The Other People Place article, Music For The Other People Place and more

This is an excellent and extensive piece by Daniel Montesinos-Donaghy about The Other People Place's Lifestyles of the Laptop Cafe. Some interesting interviewees (including me) and the story behind the $25,000 copy on Discogs, its iconic artwork and more. The article has been up since February but I only saw it.

A new live show has been announced for Dopplereffekt in Hamburg, Germany on 18th August.

There is a very exciting new project and concept, Music For The Other People Place, from Fundamental Records. Inspired by the spirit of James Stinson, you can read all about it at this link and sample some of the forthcoming music. Fundamental always do amazing projects so I'm sure this one will be very special too.

'This project is also a tribute to the legendary James Stinson, an artist who was blessed with the gift of creating with a mind that was completely free from prejudices. He took his music beyond the imaginable. Beyond any name, label or genre. This is why we chose this name for the project. However, as fans who have nothing but admiration and respect for the legacy of James Stinson, do not expect this project to be a collection of Drexciya style works. This tribute has to be understood simply as an homage to someone who fought for creative freedom in each of his works.'

You can listen to the new NRSB-11 track, 'Nationalised', from Kern Vol. 4 on Tresor, which was selected and mixed by DJ Stingray 313. Previously this has been a collaborative project involving DJ Stingray, Heinrich Mueller, Penelope Martin and others (not sure of current lineup but guess Stingray and Mueller are still involved). Their debut album, Commodified (2013) on WeMe is well worth hearing too.

This radio show is the first of the James Stinson 15th anniversary events to be confirmed. I'm aware of 3 others in the works and will share them once they are finalised. If anyone is interested in doing a small tribute/celebration of James Stinson/Drexciya in a bar, club or online on or around the 3rd of September I will be happy to share.
