Is it ketamine’s turn to drive club culture?

Simon Reynolds – Feeling wonky: is it ketamine’s turn to drive club culture?

“Quite the most intriguing meme I’ve, er, bumped into recently has been the alleged link between ketamine and wonky, an offshoot of dubstep that has got all the dance-bloggerati burbling with excitement in recent months. Now that really awakes my interest because it’s been a long time since there was a drug/music synergy of real consequence in UK post-rave culture, one where a particular chemical actually seemed to be driving the direction of a style of music and shaping the vibe on the dancefloor.”

“Beyond the statistically monitored rise in usage and the anecdotal evidence, it’s also true that certain drugs become “It drugs”: their effects come to define the mood of an era, affecting people who never actually take the substance in question. Amphetamines defined punk and postpunk; there was a talk-talk speediness, a brittle, irritable feel of intellectual unrest to British music culture at that time. LSD, via not just the sounds but the album covers and poster art and clothing styles, affected far more people in the Sixties than ever actually took acid. Ecstasy, likewise, set the tone for much of the Nineties. The fact that K has been a fixture on the clubland drug menu for a good while wouldn’t necessarily prevent it from being suddenly promoted to “It drug” status. MDMA (and its close relative MDA) had been in existence for decades before taking off and becoming the zeitgeist drug. Sometimes chemicals are “waiting” for the social conditions to be ripe and for the exact right sound that synergises with their effects to arrive.”

Fabric 45 – Omar S

Fabric / 17.03.2009 / download

“Fabric will ask you to put your hands up for Detroit later this year when it invites Motor City producer Omar-S to become the next artist to grace its celebrated mix series. The fiercely independent producer isn’t repping his city so much as himself, however, as the tracklist looks a lot like Ricardo Villalobos’ turn at the Fabric helm. That’s right, Fabric 45 is an all-Omar affair. The street racer has put on some of his most famous productions, most notably “Psychotic Photosynthesis” a song which Omar claims he put together in a matter of minutes, and added four new tracks of previously unreleased material. In typical Detroit style, he told Fabric, “I don’t need other people’s music; I got over 100 songs released. I can make fucking six fucking Fabric records right now. I can probably make fucking ten CDs just of unreleased shit.” RA

VA – The Grandfather Paradox

BBE Records / Henrik Schwarz / Dixon / Ame / 23.02.2009 / download

“When we first started thinking about the compilation, we had in mind the idea to put together a great minimal techno selection with stuff from the early 90s, which really inspired us, like Robert Hood, Dan Bell, Plastikman, Pansonic and Mike Ink to name a few. Whilst working on the project we had the feeling that there is so much more great and influential minimal music from way before the techno thing started.

So we were very excited to combine the music from the electronic pioneers, with the tracks from the minimal techno godfathers in a very modern way.”
