The story should be on threedworld Syd, but I can't find it! They only put some stories online. We had been talking about minimal and how he didn't feel the new music and preferred the original classics as they're better produced. It was for his new Renaissance CD which I think has some Transmat music on it. Tom is a bit of a maverick - he did these covers comps that some people loathed but he happily admits to liking cheesy *and* more intellectual stuff. ( I myself get different kind of pleasure out of both The Martian and Girl Talk/ Justice, it's possible!)

It was a bit truncated the story but they're the main quotes below.

wow.  tom middleton just lost 1000 cool points in my eyes.  how could
he possibly give josh wink credit for minimal music!? the "new wave"
qualification does not justify the complete disregard for dan and rob,
not to mention basic channel?

i guess, though, in a way, he's right.  if we're talking about
mediocre detroit minimal techno wannabes, josh wink did sort of
trailblaze that movement.

funny thing is, i actually really still love josh wink's older
records, quite in spite of myself.

and tom middleton has done enough brilliant work in my opinion to
maintain some respect for him.

He told me himself actually. Quotes are below. I think you could find the original story I wrote on 3d world mag's site. He was mainly raving how much he loves Jon Hopkins who I actually am enjoying too now. Tom did an album
late last year that I think is quite enjoyable.

"Josh Wink doesn't get the props that he deserves. He more or less created this whole new sound and, for the most part, it's been appropriated across
Europe.
"If you look at his style, and trace it back a few years, he's probably one of the first of the new wave to really focus on this stripped-down minimal
house vibe.
"He's still the king for me."

the idea of tom middleton giving that much respect to wink makes me
kind of queasy.   then again, perhaps it's not respect per se.

Tom Middleton reckons it's Wink who is the real architect of the
 current sound so big in Europe. Interesting theory...

I'm not hating on him- as said, I completely respect
the music he has made and the energy he created in
Philadelphia (though he plays there on such a rare
basis anymore). I consider he and Nigel intelligent
individuals who have seen more than my eyeballs ever
will.
I really wasn't aware of any image he has considering
I don't go out or listen to recent downloads, etc.. I
think it just takes a lot to get me getty about
anyone, anywhere anymore. Show me creativity, do
something else than a someone on a stage with
finalscratch and a laptop.

no hatin', all love
but for the sake of discussion...

i don't really understand why so many people hate on
josh wink.  his
set at demf 06 left me colllllllld but i really
enjoy a lot of his
records, and i've heard him play some really great
dj sets too.  i
think a lot of people hate on him, frankly, simply
because of his
image.

*braces self*

 I haven't seen Josh Wink play lately, but his


music is



 not exactly a motivator.

 I completely admire what Josh "built" in Philly


in the



 past with others. maybe Josh Wink battling it up


live



 with Carl Craig. No preprogrammed weapons- just


two



 men, turntables and some buttons.

 love from glasgow,
