Terrence Parker announced today that he will retire from club DJing in 2003. After 20 years on the decks and spending no less than 45 weekends of any given year on the road, Mr. Parker has decided to dedicate more time to his family, personal growth, and the business side of music. TP began his career in 1982 as hip-hop DJ Mixmaster X, and became perhaps Detroit's most acclaimed house DJ and producer in the late 80s and throughout the 1990s. He continues to operate Intangible Records and the Soundworks label.

Hell, Hell, Hell. Munich's DJ Hell - sharp dressed emperor of the International DJ Gigolos label, who's forward thinking brought us now household names from Miss Kitten and the Hacker to Fischerspooner [and has been subject to endless envious criticism from around the electro world] is set to release a new double mix CD on October 28th. CD1 focuses on house and techno, including tracks from Underground Resistance, Recloose and Metro Area, while CD2 takes a look at the darker, industrial roots of modern electro with cuts from Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Bigod 20, Chris and Cosey and 'teknopunk' Green Velvet. It's like he dropped by when I wasn't home, rifled through my CDs, made a mix... and is now going to sell it back to me.
Freaking genius bastard ;)

Thanks to Dave Pinter the the above news.
