As we duplicate the entire Speaking in Code archive (that’s the 236-line tape log screenshot there!) images are flashing by — the 808 club in Boston’s Chinatown, writer Philip Sherburne at home in Barcelona, BPitch Control owner Ellen Allien beside the sparkling Spree river, Monkey Mafia at the Awakenings Festival, etc. one thing is clear. We need people to watch this stuff!

Tape logging requires volunteers to watch footage — raw unedited footage — and notate when moments are shared, character traits are revealed or a magnificent shot is captured. Loggers get an inside view of the project and a first-hand look at the film itself.

If you are looking for experience in documentary, already have experience in final cut pro and are serious about dedicating your summer to watching wonderfully raw footage, contact Director Amy Grill.

Many thanks to those who have linked to our trailer (Commander Master Chief!, Kosmic Luxery!), every little bit helps. Again, if you’re looking to post it, use the code at Virb.com if you please. A new teaser — yes, indeed — complete with motion graphics and a more refined presentation of the movie, is coming soon.

Pantha Du Prince (aka Hendrik Weber) is one of the elite techno producers in the world. Whispered amongst the foremost aesthetes, Weber plays both the Detroit Electronic Music Festival this weekend and Canada’s Mutek festival the next, eventually landing at the APT club in New York City.

Between that, he comes here on Thursday to the RocketBar, a cooly intimate venue and home to one of the finest soundsystems in Boston.

ResidentAdvisor.net calls his music “Detroit and minimal vs. My Bloody Valentine and psychedelia”. NYC record store Other Music says his latest release (”This Bliss”) is “full of beauty”. UK music site Boomkat calls it “Totally cosmic,” and expert US site Stylus gives This Bliss an A-.

We’ll send out an exclusive Pantha MP3 DJ mix on the mailing list Monday. Sign up today.

Here’s a rarity from Weber, a Depeche Mode remix which only appeared on a UK Club Promo. Depeche Mode is easily the most cultured of the supergroups, enlisting only the finest remix artists in Europe, including Speaking in Code subject Robag Wruhme.

Depeche Mode - “Lilian (Pantha Du Prince Raboisen Ecke Burstah Remix)”

Weber’s endlessly smooth sound can only be heard on a large soundsystem. We’re looking forward to the live set.

Another contemporary of Weber’s is Lawrence, (aka Peter M. Kersten), who runs Pantha Du Prince’s record label Dial Records. His releases are majestic space techno of the highest magnitude. One of our favorites comes from the Liebe Detail label (see below):

Lawrence - “Place To Be”

Buy the high-res version here.

And since we love sharing with you the music that we love, here is the latest remix from Joakim, who we brought through Lansdowne just a few weeks back [pictures here]. From one of our favorite bands, Cut Copy [buy their stuff here].

Cut Copy - “Hearts On Fire (Joakim Remix)”

Coming soon to Boston: Akufen, the Field and much more.
