-----Original Message----- From: Brian Dillard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >b) anybody ever heard of a richie hawtin track called "xxx" that featured on >a vinyl comp called something like "brand x vol. 1"? (i don't have the >record in front of me). it's not listed on his official discography at >m-nus.com and i've never heard of it before. the cartridge on my lone 1200 >is broken so I haven't even listened to it yet. > brandx was dj Moneypenny from NY,very important dj in the early days of techno,brandx was kind of a newsletter acompanied by tape she used to do back in the late 90's,and was kind of a real important thing to have ,back in the day were very few ppl were getting promos and stuff .That was nearly the only way of getting to hear new trax b4 they came out,i think she also ran the Experimental & Vortex labels out of NY,and she gave Damon Wild his first break on her Chapter1- unleash the groove,rekid on stricly,also had something to do with Blackdog as she getts thanked on the Blackdog ep(bd003),also from memory i think she said something in an inreview about not liking 313 music ;) and being in love with FDW(v old early Frontpage magazine). the record you bought came out straight after Ritchie did the FU & Substance Abuse rekids and is very similer in style unfortunatly that was the only good track there unles you like the early trance stuff by FDW,sven van Hees etc , i think that was the first track he did esp for a compilation!(btw the first remix he did was for Ian Pooley's "space Cube- Pure tendency" which was the first Force Inc record(tni 001) and "borrowed" in style from FU as well)
