Speaking in Code is an intimate account of people who are completely lost in music. A heartbreaking and lighthearted documentary, it’s a vérité glimpse into the world of techno.Captivating and entertaining, the film takes you around the world, following the people who make electronic music … their lives. I’ve watched it and could really relate in a lot of ways, from the experience of being a festival-go-er, DJ, musician, and promoter who’s passionate about electronic music. In particular I found one scene where the critic Philip Sherburn becomes emotional while talking about his dead father very moving. It’s a great documentary to add to your collection if you love music. Own yours now for $19.95.

“One of the most need-to-watch music docs in recent memory.” — Urb Magazine

“Hi-Hat” elecronic music genre pioneer and High-Pass Radio host DJ Kristov Gjesdal has created an exclusive mix for Christmas 2009 for Fractalspin.com. Not sure what Hi-Hat is? Here’s the urban dictionary definition:

hi-hat: An electronic music genre that emphasizes the very high and some parts of the upper-mid range of tracks in order to prominently feature the hi-hat sound of a traditional drum kit.

It is in stark contrast to traditional electronic dance music where a pounding bass drum sound is prominently featured, and the bass line is emphasized.

Since the absence of bass doesn’t resonate through walls as easy, it is a preferred genre of club night afterhours that take place in residential areas, as it does not bother sleeping neighbors as easily.

It is considered a DJ mix connoisseur’s preferred style as it exposes mixing errors more prominently.

Minimal techno was one of the first genres to experience “hi-hat-ification,” as it was first featured on Norwegian DJ DJ Kristov Gjesdal’s radio show “High Pass Radio.”

ie: This DJ has way too much kick drum action–he needs to get with the program and start spinning hi-hat.

You getting it now? “More Cowbell is to rock music as more Hi-Hat is to electronic music.” Enjoy the exclusive hi-hat mix for Xmas ’09!
