This particular interview is so interesting and in-depth that I haven't even had the chance to finish watching it. Terre Thaemlitz has been better known, recently, as DJ Sprinkles - the artist who produced the #1 electronic music album of 2009, according to Resident Advisor. I'm not alone in admitting that this album completely passed across my radar until it was dubbed the king of last year, and I immediately fell in love with it. Twenty-ten is the year of deep house as far as I'm concerned, and no matter how prevalent house has been in both New York and electronic music's rich history I regard its currently coined "renaissance" as truth.
The few things I knew about Terre is that he'd been a long-time house producer/DJ in New York for years, and is currently living in Japan. Not Tokyo, but outside in the country in a gorgeous atmosphere that breeds his unique creativity. He's also a transvestite. Or maybe transgendered, but I've not dug that deep. He is highly opinionated and has perspectives on house and music in general that are obscure, different and thought-provoking. Interviewing him here is Todd Burns, the editor of Resident Advisor, whom I believe to be a major reason behind the increased (increasing) quality of RA's content over the last few years.
Basically, if you are a fan of music in any way, shape or form, this video is worth watching.

Without any Kassem pics for use, we turn to sausages. Oh yes.
mnml ssgs is a wonderful website. It's devoted to minimal techno - one of my favorite things - and while being light-hearted, the entries can also be more informative than any other spot on the Internet. It's a great source for raw information on lesser known producers and DJs, but also a good place to get an honest opinion from music lovers with very, very good taste.
The site has just put up a Q&A with Kassem Mosse to follow up on last week's 18th mix, which features him on the decks.
Oh, and he's from Germany - surprise!
