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! Work that.
-Now we're waitin for the BOSS 550mkII/660 drummachine mania to sweep over
the whole civilized world. Now the only people who actually use (and abuse)
the machine are Dance Mania producers and "rock"musicians... Hint hint ;)
