So you’ve been dragged to lame bachelor parties before out in the suburbs featuring bored girls reluctantly jiggling their hormonally-induced womanly parts to 90s-era rock and overplayed hiphop, and you’ve thought to your enlightened self, “there must be a better sort of bachelor party–one that fully appreciates the hard work of talented women who not only love quality electronic music, but have dedicated their lives to sharing their passion for it in an environment that appreciates it.” Wist no longer–that sort of bachelor party is here.

Craig Anderton created The Minimoog Tribute, an affordable expansion pack for Cakewalk’s Rapture and Rapture LE synths that “covers” the classic sounds rather than duplicates them, using his personal Minimoog. I interviewed him for CDM at NAMM and discovered that a portion of the proceeds from sales of The Minimoog Tribute go towards the Moog Foundation, a charitable organization devoted to preserving the personal archive of Bob Moog. It’s not just a collection of personal effects, it serves as a veritable archive of the history of electronic music itself and deserves to make it through time for future generations to explore and peruse.

Detroit and electro are both influences on Derek Michael and Kill Memory Crash who will perform at Ramp Chicago’s night in the basement of Debonair Social Club on April 24. Derek Michael rips apart techno and reconfigures it in unexpected and ways, either shattering it apart into IDM, building schaeffel grooves, or dropping electro bombs—all on demand with Ableton Live. Similarly Kill Memory Crash creates a sinister blend of industrial, glitched-out electro, and ambient influenced by the grit and decay of of Detroit in the 1990s.
Derek Michael is part owner of Detroit Underground Recordings along with Kero and Andrew Lochhead as well as a musician and DJ. He has the distinction of popularizing the Schaeffel sound in the mid 1990s in Germany that was later adopted by such artists as Benno Blome, founder of Sender records, and T.Raumschmiere, founder of Shitkatapult records. He has shared a bill with a veritable who’s-who list of contemporary electronic musicians and DJs such as Plastikman, Thomas Brinkmann, Venetian Snares, Richard Devine, Apparat, Quantazelle, Ellen Allien, Otto Von Schirach, Modeselektor, Smash TV, Ellen Allien, Dan Bell, Matthew Dear, Sleeparchive, Jeff Mills, Derek May, and Kevin Saunderson.
From the debauchery and hedonism of the mid-90s Detroit rave scene, Kill Memory Crash (Ghostly International) emerged armed with their hard-nosed hybrid of techno, industrial, rock, and electro. They have shaken the foundations of electronic music by tearing away at the very boundaries that define it, freely mixing genres and styles, with a nod to artists such as Perspects, Ministry, Coil, Ultradyne and Adult.. Expect a DJ set from members Alex SanFaçon and Adam Killing that reflects their influences and genre-hopping taste.
Derek Michael and Kill Memory Crash are supported by Liz Revision–a Ramp Chicago resident who produces under the Quantazelle moniker and constructs DJ sets that span from glitchy / blippy minimal techno to melodic IDM.
