You spend time reading ingredient labels, buying organic, choosing healthier foods—but what if the biggest threat isn't what's in your food... it's what your food is touching? In this eye-opening Fatal Conveniences episode, Darin uncovers the hidden health risks lurking inside everyday food packaging. From takeout containers and greasy wrappers to microwave-safe plastics and canned food linings, he explains how chemicals like PFAS, BPA, phthalates, and microplastics migrate directly into your meals—especially when heat, fat, and time are involved. Using newly introduced federal legislation, peer-reviewed scientific research, and practical solutions you can implement immediately, Darin reveals why food packaging may be one of the most overlooked sources of toxic exposure in modern life. Most importantly, he shares simple steps you can take today to dramatically reduce your family's exposure without waiting for government regulation. This episode isn't about fear—it's about reclaiming your sovereignty, making informed choices, and recognizing that what touches your food matters just as much as what's inside it. What You'll Learn Why food packaging may be contaminating your meals How PFAS, BPA, and phthalates migrate into hot food Why heat, fat, and time dramatically increase chemical exposure The truth behind "microwave-safe" plastic containers What the new No Toxics in Food Packaging Act proposes How endocrine disruptors interfere with hormones and metabolism Why microplastics and nanoplastics increase during reheating Which plastic recycling codes to eliminate from your kitchen Why grease-resistant paper can be just as problematic as plastic Practical ways to reduce your family's exposure immediately How choosing glass, stainless steel, and ceramic can lower toxic burden Why informed consumers—not regulators—will drive lasting change Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:35 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste 00:02:51 – The fast-food wrapper that changes everything 00:03:54 – Why packaging deserves as much attention as ingredients 00:04:51 – The overlooked Fatal Convenience hiding in plain sight 00:05:13 – Introducing the No Toxics in Food Packaging Act 00:06:10 – Why plastic isn't chemically inert 00:06:52 – BPA, phthalates, PFAS, and food-contact chemicals explained 00:07:49 – How heat, fat, and time pull toxins into your food 00:08:39 – The dangerous assumption that "legal" means "safe" 00:09:41 – Inside the new federal legislation 00:11:01 – The science proving chemical migration is real 00:12:08 – Why hot, fatty foods absorb the most contaminants 00:13:34 – Millions of microplastics released during microwaving 00:14:15 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:16:09 – New research on microwavable containers 00:17:48 – PFAS: the forever chemicals in food packaging 00:18:46 – Fast food consumption and higher PFAS blood levels 00:19:24 – What these chemicals actually do inside the body 00:20:39 – Why carcinogens are still legally used in food-contact materials 00:21:37 – The FDA loophole allowing chemicals into the food supply 00:23:36 – Practical steps to reduce exposure today 00:24:13 – Why you should immediately transfer takeout into glass 00:25:13 – Plastics to eliminate from your kitchen 00:26:17 – Supporting better legislation and voting with your wallet 00:27:51 – Awareness creates freedom and better choices 00:28:58 – The future of safe food packaging 00:29:37 – Final thoughts: reclaiming your health through everyday decisions Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Manna Vitality: Go to mannavitality.com/ and use code DARIN12 for 12% off your order.

Heat, fat, time, and modern packaging create opportunities for chemicals to migrate directly into your meals, but awareness gives you the power to interrupt that process. By choosing glass over plastic, transferring takeout immediately, minimizing processed packaging, and making conscious daily decisions, you reduce toxic exposure while reclaiming sovereignty over your health. Real wellness isn't built through fear—it's built through informed choices repeated every day." Bibliography/Sources: Legislation & Government Sources Food Dive. (2025, September 11).

The Bloodline has been the dominant storyline in WWE for the past six years. Just when you think the saga of Roman Reigns, the Usos, Solo Sikoa, and the rest of the gang is over, it rears its ugly head. As the name suggests, it's a stable that has been mostly made up of family members, and in music, there are plenty of bands where family members share the stage. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Warren Hayes (The Mr. Warren Hayes Show, Voices of Wrestling) play bands that have family members in them. Artists played include HAIM, Split Enz, Sly and the Family Stone, The Kinks, DeBarge, The National, Heart, Sparks, and many more.

This week's episode is a musical time machine. In the late 1960s, the band Zapata sprang out of a street gang in northwest Washington, D.C., with a sound that combined a variety of contemporary styles: Afro-Caribbean rhythms, soul jazz and the golden era of American R&B. The mixture worked. For a few years, Zapata opened for an astonishing number of A-list acts passing through the city, like Miles Davis, Sly and the Family Stone, Herbie Hancock and The Isley Brothers. But the band would break up in 1974, and for years their recorded material was believed to be lost. Now, surviving member Pepe Gonzalez has restored a cassette tape of Zapata's music from 1971, and is releasing it for the first time. In this episode, Felix chats with Gonzalez about the origins of the band, and how they tried to unify the Black and Hispanic musical scenes in the city at the time.The podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell and edited by Otis Hart.

For our final episode of season seven, John Silvester answers your questions about crooks, cops and crime. In this episode, Sly talks about his relationship with Chopper Read, for whom he and fellow journalist Andrew Rule ghost-wrote a series of books based on Read's prison letters. Sly talks about Melbourne's gangland war and its related characters, such as feared prisoner – and as we discover, aspiring poet – Matthew Charles Johnson. Johnson, of course, is best known as the man who killed Carl Williams in Barwon Prison. The episode, guest-hosted by producer and former crime reporter Tammy Mills, also traverses some of the cold cases that have haunted Melbourne, including the disappearance of Boronia schoolgirl Bung Siriboon, and the suspected murder of Cuckoo restaurant owner Willi Koeppen, widely regarded as Australia's first celebrity chef. Oh, and Sly also talks about the time he was accused of a violent crime. We'll see you next season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are here for a Pre Father's Day show. The show goes completely off the rails today. Sly tells the world his theory on how Joe Jackson is wrongly cast as the villain. How he believes that the best athletes have absentee fathers. And the best entertainers can't have gentle parents. They also talk about funeral etiquette. And how many fights that they have seen at funerals. (05:50) what if Joe Jackson was a gentle parent(18:45) fighting at funerals(23:20) Labron saw a fight at a wedding(26:40) "Special Friend" in the funeral program(34:00) Sly was security at a funeral(34:45) bad singers at a funeral(43:20) getting gas at an Atlanta gas station(52:10) a missing side tooth is not a good look.

合成器制作的四四拍舞曲吗？它是不是某种充满黑暗、反叛的地下文化的存在？还是那种只有在废弃的仓库、幽深的森林野外，或者是俱乐部人群中，才能真实体验到的氛围？我想，Techno的意义远不止这些。它的内涵远比一句简单的总结要深刻得多。作为一种音乐形式，Techno从最初在底特律的一个小房间里诞生，到今天已经成为全球无数地下舞池的灵魂。35年来，Techno深刻地影响并塑造了全球电子音乐的面貌。Techno并非一成不变。它经历了无数的变革、演变、融合、创新。然而，它的原始精神却从未改变。这种精神，如同电流在音符中流淌，依旧汹涌澎湃，贯穿至今。今天的我们，可能在不同的俱乐部、不同的城市中，感受到的是多种风格的融合。但每一次的舞池释放、每一次的节拍震动，背后依然藏着那份来自底特律的纯粹力量——那种反叛、自由、追求无限可能的精神。本期节目，我们将从最初的起点开始，带你深入揭开Techno的历史面纱，了解它的文化与演变。我们将打破关于Techno的种种误解与偏见，重新认识它的本质。因为，Techno不仅仅是声音的交响，它是一场跨越时间与空间的音乐革命。让我们一起踏上这段探索之旅，回到它的起源，追溯那份最初的力量。你将发现，Techno的魅力远远超出了人们的想象，它不仅仅是一种舞曲，更是一种改变世界的文化力量。而每一段动人的故事背后都有那些伟大的开创者。在Techno的历史长河中，底特律三杰无疑是最值得铭记的名字之一。如果你熟悉Techno，那么他们的名字早已回响在你耳边。如果你尚未接触过Techno，他们无疑是你进入这个伟大音乐运动的引路人。他们不仅塑造了Techno，也让这份力量超越了城市的边界，渗透进了全球无数电子音乐爱好者的灵魂。“如果没有他们，就不会有Techno。”Techno之书 第一章：Juan Atkins（开创者）今天我们要讲一个关于音乐传奇的故事，一个关于一切开始的故事，一个 Juan Atkins的故事——他不仅是底特律电子音乐的奠基人，更是现代电子音乐运动的开创者之一。Juan Atkins，生于1962年9月12日，来自底特律，一个并不起眼的工薪家庭。但是，从他在母亲子宫里的那一刻起，音乐就注定将与他一生紧密相连。Juan曾经回忆过：“我母亲告诉我，当她放某些歌曲时，我在她肚子里会有特别的反应。我只对那些喜欢的歌有反应。”从小生活在充满音乐氛围的家庭，Juan的父亲是一名本地理发师，同时也是一位经验丰富的中音萨克斯手。显然，音乐的基因在他的家庭中流淌着。Juan很早就接触到各类乐器，从低音吉他、电吉他到合成器，甚至是他祖母家那台古老的风琴。他说：“我从祖母那里获得了更多的音乐灵感。她有一台Hammond B3电风琴。每次我们去她家住时，她都会弹奏，主要是boogie-woogie风格。我常常在那台风琴旁边玩。” 正是这台风琴，让Juan第一次接触到声音合成技术。他意识到，电子乐器能创造出他能够想象的任何声音，而这种发现深深吸引了他，也为他日后的音乐生涯埋下了伏笔。随着年龄的增长，Juan的音乐热情愈加高涨。在十岁那年，他从父亲那里得到了一把吉他，并用自己的零花钱买下了第一张黑胶——Sly and The Family Stone的专辑。从那一刻开始，Juan的生活和音乐就紧密相连。青少年时期，Juan不仅在家里玩音乐，还和朋友们组建了Funk和Garage乐队，通过耳朵学会了弹奏各种乐器。他的才华被大家所认可，深受James Brown、P-Funk和Motown等经典乐队的影响，但很快，他的音乐旅程将迎来一场巨大的转变。正如Derrick May回忆的那样：“他是一位音乐人。从12岁开始，他的梦想就是成为一名音乐人，他知道自己最终会成为什么样的人。” 之后家庭出现了变故，在Juan的父亲被捕后，而这正是他音乐故事的转折点。Juan回忆道：“我们原本计划搬到加利福尼亚，但在最后一刻，我祖母打电话告诉我们：'他们在我这附近建了一座新房子。'祖母说服了父亲，最终我们决定留在底特律郊区。” 这个决定，不仅改变了他的生活，也改变了日后的故事 。正是在这座郊区新房子里，Juan的电子音乐之路开始启航。他的祖母全力支持他的音乐梦想，还为他购买了人生中的第一台合成器——Korg MS-10。这台合成器迅速迷住了Juan，他几乎每一天都在这台机器上练习，甚至发现了他可以操控白噪声，将其转化为鼓声。这一发现，彻底改变了他的创作方式，为他打开了全新的音乐世界。合成器瞬间成为了他创作的核心工具，Juan无论去哪里，都会带上它。他说：“合成器是这一切的催化剂。你从机器里听到的某些声音，会促使你去做某些事情。尤其是当你所有的节奏和打击乐都由这台机器做出来时。” 刚开始制作音乐时，Juan就利用这台合成器制作小军鼓、嗨帽声，所有的一切都通过滤波噪声、共鸣和调制来实现。这些看似简单的实验，逐渐构成了他独特的声音风格。随着时间的推移，Juan的音乐实验越发深入，他开始使用卡带机、混音台，并购买了自己的黑胶唱机。每一次新的尝试，都让他对电子音乐的热情更加强烈，逐渐形成了自己独特的音乐语言。贝尔维尔三杰，这个名字可能会让你联想到一个极具传奇色彩的组合——Juan Atkins、Derrick May 和 Kevin Saunderson。他们三人来自底特律郊区的一个小镇——贝尔维尔，一个看似平凡的地方，却成为了Techno的发源地。所以，贝尔维尔三杰这个名字，不仅仅代表着三位音乐天才的合作，也象征着底特律电子音乐的起源。Belleville Three: Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May和Juan Atkins那么，Juan Atkins和这两个未来的电子音乐传奇人物是如何走到一起的呢？其实，Juan是通过自己的弟弟Aaron认识了Kevin Saunderson和Derrick May。Kevin和Derrick比他小一到两岁，是他在高中时的同学。当时，Kevin和Derrick更多 地投入在体育活动上，而Juan则是一个安静、内向的学生，已经开始为自己的音乐事业打下基础。第一次见面时，Juan并没有展现出太多热情，然而，随着时间的推移，他们之间的友谊逐渐深化。值得一提的是，Juan Atkins对未来和科技的强烈兴趣，给了他无穷的创作灵感。他在高中时选修了一门课程——“未来学”（Future Studies），这门课的教材正是Alvin Toffler的《未来震撼》（Future Shock）。这本书讨论了快速变化的科技与社会变革如何让人类产生“未来震撼”的情感。Juan从中汲取了灵感，并将这种关于未来的思考注入到了他的音乐创作中。正是这种对技术和社会变革的兴趣，让他为电子音乐命名为“Techno”，因为在他看来，Techno正是技术和机器革命的产物。而实际上，Derrick May对此并不完全认同。Derrick May曾回忆道：“其实一开始我想把它叫做‘高科技灵魂'（High Tech Soul），我从来不喜欢‘Techno'这个名字。但最后没人同意，只好听大家的。”这个小插曲正好反映了三人之间的独特关系——他们虽然有不同的音乐观念，但却在共同的目标下，彼此互补，最终为世界带来了全新的音乐流派。Juan Atkins的音乐风格，深受德国电子实验乐队Kraftwerk、George Clinton的宇宙放克（Cosmic Funk）、Parliament Funkadelic以及底特律传奇电台DJ The Electrifying Mojo的影响。这些影响为他的音乐注入了创新和现代感，并且带来了更加深邃的音乐理念。Techno的诞生，就是这种多元文化的融合，它通过电子合成器和机器节奏，将技术与艺术、哲学与音乐结合，创造出了前所未有的声音。而在这个过程中，Juan不仅是音乐的探索者，他还成为了Derrick May的导师。两人之间的友谊，从一次国际象棋对局开始。当时，Derrick向Juan发起了挑战，却被Juan毫不留情地战胜。这场胜利不仅仅是一次简单的对局，更标志着他们首次深入讨论电子音乐的开始。自那时起，Juan成为了Derrick的导师，传授给他关于音乐、技术、甚至哲学的深刻理解。很快二人在当地的社区俱乐部开始打碟，并活跃在所谓的“高中派对场景”中，这些派对，主要是在一个名为“Deep Space”和另一个叫“Direct Drive”的派对之间展开竞争，场面火爆，观众们排长队，门票需要支付20到25美元，来的孩子们都为了寻找全新酷炫的音乐。正如Derrick May自己所说：“那些孩子们如果不喜欢一个DJ的 混音，根本不会跳舞。如果混音不对，或者DJ表现不行，他们就不会跳舞。Jeff Mills、我、Delano Smith、Mike Clark，我们都是从那个场景走出来的。我们在这个环境中长大，这就是今天我们所做一切的根源。”可以说，这个“高中场景”，不仅培养了他们的音乐风格，更塑造了他们对音乐的深刻理解。说到他们的“秘密武器”，不得不提那台Roland 808鼓机。这台机器对他们来说，简直是魔法般的存在。阿特金斯回忆：“我们带了一台808到派对上，为这台估计单独输出一轨来演奏节奏。”这台鼓机的加入，直接让现场气氛炸裂，观众们简直无法控制自己，而Direct Drive的对手们，则只能眼睁睁看着他们施展音乐“魔法”。808鼓机带来的声音，是那个时代前所未有的，也让他们的演出成为了一个无法被超越的标杆。Roland TR808 & TR 909鼓机我们说到的TR-808，TR-909鼓机，他们不仅仅是一个乐器，它在电子音乐历史上留下了不可磨灭的印记。它们帮助启动了一个全新的音乐运动——Techno，并为后来的酸性Acid House奠定了基础。其实，当时Derrick May遇到经济困难时，想将自己的一台TR-909鼓机卖掉，Jeff Mills知道后，想要以任何方式得到它，但Juan Atkins立刻劝他不要卖给Mills，因为那台909鼓机在技术上的优势，将转化为他们的竞争优势。所以，Derrick决定把这台909鼓机带到芝加哥，卖给了House音乐的教父——Frankie Knuckles。正是这场交易，间接促成了酸性Acid House的诞生。说回到Juan Atkins的创作，他不久后就称为了Cybotron乐队的创始人，这个组合的名字，至今在电子音乐界具有里程碑意义。高中毕业后，Juan 进入了Washtenaw县的社区大学，学习与电子音乐相关的技术。在那里，他遇到了同样是传奇DJ Electrifying Mojo粉丝和越战老兵Rick Davis。他们两人的合作，起初都是受到了对未来技术和电子音乐热情驱动。Juan曾回忆起第一次去Richard家中的情景：“我走进Rick的房间，简直被震撼到了。他有一台ARP Odyssey、ARP Axxe、Roland RS09弦乐合成器，还有一台早期的Roland Sequencer和Boss DR55鼓机。我只有我的小Korg MS10，当时简直觉得自己在进入一个外星飞船。” 这种视觉冲击和音效体验深深吸引了Atkins，他开始意识到，电子合成器不仅仅是工具，它们能创造出全新的声音世界。Juan Atkins也透露，这段时间他受到了Richard Davis的启发和引导，尤其是在音乐创作和商业运作方面。Juan说：“我想很多东西都与Rick的智慧和知识有关，他是一个非常聪明的人，比我大十岁，所以他对世界有更深的理解。他把哲学写进了歌曲里，他教会我许多东西，告诉我该注意什么，如何研究。” 这种跨越年龄和经验的合作关系，帮助Atkins从自学音乐制作的过程中，迈出了重要的一步。1983年，Cybotron发布了他们的首张专辑《ENTER》，并迅速成为底特律电子音乐的经典之作。这张专辑的音色和构思，充满了未来感、甚至带有某种超现实的氛围，正如Juan Atkins自己所说：“我一直觉得我们是比那个时代提前了20年。”Cybotron首张专辑《ENTER》专辑中的一些经典曲目，如《Cosmic Raindance》和《Dreammaker》，为电子音乐的早期发展带来了深远影响。但最具代表性的要属《Alleys of Your Mind》和《Clear》。展示了Cybotron无可替代的艺术视野。他回忆道，在创作过程中，Richard Davis给了他许多实用的音乐制作建议。他提到：“我读了很多书。其中一本书对我帮助最大，就是Richard推荐给我的，它叫《How To Make And Sell Your Own Record》。这本书几乎是独立唱片厂牌的教材，告诉你该如何一步步去做，如何制作专辑、如何销售，如何管理你的推广活动。” 这本书给了Juan Atkins建立自己的唱片公司——Deep Space Records的灵感，开启了他独立制作和发行音乐的事业。经过一段时间的合作，Cybotron不仅仅在底特律取得了巨大的成功，还受到了全球音乐爱好者的热烈追捧。1980年至1985年间，Atkins和Richard Day这对二人组发布了诸如《Clear》和《Cosmic Cars》等作品，这些都成为了电子音乐史上的永恒经典。随着时间的推移，Cybotron与Fantasy Records签约，并重新发行了他们的经典专辑《ENTER》，这也标志着他们的音乐进入了一个全新的阶段，开始在更广泛的领域内产生更大的影响。Cybotron的代表作之一，"Clear"，被广泛认为是电子音乐历史上的一座里程碑。这首几乎是纯电子的曲目，是Techno-pop与Electro的完美融合，为日后的Techno音乐风格定义了基础框架。它的未来感与实验性极强，几乎成为了电子音乐后来者的模板，也让Cybotron成为了那个时代最具创新性的音乐团体之一。然而，尽管他们的合作极大地改变了电子音乐的面貌，到了1985年，两人因对Cybotron未来方向和音乐理念的分歧而决定解散。尽管如此，Cybotron的影响力远超它的存在时长。作为Juan Atkins众多音乐身份之一，Cybotron无疑是最具影响力的，尤其对后来的Detroit音乐人和全球DJ们而言，Cybotron的声音仍然是灵感的源泉。它所创造出的外星音效至今无人能比，Cybotron的遗产依然历久弥新。尽管如此，Cybotron并未就此消失。经过了数十年的沉寂，Cybotron在2019年以audio visual演出的形式重新登上舞台，亮相于伦敦的Barbican文化中心，并且在巴塞罗那和阿姆斯特丹也举办巡演。新成员Laurens von Oswald与Tameko J. Williams的加入，使得这支传奇队伍焕发新生。2020年，Louis Vuitton Men's的创意总监Virgil Abloh和DJ Benji B也邀请Cybotron在Louis Vuitton 2020秋冬时装秀上进行现场表演。疫情过后，Cybotron在伦敦新开的The Beams仓库场地献上了一场震撼的现场演出，而2023年，Cybotron最终回到了他们的根源——底特律，并在Movement Festival上上演了他们的首次底特律演出。正如Mixmag的评价所说：“在2023年Movement Festival的周日晚，Juan Atkins与乐队新阵容庆祝了Cybotron的归来。这是他们的第六场现场演出，也是首度在底特律亮相。尽管演出中遇到了一些技术问题，但他们依然呈现了一场令人陶醉的表演，吸引了观众们驻足在主舞台，享受这一小时充满经典非洲未来主义的音乐，像《Clear》、《Cosmic Cars》和《Alleys Of Your Mind》这样的曲目，依旧光辉灿烂。”经过近30年的沉默，Juan Atkins于2023年发布了Cybotron的全新单曲**"Maintain The Golden Ratio"，这也是Cybotron自1985年后首度发布的新作品。而在2024年11月1日，"Parallel Shift”EP正式在德国厂牌Tresor发布，这张EP充满了科幻和未来感，正如Juan Atkins与Laurens von Oswald共同创作的这三首曲目所展现的那样——它们是对未来军事科技、超越时空的世界的探讨，同时也象征着人类意识和技术的深刻交融。Juan Atkins曾说：“Cybotron的名字随着时间的推移，已经成为了一种文化符号。”而如今，Cybotron以一种全新的方式继续吸引着全球的听众和音乐爱好者——这不仅是过去的回忆，更是未来的启示。尽管Cybotron的音乐显然更接近Electro风格，但它为Techno的诞生奠定了基础。随着Cybotron的解散，Juan Atkins并没有停下脚步，反而在1985年迅速转向个人音乐创作，并以Model 500的名义开始了自己的独立生涯。就在同一年，他成立了自己的传奇唱片公司——Metroplex Records，这也是他音乐事业的一个重要转折点。80年代中期Juan Atkins在工作室在那段创作时期，Juan Atkins几乎将自己锁在了房间里，专注于音乐创作，不允许任何人打扰。正如他自己所说：“我把自己锁在房间里，直到新专辑完成。我在那段时间里几乎没有离开过那间房，完全沉浸在创作中。”这种孤注一掷的创作态度，最终收获了巨大的回报。作为Model 500，他开始发布一系列经典的Techno作品，如《No UFO's》和《Night Drive》，以及1995年的专辑《Deep Space》。这一时期，他不仅发布了大量的专辑、EP和混音，还与比利时的R&S Records以及德国的Tresor等重要厂牌展开了合作。Juan Atkins回忆道：“当我在1985年2月或3月创办Metroplex厂牌并发布《No UFOs》时，我以为自己只是想回本，但最后销量竟达到了10,000到15,000张。”这一成功不仅证明了他对音乐市场的独特洞察力，也标志着Juan Atkins正式迈入了Techno音乐的世界，并为这个音乐流派带来了全球的关注。值得一提的是，Juan Atkins与Derrick May之间的友谊，对于两位传奇人物来说都是至关重要的。Derrick May几乎从Juan Atkins那里学到了所有关于音乐制作的技巧，而作为回报，Derrick则利用自己在芝加哥的资源，帮助Juan Atkins将他的音乐推广到底特律以外的世界。Derrick May曾这样回忆他们的友谊：“我基本上就像是他的门徒。他不让我做任何事，只让我坐着看。他是我的推广人，也是我的拉拉队员。我会四处去支持他，甚至亲自带着《Alleys of Your Mind》的首批45转唱片去唱片店，试图让它们播放给所有人听。”在Metroplex成立初期，Juan Atkins不仅专注于自己的创作，还通过自己的努力帮助了许多音乐人，包括Farley Jackmaster Funk，这是一位之后对house音乐史上的影响深远的音乐人。Atkins回忆道：“当我开始做Metroplex时，我把我最早的几张唱片带到芝加哥，其中就有《No UFO's》。我把这张唱片给了Farley Jackmaster Funk，他在芝加哥把这张唱片炒了起来，甚至让它比底特律还要火爆。” 这段话揭示了底特律与芝加哥之间的早期联系，虽然当时芝加哥还没有House音乐的出现，Derrick May和Juan Atkins等人开始将底特律的声音带到芝加哥，推动了这两个城市的电子音乐的交汇和发展。Juan Atkins继续说道：“那时芝加哥虽然已经有House音乐的雏形，但还没有House音乐，没人做 音乐。Derrick去到芝加哥，把我的唱片带给了Jesse Saunders，他几乎是做出第一张House唱片的人，还有Chip E这些人，他们开始在和Metroplex的同一时期里做出自己的唱片。可以说，形成了一种底特律和芝加哥之间的音乐场景交流。”Metroplex厂牌logo有了这一切的合作与交流，Atkins在Deep Space Soundworks的朋友们的帮助下，在底特律市中心创办了他们自己的俱乐部——Music Institute。正是在这里，贝尔维尔三杰成为了常驻DJ，并帮助了许多新兴的底特律Techno艺术家开启了职业生涯。这个俱乐部不仅是底特律Techno的发源地之一，更为后来被称为第二波底特律Techno的兴起铺平了道路。随着音乐的传播和影响力的扩展，Juan Atkins开始了全球巡演，尤其是在欧洲，征服了整个英国并启发/指导了一些英国的电子乐队如 '808 State'，他跨越英吉利海峡巡演——在法国、荷兰、瑞典以及传奇的柏林Tresor地下俱乐部演出。Juan Atkins回忆道：“我的风格就是Juan Atkins，我认为当人们预定我演出时，他们想要的就是我，他们想要的就是Juan Atkins。”Juan Atkins在Tresor表演特别是在德国，他第一次登上Tresor俱乐部的舞台后，他就成为了底特律和柏林联盟的奠基人之一。随着他与Tresor俱乐部创始人Dimitri Hegemann的深厚友谊，让Juan Atkins和底特律的声音成为了Tresor的代名词，成为了90年代初期Tresor的标志之一。在柏林的日子不仅让他成为了Tresor的常驻表演者，他还在那段时间与其他音乐人建立了重要的联系。在1990年代初期，一群来自柏林的音乐制作人开始频繁前往底特律，他们的目标很明确：购买大量的模拟合成器设备。经过一番搜索，这些设备被带回柏林，并且被重新改装，加装了早期的MIDI接口技术，虽然那时MIDI技术还没有广泛普及。Juan Atkins在2017年接受采访时回忆道：“那时，我和Mike Banks住在同一栋楼。有一天，Mike敲响我的门，告诉我‘嘿，这里有些来自柏林的人想见你'。然后是Mark、Moritz，还有可能是Thomas Fehlmann。他们说我们应该一起做音乐并去柏林演出，我就答应了邀请。我从未去过欧洲大陆，应该是1991年左右吧。所以，他安排了巡演 ，费用是通过在Tresor的演出费和我们以3MB名义发布的EP来支付的。”他们几个人因此组建了3MB feat. Magic Juan Atkins，要理解3MB的意义，你必须了解Tresor这个柏林俱乐部，它后来发展成了一个厂牌，成功将第二波底特律Techno的音乐人和作品带到了仍然处于柏林墙倒塌后动荡中的这座城市。底特律黑人的音乐找到了它在柏林的第二个家，而柏林的荒凉失去秩序的边缘感正与底特律的工业衰退历史不谋而合。你可以在Cybotron和Model 500的开创性作品中可以听到Juan Atkins那无与伦比的合成旋律；Moritz von Oswald对低音的偏爱，以及他对Dub音乐中Echo效果器的开创性实验；再加上Fehlmann的环境质感营造，这三种截然不同的电子音乐视角在Tresor风格的Techno的快速节奏下碰撞融合，最终形成了独特的音乐火花。他们的专辑展示了Techno是一个包容多元化的电子音乐品类。这种开放的音乐理念与今天已经偏向商业化的Techno大相径庭。3MB feat. Magic Juan Atkins，作为Tresor厂牌30周年庆典的一部分被重新发行，成为了这个柏林厂牌早期合作力量的巅峰之作。3MB的故事也在继续， 2024年5月，Tresor重新发行了他们在2017年的一张专辑,这张名为《Angles》的专辑包括两首曲目，其中《Concave 1》给人一种短小而深沉的感觉，低音线条伴随着回环的Dub和弦，在不同的衰退结构中游走。而第二首曲目《Concave 2》时长接近十分钟，感觉更温暖、更有机，充满了层次感和生命力。这张专辑再次证明了两位音乐家之间的合作是Techno历史上不可忽视的一部分。这种跨越大西洋的音乐对话，不仅塑造了柏林的Techno，也进一步加深了底特律与柏林之间的紧密联系。欢迎来到底特律TECHNO之城，诞生于1701年。尽管Juan接到了无数的合作邀请，并且被兴奋所淹没，他始终清楚一点：无论他在国外待多久，他都永远不会离开家乡——他出生并成长的地方“汽车城”底特律，他的家人至今仍然住在那里。而且，谈到电子音乐以及创作的源泉，底特律这座城市有着无与伦比氛围。他曾经说过“我拥有这种艺术天赋的责任之一，就是让人们听到它，并且能够参与其中。” 就像所有的天才一样，他总是走在时代前面，然而令人遗憾的是，底特律并不总是那么宽容地接纳他音乐。今天我们所称之为的Techno，在欧洲成为了巨大的文化现象，像野火一样蔓延开来，然而在美国，却几乎无人关注。Juan Atkins回忆道“我觉得我们在欧洲，尤其是在英国，得到了认可，而在全球范围内，逐渐产生了影响……而你怎么可能来自一个美国城市，那里这么少的人知道你在做什么？”尽管底特律起初未能理解这位先知的声音，但全世界都已悄然聆听，电子音乐的种子在世界的每个角落生根发芽。“Juan Atkins无论从哪个角度看，他都在音乐产业中留下了深刻的印记。”而他那习惯隐藏在化名背后的做法，也暴露了一个重要的细节：他不在乎追逐那种如今许多艺术家都渴望的“名声”。但如果说谁应该被称为科技音乐的教父，那无疑是他。正是因为他的存在，才为未来一代音乐人铺平了道路，让电子音乐走向了全新的面貌。2000年代初期，Juan Atkins依旧活跃在音乐圈，并且与许多杰出的艺术家合作——包括Moritz von Oswald、Kimyon Huggins和Orlando Voorn。他们的合作让一些经典之作诞生了，比如《Borderland》和《Mind Merge LP》。这些作品，无疑是那个时代的电子音乐的风向标。2002年，他发布了一张名为《Classics》的专辑。这是一张回顾性的作品，融合了他在Metroplex厂牌下的经典曲目，甚至还收录了No Ufo's的特别版remix，以及《Ocean to Ocean》和《Night Drive》这样的经典之作。然而，在这段时间里，Juan的生活却不那么顺利。他开始依赖酒精与其他物质，生活变得一团糟，连与家人的关系都开始破裂。更糟的是，他还被诊断出患有2型糖尿病，这一病情差点让他丧命。他回忆说“有一天我醒来，眼前一片模糊，几乎看不见自己手上的东西。我去看了医生，结果他们告诉我，血糖已经飙升到1200。我不知道英国是怎么规定的，但在美国，正常的范围应该是100到150。医生说，‘我们很惊讶你还能走路。'他们不得不给我打五瓶生理盐水，才把血糖拉下来，之后还给我打了几针胰岛素。”这些年里的低谷，几乎改变了Juan的一切。生活方式的改变，增重后的自律，使他逐渐恢复健康，而更重要的是，他重新找回了曾经的音乐激情。到了2005年，他迎来了音乐生涯的新高峰，他在Tresor发布了专辑《The Berlin Sessions》，并且同时推出了纪念Metroplex厂牌的双碟专辑《Metroplex 20 Years 1985-2005》。这两张专辑中，尤其有一首歌曲令人着迷——《Dreammaker》。这首曲目是他早期的Cybotron作品之一，从未发布，听上去有点像《Cosmic Raindance》，而且使用的还是那个经典的DR55鼓机。2006年，他在纪录片《High Tech Soul》中亮相，讲述了底特律Techno的起源与发展。之后他还与底特律三杰——Derrick May、Kevin Saunderson、以及Dimitri Hegemann,Richie Hawtin和Jeff Mills 一起，出现在2022年的纪录片《God Said Give 'Em Drum Machines》中。而在2007年，Model 500首次亮相底特律Movement电子音乐节（DEMF），现场反响热烈。2010年，Juan与R&S Records合作，发布了单曲《OFI》和《Huesca》。这张单曲，承接了他以往的音乐精髓，并且为他后来的音乐发展提供了新的方向。而在2012年，他又带来了专辑《Control》，这张专辑如同对他过往的一次总结。2013年，见证了两位音乐天才Juan Atkins与Moritz von Oswald的又一次重要合作，这次合作最终成就了一张名为《Borderland》的专辑。Moritz von Oswald和Juan Atkins(摄影：Jack Johnstone)来自柏林的电音媒体Resident Advisor报道“梦之组合的定义莫过于此。Juan Atkins和Moritz von Oswald这两位艺术家，完美诠释了底特律与柏林音乐轴心精髓。虽然他们之前有过合作，但《Borderland》是他们的第一张正式合作专辑。这张专辑是在今年年初在柏林录制的，它大大偏离了传统的Techno音乐，而是更倾向于Moritz von Oswald三重奏那种温暖、即兴的风格。融合了爵士的流动宁静与Dub的深沉共鸣，《Borderland》是一场放松的音乐体验，旨在通过柔和的低音线条营造烟雾般的氛围，引导听者进入一种深沉的恍惚状态。”专辑由8首曲子组成，完美融合了两位大师的风格。这些作品是在2013年初的柏林多个录音室中完成的，随后以三张12寸黑胶和一张CD的形式发布。2015年，Juan Atkins通过自己的Metroplex厂牌带来了他时隔16年的第一张Model 500专辑——《Digital Solutions》，这张专辑就像一部Techno音乐的时光机，带我们回到了那个曾经的黄金时代，同时也让我们看到这位艺术家如何在过去的经典与未来的黑暗之间游走。“《Digital Solutions》像是一套铝箔太空服，既闪亮又老派。”这句话是由Resident Advisor的乐评人Paul Clarke写的，他提到，虽然专辑的制作非常精致，但它的未来感却显得有些过时。就像科幻电影一样，曾经的未来充满了《星际迷航》那种乐观的空间梦想，而现在的《异形》却是充满了冰冷与压迫感。在他的音乐里，我们仿佛也能听到这种变化——从他过去的明亮科技梦，到今天更阴暗、更多层次的声音。这张专辑，大部分的声音都像极了他早期作品《No UFO's》那种硬朗的电子质感，甚至比他的1999年专辑《Mind And Body》还要复古——它抛开了那些灵魂与科技的融合，回到了1980年代中期那种纯粹的机器人Funk风格。记得《Night Drive (Thru-Babylon)》吗？如果你听《Control》，你会发现它像是从那首歌中分出来的兄弟。但这不是坏事，反而是好事。毕竟，很多艺术家一生都在努力复制Model 500的经典声音，而Juan Atkins自己做到了，且做得相当成功。专辑中有一首叫做《Encounter》，它的低频震动让人感受到作者与低音电子音乐风格之间的微妙联系，但最令人印象深刻的，还是它那富有电影感的弦乐与细腻的层次感，让人不禁回想起《Urban Tropics》那样的经典之作。而另一首“Hi-NRG”，则带给人强烈的Galaxy II Galaxy风格，让我们再次看到底特律先锋音乐的深度和广度。还有《The Groove》中的吉他独奏——那段旋律让你完全忘了自己听的是一张电子专辑，而更像是在听一个摇滚吉他手在舞台上狂放不羁的演出。Juan Atkins显然是在用这种方式告诉我们：他虽然已经不再年轻，但他依然能在怀旧的旋律中为我们带来不一样的体验。”“我不是为了钱做这件事。我是为了对艺术的热爱。”这样说道。有一次，他被问到，是否为自己创造的音乐流派——Techno的发展感到骄傲。他的回答很直接：“现在的Techno吗？对我来说，它更多的是一个市场营销的概念，我已经不再适应这种方向了。”他说，每个硬币都有两面，他并不批评那些选择了商业化道路的人，只是他永远无法去演奏那种类型的音乐——EDM和所谓的“商业Techno”。他的这番话，透露出一种他对音乐的坚定与热爱。尽管现在的电子音乐世界变化万千，但他坚信，音乐不应仅仅是为了迎合市场的需求，更应该是对艺术的真实表达。然而，他并没有一直顺风顺水。2015年，命运给了他一个巨大的挑战——他因严重的健康问题被迫取消了几场国际演出。实际上，他一直在与肾脏衰竭作斗争，这一切源自于他多年来的糖尿病。他在一份公开声明中向粉丝们道歉，表示：“过去几个月，我一直有严重的健康问题，这些问题现在让我无法继续巡演。我正在努力在未来几个月解决这些问题。我很难过不能去澳大利亚，但我希望不久后能回来。”但是，生活就是这样，不会轻易让你放弃你热爱的东西。即便在最艰难的时刻，Juan Atkins依然没有停止过对音乐的热情。为了继续他的音乐之旅，他甚至带着必需的设备进行腹膜透析治疗。在短暂的恢复后，他重新回到了舞台，继续在柏林、伦敦、梅德林和多伦多等地演出。“没有套路的公式，这里只有声音。这就是我感受到的、我听到的。无论我受到的影响来自哪里，可能来自我在母亲肚子里听到的那些声音。那些 生命中听到的所有挫折与变化，都反映在我的音乐里。”这就是世界上第一个Techno音乐人Juan Atkins的故事，他的故事还在继续！©️版权声明 “Techno之书”系列节目（包括音频，视频和文稿）版权归马海平、友好电波与 Mark Petes-Varga 所有。非商业用途可在注明出处的前提下分享与引用，但禁止任何形式的商业使用，未经授权的商业使用将依法追究责任。Track-List01.Cybotron -

Sly and The Family Stone- Life (Epic Records)  Released September 1968 Sly & The Family Stone's Life (1968) is one of the great overlooked transitional albums of the late 1960s. Released between the commercial breakthrough of Dance to the Music and the landmark success of Stand!, the album captures the group expanding beyond catchy psychedelic soul into deeper funk experimentation, social commentary, and more adventurous songwriting. The racially and gender-integrated band—still a radical concept in popular music at the time—blended soul, rock, funk, gospel, and psychedelia into a sound unlike anything else on radio. Larry Graham's developing slap bass technique became a major part of the album's identity and would later revolutionize funk bass playing. Tracks like “Fun,” “Life,” and “Love City” showcase the band's infectious grooves, layered vocals, and optimistic messages of individuality and unity. Although the album performed poorly on the charts upon release, it has since become recognized as an important bridge toward the socially conscious brilliance of Stand! and later funk innovations.

One of the underworld's old guard passed away quietly this year.Charlie Wootton didn’t need to be well known to be well respected in shadows occupied by hard men, controlling Melbourne’s illegal gaming industry long before the glittering behemoth of Crown casino.Though he posted death notices paying tribute to notorious crooks killed in the gangland war, Wootton was determined to keep a low profile, never mentioning the names of the celebrities and politicians who would attend his illegal gaming dens.Today, his son Robert Wootton talks to John Silvester in an unusual episode of Naked City. Unusual because decades ago, those same gaming houses run by Charlie Wootton were the target of Sly’s father, a respected gaming detective by the name of Fred Silvester. Further reading/listening The singing detective, Naked City, season one. John Silvester's latest story – 'Greed and hubris: The inside story of a legal scandal.'

This week on The Free Cheese, Sly, raccoon on feet. We return to the second PlayStation to explore one of its core third-person platforming franchises, Sly Cooper. After exploring the world created by Sucker Punch Productions, we share our thoughts on what this first entry does right from the start, how much we loved the look and sound of the game, and why meaningful collectibles make the difference.

In this episode, Charles sits down with Mike Bernard, a Boston-area author, screenwriter, and playwright who came to writing later in life and hasn't slowed down since. Mike has published eight novels, written a stage musical, and optioned multiple screenplays through prestigious competitions including the Academy Nicholl Fellowship, the Page International Screenwriting Awards, ScreenCraft, and the Nantucket Film Festival. The conversation weaves together music, memory, friendship, and the creative life — all anchored in the gritty, soulful sounds of the 1970s and early '80s. Mike's live music journey begins with a memorable — if reluctant — first show: escorting his grandmother to see Liberace at the Cape Cod Melody Tent. His real musical awakening came when he saw the J. Geils Band at the old Boston Garden as a teenager, an experience he still counts among his best. The blues-driven energy of "House Party" and "Musta Got Lost" made a lifelong impression, and he draws a sharp distinction between that era of J. Geils and the MTV-era band that followed. Other standout shows include Elvis Costello at the Cape Cod Coliseum — where the opening silhouettes under blue light during "Watching the Detectives" hit him like a gut punch — and an extraordinary 1990 benefit concert at Worcester's Clark University featuring Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Timothy B. Schmit, Bob Seger, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, and Jimmy Buffett all on the same bill. And for pure comedic gold, Mike recounts the moment a Little River Band guitar pick landed — and stuck — to his bare thigh at the Melody Tent, with zero competition from the crowd for the souvenir. Charles and Mike then discuss Mike's book Concert Dates; a fictional story told in interview form — inspired by Daisy Jones & The Six — that follows six friends who meet at a concert at age 15 and are reunited decades later through a video diary. The backdrop is the Cape Cod Coliseum, a converted hockey rink that hosted an extraordinary run of classic rock shows from 1972 to 1983, including Van Halen, The Clash, Talking Heads, Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and J. Geils (twelve times). Mike also shares the remarkable story of connecting with photographer Rudy Childs — a previous Seeing Them Live guest — through a Facebook group dedicated to the Coliseum, only to discover that Rudy's candid parking lot photos included a picture of Mike and his own friends from a Clash show. Listeners who enjoy music, nostalgia, and deeply human storytelling will find Concert Dates — and Mike's wider catalog, including Crossing the Sagamore — well worth picking up on Amazon. BANDS: Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Billy Joel, Bob Seger, Bon Iver, Bonnie Raitt, Don Henley, Eagles (Glenn Frey, Timothy B. Schmit), Elvis Costello, Engelbert Humperdinck, Frankie Avalon, Huey Lewis and the News, J.

This week on Born to Watch, Whitey flies solo for a massive deep dive into 1982: Year in Review, revisiting one of the most important, influential and completely stacked years in cinema history. While 1982 might not officially hold the crown as the greatest movie year ever, it delivered a collection of films that completely changed Hollywood forever.In this special episode, Whitey breaks down how one single year gave us E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Blade Runner, The Thing, First Blood, Rocky III, Poltergeist, Conan the Barbarian and Tron all within the same incredible stretch of cinema history.Whitey explores the insane eight-week period where science fiction and fantasy films absolutely rewired Hollywood forever. It was the year when genre filmmaking exploded, CGI truly began, practical effects reached their peak, and audiences somehow ignored two movies that are now regarded as masterpieces: Blade Runner and The Thing.There's a huge breakdown of the 1982 box office top ten, including Whitey revisiting Spielberg's emotional masterpiece E.T., which held the box office record for an entire decade. He reflects on how modern kids' movies rarely hit adults emotionally the same way they once did, admitting E.T. absolutely destroyed him on the cry meter during a recent rewatch.The episode also revisits cult favourites like First Blood, with Whitey passionately defending it as one of the great character-driven action films of the 1980s. There's love for Stallone's unbelievable double act of releasing both Rocky III and First Blood in the same year, proving just how dominant Sly was during the early 80s.Whitey also dives into why Rocky III remains one of the best Rocky films ever made, praising Mr T as one of the greatest movie villains of the decade and celebrating the pure charisma he brought to Clubber Lang despite having no acting experience.Australian cinema gets its flowers too, with a huge spotlight on Mad Max 2 and The Man from Snowy River. Whitey argues that both films stand proudly alongside any Hollywood blockbuster of the era and explains how Mad Max 2 became the blueprint for almost every post-apocalyptic movie that followed.There's also a deep appreciation for practical effects and filmmaking craftsmanship throughout the episode. Whitey passionately argues that The Thing still contains the greatest practical creature effects ever put to screen, while Blade Runner's vision of a futuristic Los Angeles remains one of the most influential science fiction worlds ever created.Along the way, there are classic Born to Watch tangents and stories, including:Whitey is getting in trouble in Year 4 after explaining an infamous scene from The World According to GarpChildhood memories of The Pirate Movie soundtrackThe bizarre success of Porky'sWhy does Tootsie make more money than Blade Runner feel completely wrongHow Grease 2 became one of the ugliest moments of 1982 cinemaWhitey also celebrates underrated classics like Firefox, Creepshow, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and 48 Hrs., while exploring how 1982 represented a time when studios were still willing to take massive creative risks on strange, ambitious and original films.This is one of the biggest movie deep dives Born to Watch has ever done, packed full of nostalgia, movie trivia, hilarious stories and genuine love for cinema.JOIN THE CONVERSATION Was 1982 the greatest movie year ever? What's the best film released in 1982? Blade Runner or The Thing? Rocky III or First Blood? Is Mad Max 2 the greatest Australian action film ever made?#1982Movies #MovieYearInReview #BornToWatch #BladeRunner #TheThing #RockyIII #FirstBlood #MadMax2 #ET #MoviePodcast

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by DE'WAYNE. With last year's june, DE'WAYNE entered a glitzy new era, penning songs that recalled Lenny Kravitz, Sly and the Family Stone, and Brandon Flowers. Centered by love, sex, and soul, the album marked another evolution in his deepening catalog, elevating his showmanship while weaving in enough vulnerability to be “a light for people.” Returning to the Artist Friendly studio after kicking off the first episode, DE'WAYNE sat down with Madden for a raw, unfiltered catch-up on identity, growth, and arriving as your full self. They also discussed what it means to be co-signed by Kravitz, hitting arenas with mgk, and why the garage is still the best place to be. ------- Listen to their Artist Friendly conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------- Follow Artist Friendly!

It's another week of bad news for PlayStation, as PlayStation 5 -- as well as PS5 Pro and PlayStation Portal -- are getting another fresh round of global price increases. While every previous gaming generation got progressively cheaper over time, our current gen is becoming substantially more expensive, and things are clearly starting to get to a breaking point. There's much to say. Also, more bad news: Newly-minted first party shooter studio Dark Outlaw Games has been unceremoniously shuttered after only a year. Such a move speaks yet again to the uneven leadership, tastemaking ability, and decision making at the top of PlayStation Studios, and begs the question how much bloodletting we need to see before anyone takes responsibility. If this sort of thing doesn't fall on Hermen Hulst's shoulders (an idea which doesn't really make any sense in and of itself), then who or what is responsible, and when will the poor stewardship of the brand's own games and studios finally cease? Plus: PlayStation cuts down on its years-long mobile gaming investments and initiatives, Sly 4 studio Sanzaru at one time readied a pitch for a Jak & Daxter remake, we nearly got a Breaking Bad game on PSVR, Epic Games lays off 1,000 employees, Pearl Abyss owns its AI mistakes in Crimson Desert, Microsoft Flight Simulator on PS5 gets PSVR2 support, Marathon sells a purported (and somewhat soft) 1.2 million copies, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! With Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth courting older gamers on average, is Final Fantasy officially finished with the younger generations? Are platform holders and publishers intentionally underpublishing physical copies of games to drive customers to digital storefronts? Do we believe the incessant rumors that Witcher 3 will get an expansion more than a decade after it first launched? Could Colin be the undisputed typing champion of Last Stand Media?
