I am really shocked how quick you guys judge and condemn. I mean, talk
to
the guy yourself if you're burning to have your questions answered. He
replies to every email you send him.
Peace

This is a great post. and maybe someone should send him some stuff. I
always wonder if derrick does check all the new records. I too can't
work
out whether he's feeling the new stuff or not. From the c**p
rent-a-quote
comments he comes out with, I really can't believe he does. Like you
said
though, he might just not be feeling it at all.
It has been a great year for techno, but I tell you what, I know for a
fact
that 2004 will see better music coming from techno people. honestly.
some
of the stuff I'm hearing on cd-r's is just head and shoulders above what
came out last year, really really strong quality stuff.
here's a weird one though. Alot of stuff I've heard that will be out in
2004, blows away anything derrick put out on transmat lately - head and
shoulders above it. so maybe that makes me think he isn't looking
properly.
I wish he wasn't so f**king arrogant though, he comes across as a right
twat. I kind of thought that after john osselars interview too. a
shame, as
he's someone I've always held up as a bit of a hero, and someone I
always
will.
so, anyway, back to the point....
I'm gonna send him a cd.
