Last week, Basstown Presents, the Weekly Dig and Vice Records screened Electroma, the Daft Punk art-house movie, at the wonderful Brattle Theatre in Harvard Square. It was amazing (screenshot by Doria Grace).

Never forgetting this blog is about the movie, The Brattle is a old friend of sQuare. On our arrival to Boston it was Ned @ the Theatre who approached Other Music Cambridge about giveaways and partnership.

There is a lot more happening to techno these days: The South by Southwest festival has DJs spinning at Alternative Press parties, Miami launches the Beatport music awards and even my roommate Andre is making epic tracks. Also: Pan-Pot is coming to Boston (!?!) and Gui Boratto visits a few weeks after that.

Alongside Diplo, DJ Hell is starting to appear on the Basstown radar–a friend appears to be going to work with him in Berlin. Hell is a megalith of techno, a veritable giant. Here’s a mix he did at Berlin’s mighty Watergate club:

Hell is probably most known around here for his rain-making remix of Human Resource’s “Dominator”:

Human Resource - Dominator (DJ Hell Remix)

It goes: “I’m bigger and bolder / And rougher and tougher / In other words sucker / There is no other.” It’s been remixed in an excellent way by Red Foxxx as well.

As for new tracks, Chilcott Place can’t seem to let go of Finland’s Motiivi Tuntematon:

Motiivi Tuntematon - I Don’t Feel Good (When Yure Not Around)

And Joris Voorn’s Resident Advisor podcast is playing right now:

It’s remarkably good. Best-mix-of-2007 type-thing.
