I could not agree more with all of Derek's rant. Note for the record, I've been evangelizing about Mathew Jonson since I first saw him live @ Fabric this Spring. I'm not saying that to underscore the 'ahead of the curve' factor, just to say that this is not some f*cking trend based on two new releases! Everyone will love it, and I want everyone to take note! That is the only reason I've taken time to mention it. Precisely as Derek said, the hype is there because the music represents everything that techno is. I simply don't have enough superlatives for it. If people want to see it as a trend, that speaks more about their jadedness than the quality of the music they're critiquing. No one has has ever consitiuted a trend on thier own, and his inimitability will always keep him afar from classification. Let's revisit this discussion in 5 years and see if it's a trend.
