quite an accomplishment. Great song to sing along to, "Any where I go a fly girl will please me. East to west college girls are easy." 5. Too Short Money in the Ghetto This video has all the makings of a good video, but what seperates this one from the rest is the song is so horrible that it's fun to listen to. He raps about Abe Lincoln freeing the slave and put him on the five dollar bit for it and it even doesn't come close to rhyming. 6. Easy-E- Only if ya Want it Bouncing cars, forties,etc... The highlight of the video is the big fat chick in the wet t-shirt contest. No Dr. Dre' though and Eazy really needed him. 7. Hammer- Pumps and a Bump Hammer's dick. 8. D.R.S.- Gangsta Lean Tip a fortie to your memory. This song totally sucks but the video is great. Tons of forties, guns, bouncing cars, the whole nine yards. This video also features Matt's hat worn by the guy who gets shot. 9.Sepultura-Territory D.j. Rackme orders it. Remember there not white guys like Jesse James, they are Brazilian. 10. Luke- Any of his videos There's about 5 different Luke videos to choose from so don't fret over which one to pick, they all sound and look the same. The best thing about Luke video's is he has a knack for finding women with great bodies but the most disgusting faces in the world. *the little squiggilies over girl's breasts in the video. MASSIVE

PUNKS AND RAVERS... Yes I am a punk. I love the music, the liveliness of the shows, and most of all the attitude. I got into punk music when I was about twelve and I saw my first show at around thirteen. It definitely turned me into what I am now. I feel as if I owe the underground punk scene. I still buy punk music and I still jump around and play air guitar to my fave tunes. Bands like Operation Ivy, Born Against, Pleasant Valley Children, Steel Pole Bath Tub and even Green Day (no respect for the major label crap) rock my house daily. I am also deeply into tekno. I own a pair of 1200's and buy records regularly. I love all forms of electronic music from the ambience of the Orb to the abrasions of a Mokum e.p. Gabber or House, I can dig it. Parties took the place of punk shows in my life. I have not been to a punk show since August (Fifteen, good stuph.), nor have I talked to any of the punks who I thought I was close to. It's not like I'm happy about this but shows in the winter are hard to set up considering a band would be crazy to tour in a van during winter. I know that the punks are still there but the scene seems like it's dying. I remember the night Plaid Retina played in the basement of some Chinese restaurant on Oakland. It was a grand evening the music was loud, everyone was happy and dancing. Shows like that remind me of a good party, you got a killer vibe, lots of noise and most of all enough energy to make you jump around like a spaz. I wish shows were still the same but they're not, now politics have become the way of punk.(I sound like a complaining little shit who can only talk about how the old days rocked so much harder.) I used to tell all my punk friends to go check out a party. I figured that if one of these parties could blow my mind they'd be plenty satisfied. No one ever checked 'em out for whatever reason. This was like late 92 when the parties were getting big and if you remember going to Flavor-rave, Humanity, or Romper Room you know exactly what I'm saying. The punks are a bunch of close minded cheap skates. In fact the punks are so close minded that Maximum Rocknroll wouldn't review Massive #2! Why? I dunno. We are a D.I.Y. mag. We are underground. I just don't get it. I also hate the stares I'll get from punks, like a greater than thou thing. It really doesn't matter though because I've seen and done everything punk has to offer. It sucks though because the punks have a lot in common with ravers. We are all into the do it yourself approach. Look at a punk show in a basement then look at a rave in a loft or warehouse, not much of a difference really. The music is opposite instrument wise but the level of energy and harshness is there. It's all so underground. There's a risk element involved with both (shows get busted too). The over all feeling of being involved with either scene is a warm one. Even attending a party or show can be a life changing experience. The anti-racist, sexist, and homophobic morals are dominant between punks and ravers which further pushes the unity topic. So to make this long story short we should all get along..pphhhlfffhphaaaprrt

RAVE VS PUNK...... The punk scene has a turnover rate higher than McDonald's. People are here today and gone tomorrow. They burn out, primarily because they get into this music scene in order to make some sort of personal or social change, and when they see that the world largely doesn't give a fuck what they have to say, they bail out. This is true now more than ever, partially due to the fact that punk rock has become so accessible and commercialized. But a bigger factor is that, for the most part, punk rock just isn't too much fun anymore. What passes for funny is usually on the same level as one of those bonehead suit and tie comedians you see all over the TV late at night. We've lost our sense of the ridiculous, the absurd, and the outrageous. We've lost our sense of humor. That's one thing I definitely don't find very funny. Take the last sentence of the first Ben Weasel quote and then consider the above. We have lost our sense of humor. I'd hate to bitch some more about 'the way we were', but how come no one acts stupid/dresses up/ gets naked/ etc. like we used to. Rave just isn't fun anymore. With humor, we also must think about the zines. MOT has always focused on humor over anything else. Only recently have we been criticized for having nudity and pick-up lines in our layout. And no, it doesn't represent a 'hardcore all the way' philosophy (see Dave Prince's article, Massive 2). Let's get back to the light-hearted hedonistic attitude we had a year ago. Perhaps then we'll change the world. That'd be neat. The above rant was taken from a Maximum Rock and Roll (notice this Nate!) article by Ben Weasel. MMR, I have found, is a perfect guidebook for someone who wants to start a zine or newspaper. Now, on to the article. Perhaps I shouldn't use the punk scene as an example; that's what Zak is for- but I believe Ben Weasel's words can apply directly to the Rave scene. We all jump into the scene with the idea that, other than having a good time, we're gonna change the world. If the hippies could do it, so can we. The media jumped onto Rave. So did the mainstream. Only months ago could one watch the 60 Minutes and 48 Hours exposes on rave, then pop the 'Rave' mix of 'Whoomp there it is' into their CD player. massive → Matt Mot Massive pictured above: an early Stark Reality fan and Zak wanna-be. basically what this sez is if it sounds good, bug out to it. A lot of the arguments I hear against certain kinds of music is that against their simplicity. Some of my friends in Mayville used to tirelessly fret over the popularity of Nirvana's 'Smells like teen spirit' because of it's simple make-up and sound. As an up-and-coming band, they we're always looking for an original sound by trying things that we're new and complicated. They sounded like Shit. Hence Wizdom is a Kiss cover band.

/PyschoTherapy Magazine 18.5/Massive Installment/ IS LIFE JUST ONE BIG WASTE OF TIME, OR DOES IT JUST SEEM THAT WAY? I keep thinking of 1989, and I'm not sure why. It certainly wasn't a great year in my life, it doesn't even seem close. In fact I remember lots of 1989 suckin' pretty hard. Not to say I didn't have fun, learn a lot, and see new things, yeah that stuff happened, but still, for some odd reason 1989 sticks in my mind. Perhaps because I'd grown up in the 80's, going from being an eleven year old kid to a twenty year old kid, and the last year of the decade surely didn't help me hold fast to the hope that I'd never get old and see my life turn to shit. But there I was in 1989, attending UWM, working as a screen printer, playing in a punk rock band, hanging out with people, and desperately trying to have fun. As far as I can remember I just found 1989 a boring year, sure stuff happened, but it seems like most of my time was spent waiting for things to happen, I remember going to this party with these two girls I knew. It was a Saturday, and after I spent a few hours cleaning my room, I started to watch TV. The phone rings and it's Kris, she says, 'Hey ya wanna go to a party' and I sez 'sure' and she sez 'we gotta go get Cheri,' and I sez 'cool' cuz I liked Cheri, she played bass, and I got along with her pretty good, except for one argument we had about D.I. So anyway we go to this party, which was on the East Side, imagine that, the 80's, a party on the East Side, what could be better? what could be more classic? krunk if I know, maybe a sharp blow to the head would be better...but I digress. Anyway the party was, well you've been to a fuckin' party, what do I gotta explain it? People standing around drinking beer and talking to each other, and if you don't like beer then you're reduced to talking to people, which usually begins with an explanation as to why you're not drinking beer, now that's my definition of fun. Actually it could have been fun but I wasn't in the mood for fun, even though I tried to persuade people to go ride in the laundromat dryers with me, I don't even think that would have been fun at the time. Well, back to the party, people drinkin' and shit, off at my house with Kris driving, and Cheri in the back seat making out with Scott. Yes the end of another glorious Saturday night in the year of 1989. There were alot of cool things in 89, I got to see The Stench and Verbal Assault (with about a dozen other peo- listening to crappy music, etc. Cheri had a couple and she kept huggin' me and sayin I was cool, while I pretty much just stood there and was like 'yeah, ok...' I probably looked like a cop or something, I dunno. The evening eventually wound itself down and it was time to leave, I was relieved that I didn't get beat up by that gang that was trying to kill me, and content in the fact that I managed to kill a Saturday night meant I was one day closer to something happening. What that something was I really had no clue. It was raining out and I got somewhat soaked, which really didn't bother me too much, I had bigger things bothering me at the time. We gave Scott a ride home and the last thing I remember was them dropping me ple) I lived like a king when it was meal time (which was all the time) and life as a whole was pretty simple. Still, something continues to elude me and always will, something having to do with 1989. psychotherapy p.o. box 21643 milwaukee wisconsin 53221

MASSIVE ZINES ARE JUST AN OUTLET FOR ANY OLD FOOL TO SAY WHAT (he,she) THINX ABOUT OUR LITTLE SCENE HERE. I WANNA USE THIS SPACE TO SAY... FUCK YOU ALL! AND RIGHTFULLY SO CONSIDERING ABOUT 95% OF THE LAME ZINES AROUND HERE ONLY DIS EACH OTHER. FUCK 'EM! I'M IN DA HOME TO ENTERTAIN. This here magazine drives me mental. I always put everything off and I'm a lazy schmuck. This time around Matt did all the work so everyone worship him. Massive Magazine is a combined effort. If it wasn't for all the great people that support us and contribute we'd have nothing. This is a giant kiss to all the people that make massive what it is. CAR TOON. I got something going and I'm not even quite sure what it is yet, but I'm doing things now that other people my age (and older) have never and probably will never do. I think this could all just be boiling down to attitude. I'm not gonna sit and listen and I'm not gonna be a slave all my life. I could never be happy under that kind of control. It's great because I see a lot of other people who, I know, feel this way also. Things are already coming together and shit is being done. We are still poor though, still young, still learning, and most of all still organizing. Someday I'll tell the boss what he can do. Someday I'll laugh in the face of the school system. Someday I'll fuk their economics and create my own element in life to make a living from, making music, magazines, organizing gatherings or maybe I'll just open up my own little bakery! space...

WORK My prostitution was going well but all jobs suck. Working for money is stupid because all we need is food, a warm hole, and friends and I really don't think slaving away my time at work and having to buy these things is a good idea (they should be complementary with life). I wish we could be lazy bums and get paid for it cause I disagree with work and the prostitution of my flesh. Anyway I took a vacation from my job. I gots so much to do in the next three months... Graduate from high school. Move out of my parental units home, buy a car (maybe get a license), put out this mag, and throw a party in June (hint). I had saved money for a few months so hopefully I'll be O.K. If I don't explode from the pressure of all this silly stuph. WHITE TRASH (GABBER) I love the hard beats. Don't think anything could replace such power. Although every other cool motherfucker that writes a zine in this area is into breaks or some other form of tekno, I prefer spine breaking beats. A big thing that bothers me is the subject matter on some records I bought recently. On ROT 32, the "Bitch you wanna be my mistress" sample and a naked lady cold spreadin' in full color on the back cover are trivial elements. Good to jerk off over but not a ladies dance. I'm not gonna bitch about this cause I'm sure the creators don't actually think it's cool to do degrading shit like this. I would just like to say that I disagree and when I start spinnin' parties I won't let those samples ruin my mix or vibe. Oh yeah, Geetar Gabber* is on the rise. *Geetar Gabber- Flamin' guitars with the hard beats for a backbone. ex: El Bruto, Rave Rec. 198 bpm WERD The tekno thing is going a long way. Rotterdam Records is going to be working with Def America! Imagine that, we might see Neophyte videos on head bangers ball and Beavis and Butt heads across the nation will be diggin' the grooves we've grown so familiar with. Good? Bad? Either way, Rotterdam will remain hard and all the work of running an independent, underground record label is now gonna pay off. I wonder if conviently packaged tekno (the hard stuff) will cause a rush and send a thousand more ravers to our parties? I believe that the rave scene might be in for an explosion. The summer of 94 should be interesting. 1-What was your first impression of the student? My first impression of Zachary was that he was not well dressed or groomed for the interview.

Then #2 was bigger and put together with a bit more style.....oh yeah, they named a party after it too. Now #3 is here, we're actually writing for it, and I think this one is bigger than #2 was. I'd call Massive the "unified" 'zine of Milwaukee. The more people participating in Massive, the better it will be. And to think if M.O.T. hadn't of began this "mass compilation", it wouldn't be where it is today. Massive is created by all of US for YOU. Obviously it has been widely accepted by our scene and it just keeps getting better. If Massive could someday get most of the 'zines in the midwest to throw somethin' in, it could be the VOiCe of the whole midwest scene. The more unity we all supply, the better off all of us will someday be. The opinions in the scene are so widely different, there has to be a 'zine for each one. If you are thinking of starting a 'zine, do it....print out a few hundred and hand it out at a party. I was very unfortunate not to be at "NEBULA" in Chicago, January 22, but from what I heard, the 'zines were in abundance.....lots of new ones.....most of the same old ones...bring on the shit.

SPECIAL GUEST WRITER --> J.E. or "QUESO BOY" An InnerView by QUESO BOY A week or so ago (many more by the time this is printed) I had a clever thought. Why not show the real differences between two kinds of people who are considered to be exact opposites by just about anyone who looks. These, of course, are the Holy and Good prep & the degenerate raver. I interviewed one of each, and instead of giving their thoughts in my words, I'm going to be lazy and just print what they said. What you see here are the unabridged replys (on the right) to the unabridged questions. (on the left) Names have been withheld to protect the guilty. Q's (QUESTIONS) < Prep > < Raver > 1.

RAGE PAGE 2. FUCK YOU PEARL JAMMERS! BY QUESO BOY This is an article about a group called Pearl Jam. It certainly isn't the first, and most likely not the last. I'm not going to tell you what Pearl Jam is or what they do because I know that YOU know. So far in every article, story, feature, review etc., I've seen the author try to describe Pearl Jam's sound, look, beliefs to alot of people who already know. It always ends up sounding stupid, so why not skip it? What I really want to know is what's the big deal? Do teens really need to destroy the very music aimed at them? Everybody knows "Ten" was a big hit. Does anyone know why? Somehow I find it very hard to believe that millions of kids were inspired by Vedders thought-provoking lyrics. Yet, when asked, it seems almost all alleged Pearl Jam fans give some bullshit answer about "poetry" or "lyrics". Keep in mind that these are the same jock assholes who grab girls in the hall and wrestle with each other in the shower. I do realize that there are cool people out there who can truely get into this type of music. But how many millions can truely relate to "Jeremy" or "Daughter"? Listening to deep music is exactly like reading a book. You can't just look at only the words or just read or skim them. You have to think to really get anything out of it. I figure about 1% are truely thinking, 29% are hearing, and 70% are listening 'cause everyone else is. So to the wannabe grungers who are turning good music into a fad, (the Pearl Jammers) go THE FUCK home. (This article is not at all promoting Pearl Jam. We all know they are a lost group in the mad dash for prep sell-out music. Please do NOT take this article the wrong way.) WHY PREPS SUCK. 1. Exploitation of good alternative bands. 2. More singles than real CD's 3. Actually keep count of days until new Pearl Jam CD release. 4. Think its pronounced "pre-mis" 5. Flannel bought at the GAP. 6. Wear Guess jeans. 7. Think Musicland is a koolie place to go. 8. Think Ministry is a church group. 9. Think Jello Biafra is a french dessert. 10. Get better grades so their parents raise their allowance so they can buy more alternative music and furthur sell out more bands, drawing them away from their real fans. "WHAT SLOP." X T C YEAH!.....

periform SUPPLEMENTAL VERSION 0.1 My name is Jedidiah the Messiah. Spine asked me to pen a few words for this rag. Hopefully I can do this for future issues of this publication. So, without further ramblings, I submit to you the following. I think that a lot of people who attend underground dance gatherings would possibly like to purchase some of the music they hear, however, many don't own turntables. So, I've decided to review a few compact discs that are currently available. Please note, these CDs are imports, and probably are not stock items at your local music supplier. Please, and I stress this, please demand these CDs be ordered. Tell the salesperson that they are available through Watts Music in New York. Do not let them blow you off. If they can not, or will not, order these selections, their stores are not worth patronizing. I've also added several things that caught my eye recently, along with 3 top ten lists of music I'm playing at the moment. Next issue, I'd like to review a lot of really good vinyl thats come out in the past few months. Spank! INFLUX-UNIQUE (U.K.) These boys from Brooklyn (I think) got a lot of turntable time from me last year with several quality E.P.'s of innovative midtempo, acid/hardtrance cuts. 13 more tracks of progressive techno on mega-label Rising High's sub label Sapho that should be well worth hunting down. ACID JUNKIES-PART 3 (BELGIUM) They're back again with another installment of old-school acid mayhem. Parts 1 & 2 we're chock full o' squelchy, clever movers and this should be no exception. Slow and chunky to fast and stabbing, the masters lay down some more law. THUNDERDOME 5-VARIOUS ARTISTS (BELGIUM) Double CD of hard power techno at its best. You can't go wrong with this, check out some of these cuts: Rob Gee & Repete/ Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo-Riot In N.Y., Lenny Dee-R.A.W., Simstim-Onee Hundred & Two Hundred, Dr. Mindfuck-Baine, Dano-Let The Drum Computer Roll, Omar Santana-Raw To The Core, T.N.T.-Kiss The Ground, Too Fast For Mellow-In My House, Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo-Ultimate Sex Track, Human Resource-Fuck Them, Genlog-Revolution, Hardliners-Mutherfuckin Breakbeat, Holographic-Hardcore Future, the list goes on. RAUSCHEN-VOLUME 4 (GERMANY) Multistyled thumping percussive techno from the Motherland. A well rounded compilation with hard breakbeats (or breakcore as its called at times), hardcore, and fast hard trance compliments of Ilsa Gold, Speedfreak, Biochip C, Space Cube, Doc Tom, Jammin Unit, Exit 100, Affie Yussuf, Mike Inc., Force Mass Motion, D.J. Red Alert, Alec Empire, Age, and Ultrahigh. There must be something in the beer these freaks swill. Yes! BEST OF SYNTHESIZER DANCE VARIOUS ARTISTS (GERMANY) In the late Eighties, high energy underground European synth music was sought out by those in the know. While industrial beats droned on, bubbling oversears there was a precursor to much of the trance music we know today. Outfits like Koto and Laserdance soothed us into the Nineties with well thought out and crafted quality cuts. Although the titles or artist were rarely known or appreciated, we danced nonetheless. This double CD kicks with tracks including Hypnosis-Pulsar, Rygar-Star Tracks, Man Machine-Music,Laserdance-Shotgun,, Laserdance-Laserdance, Koto-Dragon, Rofo-Theme, Koto-Visitors, and a few mega mixes also. ESP VOLUME 4-TRANCE ATLANTIC HIGHWAYS-VARIOUS ARTISTS (BELGIUM) Consistent quality label ESP releases 14 tracks on CD. 7 cuts are unreleased as of yet. A must with the likes of Nico, Nightripper, XMT, Cosmic Baby, Walter One, Format, Astronauts, Beyond, Waxworks & more. TECHNOHEAD II-HARDER AND FASTER-VARIOUS ARTISTS (U.K.) A nice compilation of tracks from all over Europe that covers a lot of power-techno/gabber ground. 14 tracks of ass kickin' cuts including: Technohead-Accelerator 1, Riot Squad-Gabberkeissen, Frantic Explosion-Boom Bang, Igor-Talking About God, Chosen Few-Freedom, Fuckin' Hostile-Fuckin' Hostile, Rotten Duck-Andromeda, Hocus Pocus-Postcard From Armageddon, plus more. FUTURESCOPE-VARIOUS ARTISTS (GERMANY) Find this now! A great selection of hardtrance/acid cuts on one CD. Acid Scout, Mark NRG, Cerebus, Tom & Norman, Legend B, Illuminators 2, Postman, Oym Dim, CZ 101, Submachine, Casper Houser, Art of Trance, Union Jack, Norman, and Gatorades all appear on this one. This is some of the best stuff that Europe has to offer, with the Union Jack and Gatorades cuts alone justifying this purchase. According to findings in Beer Marketer's Insights, moderate alcohol consumption reduces coronary artery disease. Regular moderate drinkers "retained slightly stronger cognitive skills" than abstainers or heavy drinkers, and "higher mineral bone density." They also cite a study that found people who consumed two drinks per day had 50 percent fewer colds than non-drinkers From the Montreal Gazette: What would you do with an almost $300,000 insurance settlement? An English mortorcyclist who was awarded the money after losing his leg in an accident poured it into Britain's beer economy, spending it all in less than ten years. A judge ordered him banned from every pub and bar in England and Wales for 12 months after he started a brawl in a pub. Ruff! The Pecheur Brewery in France is working on a version of non-alcoholic beer for animals. Made from beer making leftovers and enriched with vitamins and mineral salts, the concoction will be touted as a power drink for pets and is currently being test marketed in Japan From a recent issue of OMNI Magazine: While NASA uses radio telescopes to scan the skies for extraterrestrials, a group from Kenosha, Wisconsin, has a more aggresive approach. The so-called "Moderns" are building "UFO magnets" out of crystals, electronic equipment, and spare parts, hoping to lure aliens down from outer space. Built by Modern member Otto Maddix, the new technology was mounted at the Kenosha Veterans Memorial fountain, where some 25 people watched the gizmo spin madly for about 45 minutes before it fell apart. "We hope the crystals inside put out some kind of signal," Maddix says. But the technology, which Maddix and the Mods claim can send signals faster than the speed of light, has come under fire. "There were lots of questions about the technical details," notes local bar owner Jon E. Mod (a.k.a. Jon Madison), who initiated the work. "People questioned whether it actually functioned as a magnet at all." To quiet the critics, Maddix, the technician of the group, has now completed work on his second generation magnet. This time, he has worked to create a laser-light display that projects graphics appealing to the alien sense of art. The device also incorporates an extra terrestrial detector that can distinguish between humans and aliens," he adds, "That will be convenient, because if someone shows up and claims to be an alien, we'll have a way to find out." NAMASTE - A Nepalic greeting that translates: "I respect the place in you that receives me such that we can be as one"

SOME LIKE IT HOUSE Quadrasonic 3710 South 15th Street Sheboygan, WI 53081 USA (414) 452-0442 Phone or Fax Mr. Bill housing it! QUADRASONIC QUADRASONIC Hello and welcome once again to the Quadrasonic ranting in the grand publication which is Massive. Well, much to my dismay, I haven't been to a rave since new year's so I really don't have much to offer as far as party-opinionation goes. Hence, the contents hereof will essentially be music oriented (as usual). Most of my rave information has been coming to me over the Internet as of lately, a resource which I am much thankful for, being located in the grand metropolis of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. From these mailing lists and such, I have derived two terms which seem to sum up the way midwest rave scene is heading...St. Louis and Minneapolis. Damn. They have it going on...bringing in such talent as Jeno, Garth, Noel, Richie Hawtin, Josh Wink, Jon Williams, etc. This is where its at folks...the nonstop gabber stuff is getting old...time to evolve...natural selection in the rave scene. Anyway...The other word of the day is Cleveland City records. This is by far one of the most interesting labels floating around these days and Q-Sonic highly reccommends any of their releases. CLE 13005-Tst Fever Posse-Chubby Chunks Volume One CLE 13006-B-Line-Herbal Hand/Come To It CLE 13007-Direct 2 Disc-Don't Stop CLE 13008-Dig the New Breed-Who's No. 1 CLE 13010-Screen 2-Hey Mr. DJ CLE 13011-Rhyme Time Prod-Go Back CLE 13012-Direct 2 Disc-The Back Stab Ep CLE 13014-Tst Fever Posse-Dubs 4 Clubs Ep Cleveland City Imports-Alex Party-Read My Lips Check these Out...guaranteed not to dissappoint. Also, keep an eye on Hardkiss records. Rumor has it they have some incredibly killer tracks ready to release (not unlike their previous work).

ALICE IN FROGLAND PARIS SCENE REPORT...NICK NICE Greetings again from Paris. It's been a while since my last report and in that time I've watched the Paris rave scene completely burn itself out. There's still so-called raves happening here but the original rave spirit has moved elsewhere. The events that are being called raves are simply money making affairs for promoters, but mostly it's the drug dealers who have the most cash. No longer is it a happy experience to goto a Parisian rave - it's basically a huge drug market for a bunch of 14-18 year old kids there trying to find their drugs - the music being completely secondary. At a recent rave I worked, it was impossible to avoid the hordes of young arabian drug dealers offering everything from pot to ecstacy and even crack! It was shocking to see that not one person had come to the event for the love of music but rather to score their drugs for the night. I'm not anti-drugs but to me, the music comes first - if you're going to an event to get fucked up, you don't belong there - you're not a raver. Unfortunately, the Parisian raves are now a picture perfect copy of how the media in France [and the US] has portrayed them to be - huge drug parties for underage kids. But, the death of rave in Paris is not necessarily a bad thing - the scene had been going downhill for a while and it was only a matter of time before it burned itself out. There has been a general return among the post-rave crowd to the safety and comfort of clubs [no worries about police busts, 1 hour drives to lame events or getting beat up for no apparent reason]. Overall, the rave scene [throughout the world] has served numerous purposes; it broke down alot of barriers between people, opened up a worldwide communication network, created a huge independant music and print media that has led to the death of the major label superstar, changed the stagnant club attitude and musical programming and revitalized it. Now you can goto a club w/out having to be dressed super trendy and meet lots of different types of people as well as hearing an incredibly wide variety of underground dance music that would have been a club DJ's pipe dream before the rave movement. So to me, the death of rave is not a bad thing since it directly changed a lot of the things wrong in our world. It's just hard for alot of people to accept it's death [in Paris and throughout Europe]. But one visit to a Parisian rave will convince you - RAVE IS DEAD, RIP. To me, the post-rave future is 1) the continuation and growth of the underground music labels, zines and communications networks; 2) the return to the clubs where one can have a good time in a safe and comfortable environment; 3) A return to smaller non-profit back to basics parties with friends and friends of friends. The death of rave is actually the beginning of an even larger movement, in my opinion. Fortunately, because the rest of France is so far behind Paris and the rest of the world when it comes to any sort of movement, there's still some incredible raves happening through the rest of the country. I've been DJing all over France the past few months and I can personally attest to the fact that the scene in the Provence is how Paris used to be 3 years ago. The people are really enthusiastic and happy to be discovering something new. Everytime I DJ in the Provence, it's like going into a time warp to a period when things were simpler and the whole scene was just beginning. Plus, the raves take place in wild locations like ancient castles, abandoned cathedrals, etc. An event in Nancy [Eastern France] on Feb 19th had to be one of the craziest - it took place in the basement of a functioning church! We were forced to stop the music at 9am in the main room becuase the priest [who was trying to hold regular sunday mass] came down to complain about the constant boom-boom-boom the churchgoers were having underneath them. So we moved the party to the chill-out room next door onto a tiny boom-box stereo system so as not to disturb the mass. The party was still going strong at noon when I had to leave to catch my train. That was a serious rave - the people in Nancy know how to have a good time. So, Basically, if you're planning to visit France, skip the Parisian raves [or else go to The Queen] and head straight to the countryside and be prepared to take a trip back in time - before it's too late.

KLUB/TECHNO. KLUB/TECHNO. Jam and Spoon...Right In the Night (rmx) (Dance Pool, Germany). A relatively interesting 2x12" by the trance masters, Jam El Mar (Dance 2 Trance) and Mark Spoon, featuring the vocals of Rising High Collective's Plavka (ie A Fever Called Love). The Jam and Spoon mix is relatively commerical trance but when Microbots and Arpeggiators take control of the track, it develops a more mind controlling and underground feel (very Harthouse-ish). Not Bad. Reel 2 Real...I Like To Move It rmx (Positiva, UK). These are the UK remixes of the Strictly Rhythm track released late last year. Once again, features the ragga rap vocals of the mad stuntman with a very strictly rhythm house kick. Features five remixes the most interesting of which is the percussive UK moody house mix. Not as good as their first track but still rocks much. Check it. Capricorn...Harikiri (Global Cuts, Belgium). This is the long awaited follow up to last year's "20hz" (you know...the drum song) this time rocking the bass line rather than the snare drum. Don't have much to say about this one...cept it's good. Laurent Garnier...Planet House Ep (FNAC, France). Not only does Laurent Garnier rock on the 1200's, his excellence is equalled in the studio as well. This double 12" pack is in the same genre as his previous A Bout De Souffle release except a little less acidic and more spacey. Very thick bass kicks accompany a series of innovative progressive tones following the FNAC style. Rock On, Milwaukee! Underground Resistance...Galaxy 2 Galaxy (UR, US). This proves my point that the global techno dance movement needs to move beyond simple hard gabber nonsense. The Detroit creators of such grinding thumpers as "Punisher" and "Death Star" have pumped out a release which surpasses all of the former, Galaxy 2 Galaxy. This record is ambient, house, acid, techno, progressive, trippy and all dat...This is the best UR record ever...straight up.

the truth of ROLAND, 1983ad Acid is back full force. Breakbeats are always interupted by deep bass. Hardcore is never complete without that "Rotterdam Kick". What makes all this possible? A Japanese synth company named Roland. In 1983 Roland released the last of it's pre-MIDI products: SH-101, MC-202, TB-303 and TR-606. The next year they released the Juno-106 and the following year the TR-909. Of course the Hip-Hop favorite TR-808 was released a few years before any of these.. Today these wimpy little boxes (303s in particular) command obscene prices. The TB-303 and TR-606 are what makes acid possible (303 for the synth lines 606 for the drums). The 101 is the world's most universally accepted monophonic bass synth. The 202 is the most mysterious piece of gear in the world (nobody can agree on what it's good for, I'll let you know when I get one, but Hyperactive is using it as a sync box). The 909, on the other hand, is used for drums on everything from Euromasters to Ace of Bass. And we all know what is done with the 808, but it is also being put to fantastic use in the acid kingdom (check out ESP's Bad Acid, No Such Thing on Drop Bass Records). The last piece of trivia we'll discuss is the Juno-106, this piece is presently being used for bass and leads in everything from Snoop Doggie Dog to Da Jungle. The point to this article is to add just a little more info. to the minds of those faceless souls standing in front of 56 JBL 15" subs, chanting things like "Three oh Three!" Remember, I own this stuff. If you have any questions feel free to ask.. Never sell any vintage Roland to an Industrial band. -MARK VERBOS- 303! waterworks you're among friends. 4142561379 DELTA NINE Debut Release coming soon on Drop Bass Records Watch, wait, and listen....

PUKE LAB an experiment in sound. Massive on January 7 1994, special Massive correspondent/photojournalist Jeddidiah the Messiah took us into the Puke Lab-- an experiment in sound. A lengthy story it would be, my friends, to concoct an explanation of the origin and purpose of Puke Lab-- and a good amount of bullshitting to. So, join us in an anthropological look at the other side-- when you mix a pack of industrial, beer guzzling good ol' boys (and their chicks, too) with the usual Milwaukee-bred Rave crowd... it's Casual, you know what I'm sayin? 1. The head of festivities. Is that a Skinny Puppy t-shirt? 2. Puke Lab's finest gettin' a little casual.... 3. The Puke Room boys.

TQ tittie queen A Candid Interview with Massive's Breeder Boyism himself: Matt Mot Massive INSIDE: 42 Things You can do in your spare time

LAST DANCE WITH MARY JANE Here's the scenario: Mister Doughnut at four in the morning, Matt, Jodi, Kurt, Me, and a couple jelly filled and Boston cream doughnuts. The original plan was just to get some doughnuts go to Kurts , instead we discovered Mary. We went and picked up Kurt and came back down. Mary was your average worker other than the fact she had Duncan Doughnuts uniform and skitzophrenia. We decided to have a little chat with Mary about her ex-husband, children, her mother, and the four things you should never talk about. Heed the words out of Mary's potty mouth. Us- Hey were back Manager- Don't get her all riled up Us- Oh were not, we just want to eat our doughnuts. Ya got any cartons of milk? Mary- Milk? Us- Yeah, cartons of Milk. Mary- How many? Us- Two. Mary- My mother got a divorce. I got nothing against my mother. She didn't have me grow to be no snottin' brat either. Us- Shit no. Mary-Shit no is right. Bless her heart even when I was in jail.... Us- What were ya jail for? Mary- Shit, I wasn't old enough to be on the streets. Us- How you end up with a Duncan Doughnuts uniform? Mary- My mother was good. I didn't have to worry about a thing. Us- Right there, there's a fucking penny. Mary-Fuck, that's a good word to say instead of swearing. Us- yeah instead of the Lord's name. But did ya ever wonder where the word fuck came from? Mary- I don't know, but I'll tell ya one thing. I'm a fuckin' cursin' bastard. My mother said never bring up these for things money, sex, religion, and family. Us- Why not sex? Mary- I don't want no kids. I'd kill it before it's seven. That's the age of reason. And if I didn't I'd hang 'em over a bridge and scare the living shit out of 'em. Us- What about your husband? Mary- He's perfect, he's a lucky son of a bitch, fuckin bastard. The best I can be too him is stay away from 'em and say a prayer..... Mary went of for a few more hours with the same rhetoric so look for more of the interview in MOT and look for Mary as the M.C. at all future Drop Bass events.
