Intro & Photo by todd ~ Local KC Techno DJ, Solaris is back once again with his picks for some of the hardest and rawest Techno beats for the new year. Always looking for ways to push the limit of your Techno experience, check out these tracks and, courtesy of DJ Solaris.

HEROES - GLENN WILSON - HEROES06
Glen pulled it out again! A nice track indeed. A bit on the down tempo side, but when you bang it all day you always need a track that lets them pesky lungs breath.

ABSTRACT - SVEN WITTEKIND, KAOZ, SEEMA - ABSTRACT001
Hard as nails. Someone give me a hammer to them out of my head. This wax reminds me of the time I gave my little brother a nail gun to play cowboys with. Don’t worry the doc said it would only hurt a little.

HOLZPLATTEN - MARCUS STORK & ERIC PRYDZ - HOLZPLATTEN078
A real nice chill record here. I love a good piece of techno that makes you want to sit back and enjoy the scenery. Even if you are doing it from that padded room on a thorazine drip.

SHAKE RECORDS - PACO OSUNA & DANILO VIGORITO - SHAKEREC05
Every once in a while you listen to a record then while thinking of putting it back you flip it to the b side for the hell of it….well I am sure I am glad I did here! This is a rare gem indeed. Keep them ears tuned, all of those kids will like you much better after you drop this.

JERICHO – HERTZ - JEL032
A great opener to any situation. This thing can pull anyones head into a martini shaker. It even has the skills to open you up to go any direction you like… just don’t bob your head to much we wouldn’t want you being shaken and not stirred.

TONEMAN - ALEX BAU - TMANLP24
Wonderful down tempo double pack here. Has some nice clubby tracks in it also. Even the down tempo people can be pleased as long as they don’t fall further down the rabbit hole. Just remember only the cattapillar can use the hooka.

BRACHIAL - GAROS, MULTIKRACH - BRACHIAL2004-08
Every once in a while I get that acid techno twitch. This is the answer for all my ills. This wax has all the USDA essential vitamins and minerals to make the floor go into a tailspin. Just don’t lend it to those pesky floor shiners…

AUDIO ASSAULT - GUNJACK VS JERONE LIEBREGTS - AAR011
Keep that helicopter in its place, you wont need it to take off any longer. This ornithrompter can lift even the most retched of us into a sweaty dancing frenzy. Remember to keep bandaids on site incase those blades cut someone.

HEADLINE - OLIVER KLITZING - HEAD040
It is always good to pick things up after a long week without the necessities. Tell them you found a treasure map and all they have to do is decode it. Well hell with that keep the treasure for yourself and let the floor scream in revelry.

ARMS - LARS KLEIN, DE WIT, MOOY - ARMS05
Keep your ears attuned to the wants and needs of society. Let them flail their arms in excitement as you throw this down. I don’t think I had this much fun since tiger brought home all those crack heads to throw darts at.

d returns to the jam

  The Saturday Open Jam has been missing from our agenda for quite some time now.  It is one the best ways to burn up a Saturday afternoon in Kansas City, listening to some of the best rock and blues musician in town.  This particular occasion featured the return of a longtime resident of the event who had been off the roster for more than year following multiple personal crises, one of which nearly ended his ability to perform at all.  Taking his spot behind the drums once again for a couple of tunes, "D" picked up right where he left off, keeping cadence as if nothing had ever happened.  There were tears among some of the crowd that were closer to him, understanding the extent of his dilemma.  After playing, he admitted stumbling a few times, but everything sounded great from our side of the stage and we look forward to seeing him play again more often.

heptalogy honors eclipse

A random encounter found us in downtown Little Rock, anticipating a performance of Holst's "The Planets" by the  Arkansas Symphony Orchestra .  The much-anticipated event included a vocal cameo from the University of Arkansas - Little Rock Women's Choir.  An evening of colorful sound began with "Night Ferry" by Anna Clyne , exploring the extremes of manic depression.   The chaotic range of emotional intensities seemed to leave the audience in a state of bewildered fascination. After an intermission wide enough to refresh mind and body, "The Planets" by Gustav Holst exploded in the mind's eye next.  This particular space heptalogy is likely one of the most recognizable symphonies, enjoyed through a variety of inspirations like the score from Star Wars.  The choir entered near the end, perhaps at Neptune, blending in imperceptibly with the violins and their accompaniment.   Their voices appeared as if by magic from behind the sc
