░ █░║│ Stop expecting to hear a certain sound │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ In the ever changing world of techno, Dan │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Curtin is one of the artists, whose records you still can score blind. Since his │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ mind bending first release through 33rpm/Sinewave, he got several juicy releases │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ out through again several fine labels. Smooth fine techno, with certainly an own │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ warm sound. A double pack, with remixes by Dave Angel and Orlando Voorn should hit │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ the streets soon, as he also got a much promising album to come via Belgium's fine │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Elypsia imprint. Time to hook up with this guy, who's living in Switserland for a │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ while. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ You already put out more than twenty releases. How do you look back on your career, │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ are there things you're most proud of? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ I have been doing tracks now for 5 years. I've had actually about 30 or so │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ releases, and this is not really a huge number considering the amounts some other │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ people produce, but the number of compositions is not what is important. I have │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ always thought that the important thing for me to do is to grow as an artist, to │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ always re invent myself, to take myself forward with each new record. These things │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ must be done in order to keep the scene going. The worst thing that could happen │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ (and it is happening now) is for progress to stop. Then we die like punk, new-wave, │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ and rock and roll. Rock and roll has died completely in my opinion, after a while │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ it stopped evolving and it lost it's initial meaning, and it became something else. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ What it became was a weak impression or the real thing, a product, with no other │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ function than to make a profit. Punk and new-wave died because the people involved │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ also refused change, In order for a band to remain popular they had to do all of │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ the proper punk 'things', they had to look a certain way and they had to act a │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ certain way and sound a certain way. They conformed to their own sets of rules and │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ therefore became obsolete. Now house is doing this and I want to stay clear of it. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ So as I look back I am glad that I have evaded these traps (and many others have │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ also) and I just want to keep along like this, always changing and learning and │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ striving to keep one step ahead of myself. I guess I'm proud of that, but there is │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ infinite room for growth and improvement. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Through which labels do you currently release your music? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Now I am primarily working with Sublime and Peacefrog, soon Elypsia, and │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Metamorphic, and in a lesser capacity I record for Multiplex, Fragmented, Reel │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Musiq. There are others in both categories who I can't mention, but look out for │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ the releases. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ On your Deception album, most tracks are from 94/95. Why didn't they see daylight │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ earlier? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Those tracks were made then but it's ok because they weren't dated or anything so I │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ wasn't worried about it. I just had a lot of tracks building up and I wanted to │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ release them. I still have some unreleased tracks from around '92, '93 and I still │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ might release them someday. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Metamorphic, your own label, why did you start it and what's the current state of │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ it? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ I started Metamorphic because I wanted control, the reason many people start their │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ own business I think, but it became a lot of fun and rewarding and these are the │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ primary reasons I do it now. There was a pause in the release schedule while I did │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ other things but now it is ready to come back again, with distribution by 7th City, │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ and I'm really excited about it. I love releasing records! │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ How would you define your music? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ This question I can't answer, it totally goes against what I believe in about │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ music. We need to stop defining and start defying definitions. Music is about │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ emotions and ideas. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Do you get any musical inspirations from others lately? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Yea, totally, I've been psyched by a lot of shit namely The Driving Memoirs by │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan Geist, and Dance 2000 by Larry Heard, and Carl Craig's last album. When I │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ hear great music like this I get inspired to create something great also. It feels │║░█░ █░║│ Metamorphic, and the next release on Metamorphic will be a new Titonton, in │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ February. │║░█ ░
