IsnĀ“t Richie Hawtin a player hater (at times)? He used to diss Dave Clarke for playing "zombie nation - kernkraft 400"...
Richie would be a funny Janus-faced playa-hata' at that, since he's probably the most simultaneously adored & dissed techno DJ/producer since Jeff Mills (who is, i think, still the most polarizing force in 313-discussions -- either you worship his stuff or you think he's terribly overrated). But y'know, at least Jeff Mills never (to my knowledge) openly dissed anybody for what they chose to put in their sets. And as popular (and wealthy) as Hawtin is, you'd think he could afford to buy himself some magnanimity. (*IF* he actually dissed Dave Clarke, which I never read before or heard him say.) -marc
