wait untill its played on a 10KW soundsystem, dancefloor will love it...I wasnt that impressed at first, but after I heard it out loud I had to kind of change my opinion about it...think it can cause massive dancefloor damage during the following months...but hey, judge for yourself, have to say i was kind of drunk that night, so could colour my enthousiasm a bit, but again, i think it sounded really good...but I realise that my opinion is also just an opinion..

I know there are a lot of people who are less positive about Speedy J then some years ago (especially the spoiled Dutch crowd...), but this man has always been making great music (from his early old school stuff to his experimental and banging techno stuff!)...Lots of people still trying to copy Jochem every day, but there's only one. He did a experimental set at one of my parties some time ago, which started with over an half hour with the most amazing soundscapes, then slowly turned to down tempo minimal stuff and ended with some banging tunes...Was a set to never forget...I know this wasnt the topic, but I really wanted to say this, since I think this man deserves shitloads of respect, which I think some of the so called techno purists in Holland are not giving him. I have to say I might be a bit prejudiced, since he was one of the main reasons I got into techno. Visiting parties in my hometown about 10 years ago, where he and Jeroen Verheij (Secret Cinema) performed, they still are two of my favourite live-acts and producers...Sorry if I sound a bit frustrated about this, but especially in Holland a lot of people are bitching about people that really don't deserve this attitude...pfff, got that out of my system...hehe...

PLEASE NOTE that this last text is not a response on the topic entries, its just something that came up when i was thinking a bout speedy j, so did NOT meant to offend any one on the board...Its mainly the fact that I cannot understand the Dutch techno crowd....
