Hey Michael, last year I basically did a raid on every used record shop in London for as much house as I could bear. And curiously there is a lot of the Dance mania (I'm sure that's a toned down name from the earlier version - *Sex* Mania!) aka Power Music available - I'd definitely say that it's *not* because it's generally sub-standard! There does seem to be a connection with DJ Duke. But basically, I just found dozens of barely heard-of DJ Pierre things on the label. Two titles come to mind right now: "Dance With Me", and "Musiq". I also remember an EP eith about 5 mixes of this acid thing (title's not in my head) by Spanky, including a Blakkat mix. A very diverse, very underground label. Clearly aimed at the DJ - these are not listening tracks, or ones that work well on their own.
