I've just re-read the entire post, and had a look at http://www.djmani.com. Have a glance at his top labels list:
Labels I Like AXIS - Chicago - Jeff Mills CL RECORDINGS - Berlin - Chris Liebing DRUMCODE - Stockholm - Adam Beyer ELEKTRIX - London - Billy Nasty F-COM - Paris - Laurent Garnier GIGOLO - Berlin - DJ Hell H PRODUCTIONS - Stockholm - Cari Lekebusch IN-TEC - London - Carl Cox KANZLERAMT - Berlin - Heiko Laux ORBEAT - Naples - Danilo Vigorito MINUS - Windsor - Richie Hawtin MUSIC MAN - Amsterdam MUTE PURE SONIK - Chicago - T-1000 RED PLANET - Detroit - Original UR sub-label SYNEWAVE - NYC - Damon Wild TORTURED - London - Billy Nasty TRESOR - Berlin UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE - Detroit WARP RECORDS - Sheffield ZENIT - Naples - Marco Carola Hmm... Mostly European. Sounds to me like he's just had a few intense conversations in his recent travels and came out of them with what would essentially be a good idea (for American record buyers), but has gone way past the mark with his boycott idea, and spouted a load of ill-informed crap at the end of it. Frankly, I wouldn't bother getting too huffy about it. Dude's just stumbled onto some flavour-of-the-month ideology and put his foot in it. The basic idea is not such a bad one though (other than the boycott). Tristan
