Float :: 11.22.03 :: Ringside

North Carolina: raise your mopped fist in a display of pride! Our fine 
state boasts not only a thriving artery of dj culture, but also a 
simmering pool of producers making mindblowing dance music right in 
our own backyard. 

Float is proud to present live sets by two fine Tarheels who have 
taken their affinity for Detroit-inspired techno, electro and disco to 
the next level…

Ja’Maul Redmond 
[loner.9, Activ-Analog Records : Charlotte]
www.activ-analog.com – live techno

Originally hailing from Flint, MI, Ja’Maul’s music is deeply 
influenced by the subtle, shifting 808 minimalism of techno masters 
Robert Hood and Carl Craig as well as the jacked electro of Juan 
Atkins, Aux 88, Keith Tucker, etc. Opting for analog drum machines 
over laptops, he coaxes maximum expression out of relatively basic 
technology—to maximum effect on the dancefloor. Look for a deep 
electro jam out now on Charlotte’s Activ-Analog label.

$tinkworx 
[Downlow Records, Bunker, Delsin : Chapel Hill]
www.downlowmusic.org – live electrodisco

$tinkworx is NC’s best kept electronic music secret—but not for long! 
Expect invocations of the spirits of Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder 
amidst funky-ass (the hyphenated word cannot be avoided) Rhodes keys 
and a dashes of tweaky acid wash. Not long after releasing a couple 
hot 7”s on his Downlow imprint, he caught the attention of Bunker, 
Holland’s premier electro label, who issued another couple of 12”s 
that have earned him a pedestal in the brownish pantheon of Dutch 
electrodisco denizens.
