Performer Notes

Photographer: Ali Kepenek.
Part of the German label Studio !K7's DJ series, Stacey Pullen's DJ-Kicks gives one a sense of the kind of mix the second-generation Detroit techno artist might create at one of his many international club appearances. As with other DJs in the series, Pullen took a live studio mix and cleaned it up with some digital editing. The resulting sound is in the compact yet warm-sounding techno vein Pullen favors (a style formed in response to the colder, primitive-sounding mixes of techno originator and mentor Derrick May). Pullen expertly blends original material (under aliases like Kosmic Messenger and Silent Phase) with a variety of contemporary cuts by the likes of Cristian Vogel, Acid Jesus, and Kenny Larkin and in the process produces a seamless m?lange of acid house, garage, disco, and, of course, techno. Pullen ignores the vogue for tribal, drum'n'bass, and trance sounds, instead creating a focused and innovative marriage of Giorgio Moroder's expansive disco sound and Kraftwerk's machine music. One of just a few releases from Pullen in the last decade and certainly essential for techno fans. ~ Stephen Cook
