That explains why Ben wasn't to keen on talking about Killabite in the interview I did with him for Bassic Groove magazine (Holland). He stated he didn't really want to release the Killabites, but the demand was too big to ignore. I'll dig up that part of his answers tonight at home and forward them to my e-mail at work so I can post it on the list for those who are interested in it.
When we are on the subject of dj-tools and looped tracks like the ones Mr. Sims produces: does anybody know who's behind the User series. It's about the same stuff Ben does from time to time: samples of older house tracks in a new jacket. I really like those User release since they are great dj-tools. There's one User that has the sample from Los Niños del Parque (sorry if I spell this the wrong way) , but it's more worked out than The Loops on Hardgroove and it doubledecks from time to time. Some other deep shit on there too. If someone would have the contact of the people behind User I would be very gratefull. Maybe it's Mr. Sims again, who knows?

I came across two guestbook entries >at tronicmusic.com... Hi all, Killabite is actually Rob; He had the idea and produced the first two 12" with Bem Simms as the studio eng. At first Ben was not keen on getting his name associated w/ Killabite (he was afraid of samples/copyright troubles), however the records became big and then Ben told everybody Killabite was him... Of course, Rob was not very happy. The dog pic on the Killa sleeves is actually Rob's dog! He used to work for Victoria Distribuiton (Pro-Jex, Medusa, Sublime, Cloak&Dager, etc...) in London and he is also behind the Tribute 12" which features disco samples in the same vein as Killa... cheers, Guilherme ______________________________________________________ DJ Guilherme Menegon Sao Paulo, Brasil email:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> !Experimental! ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
