Sorry to be a purveyor of bad taste ;) Maybe Felix sould've left Nina alone .... I can accept that. However, as to a separate point, I personally like allot of what Felix has been doing over the last couple of years. I think he has managed to make house music allot more accessible for many people who grew up during the 80s and parted ways with dance music when synch-pop and new wave faded. Although Felix has sort of shamelessly exploited the whole glitz s**t, I don't believe he's all about that either. Some of the mixes and sets during the last few years really reached deep into the dark internal realm that much of the best techno also mines, meanwhile crossing genres and generations.
On a different subject, I would really like to hear that King Britt track. Which song does he remix? What label is it on?

I heard it on the radio late night here in San Diego. That would be the only time I have heard it, and it was probably the only time it has ever been played on the radio here on the un-creative capital of the radio. I don't think that Felix Da Housecat has been all that great here in the last couple of years. I havn't ever heard anything off the Clashbakk label that I thought was all that great in the last few year.

Now, *that* was an excellent and respectful reinterpretation. It was not a bootleg, definitely label-sanctioned. It was from a compilation if memory serves, similar in concept to what verve is doing, but much better. my cdn .02. andrew duke >
