propagate the underground Long gone are the days of rave accented by mass involvement. A party goer with wit of the past can remember a time when, in Milwaukee alone, at least 8 tee shirt 'companies' we're pumpin' out new designs for the scene to don. Designs ranged from the simple unity messages to out and out graf skillz. The major point to be made here was that we were slightly feeding ourselves, striving to be self sufficient... For ravers By ravers; keepin' the cash in the scene instead of further adding to the bulge of corporate pockets. So where did all these little companies go? Many realized the slim margin between profit and expenses, while in other cases, too many people saw through some of the money making tactics of those who wern't true to the scene. So, back to the stores many people flocked, to be overcharged for designs that everyone would have and gear of no more quality than anything else.... But now we must question whether or not we should be slaves of fashion or be dedicated to what supports us. Support the scene that supports you- one of the well known catches that can be attributed to this mag. Wanna hear a story about support? Well, as a magazine, Massive relies on advertising in a big way, so calls were made to many large clothing companies on the coasts because it would seem that the shit so many raver types have on there backs would be the first to put a little money back into the scene that made them so large.... "Uh, that's not the crowd we're aiming our advertising at" -Well, they're all wearing your stuff- "Sorry, not interested". There you go, all you raver types just got fucked up the ass- you give them money, they don't acknowlege your existance... sounds fair. Take a look in as many rave-type pubs and see how much they really want your money. Hip Hop crews can relate also, check out the editorial in the February issue of The Source about how Timberland, maker of outdoor gear popular in the inner city, won't even advertise in hip hop mags or run commercials aimed at urban youth... even though since their popularity sales have went up 52%. Too bad no one ran demographics on skate gear companies at the moment the party crowd took them under their wing. Now that raves aren't common stab footage for TV stations and have finally returned to rest in a more underground environment, the companies that boasted so true don't even want you. Is your ass bleeding yet? It's time that we start building our underground and support whats true... instead of continiously being written off as neo-hippies with a lot of time on our hands. Get shit going on for yourself and your friends, and when the door opens, drag along as many as you can. This means when Mr. Media does take notice again (and he will) make the best picture possible, instead of being a walking ad for Split/Adidas Incorporated. I'm finished- It's time for the new Underground. Matt Mot Massive watch for atp's 1 year anniversary party D-DAY in oct. DELTA NINE Hardcore Chicago you Pussy Motherfuckers out now: DEEP 13 (drop bass 010) upcoming releases: HATE TANK (12 guage records) : T.B.A. (drop bass records) booking info - 312.509.8068

Interview with D.J. Drone of minneapolis story, photos, and graphics by SHERI expositor© DAVID JAROSZ is the one and only breakbeat dj. of Minneapolis, MN. Drone is hailed as the Midwest's finest breakbeat dj. However, he is very underrated against all the other kinds of "hardcore" djs. At age 23, he has put his scholastic studies on the hold for the moment. David is a busy boy trying to balance his time in a band, dj-ing, and working at Let It Be Records. 1. How did you get involved in the dj-ing business and how long have you've been spinning? I have been dj-ing for 4 years. I've been doing raves for almost two years. I started with weddings and high school dances employed under my brother-in-law. 2. Who are your role models? KEVIN COLE. He's one who brought techno and after hour parties here in Minneapolis. I remember hours of studying and watching him spin. JOEY BELTRAM. Early Beltram releases are what drew me in techno. "Energy Flash" is one fucking awesome track. He knows what he's doing in the studio. I've always looked up to him. 3.. Why do you spin breakbeat and do you feel any alienations being the only breaks dj in Mpls? I spin breaks because I love the strange, deep bass lines, and the driving beats. I heard a mix-tape by D.J. New Age from Europe a couple of years ago. He spun the most wickest breaks! It was so full of energy and a certain feeling that came through with his music. I instantly fell in love with it and started to spin breaks myself. 4. What is so special about your breaks that breakbeat haters praise your spinning? (i.e. T-1000, Repete, Apollo, ATP, etc.) I really don't know. I'm honored that they dig my style. I like to do a lot of tricks in my set. I like to cut-up. At a Depth Probe, my friend timed my mixes. I was averaging 4 mixes in two minutes. 5. Do you agree with Chicago Hardcore Authority's (a zine dedicated to breaks and headed by D.J. JJ Jellybean) stance on breakbeat? About the C.H.A.'s stance on breakbeat, I love what they are doing to get breaks upfront to make people realize that breakbeat is for real. But on the other hand, I feel everyone should be open minded to all other types of music. I love breaks to death, but I also listen to The Field Mice, Ride, Pale Saints, Cocteau Twins, the Beatles, to....... the list goes on. I like house music also. If I'm not spinning breakbeat, I'm spinning house. House to me will always be around. It has been in the beginning and is still strong. 6. What is your opinion on U.K. hardcore, jungle, and darkside breaks and the talents of other breakbeat djs?

I love them all. I do prefer hardcore breaks to play, but my direction changes from time to time. Anyone who spins breakbeat is special in my book. We should all stick together since there is not a lot of us out there. 7. Why do you think breakbeat not as popular as "Gabberhaus" is in the Midwest? Is there something that could change that? Breakbeat is a specialty. Either you like it or you don't. It's hard to dance to. (Maybe that's why people don't like it.) Gabber is four on the floor where breaks take a little more thinking to dance to. Exposure. People need to more exposed to it. (For starters, read C.H.A. and Junga' Vibes and listen to all the U.K. hardcore, junglist, and darkside dj mix tapes you can get a hold of.) 8. How do you feel about Minneapolis' scene and where is it heading? Our scene is young, along with the group. This isn't bad that the crowd is very young, but where did all the older crowd go? People now associate "raves" with a young crowd, lasers, techno, and drugs. It seems now that kids go to raves just to get drugs and take them. I don't see people going to raves for the music anymore. (And the music is what it's all about.) The house parties of Minneapolis' past brought in the older crowds. Why is it hard to combine the two age groups? I'm sick of the kids who act all so "kwel and tuff" who live with mommy and daddy in the suburbs. They complain about how tough their life is but actually their lives are easy compared to the rest of us. These kids do not have to deal with bills, insurance, jobs, etc. Blech..... In this scene that preaches "unity and peace" there are a lot of sub-groups of people who sit around and judge each others, the name drop thing, you have to wear this or that, and act all bullshit. Open your minds up and let everyone in. 9. Do you think there is an "unconscious breakbeat boycott" among Midwest promoters? Why is there never a big breakbeat dj to be the main headlining act? (Destiny in Chicago on 5/28 is the only exception). * If they are any breakbeat dj as part of the party's venue, they are usually on the bottom of the Flyer printed in teenie-weenie font size. A lot of promoters in the Midwest don't like breaks. They don't want that certain kind of music. Still to this day, more people are opening up to breaks. 10. How do you feel about all the "political red tape" in the rave scene here in Mpls? Do you also think this will harm the flourishing scene? It sucks. Everyone preaches "Unity" but very few actually hold to it. Money has a lot to do with it. Certain promoters are in it to make a $$$ and do not want others to "invade their territory." Can't we all just get along? I do think that these squabbles will eventaully kill our scene. Smaller parties will take over. 11. Tell EX© more about your "other musical" pursuits. I'm in the band, DEARLY. I play the BASS not the drums (EX© #6 error). We just came out of the studio, and we are practicing a lot for our upcoming shows here in Minneapolis. We also have a 7" record coming out this summer on an indie label here in Minneapolis. Also, I'm doing tracks for Mindphaseone, a "techno" band where we do anything from house to ambient tracks. Currently, I am working on some house tracks and hoping they Anyone who spins breakbeat is special in my book. We should all stick together since there is not a lot of us out there.

well get pressed. Next, breakbeat tracks. (They are really hard to make.) 12. What is your outlook and status in your future of dj-ing? My outlook - dj as long as possible. I also want to write and produce my own tracks. Recently, the owner of Let It Be Records and I entered the AbsOrb contest of re-mixing two cuts from the Orb's Live '93 album. We were the grand prize winners. It was a worldwide contest. We won a pair of black 1200's. We had to sign a release form for the Orb's record company to own it. (There's a possibility that special mix might be released). I thought my boss was joking to me when we won. I will also through some free parties soon. Stay tuned. 13. Many people complain that they "can't dance to breakbeat." Is there a special way of dancing to it? Just close your eyes, feel the bass, and let your body go! XXXOOO Drone P.S.

interview markverbos mark verbos Massive- First off, the general gist... what's your age, where are you from, and are you a descendant of anyone famous/ remotely interesting? Mark- I'm 18, from west allis wisconsin (a suburb of milwaukee), and I'm related to matt verbos, the original head of the puke room. Massive- Well, since that's a story only to be discussed in Rehab atmosphere, what are your claims to fame in the Midwest? Mark-In 1993 I helped start waterworks, a drink company out of milwaukee. About the same time I performed some live music at a basement party. One of the drop bass guys heard the music and liked it. He asked me to come over and told me they wanted to release my music on their new label. I have since performed at a few parties around the midwest. Well, it is almost a year later now, and finally my first record is slated for release august 15. Massive- So what kind of music do you make and what equipment do you use? Mark-equipment list-TB-303 x 2, TR-808, TR-909,TR-606, MC-202, MKS-7 x 2, S-330 sampler,ESQ-1, MOOG prodigee, mixes on a mackie 1604 with effects from a BOSS SE-50, BOSS rackmount, distortion box. My music is acid. The speeds change the moods change, but it is all about 303. Most of my equipment is old and analog. Really, the only thing I have that is less than five years old is my mixer, a Mackie 1604. When I play live sets I use only a 303 and a 606. As far as I know I'm the only one doing what I'm doing right now, taking the acid machines to the DJ table and playing an improvised set. Massive- Some buffs of the past can remember your live performances with other instruments, no Rolands in sight... why the change, the fixation? Mark- When I first started doing this type of thing I used my Ensoniq ESQ-1 and a Roland TR-909. The vintage Roland drum machines are the only way to go in dance music because they have so much kick, more bass and a real unique, identifiable, and synthetic sound. I started with an Alesis HR-16 but got away from it because it sounds like

real drums. No rock and roll here. The Roland synths appeal to me because they don't sound like anything but what they are. They are not an attempt to simulate anything they are not, like most modern synths do. They also offer extensive creative control of the sounds in real time, from the front panel. Massive- Has any new equipment been developed that has caught your fancy, or is there a major flow for that 'real' sound? Mark- Most new equipment simply plays back samles of other sounds rather than creating a new one. Some newer synths like the Korg Wavestation and the Waldorf Microwave are very innovative and unique, but for every cool machine there are hundreds that suck. And small time artists like myself can't afford to run out and buy every multi-thousand rage on the block. The old stuff has a thick and true sound- and it is a rewarding hobbie collecting the stuff. Massive- So what are your influences, or is 303 manipulation purely a mental brainchild of spontaneity? Mark-I have been influenced by the local big boys, ESP and Hyperactive, but mostly by general forms of other music like disco, trance, and acid house. I love music that intends to sound robotic; not that it has no expression, but that it sounds like the computer has its own expression. I think that with a 303 the machine plays itself as much as I play it sometimes. I think the real imagery is realized long after the pattern is programmed. When I'm in front of a few hundred people and attempting to express my art the best way I can, that is when the magic takes place. No matter what patterns are in the machine, the power is in the manipulation and the knowledge of what the machine can and should do. Massive- Detractors of acid music say "Oh, anyone can do that" and many 'musicians' themselves have said the same- reaping the glory not from talent, but the simplicity of creating a 'new' sound. Mark- Unfortunately anyone can "do that" because it leaves the world with people putting out records because it is an easy buck rather than because they really love the music. For me, this is a way of life. Every bit of my creative energy goes into my music. This is sometimes not the best thing because personal problems affect my performances, but it is a part of having the emotions. My personal aspirations musically are aimed more at production than musicianship anyway. To me, acid isn't about who is the best programmer or performer, it is about showing people feelings that they know they have but don't always access. I think that dedication is necessary and that it shows through in the music. Massive- Can you illustrate how emotions can be conveyed through your performance? Mark-When I perform, none of my music is premeditated. I walk in with a 303 full of patterns and a 606 ready to be programmed. I often forget what patterns are located in what places and this forces me to improve transitions. All things ideal, I will go from one song to the next successfully and make up some exciting and innovative drum grooves. If I didn't have my heart in it I could walk in the situation with the attitude that all acid songs are the same, I could say "well I need a bass drum on every down beat , and open hihat on the upbeats, and snares on two and four," but that doesn't make for any innovation or creativity. I would be wasting your time and mine. Massive- Are there any ideas you have floating in your head for what you want to create next? Anyone you are or would like to work with? Mark- I would like to release a live set, and record some slimmed down tripper information systems making your world a better place to dance in. for more information, push: 708.786.5347 - 708.277.3415

tracks - two machine deals. I would like to work with Delta 9 on the trance project we once spoke of. I hope to jam with Davey Dave. Hopefully I will be able to spend more time with ESP. And some day I hope to hop in a studio with Richie Hawtin. But for now I am working on assembling a totally self sufficient recording rig so that I can record my own and other peoples' tracks when I move to Orlando in October. Massive- Why the move? Mark- I am going to school, Full Sail School of the Recording Arts to be exact. I will still be sending DATs up here for release, and working on the scene down there hopefully. The main advantage to the location is the closer proximity to the man, Tommy Sunshine in Atlanta. Massive- So personal evolution is underway, as is the constant change within the scene. What factors and their effects do you think will effect the changes to come. Do you think everything is going positive or is everything just going to shit? Mark- For a long time I thought that everything was going to shit, but there is a revolution happening here. We, the younger generation, are taking control of our own destinies. All the little people are getting together, and I'm sorry I can't be a part of it. I just hope that everyone can realize that this is not about who is wearing what or how many drugs you take, it is about music. In The Doors Jim said, "It's not about money, or records, or these desires that you have; it's about using the music to break through." This statement is as true today as it ever was and in a perfect world everyone would realize this to be true. Damn, what a poetic bastard. Make sure to check out Mark's performance at Atlantis (Chicago) on August 6. Support the Underground. TR-808 vs. TR-909 In the begining of the 1980s it was a rarity to see a drum machine at all, but it was especially exciting for the synthesists of the time to be offered the first truely 100% programable drum machine, the Roland TR-808. All patterns of the deep bass drum, ticky snare, sloshy hihats, 3 toms, claps, rimshot, congas, maracas, claves, 2 cybals, and exotic cowbell could be graphically layed out across a sixteen step representation of a four beat loop. The sounds could be altered too. The tone, decay, and volume of the kick and the tone and "snappy", amount of white noise,and volume of the snare and pitch of the toms/congas could be altered. Both the cymbals could be fine tuned and the open hihat's decay could be controlled. This machine was replaced in late '83 by the TR-909. The 909 had a punchier kick, a smoother snare, a harder rimshot, a thicker clap, and sampled cymbals. The percussion sounds were eliminated. Production of this machine lasted only a single year, when it was replaced by the entirely sample based TR-707. The 909 also was the first Roland drum machine to feature the now established standard MIDI (musical instrument digital interface). The Roland TR-808 and TR-909 are two of the most valued drum machines in the world today. Although they have been discontinued for about ten years they are still the driving force behind most dance music. Hip-Hop would not exist as we know it without the TR-808. Techno relies heavily on both. Although all of the sounds included in both these machines are available in countless sample collections, they are not to be written off. The sounds interact with each other within the machines and they can be varied indefinately. These machines are quite possibly the most individual and valuable machines in electronic music. mark verbos

world enlightenment installment 2 i wonder what's up with the midwest scene and where it's heading, and how it's going through phases, and how to keep it fresh. Its changing constantly, in the music, in the attitudes, in the people in general. i feel we should look at things with the thought of concern for people in our community. we need to look out for one another and care about each other, get to know each other, get to know one another so we feel more like a family. that's what i felt Further was about, a next step in togetherness... to go further as a tribe or community for our goals as a culture of our own. we go to our church, like rhythmic pow wows to celebrate life, music, and love and i wonder who's there for what reason... to escape our harsh realitys and get loose, to dance, to get wasted, to get drugs, sell drugs, steal from one another (i heard someone passed out at tornado from a balloon and someone stole his shit, what the fuck is that?). i would like for each of us to ask ourselves why we go to parties? & where it's heading (send your views to massive). i'm sick of people asking me for the trendy drug of the month at parties. go straight once in awhile and you'll probally get higher from the thick vibe in the air, the energy in the room from all these young collective souls dancing as a powerful force (its like no energy i've felt before) it's a very beautiful scene we've got, but we've got to take care of it and fertilize it correctly so it can bloom forever. (hardcore will never die, house nation will not be stopped) i think people should get the positive party coalition in these area's together and rent a park or get a spot and throw more free parties. keep the scene alive. thanks for coming to shanti & we'll see you at mosaic. may your hearts beat loudly people -brian (p.o.r.) P.O.R.

It's all good a massive supplement brought to you by your friends at fourty three d studios photos from shanti 06.11.94 thanks to all the people who helped make this event possible for all you people who don't get out much, jason helgran compiled a list of tv shows to watch: 1. mtv's house of style 2. babe watch 3. models inc. 4. melrose place 5. charles in charge 6. 90210 7. silk stalkings 8. piss poor public access you are not you, you are a fat slab of bacon

planet 6 sound system Who is Planet Six Sound System? Various members of the TAZ Collective. We prefer to remain anonymous. When did you begin and how did your music take the form it has today? Planet 6 began on the 6th floor of a building on 6th street in San Francisco around November of 92. We started out playing free jazz on electro-acoustic instruments and then gradually shifting. We now integrate all instruments, electronic and acoustic both manually and from a sequencer. Our main influence now is punk rock. What are your opinions on the current underground dance music movement (Especially in SF)? The current dance music movement is very healthy underground. There will very soon be an explosion of new music done by unknown artists all across the nation. Free parties will be the focus and the current showbiz heirarchy that is forming out of the old rave scene will soon look very sad. This is especially true of San Francisco where there has existed a very annoying cult of DJ worship. Have you any plans for any new releases? We'll have an EP out on Reflective Records by the end of this month and possibly a CD on Silent. What are your goals as a musical unit? To make exciting, adventurous, beautiful music...to inspire others...to create an anarchic environment...and support our travelling addiction. What sort of feeling to you like to convey while performing live? When we play live, we like to go unnoticed. We don't want to detract from the energy of the dancefloor by providing a spectacle. We like to charge the room with insane energy and inject surrealism into the environment. What music do you feel is most important right now? The most important music right now is being made by local musicians in small scenes all over the country. Especially records that are intended to be used by other DJ's/Musicians to make their own music. The current musical revolution is all about breaking down the old showbiz establishment which thrives by creating "Stars" and discourages people from trying to make their own music. More people should put out acid trax that are recorded on cassette tapes. These are fun to play at parties. Give us your description of the SF sound and your place in defining it... San Francisco is a multi dimensional gateway into many different times and places. Music from this city will reflect it's diversity and timeless quality. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking there is only one SF Sound. What particular musicians have influenced you as an outfit? English Festival Sound Systems, Space-Time, Eat Static, various dub originators...also, when in San Francisco, visit our regular club called S.P.A.Z. which is every Friday at #60 Sixth Street. We have two rooms with live music every week HOUSE

Juno Reactor...High Energy Protons (Novamute, US). First off, respect to Novamute for being one of very few major labels putting out stuff that doesn't completely suck shit. This record does not, however, do much of anything for me. This label should stick to stuff like Plastikman and similar innovative projects if it's interested in releasing good stuff...and drop the cheesy stuff (like Juno Reactor). With so much good music being created, it shouldn't be terribly hard for labels to find quality artists. Novamute hyped this one as being "two energetic mixes of undeniable acid trance." I don't think I heard a 303 anywhere... Bingo Bango Bongo Collective 3 (Wizz, UK). This is the third in the series of progressive slabs from UK's Bingo Bango Bongo. To be honest, I don't dig this one as much as their previous records...something about their main synth line screams "I'm Commercial!" However, it's the happy vibe that saves the record, making it worthwhile...three mixes, one song, okay record. Unreleased Ep (Romentertainment, Italy). I've always wondered how one can call a record that they've gone ahead and released as being an "Unreleased" Ep. Nonetheless, this three tracker ranks high in my collection of Italian house records. Very, very, very deep beats thrown down with clever breaks make these songs slam with energy. Rumor has it this was pressed in a rather limited number, so get your copy quick. Robert Armani...Fusebox (ACV, UK). Probably Mr. Armani's dopest Ep since Circus Bells...slammin Djax style tracks with a 909 kick rivaling any Rotterdam cut (except not that fast, of course). The best track is "Scoreboard" which makes effective use of a "Work That Shit" sample and "Fire Allarm" style siren-like sampling. Very piercing beats guaranteed to throw a "hands in the air" response in your acid set. DJ Hype...Untitled (Ganja, UK). The first release on DJ Hype's own label, Ganja Records, is quite a let-down. The A-side is spare drum and bass with a ludicrous Cypress Hill "cops...cops...come and try to snatch my crops" sample. The flipside is better but seems playable only for the educated crew, with its minimalist snares, heavy bass, and melancholy vocal sample. Rap and Aston...Digable bass b/w Get under (Proper Talent, UK). Yet another debut release, this 12" is on DJ Rap's new label, Proper Talent. "Get under" I feel is the superior of the two tunes, although your opinion may of course differ. It is ruthless and relentless drum and bass (very similar loops to "Jeopardy") with wicked dark B-lines and samples. "Digable bass" is much more on the ambient tip.

Raver High School Advanced Math Proficiency Final Exam 1)Suppose Bobby GabberHouse bought a first press Rotterdam Number One 12'' from his friend, valued at $40. If the price increases 10% per year, and he keeps it for 30 weeks, how much will it be worth? 2)Suppose Davey Dave spins for sixty-seven hours straight averaging nineteen mixes each hour. After finally collapsing during Dajae's "U Got Me Up," how many mixes has he pulled off? 3)Suppose Sven Vath plays a show at NYC's Roseland Ballroom at $21 a head. If 2000 kids show up and the supporting DJ's get 15% and the promoters pocket 25%, how much does Sven take with him to Frankfurt? (If your answer seems a little ridiculous it still might be correct) 4)Suppose Dan buys a tank of nitrous oxide to take with him to St. Louis. If this tank can fill 237 balloons and Dan uses up 37% of the tank on the way, how many balloons will he sell in St. Louis? And, If each balloon destroys 178 brain cells, how many cells is Dan responsible for destroying? 5)Suppose there are four Kinko's in Raverville. If one of the Kinko's is having a thirty percent off sale on copying, how much SHOULD it cost Matt Bonde to print an issue of MOT (20 pages at a regular price of six cents per copy)? 6)Suppose an unnamed Massive cohort steals six copy cards from each of the four Kinko's in Raverville. If each copy is good for 3000 copies, and he prints 500 copies of MOT 24, how many copies will he still have left? (Hint: Each MOT 24 has 24 pages). 7)Suppose DJ Gutten Nacht from Dortmund goes 100% ambient all night long. If 153 of the 2000 ravers fall asleep each hour, how long does the party last? 8)Suppose a local promoter is locked in a 4 X 4 X 4 foot cell and forced to listen to deep house music until he becomes legally insane. If he has a 32 hour tolerance of house music, and the torturing DJ has 2,760 minutes of music, who will win out? (Hint: the Dj cannot repeat songs...it's against the rules) 9)Suppose Raver A leaves from Sheboygan, Wisconsin for Technopolis at 9pm and Raver B leaves from St. Louis at 8pm. Technopolis gets busted at 11pm, so who finds out the bad news first? 10)Suppose Brad from Quadrasonic averages a cup of coffee each question he writes for this silly test. If each cup of coffee keeps him awake an extra 23 minutes, and he attempts sleep at 1:30am when will he get to sleep? EXPERIMENTAL

To: Matt C Bonde <[email protected]> Subject: Re: massive 4 Why Hardcore probably won't ever really hit in Chicago: CHICAGO HARDCORE AUTHORITY I finally underwent the junglist initiation last February. I went to Toronto with most of the C.H.A. crewe to attend "Meeting of the Minds". Boy! I gotta say that if anyone doesn't understand hardcore and can't get into it, they must make the trip. There. I've reiterated the C.H.A. position, and don't need to jock Toronto anymore. Well, actually, I probably should say that the party was the best I've ever been to--so good, in fact, that I almost started to get into that Princian spiritual crap despite myself. A couple fellow zine publishers, non-hardcore-heads who made the trip without knowing what to expect, described to me their "conversion" to hardcore upon attending a Delirium event (or was it Syrous?). The MC makes all the difference in the world. So does the clean sound, pleasant arena, and extensive, tasteful lighting. If you've ever heard a London or Toronto live tape, though, you'll get a taste of the almost participatory experience hardcore parties and club nights can be. Most Chicago sets are almost laughable compared to the real deal. And my fake-British-accent Silk-quoting MC'ing can't hold a candle to Clive G or MCGQ. But we try, for those of you who can't see yourselves driving the umpteen hundred kilometers across the border, to bring you joy, like Anita Baker. I wish C.H.A. had the resources to commandeer a space for our own purposes. It's pathetic to be at the mercy of a promoter who wants to please everybody. Recently, hardcore siderooms have offered people an opportunity to avoid whatever progressive music is being played on the main floor, and it seems to have worked. Like KRS, we're satisfied with pleasing our core audience and you-know-what the rest of the market. As an aside, promoters should bring glowsticks back for those of us whose inner child sometimes wins the battle with the outer adult. Without the whole package of legal venue, crisp system, deft MC, and DJ's with different styles, hardcore will remain a music for afficionadoes. Whatever. I don't feel like explaining to a former straightedge the difference between darkness and ambient breaks. It's hard enough explaining the appeal of dance music to rock and rollers. My purpose in contributing to CHA is to bring an idea of the richness, the complexity, the diversity, and the history of the music to those who would dismiss it as the music that comes on before the gabber set. Trite as it sounds, Hardcore is rave music that deals with reality. It is for those who find 'the ambient dream' (as Goldie of 4 Hero put it) false and unfulfilling. If a few people in the States "get it", then C.H.A. has succeeded in some fashion. Though it's impossible for us to imagine such a thing, raves and hardcore are, for some, AWOL -- A Way Of Life. Peace. massive

alice in frogland french scene report by nick nice Greetings once again from Cheeseland (France, not Wisconsin). It's amazing how quickly things change here in Europe - since my last report a few months back, the police throughout the country have decided that raves represent the degeneration of French society and are determined to wipe them out. What began in Paris with police breaking up more and more events has now spread throughout the entire country. It's not Grave-style busts that are happening but rather the mayors and city offices simply refusing to grant permits for events. It would be one thing if they would give their responses a few weeks in advance of the event but usually they decide to wait to the last minute to cancel the events - this occurs well after all the fliers have been distributed and DJ's have been booked so it really hits the promoters and DJ's hard. In the month of March alone, I had all of my parties where I was booked to play cancelled at the last moment. So what's basically happening throughout the country is that most events are being held in the clubs rather than funky locations. Of course there's still some underground events happening but I guess I'm too old to enjoy driving for an hour to hear some 16 year old DJ think he's the shit playing all the latest Mokum or Rotterdam releases. I prefer seeing a good DJ who knows what he's doing, knows how to move the crowd and understands what the music is about. There's alot more to life than hardcore and a good DJ is someone who listens to many musical styles (not just techno and house but jazz, classical, etc.) and learns from them. The best DJ's that I've seen in the past few months were - Kevin Saunderson, DJ Pierre, Phi-Phi (an awesome DJ from Belgium), Claude Monet (not the artist but a French DJ who is also a resident DJ at the Queen and plays alot in Belgium) to name just a few. All of them have their own style with Phi-Phi and Claude Monet leaning more towards the techno side of things and Kevin Saunderson and DJ Pierre being alot more US house oriented. Actually, listening to DJ Pierre is like listening to a DJ Pierre greatest hits CD since he basically plays only his own productions. If you're not a fan of his stuff, you probably wouldn't be a fan of his DJing. OK...On to the parties... Since the scene as a whole has been steadily on the downswing, there really aren't too many good events to report to you. The best event I spun had to be in Normandy at a D-Day Party. It was kind of cool being up in

Normandy, partying with WWII veterans who were there for the D-Day 50th Anniversary. It was also kind of scary seeing 15,000 cops as well. Anyways...the party took place in a club called Le Transfert which is located very close to where the first Allied soldiers landed in 1944. The club wasn't anything amazing but the people were. Lots of people were dressed in funky costumes and the atmosphere fantastic with people screaming at every break of each song. This was by far the most enthusiastic crowd I've ever seen in France. The really get into serious US house music up there - it was wild. Anyone who says house music is boring and makes you want to sleep should goto a party at this club...you'll never listen to hardcore again. Other than that, the only good parties have been at the Queen (where I'm a resident DJ). By far, the wildest parties have been the monthly mousse parties. This is a party that originated on the Spanish holiday island, Ibiza. You take a giant fan, add about 175 gallons of bubble fluid and voila! - you have 20-25 feet of foam bubbles that engulf the entire dancefloor with everyone beneath it desperately trying to breath. Its the most wild, out-of-control party I've ever witnessed. Of course, theres lots going on in the mousse that I can't print in this family zine - you'll have to use your imagination! Basically theres about 4-5 waves of mousse during the night - each time getting progressively higher. Between waves, the mousse rests at about waist to chest level. Definitely something you have to see to believe. On a musical note, FNAC music has now folded and become F Communications. F is headed by former FNAC boss Eric Morand and top French DJ Laurent Garnier. They're already onto their 8th release but the best 3 so far have been DS (aka Deep Side) Volumes One and Two which range from Detroit-style techno, DJ Pierre grooves and old-school house. Also, theres a new St. Germain (under the title, St. Germain-en-Laye, a Parisian suburb) called the Mezzotinto Ep. If you liked the last release on FNAC, you'll LOVE this one. There's even a cut for you acid jazz freaks out there. All in all it's a solid 5-cut EP well worth the import price. These three releases were all produced by the same man, Ludovic Navarre. His name may not be as trndy as Garnier's but one listen to these three (plus his previous on FNAC) will show you that he's infintely more talented than Laurent. Anyway...thats it for this time...as usual, feel free to write me with any questions or comments. Until Next time...PEACE! Nick Nice—40 Rue Jacob—75006 Paris—France

Evil has many faces... ... but only one i. Hey Aldous. evil-i Shortly after hearing it mentioned in Massive #2, I picked up Aldous Huxley's "Doors of Perception". It's basically his interpretations of his first experiments with mescaline (the active ingredient in peyote). His theory has been adopted by nearly every psychedelic explorer since. It goes like this: the conscious brain is a reducing valve which shuts out certain stimuli and signals and locks us out of hidden (or forgotten) areas of consciousness. The efficiency of this valve is decreased with psychedelic experiences, drug induced and otherwise. With this valve rendered slightly inoperable, man's "doors of perception are cleansed and man can see the universe as it truly is". To explain his visions Huxley believes he has reached a higher state of awareness, that he has unlocked those doors that lead to unused portions of the brain. Huxley may be right. It makes a certain amount of sense to assume that there are many things beyond what we can perceive, but once you decide your perceptions aren't real, how can you ever be sure what real is? How can you be sure these higher states of awareness are really higher? Can you be sure you're transcending and not regressing? On a trip you don't need to be sure. It feels right so that's just the way it is. You know it intuitively, it doesn't need to be proven to you. In fact many elements of reason seem pretty confining. You can't explain it. You just know. This is very similar to the dynamics of faith. Which may be why so many people feel more in touch with their spirituality during and after a trip. Believing it's true doesn't make it so. It seems more likely that psychedelic experiences are short malfunctions of the brain. An entertaining malfunction, but still a malfunction. Like the strange designs from a broken TV or the errors which occur when you yank a cartridge out of a running Nintendo. They are kind of cool and fun to look at but it's not a higher level of TV programming. The vision inducing drugs are all toxic and many were originally designed to help researchers study disorders like schizophrenia. One major component in LSD is also found in strychnine, a potent rat poison. Peyote is so toxic your body outright rejects it and pukes it up. Other vision inducing techniques include fasting, physically exhausting your body, lack of sleep, repetitive sounds and chants, strobe lights (sound familiar?). It all might fuck up your brain but compared to alcohol and other additive chemicals it's probably the best way to fuck it up (it's certainly the most fun). This article is not to dissuade anyone from enjoying a trip (how ever you get there). I just want to make you question yourself, what are you really seeing? Are you witnessing cosmic communion or just watching your brain atrophy? The Asshole Conspiracy By Sir PooPoo The first amendment states we have the right to free speech. In reality this means we have the right to be an asshole. What other country could be home to Howard Stern and the lovable Rush Limbaugh? Because of the large percentage of assholes in America, strength in numbers has caused them to become organized. This is the largest conspiracy in our country, dwarfing the power and influence of the trilateral commission, skull and bones, and even the masons. Their goal? A state consisting solely of assholes. An asshole homeland, if you will. A place where assholes the world over would be welcomed and protected. They try to do this by subversively and subtly attempting to convert all non-assholes to the glory of asshole-ism. It is accomplished like this: an asshole is walking down the street (doing the things that assholes do) and he steps on your foot and continues on down the street oblivious to your existence (a common asshole ploy). Your immediate reaction? "Hey asshole! You just stepped on my foot!" Being loud and rude, just like him. The asshole won that round. The correct response is "have a nice day!" with the biggest smile you can muster. He doesn't expect this and it will confuse him for days. They expect an assholes reaction and when they don't get it, they get very upset and don't know what to say. Don't fall into their trap. Don't be an asshole. Goddammit, I missed the 70's! evil-i It's was a Saturday night and after Steven K.'s late night beat generation I heard "Night Fever" from the BeeGee's. That's when it hit me. Goddammit, I missed the 70's! I know a lot of people make fun of the 70's, but just think about man, I missed Charley's Angles, watergate, Behind The Green Door, punk (not that rehashed bullshit out now), white guys with afro's, bell bottoms (they were much cooler then), Blackula, Cheech and Chong, Charo, Sly and the family Stone, jive, Bob Marley, funk, lots of long hair, good cheap widely accessible drugs, the Playboy empire at the height of decadence, the end of Vietnam, disco (but I hear it's makeing a comeback), the spirit of '76, the Jeffersons, King Tut, Roots, jumpsuits, free love (a friend of mine who was fortunate enough to experience the 70's in thier full glory told me once that she falls asleep counting all the people that she sleept with, instead of counting sheep). And then of course there was 8-tracks, 1972 summer Olympics in Munich, camp David, Manson and Squeaky Fromme, the Steelers, OPEC crisis (yes that was cool), hip huggers, Afghanistan, Shaft, Jonestown, Seka, Dirty Harry, John Travolta, Sean and David Cassidy, the Brady Bunch, Joey Heatherton, pooka shells, Walter Cronkite, Sadat, Richard Prior, and the freedom that was in the air before Regan, cocaine on every street corner, AIDS, Helms, Falwell, Limbaugh, and 9mm's. I can't believe I missed all that. Instead I got stuck with the 80's, yuppies, and "just say no" while everybody stole each others money and killed people over gang bullshit. The only thing different in the 90's is rave. My hedonistic salvation.

Midwest Party Report Saturday, June 4 Liquid Groovy - Chicago This party followed that Chicago B-rave feel... not full scale, just offering the essentials- lights, sound, and Dj's. Scott Hardkiss was headlining and spun some Sanfran breaks with some old skool mixed in. The party offered quality sound, quality lights (though minimal) and quality music. An outside rooftop chill space was created but taken away for fear of drawing too much attention. Definate old school, back-in-the-day feel. (matt) 312.509.8111 Saturday, June 11 Poseiden- Duluth Wave rave on Lake Superior. ON the lake?!? Yes, aboard the Vista Star, a three level, 300 person capacity cruise boat. After a day of sketchy weather, it finally turned out to be a beautiful night. We set sail at 10 p.m. and ran 3 levels of continuis music over three different sound systems. DJ U4EA (Duluth) spun hardcore and Drone blew people away with a 2 hour breakbeat set on the first level, while JDSJDS (E-Vent Duluth) spun some wicked tribal/trance, Tuesday Night Tod (Duluth) played techno, and DJ Earth (Mpls) messed with people's minds on the second level. On the open air top level Trancedental (Duluth) spun some wild ambient stuff with lots of aquatic and nautical samples. The icing on the cake was the northern lights display over the lake. The dry land after party went until 8:00 a.m. with a monster set by Wade Randolph Hampton (Madison) and Earth kept people going. Sunrise disco set by Gabriel Champagne got the stragglers off their butts and dancing. Look for another boat party in the fall. (JDSJDS) 218.727.4627 Saturday, June 11 303 - Chicago Though this party was kind of an anniversarial dedication to the acid machine itself, this party also can represent another blow to anyone who still thinks Chicago ain't got it's shit together. Billed as a national event, this party went down in the same, legal space as the Cheer party a couple months prior. No expense was spared to bring in the best, including Miss Djax (female dj alert!) of the like-titled record label and the 303 greats Acid Junkies (Mike Dearborn and Armando). And how about sound? Holy shit!... a wall of EV-MT's...yes! A million props to the gazillion people behind this party- including the crowd that put up with this much acid well into the Terry Mullan The Assailant

Miss D-Jax morning. (matt) 312.509.8168 Friday, June 17 Saturday, June18 Wicked Wicked #'s 1 &2 Too - Milwaukee After the June 3rd bust of the Kaiser Lab warehouse, the Milwaukee crowd was threatened with the Friday night blahs once again. So Massive posse decided to take up a little of the slack with Wicked Wicked, a cheap house party that was free if you were naked. All was a success- with 8 naked people and about 110 others grooving to the tunes of some local talent. The following night was Too, which was also busted, so Massive posse again saved the day, bringing the party back to the pad. Great sets by Synergy and EFEX, and the trophy goes to Speed Demon, who came and spun for 4 hours. (matt) 414.777.EXTC Tuesday, June 21 - Summer Solstice Regression- Duluth E-Vent threw this FREE party to celebrate the summer solstice. Although it was the shortest night of the year, it was one of the best. The E-Vent crew spun mostly tribal-trance, with some junglistic, acid, and dub thrown in, while people dance around a blazing bonfire. People swam out to watch the sun rise and moon set. It was the first of many parties to be held on Wisconsin Point. Beautiful sand beach on the shores of Lake Superior. Alcohol, bonfires, and loud music are totally legal! (JDSJDS) (218.727.4627) Saturday June 25 Jokers High/ Toronto The four page magazine style flyer said it all "...this will inevitably be the largest rave North America has yet to witness." With the UK's top jungle hardcore DJ, Randall and top MC, GQ headlining this party. Upon arriving with the 4 car caravan in town they announced the absence of Randall and GZ, which alone would have killed most parties, but 3,500 ravers were here to celebrate Pleasure Forces 2 yr anniversary so they made sure this one Rokked!!! Two massive warehouses totaling 70,000 square feet, one house, the other straight jungle hardcore for 12 hours, with intense lighting, speakers hanging show that created a virtual 2nd ceiling over the entire space, wicked!! The only major problem was the replacement for Randall and GQ, Dominik who spun Gabber and succeed in clearing the jungle hardcore arena sending 2000 junglists out which caused major congestion, luckily he only got less than an hour to make us sick! But rushing the night away with 3,500 ravers from across Canada and the US was quite excellent. Big up to Pleasure Force for pullin off a winner. (Blackeye) esp Woody McBride Speed Demon Saturday, June 25 Bonkers - Minneapolis This was, by far, my favorite party so far this summer. The location was a supremely large warehouse located in one of the city's suburban industrial districts.

Mystic Bill The highlight of the evening was definitely Planet E Communications Carl Craig (Jam The Box) who threw down an experimental house set like no other. Other points of interest included Lenny Dee dropping the Hardcore, Overdose playing some Detroit style techno, and Jon Williams of Hardkiss fame spinning da funky breaks. How DFP and company throw such large scale, bad ass parties without any law enforcement interference is beyond me. Much respect due. (Brad) Saturday, June 25 Blossom- Chicago An impressive turnout for only running an ad in this fine publication and some black and white flyers, but that was the only thing impressive about this party. Too hot, too crowded and too many assholes summed up this party. The only thing that made this night bearable was Doc Martin, Mystic Bill, Mark Farina, and Davey Dave spinning Acid Jazz. All in all the party had the right ingredients but it was served in the wrong bowl by some bad cooks.(lucas) Saturday, July 2 Rapture - Green Bay Hailed as the first full scale event in Green Bay, Rapture was a grandiose beginning. Brought to us by Unique and the Universal Groove Sound System of Detroit, this party pulled not only Midwestern talent, but also Jon Williams from San Francisco. Wow, this party rocked, and many new faces we're seen (presumably from the G.B area). There must be something in the diet of people from northern Wisconsin that makes them such partyin' muthafuks. (matt) (414.234.4214) Saturday, July 9 Tornado - Chicago Well, if by any chance there were any up and coming gabber fans out there, this party scared them all away. Rob Gee and his Riot Squad pals should stick to making great and funny records rather than going on the road and terrorizing peoples eardrums with punk show antics. Oh, yeah, about the party... it was fuckin' great (until Gee and Co.) it was held in a strip mall store and had mucho film loops, sound and two rooms. ATP is Chicago's Savior. They also know how to please everyone, bringing Terry Mullan to funk your brains out. (matt) 312.509.8068) Saturday, July 16 Vibe- Minneapolis Held in the same space as Bonkers, in a spacious four rooms on K-Tel Drive in Hopkins/ Minnetonka. Drone spun one of his best sets ever- the crowd didn't clear off the dancefloor as the norm in the midwest when breakbeat comes on. Instead, he packed the floor. The excitement didn't stop their; T-1000 spun a dangerous set of hardcore-Detroit style (The crowd was screaming). The crowd was pretty thin for Nigel Richard's set, but not thin on enthusiasm. At 5:30 a.m. he played some hard acid and I left with good 'Vibes'.(Sheri) Saturday, July 23 Earth- Milwaukee Since it wouldn't be right for us to review our own party, we'll let the comments off the voicemail do the talking. But first I want to explain the dj situation. Derrick Carter, JaJo, and Terry Mullan were all booked to offer a line-up that would, along with two other sound systems, have house and acid jazz or 'something other than breaks and gabber' playing all night long to please everyone. Well, Derrick double booked with a New York date and never bothered to inform us of this himself. At this point, we don't know what happened to Jajo. When we got back from cleaning up the party, a lengthy, apologetic message was left on our answering machine by Terry, explaining that his plane was delayed and that he had fallen asleep accidentally. We, as well as Terry, apologize for all this and by no means did we want to cheat anyone out of a good time. Comments on Earth: "Thanks for throwing a great party- we all had a great time." "Too bad Drop Bass went to New York, they missed the

best party ever in Wisconsin." "Fuckin' awesome party, dude. I drove all the way from Chicago and it was well worth the ride. Fuckin' mindblowing- it was so cool. If you throw any more parties, you've got to let me know so I can get to it.. and hey, the underground really is Massive. Peace." "Great party guys- the space was huge and I love indoor/outdoor spaces. You guys rock." "You fuckin' liars. If I would have known there would have been no Mutherfuckin' house DJ's at this motherfucker, I wouldn't have went to sit around for 4 hours waiting for someone play house- real house- not what you guys had playing(?). You lied on the flyer so we would go. My friend came all the way from Florida to go to this party and there was no house. We payed $13 to go to this party for promised DJ's... (etc. bitchiness)" Letters... unto Massive. I've been involved to a limited extent in this 'scene' since 1988. I suppose I am older than the norm. It could be argued that I am just too old to fully get it... and maybe I am. But I do have the hunger. For something larger than I am. For a cause that is worthwhile. To fight for something I feel involved in/ And I love the music. Mostly because I love to dance. Hardcore is too fast for me to enjoy and seems to lack originality. It's trance, ambient, and house that move me. I am not Danny Terrio; I dance for the altered state I achieve. It is in this altered state that I feel complete peace with the world and those around me. Hours sweating, throbbing in unison. I experience what most search for through acid and extacy... without. I go straight, I remember who I met and what I felt, and take that with me when I leave. I have read the theory of evolution through hallucinogens. I found it intriguing and possible. I also believe that the scene indicates a great spiritual need, mass vision quest. I sense a lostness in most that I meet there. I see displayed a great insecurity and need to belong. I see feigned individuality, underneath which are people who have grown up in a time in this country where media, religion, and politics are all the same National Enquirer Headline... nothing solid to stand on. Everything is subjective. We accept everything because we know what it's like to feel that way. And we're all so insatiably hungry for a grain of truth that if some idiot says the ingestion of gasoline is the pathway to truth, we'd fucking do it. Image. That is the most disturbing aspect of this scene. Yeah, we're all so fucking different we all sort of look and act the same. I think the ultimate in rebellion would be to try to be average and normal in every respect possible- I've met too many people that take too long to get dressed, that, when it comes time to actually get together and make some movies or music of our own, thy're not into it, usually because they tripped a little too hard the night before. And all this talk about changing the world is going nowhere for the inordinate amount of spectators in this 'scene'. We are not going to get the money out of politics by tripping in the basement and coming up with great fucking ideas. We're not going to change shit by being apathetic subjective uninvolved whatever people. The scene stinks of too many followers. Where is the intelligence in this movement? What are our objectives and how can we accomplish them? Who wants to do something beyond talking? These are the people I want to meet... Write to: J Senderhauf, 620 S. 8th St. #213, Sheboygan WI 53081 ...The question is: What's up with the scene!? We talk about keeping the scene alive, full of peace, and full of love, but then we get these sorry ass punks that are full of hatred and come to the parties to release the anger! And what's up with these addicted

little extacy fucks!? So what if it feels good, why would you want to ruin your life over some feeling when instead you could live long with the scene? How could you be that dumb to just walk around and let some drug take over? Think about it. And what was up with Tornado? Sure, it was good and had lots of good energy energy going until some fucked up wanna be gangsta DJ took the stage! Being a DJ is to feel your music with your turntables - not putting on some show with your mic, talking about Satan, screaming the whole time. We worship no Satan! Those of you who do, then find your own scene! Also, the slam dancing at Tornado wasn't meant to be! To slam is to release anger, Raves were meant to release a lot of love. So my question is, what happened to the peace and love? N.S. Freeport IL The time has come y'all. If anybody out there is not sick of the bullshit, they have a problem. By bullshit I mean the trend of our scene to be an association of drug dealers and addicts. If you like to dance, talk to people, listen to the music, or whatever, fine. If you come to rave-social gatherings to be get fucked up, give yourself and the rest of the world a break. Fuck the, "drugs allow me to view the world in a different light," shit. I would like, just once, to be able to attend a major event and not have any friends on mind altering substances. If this is too much to ask then maybe I'm wasting my valuable time. I will not try to convince you of the spiritual powers of a party, because the party is only there because it is "cool" and not as some socio-economic revolution. Please allow the party to be cool though. Do not sell yourself or your promoters short. I would also like to mention that all the people selling drugs are not helping any. Without any chemicals available, those too immature to decide to be clean on their own would be forced into it. Granted it is not my decision to make if you can do drugs or not, but I think that without the plague of dependancy we would be a much more considerable revolution. Please do not stop selling drugs for me; stop selling drugs because of the people's lives you may improve. If I had my way, everyone would be 100% straight, but because this is not going to happen in the near future, I pray that my extreme view point will help push you in the right direction. Peter Willis Yo Massive, The blurb from Jungle Vibes in Issue 4 is a little closed-minded. I think 'Blackeye' is a rude dude for referring to those of us with voice mailboxes as 'bad ass(es)' and 'idiots'. I think he's missing the whole point. I myself love vm because it's a way of staying connected with the brothers and SUPERFREAK printing&design | h@biliments 414.225.0581 305.669.0262

letters... sisters. It's become a communication network for the underground. We started our line almost two years ago, just for fun, to get involved. As soon as we started getting the number out and people started using it on their event flyers, we got calls from people all over the Midwest and made lots of friends. Sometimes we have important or just stupid shit to say on our outgoing messages, and sometimes we just tell everyone what's happenin'. I think everyone who wants to should start their own line. For 'Blackeye' to write a whole article raggin' on vm because he got rid of his seems kind of shallow. Jim- NPS Cyberspace 414.548.1973 TechnoLogical Underground. I have to to agree with Jim NPS on the advantages of voice mail. For readers of Massive #4's Resistance article, it's time for us to utilize the technology the world has to offer. The techno-rave scene has a constant edge on the future with it's ever-changing styles and experimenting, and those who make this scene should maintain being on that edge, too. To illustrate, I use the example of the past month's Wicked Wicked parties by Massive and friends. To alert people of the parties, we called the voicemails of zines, promoters, and friends. The parties have been highly successful with turnouts ranging from 80 to 150. The usage of voicemails has allowed us to save time, money, and most importantly, notice by the authorities. It's time for many to consider whether they are 'jacked in' to the underground, or are slaves to the conventionals of word-of-mouth and rumor. For a small group of people to go in on the monthly payments for a voice mail would be a 'subscription' to the underground- provided they let their number be known. Dropping a hundred scraps of paper with your number on it at a party is all it takes...inform them and they shall come. Provided is information on getting a voice mail in the Milwaukee area. We use American Voice mail, based in California. This is a good thing, 'cuz local cops can't supoena an out-of-state business in case knowledge of the number falls into the wrong hands (or you've been doing something naughty- like throwing raves). Setting up the number is only a matter of calling (414.256.0001). It's about $10 a month, with about a $15 hook-up fee. In a matter of months you'll catch on to some of the tricks of the voice-mail like accessing other numbers without having to hang up (dial 99) or rewind and fast-forward (# and *) etc. Knowledge of your own number means knowledge of other peoples, which makes for great voice mail hacker tactics. As a matter of helping each other out, mention who informed you of American Voice Mails number. They'll ask for that persons voicemail number (it has to be another A.V.M. client- generally 256 or 777 prefix in the Milwaukee area) and they automatically get a free month of voice mail......hint hint.

Absolutley Ruff! By: Blackeye.-JVT/Ruffniss Massive-Chicago 1994. MAIL TO: JVT c/o Blackeye-5113 Central-Western Springs, IL 60558 One Time For The floorboards! Jump up Junglists! How ya feelin out dere? As you may or may not now by now Chicago is THE Junglist centre for the Mid-west "ravey" scene. On May 28 1994 we finally got the chance to prove, (and it's been said before), that 'WE RUN TINGS', and how so-see? Now I'm not gonna get into some hum-drum lengthy reveiw of this party as is normally the case, but for many, and I do many MANY, Junglists this was a party L O N G overdue, and of course we rokked tings rite on that Saturday Night, proving that Jungle is THE Chicago sound and what we want to step to, a'ight? In short the evening was absolutley wikked, with a double k cause we dont play! Strange but we seem to have the largest concentration of hardcore Dj's than anywhere else in the US. With the men much like the Snuggles, Phantom 45, Mr.(jj)Jellybean, Dr. Groo, and RP Smack, along with a handfullof up and comers, proves that we have a serious cluster of Jungle enthusiasts somehow over-looked by the-Milwaukee-techno-Juggernaut of 1993, but we aint no Milwaukee, a'ight? As MCGQwould say...".....you know we keep it to the triple R..... RUFF-ROWDY-RAGGAMUFFINS!" We've seized control over enough second rooms at parties to earn this title for ourselves, this time it's going ten steps further to prove that "Jungle's what we want and Jungle's what we're gonna get!" Yes'un! Under What Grounds? -Underground, quite a term huh? Makes you feel as though you are one of the Elite, the few, the proud, the next big thing before it becomes the next big thing and all that. Yet how many of you even know what the word means? Let's take a look at that shall we-eh? Originally the term "Underground" meant any persons or group of who risked their lives for a cause, such as freeing slaves, or housing Jews in Europe during WWII, etc etc you know how it goes. Somehow the term has become assimilated into rebellious youth cultures over the past 40 or so years. This includes our oh so precious Rave culture where we use the term "underground" to brand ourselves proudly as outlaws, as well as victims. We consider ourselves the "underground" since we go to so called "Underground" parties ,and to dance to "Underground" music, recorded on "Underground" labels. Yet what is so "Underground" about raves, which seem to be about getting as many people as possible into a vacant space to hear music on a huge soundsystem , with concert style lighting above, of which people are invited to via beautifully designed full color fliers which look quite impressive for such an "underground" event! If your Idea of "underground" is the open and at times rampant usage of drugs which can be noticed at any "rave". Then give me one large break, Please! continued----------

UNDER WHAT GROUNDS? CONTINUED. BY: BLACKEYE Free and open drug use can be found at any Dead show, hip-hop show, or punk grunge show. Any of which are about as "Underground" as your average full scale rave, the only difference is the music and it's delivery. Now take in mind that I'm not out to dis those who claim to be,"down with the Underground" blah blah blah, but there comes a time when you have to GROW UP, and push whatever type of a youth culture/movement you claim to be a part of into new directions, instead of getting caught up in the same silly, stagnant, ruts as past self proclaimed "Underground" scenes. Of which no one ever risked their lives for anything more that a fix of a couple of $$$. The "rave" scene may be highly independant and/or self supporting, but there is a big difference between the terms Underground and Independant. WORDS OF WISDOM. This here is a little something dedicated to all those gabbas and non who are in a huff, about something I seem to have written about the genre of gabbahouse music and its ill effects on party success. Now try to understand that what I stated was an OPINION not necessarily a fact(although it is-ha ha!) Opinions are a topic which has been heavily covered in zines as well as this here publication. to quote Matt Bonde in a letter printed in ATP #4: "...be warned that all friendships made within the rave clique are subject to termination upon verification on an opinion!..." Tru stuph, I didnt beleive it until I started getting mail and cold shoulders afterwards. but my grandfather once told me this and it's good to keep in mind when encountering strong opposing opinions....... ".......a (wo)man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still!" Good stuph-a'ight? WICKED 4 WICKED strictly for players and hustlers terry mullan Mystic Bill EFEX Acid Boy Todd P.

12 INCHES hip-hop reviews OF PLEASURE EXTRA PROLIFIC- BROWN SUGAR/ JIVE The fourth installment from the Hiero posse brings us Extra Prolific. Now he's the mack of the bunch and it's apparent. His smooth delivery, but still with the witty, quick tounge Hiero trademark style, smooth beats, and fat bass line makes this one a must for players. It's not surprising some of the original Oakland sound (Too Short) didn't show up in one of these guys records sooner or later. So make sure you peep this one if you're a fan of all the other Hiero records or if you're a fan of the Oakland funk. ILL FEATURING AL SKRATCH- WHERE MY HOMIEZ/ MERCURY This is the shit As soon as I heard the same Barry White bass line as I Got Cha Opin rmx I knew it was going to be hype. This record's smooth as a motherfucker, with a sing-song delivery by both Ill and Al Skratch that compliment each other nicely. Buy it, steal it, just get it. GRAVEDIGGAZ- DIARY OF A MADMAN/ GEE STREET Satanic Hip-Hop? In times where Hip-Hop artist are judged by how hard and down they are, there's no wonder why it's come to this. How can you get any harder than Satan? The answer, The Gravediggaz, Prince Paul's demented brain child which features the RZA of the Wu. The beats are what evil comes from, booming bass and ghostly screeching makes hairs stand on end. Lyrically the shit is tight, crazy psychopathic lyrics that even make Onyx cringe. Gravediggaz show no one is save from Hip-Hop, not even the dead. THE LADY OF RAGE- AFRO PUFFS/ DEATH ROW Anything Dr. Dre touches turns to gold so you know this record's going to be all that. But will a Death Row artist ever do a solo album with out recruiting the entire Death Row roster? Who know, but anyway solid record all in all- catchy grooves, smooth rhymes, Snoop. I mean what more could you ask for. HOUSE OF PAIN- ON POINT/ TOMMY BOY The redneck, peckerwood, crackers are back but they sound like they never left. Everlast and crew don't break any new ground, sounding like they used leftover rhymes from the last one. You think Everlast would a thought of a lot of new rhymes on house arrest. But the Jerry Cooney's of rap do get credit for trying to break the usual Soul Assassins mold, but still boring and repetive, they just changed annoying high pitched sounds for a sax. Next time they better have better aim to come on point.

ARTIFACTS- WRONG SIDE OF DA TRACKS W/ FLEX DA TECHNIQUE/ BIG BEAT It's very odd to find a group these days who represent every aspect of Hip-Hop culture, so it's refreshing to see a group like the Artifacts come along. They aren't concerned with blunts and guns but graffiti and break dancing. A nice jazz beat accompenies this making it very easy listening sure to please every Hip-Hop head. The B-Side contains Flex Da Technique. A freestyle show casing their lyrical ability. With Artifact running things we know Hip-Hop is on the right track. SAMPLE OF THE MONTH BARRY WHITE- PLAYING YOUR GAME BABY/ 20TH CENTURY Ill & Al Skratch's "Where's My Homiez" uses it and so do Black Moon on "Reality" use this track to create a blunt related vibe, that real Hip Hop heads can nod too. Get the single of Black Moon's cut ( and check out the album, if u already didn't), find the original Barry White album "sings for someone you love", a nice fat quarter of hydro-oh don't forget the boomin system, and well ah you know and if not you better ask somebody.

mixTAPEreviews mixTAPEreviews By the way, did we neglect to mention Mr. Bill is GOD? KENNY KEN W/ MCGQ "Are you ready for some blood klot jungle tekno?" This is is a hot hot hot tape, recorded from his set at the World Dance Theater in London with GQ hyping it up all long. You can hear the horns, whistles and cheers at points, but jungle hardcore is what this one's all about. MICKEY FINN W/ MCGQ Another tape recorded at the World Dance this time with "Mickey Finn long side the GQ", and they don't give a shit or so they say. But this one is more of a ride of intense hardcore and GQ goes along better with Mickey. For copies of these tapes write to Dubshack at P.O. Box 8106 Wilmette, IL 60091 CHICAGO HARDCORE AUTHORITY JUNGLE 101 FEATURING: SNUGGLES, JJ JELLYBEAN, GENERAL BROWNING The boys of C.H.A. bring jungle in the style that the U.K. does it with a Chicago flavor. Snuggles spins with JJ and General Browning MCing. Quite an exuberant tape that brings the energy of a live set. DJ KROME AND TIME Yes, these are the same bloaks who did some tracks on "Hit the Decks", which is some commercial techno cheez/ breakbeat/ rave/ music. Both the dj and the mc are so cheezy that it is fun to listen to. It reminded me of the same cheez factor as a "B-grade" movie. For a good laugh, Krome and Time can put a smile on your face. DIESELBOY: FUTURE SOUND OF HARDCORE Could it be hereditary that the son of Bertie Higgins (Key Largo hit wonder of the early 80's) also be musically gifted? Dieselboy spins breakbeat like its not breakbeat. Every breakbeat dj spins the track "Helicopter" by Naughty Naughty, but his mix of that track is the best mixing I've ever heard that makes "helicopter" fly. SNUGGLES: I'M SUGAR FREE Snuggles shows his diversity as a breakbeat dj. The C.H.A. "Jungle 101" was super bouncy energy. His "I'm Sugar free" is beautiful and graceful breakbeat with flavor of darkside. DJ EARTH: STORIES FROM LITTLE SPACEY This cassette is laced with ambience, filled with esoteria, and charged with a backdrop of low tempo breakbeats. Earth takes the listener on a ninety minute audio journey and returns you in a state of harmony. Okay... fuck the eloquence... it's a pretty good mix tape... lots of material in the Rising High/Hardkiss ambient line of thought. The only discrepancies I found were a few bumpy mixes, poorly placed beat removals, and an overdose of equalization fiddling. I like this tape, the choice of music is supreme- Brad. For info call 612.872.7098.

DJ THEE-O: SYNTHETIC/ORGANIC While I was opening this item I was impressed by the sheer aesthetic and production quality. The very cool double cassette holder, the good quality cassettes, and the creative liner design makes this a pretty thing to have. However, the music is what makes this one rock like dat... like dat. "Synthetic" is ninety minutes of very experimental hard acid and other such oddities, whereas 'Organic' takes things toward the ambient/trance realm- throwing spaciness like a muthafuck. Over 180 minutes of music mixed quite well for a GREAT price. (Brad) Call (310.289.3171) or (818.580.1244) for more info. SPEED DEMON: CHEMIKILL DIZTORBANZE & DEMENTED WRATH These two tapes serve us up some of the 'Sinister Beat Chemist' himself. Though his style differs greatly from the average Midwest DJ, the Demon gives us a sampler of Hard Dementacid in his own D.C. flava. Check it out, and may your mind be blown forever. (703.242.3779) DJ ANDI P.: MAKIN' MUSIC, MAKIN LOVE This tape's the bomb, perfect for any occasion, whither kickin' it at home with a fat ass sack or driving home after a party on Sunday morning, or if your just in the mood for some good music- this is it. Nice sooth mixes and no wack records so this makes an excellent tape. So do yourself a favor and check out some acid jazz flavor.
