A fellow by the name of Steve Poindextor >especially. Yes! Maybe I should have clarified I meant besides Chicago, but I was feeling overzealous as DBX was pumping out of my monitors at the time. I didn't feel the need to mention this as an element of DB's output seems to be a reinterpretation or permutation of some of Chicago's source ideas (most notably SD's "Losing Control") - and anyway, most of his records were produced after a lot of Chicago's most memorable "track" output. Another example is how almost every genre of club music copied at least a part Basic Channel's style even though Basic Channel was reinterpreting and mutating dub. To extend this example, I would have put on a BC record, irrationally posted "who gave a shit about dark 7ths, near-subs and Space Echo before BC?" and gotten "Uhh... Tubby. Scratch." I'd say there is no argument about the worldwide RZ1 explosion happening post-DBX, not post-Poindexter, right? That's not a statement about either producer - it's a statement about the world noticing, digesting and copying a style. Yawn! The point was: go out and check out the new Accelerate double pack, it's dope!
