  15. Now, everyone should know who the group Underground Resistance is. Now, it was my understanding that Jeff Mills headed up UR, and is part of the second generation of the Detroit techno movement, who was fathered by Juan Atkins and Rick Davis. UR and the Detroit heads eventually inspired the Euro trance scene. Now I'm unclear as to Chicago's role in house music today. The likes of Lil' Louis, Franky Knuckles, Larry Heard (Mr. Fingers), Jihad Mohammad, etc.: were they the inspiration to Tee Scott, Nick Siano, and Larry Levan? Is it the other way around? Or, like spontaneous evolution, did these DJs come out all at the same time, after the death of disco and the birth an evolved dance sound? Or do I have it all screwed up? Let me know. Thanks in advance. ------------------ Coming soon... The signature that will end all signatures... AOL: Highmay9 Napster: Jayme

  17. April 28, 2001 Club Owners Are Focus of Effort to Combat Drug Use By JENNIFER STEINHAUER Frustrated by the rising popularity of Ecstasy and other illegal drugs among young nightclub revelers, law enforcement agencies and local governments around the country are increasingly going after the clubs themselves, saying that the electronic music they play has a close connection to abuse of these drugs. Fans of the music, nightclub owners and some civil rights lawyers say singling out clubs based on the music they play raises First Amendment concerns. In New York, law enforcement officials have long used local nuisance laws to shutter nightclubs with a history of drug problems. But in the last year, other large cities, like Chicago, and even small ones, like Lewiston, Me., have adopted ordinances to regulate raves — giant all-night parties featuring electronic music and light shows. And, for the first time, they are imposing criminal penalties on the owners of nightclubs or other dance spaces where drug use is discovered. And in what some club owners view as the ultimate test case, the United States attorney in New Orleans is prosecuting two club owners under the 1986 federal Crack House Statute, which is used against those who maintain a property where they know drugs are sold or used. "I can't say I can remember ever using public health ordinances and statutes to the magnitude that we are trying to do now," said Special Agent Joseph Keefe, chief of operations for the Drug Enforcement Administration, referring to the federal and local efforts pointed at club owners. "But clubs tend to be a venue for these drugs." Law enforcement and music have historically had an uneasy relationship, in large part because of illegal drugs, from the crackdowns on marijuana in jazz clubs of the 1920's to the rock concerts and cocaine-fueled discos of later decades. But law, government and health care experts contend that there are unique features about club drugs like Ecstasy, a stimulant with hallucinogenic properties, and GHB, or gamma hydroxybutyrate, a depressant. While drugs like cocaine and heroin tend to be used in various settings, they say, the majority of people who end up in the emergency rooms from overdoses of Ecstasy and GHB arrive from a nightclub or rave party. "Club drugs in our experience are being used solely in partying venues," said David W. Simon, a deputy district attorney in San Bernardino County, Calif., who recently tried a young man on murder charges because he supplied GHB to a 15-year-old boy who died. Experts in electronic music argue that only a minority of patrons abuse drugs, but they concede that Ecstasy is well known for increasing the visceral effects of techno music and light shows. The dancing, whether in clubs or at rave parties, tends to go until as late as noon the next day, and the largest events attract tens of thousands of revelers. For that reason, many clubs have begun using private ambulance companies to transport people who overdose to the emergency room, and provide cooling-off rooms for people who overheat, a common and potentially life- threatening side effect of Ecstasy. Club owners argue these are public safety moves, but the police view it as evidence that they know about and tolerate drug use. Perhaps most urgent, officials say, is the rising number of people who are abusing the drugs in dangerous ways. Most bad reactions to Ecstasy occur when it is combined with other drugs and alcohol. Those who overdose usually experience overheating — sometimes fatal in and of itself — as well as faintness, panic attacks, severe dehydration and loss of consciousness. An overdose of GHB can cause a user to become comatose and unresponsive, which is why it is sometimes called a date rape drug. Abusers sometimes must be revived and put on a respirator. Starting in 1994, as raves and techno music grew in popularity, the number of people who ended up in the nation's emergency rooms from Ecstasy overdoses rose tenfold to 2,850 in 1999, while admissions for drugs like LSD remained steady, according to the Drug Abuse Warning Network, a unit of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Last year, federal drug enforcers seized more than three million Ecstasy tablets, compared with one million the year before. In each case where cities have tried to crack down, officials had been vexed by frequent illegal rave parties, overdoses and an inability to shut down nightclubs where there had been multiple drug arrests with traditional methods. Dallas, for example, has among the country's highest rates of emergency room visits for GHB overdoses stemming from rave parties. "Most of the kids that go to these type of things for the most part are very passive and nonviolent," said Lt. William Turnage, who investigates narcotics cases in Dallas. "But we pursue it because it is so dangerous." Texas officials are working to adopt some of the ordinances of other cities to curb the electronic music scene, he said. In Chicago, the City Council last summer passed an ordinance subjecting anyone holding or producing an event in an unlicensed venue to a $10,000 fine. This slowed down the raves, but to get at club owners, the Chicago council is awaiting a final vote on another ordinance that calls for up to six months in jail for any property manager who knowingly permits drug sales on his property. "We felt what they were doing was getting to the level of criminal activity, because they knew what was going on in the club and were refusing to do anything about it," said Jennifer Hoyle, the spokeswoman for city's law department, referring to clubs where multiple arrests have been made. A similar law was passed in Lewiston, Me., where party promoters must now pay for the presence of a police officer for every 250 revelers at raves, which were once totally underground events. This month, officials in Denver told clubs that they cannot sell alcohol at any events where anyone under 21 is present. "We have lost tens of thousands of dollars since that started," said Jesse Morreale, a partner in Nobody in Particular, which operates two theaters in the city that hold all types of concerts. But the most controversial and closely watched development in the war on club drugs is taking place in New Orleans, where officials have linked hundreds of overdoses in recent years to raves and to a nightclub known for electronic music events, the State Palace. A young woman died after patronizing the club a few years ago. Last winter, a grand jury indicted three men who operated the club under the Crack House Statute. That case has attracted the attention of the American Civil Liberties Union. "The government has always targeted people who went to concerts," said Graham Boyd, director of the A.C.L.U.'s drug policy litigation project, and a consultant to the New Orleans defendants. "But that is very different than targeting the people who provide the music, and the First Amendment protects music. That legal principle is clear." The work of government and law enforcement has clearly had an effect. "It is really bad in here," said Erica Miller, a techno music promoter in Detroit. "If you rent a warehouse — Detroit is known for its warehouse parties — you have a big problem." And many club owners like Mr. Morreale said they were avoiding booking techno D.J.'s, the most popular of whom can draw thousands from around the country. "I think that until we come to whatever agreement we can come to with the city we are going to shy away from techno events," he said. "We can't run the risk of our license being in jeopardy." Some government officials and clubs have made peace and worked together. In San Francisco, for instance, where club raids used to be frequent, club owners and dancers worked out a compromise. Club patrons agreed to be more considerate of neighbors, even doing volunteer work in the community, and the city passed measures that prohibited the use of 911 call logs as cause for removing a club's permit. Other cities have hired off-duty police officers to patrol parties and clubs. Club owners in New York have requested the same help from the police, and the police have declined, according to letters between the department and a group representing nightclubs. New York has taken a hard line against the techno dance clubs since the late 1990's, because of the swelling numbers of overdoses — some fatal — stemming from the clubs. In 1998, prosecutors tried unsuccessfully to convict the owner of the Limelight and Tunnel clubs, Peter Gatien, of running drug supermarkets there. They have since tried to close down the club Twilo, which they contend is an outpost for Ecstasy, and regularly pepper clubs all over the city with summonses for various infractions. The Tunnel has adopted antidrug policies, including hiring an undercover security staff, leading to a decrease in business, said Robert H. Silbering, a former narcotics investigator who now does private investigative work in nightclubs and other businesses. A company was formed recently to secure permits, work with the local police and governments and teach promoters how to keep their parties drug-free. "You have to be careful at the door about who you let in, you have to have fliers that tell people they can't use drugs, and you have to have the proper security," said Jesse Saunders, a partner in Rave Secure, which charges upward of $2,000 a party anywhere in the United States for its services. Nigel Richards, one of the most famous D.J.'s in electronic music, said: "I just played a party in a club in Cleveland, and the cops and promoters were outside chumming it up. You might not have seen that a few years ago. Professionalism is increasing in the scene."

  24. ARRGGGHHH!!! ok...sorry tranza and coogs, but I need to say something... Ok...Almost everyone on this board absolutly loves house music. They've been listening and collecting songs for the longest time, some shorter/longer than others. Now, before Napster and the growing popularity of this board, anyone here can point out to at least one person who they looked to for a song ID, track, DJ, or anything related to music. That person got them "in the mix" and indirectly made the igorant one fall in love with the sound of house. We then took it upon ourselves to self-educate. That love of house has gone even further, and this board is a byproduct/tool of that love. Hence, we are experts at what we care for. The internet can make information travel to almost anywhere in the world. Any info from music boards such as this one are read by anyone, like you, k2. Before I make my major point, think of this: k2, I don't know you, but think of your special talent; eg. math, baseball, lifting, cars, sex, drawing, whatever. Now think of the conversations you can have with a group of people who are on your level with your talent. Now if I just plain ol' suck at what you do good, and I just walk right into your convo, asking everything about your talent, you'd get frustrated. You're not in the mood to start coaching someone, you just want to sit back and talk sex or drawing or whatever. Well, think of this board as kind of a big conversation. Try not getting in the way when you read an inside joke or a post about inside info that brings up good memories for everyone else who knows. It just kills the mood. Your ignorance gets on people's nerves. If you seriously want to get in the mix, hook up with someone with the knowledge, and let them guide you until they can't guide you anymore. From then on, you're on your own.
