hey now. no one says you have to love the music, but

I don't have anything personal against the promoters, but if you
advertise your company as booking "Minimal techno and avant house"
talent, then you should do that, and not limit yourself to producers
who happen to be
trendy/popular at the moment and associated with Hawtin, or his label
as the two shows in a row that Kontrol will be putting on after Dan
Bell are. If that's not riding the trend as opposed being really
dedicated to the overall "minimal" techno genre, then I don't know
what is.
I don't ordinarily jump in to idiotic arguments like this but when
my homeboys are attacked, I gotta represent.
I showed this post to John Tejada (via the elists.Resynthesize site)
and he said "Who is this Wojtek retard? I have nothing to do with
Hawtin or his label, I'm not some trendy/popular producer, and there
were 500 people there loving it and it looks like the 4 that didn't
just had to rush to their computers to diss it." 'Nuff said.
And as to your later comment:
It's not like apendics.shuffle (or however you spell his name) and
Orac had albums out more than a year ago (or that large of a body of
work for that matter)
[a]pendics.shuffle is Kenneth Gibson, a.k.a. Eight Frozen Modules,
and he's been around here (LA) for many years now - his first 8fm
album on City Slang was released 'way back in 1997. Get your facts
straight before you spout off, dude.
