HMC is semi-retired... that's probably the best way to put it. He'll occaisionally play a party, do a 6 hour set of the old times if you like - playing house, techno and everywhere in between. Not sure if he's still buying records, wouldn't be suprised that he is.
The Juice Records website is back up and running and label manager DMZ is up to no good again - http://www.juicerecords.com.au Rob Little is HMC's brother and he's had one release on Adelaide label Undefined. bg On Mon, 08 Dec 2003 12:07:11 +1100, "Cyclone Wehner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > I actually think Cam (HMC) has temporarily retired - maybe someone in SA > can > confirm? > His brother was DJing and producing too, playing more progressive house. > I > have not heard anything of HMC for a long time. > > ---------- > >From: "Sam K" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: "list" <313@hyperreal.org> > >Subject: Re: (313) Derrick May - HMC > >Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2003 11:15 AM > > > > >> > Sam - you heard HMC DJ?
