I'm not sure if you are joking here but I think it is perfectly reasonable to grow up in Croydon listening to UK Garage and Hip Hop and then go on to make 'grime' while at the same time being unaware of Plastikman - get a hold of yourselves peeps - we live in a tiny enclosed little world that most people will never know or care about - we shouldn't be at all surprised or offended that the demigods of 313 techno are off the radar in the big bad world of grime, bosh, bonebreaks and slosh music or whatever the new genre is. It is rather arrogant of us to presume that anyone with an interest in music made with machines has got to have heard Richie or Derrick, or should even care about them.

I totally agree with you on that one - how far up your own arse does your head have to be if you are into electronic/dance music and you haven't heard the name Richie Hawtin/Plastikman? Doesn't this guy have any mates who would say- "Errr, ah - ya know what I think that name's been taken, and anyway, you look like Vanilla Ice with those lines shaved in the side of your head and eyebrows" MEK ##################################################################################### Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically stated.
