[Dynagroove] DESIGNFORMS...9-06-03/ another strange night

[Zach Rieken]

Both legendary in the world of techno, these producers are must-sees!  I
have seen them both play a number of times, most recently at Movement, the
Detroit electonic music festival, this past year.  I highly recommend
checking them out!  Both of them play to sold-out shows across the U.S. and
Europe every weekend.....

>
> Dan Bell has been a top minimalist Detroit producer from his beginnings as
a
> critical member of Richie Hawtin's Plus 8 Records to his recording of an
> all-time classic, 1994's "Losing Control" (as DBX) to the foundation of
his
> own Seventh City and Accelerate labels. Born in Sacramento, he grew up
near
> Detroit and was influenced by the sound of techno on Motor City radio
during
> the 1980s. Bell began DJing, bought recording equipment, and entered the
> production world with a job at a recording studio while attending Niagara
> College near Toronto. Though the work was mostly for hip-hop groups, Bell
> often worked overtime and produced his own tracks.
> He had a few productions of his own by 1991, when he moved back to Detroit
> and met Richie Hawtin. Bell joined Hawtin's new Plus 8 label, and produced
> several of the imprint's famed early singles ("Technarchy," "Cabaret
> Seven"), recording with Hawtin and John Acquaviva as Cybersonik. His
> back-to-basics approach to hard minimalistic techno fit in well with
> Hawtin's aesthetic. After leaving Plus 8 to form his own Accelerate
Records
> in 1992, Bell began recording as DBX. Singles like "Blip," "Flying
Saucer,"
> and "Electric Shock" became hot with DJs from Chicago as well as Detroit.
In
> 1994, Peacefrog released two DBX EPs ("Alien," "Losing Control"). Though
> "Losing Control" became one of the biggest underground smashes of the
> decade, Bell's move into the distribution game (by rejuvenating Seventh
City
> as a record distributor) took away valuable production time. Even while
the
> venture soon became one of the main worldwide distributors for Detroit
> techno, it grew so successful that Bell was forced to put his recording
> career on hold. He was back on wax by 1996, recording for DS and Klang
> Electron as well as Accelerate. Unfortunately, Seventh City distribution
> folded and in 1998 Bell returned his concentration to production with the
> single "Subterranean/The Wild Life/Beserk." Two years later he followed
with
> a mix CD, The Button Down Mind of Daniel Bell, released on Tresor
Records.~
