I think you are right Nick. This whole issue has become a bit silly. As the ancient Romans said: 'You can't argue about taste!' I believe the e-mails back and forth about Ben and Jeff have gotten a little out of hand. Everybody has a right to his/her own opinion, but if you start dissing people

Hi there (Haider?)Cyborg K, Nice to hear from somebody from Kalamazoo. I recently interviewed Jay Denham. Jay is such a nice guy and he has got interesting things to say. I'm really wondering what Kalamazoo is like. If all goes well I will be visiting Detroit and Chicago in May around the time of

I remember the times when electronic music was not as splintered up as it is now. I really love the music, but I just can't keep up with all the new variants of all the styles. In the 'early days' you had house music and everybody got along (Watch it I may be generalising a bit here). In the clubs

Answer for workz 'Scuze me?' Never seen Terrence Parker or Jeff Mills then? Never heard of them? I have seen Jeff Mills on numerous occasions starting in about 1993. He is still one of my heroes and yes he's great behind the decks and yet I saw Ben Sims do some stuff I've never seen Jeff do

Yeah Tristan, I know something about sleep deprivation too. I have so much ideas and plans for the future, but I don't have the time to work everything out. I'm a happy guy, but this is the only thing that really gets me down. Does anybody have God's phone number? I would like to call the guy

I believe Jeff Mills is a true visionary. This man is a philosopher. Try reading some in-depth interviews with the man to (try to) understand what is going on in his head. About two years ago I read a super-long, super-in-depht interview with Jeff in Magic Feet. It only made me respect the man

I saw Ben Sims play this Friday at the Silo in Belgium. Keep your eye on this guy. He is really brilliant behind the decks. Clearly his hiphop past is reflected in his mixing. I saw him do stuff I've never seen a dj do before. Really cool. Although I'm coming down a bit from this hard looped

Ok, Since I seem to get some support here on the Ben Sims-case: for those who understand Dutch [mmpff :-), that will be a great lot of you ] I interviewed Ben Sims for Bassic Groove magazine and that interview should appear somewhere in May. Yep, I know, still a long time, but it will be worth

I guess it depends a bit on the tracks on the e.p. I don't mind if an ep just has two tracks, good music is good music. I rather have problems with these looped techno tracks that don't change at all for about five or six minutes. Sometimes you can even see this when you look at the grooves of

In reaction to Silfert, All I know is that it should take place at the end of May (27;28;29, I can't be 100% sure, I don't have the info here at work). Carl claims he has been planning this for about two years. The festival hopes to program about 50 dj's and lives from Detroit and from all over
