Re: [313] Josh Wink responds to Dan Bell
losing control came out in 1994 did it not? - Dan suggests that he originated the technique of manipulating a frequency filter over a repeated vocal phrase that on his Losing Control track released in 1995. However, my 1993 track entitled How's the Music, released on Nervous Records NYC in 1994, among others, uses that technique. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I did not copy or sample his work and, apart from being of the same genre of music, I don't believe the tracks are similar. Except for Dan, no one else has come to me and said that my track reminded them of Dan's track, and those I know who have heard both tracks, agree with me that the tracks are not similar except for the genre of music. I seldom sample, but when I do, I clear the samples and follow procedures to ensure everything is legal. My Superfreak track is 100% sample free. I am very pleased that the track has promotionally been doing well. I don't know what Dan's motives are in making these claims but it sounds like sour grapes to me. I have known Dan for a while and bear no ill will toward him. However, I do strongly disagree with his claim and his recent tactic of trying to tarnish my reputation in the music industry through mass email mailings and press releases broadcasting his unfounded allegations against me of copyright infringement. Given that Bell has not yet begun a lawsuit, much less won one, it is disturbing to say the least that Bell would stoop to such hurtful and unwarranted mudslinging against a fellow artist. I stand behind the integrity and originality of my Superfreak song without reservation. The letter that Dan wrote to an industry publication regarding his claim against me has gotten a lot of attention. Unfortunately for me and for the music community, it contains numerous inaccuracies and false allegations on top of his baseless claim concerning Superfreak. To highlight a few: -In regard to my track How's Your Evening So Far, Dan is completely off base. My label, Ovum Recordings properly sought to clear the Lil' Louis sample included on the track prior to the release of my record. We agreed to give Lil' Louis 100% of the publishing. An issue arose with the clearance because we had been incorrectly advised that Sony controlled the song for the world when it only controlled it for North America. A lengthy negotiation ensued between Sony and London Records, which published the song outside North America, which held up the release outside North America. However, neither I nor Ovum had resisted giving Lil' Louis proper writer credit for the song. - Dan implies that my track Don't Laugh mimics his track Losing Control. However, I wrote Don't Laugh before I ever heard Losing Control. - Dan suggests that he originated the technique of manipulating a frequency filter over a repeated vocal phrase that on his Losing Control track released in 1995.
