What would you call the Purposemaker series? Surely the whole idea of making 'tools' records to fit in your set is why Mills keeps redefining the Purposemaker tracks for his own (and others') use. I do agree that many European DJs play in a very flat style and do not have near enough variation in their sets or in the records they play/produce to suit my taste, but I refuse to make grosse generisations about that being a product of their continental domicile. It's a simple result of the fact that Detroit music has influenced people worldwide and has been adapted into many different climates and cultures, creating many interpretations of the original D sound. Surely this evolution is to be encouraged, everything is derivative in music; no music is created in a vacuum and I feel strongly that this inter-breeding of both European and American (and other worldwide) interpretations of techno continue to push it forward. There is a lack of creativity in some of the producers/DJs at present, but it is ridiculous to suggest that Europe is stiffling a scene that has become worldwide and so influential that there will be pretenders on all continents making headlines. ...sorry, this has turned into a bit of a rant!!!...but I do feel very strongly that there is good music being made on both sides of the atlantic and that time will honour it and forget the plagarists. Different styles apply to different cultures, it's the cross- pollenisation of these cultures that ALWAYS results in the breaking down of musical barriers. Keep it up I say. Peace & respect to all 313ers worldwide... ))\ )) ¥ ___ )) )) (( \(( (( ((_(, (( ((...
