Re: Michael James vs Derrick May

[Will Walker]

that's crazy...despite any validity of his claims, he is super obsessing
and really looks to be trying to make a name by being the one to break the
story (if there is one)...If women start coming out about it, that would
totally change things...I know Eddie Folks has little love for DM...dunno
about Blake Baxter or anyone else who he says has made 2nd hand
accusations.   I really only scanned the threads, but the thing that lost
it for me was in his later posts talking about possibly getting killed and
outing DM's personal assistant and demanding they meet on his terms etc.
which really slaps of drama stirring and paranoia.  I'd never heard of the
dude til now and this is the only reason why I have and that's prob. the
point of all this.

I've been in the Detroit scene since like 98 and know ppl, ppl who know
ppl. etc. and have witnessed and heard first hand witness accounts of a
good number of things I won't bring up, but he's never been on the radar.

Not to say it didn't happen but also this guy obviously has a screw or five
loose with no real evidence or victim accounts and a little too much energy
(also that whole Nude Photo/Thomas Barnet thing seems ludicrous).

The whole thing is a super immature and an unprofessional way to go about
it, even if there is any validity.  Thanks for bringing it to attention
though, it's interesting to see what comes out of the woodwork...can't wait
to see what Jan. of 2021 brings :)

The problem is that we've all got the list archives available to us  
(here's a
hint -- they go  back to 1994, so you can imagine how fresh all these  
flame
threads are), and with a little judicious application of regular  
expressions
and copy and paste, we are all quite capable of completely  
reproducing these

latest threads, without the slightest bit of conscious thought.

Which is precisely how we've arrived at this point, it seems...

 I noticed that the Claude Young DJ Kicks was included in the list. I've met
 with Claude on a number of occasions - he hates that mix - he says he was
 massively restricted in the tracks he could use and that it isn't a true
 representation of his mixing style and anyone who has seen this master will
 agree.

If I recall correctly, what happened was that !K7 approached him about
doing a mix CD, and asked him what kind of cuts he'd want to use
in the mix.  He gave them an informal  list more or less of the top of
his head, and !K7 went ahead and paid to license the tracks without
confirming with him.  As a result, he ended up having to use the
tracks they'd already paid for.

Whaddya think about this paragraph where the mad coiner just
about busts a blood vessel hyphenating shit?

 In the tradition of hardcore and jungle before it, London's garage scene
 works as a gigantic laboratory, a permutation space where new hyphenated
 hybrids and creole micro-genres flicker into life for a few months or even
  just weeks, then disappear: speed garage, slow jungle, ska-house, acid
 swingbeat, hyper-funk, breakbeat garage, disco-ragga, grunge dub, riddim
  blues, electro-gamelan, divas-in-the-echo-chamber, crack house,
 tech-2-step, quiet stormcore, sugarshack breakbeat funk, scrap iron dub,
 bleep garage, wildstyle soul, lover's jump-up.
