You know...we're talking about Derrick May, mix CDs...and all that: FBK and Reel By Real were just featured on a mix by Marcel Dettman called CONDUCTED.
as memory serves me correctly, FBK IS a member of this list. From what I know, Derrick May isn't...and based on pushing things forward...I would probably rather buy this. I don't buy CDs...I make them....but I just thought since NOBODY BOTHERED TO say anything about this disc...I guessed I would. Sorry to hijack your thread. FBK Do people buy mix cds anymore? Shoot, I don't know...but the liner notes for this disc are quite interesting... http://www.electronicbeats.net/music/reviews/marcel-dettman-conducted cheers...
