think some artists have oversaturated the acid techno scene with piss poor releases, many labels with really awesome roots like hydraulix/powertools have gone really candyfloss !

I think hydraulix's sound has got much better recently. Label sounds do change over time. If you listen to some of the first s-u-f releases there completetly different sound and style of production to what they are now. With hydraulix, henry's taste in techno has obviously changed since hydraulix 1 and this change in taste will no doubt be reflected in what gets released on hydraulix.

I personally feel that with the s-u-f collective labels they release some absolutley amazing tunes however i also feel they release a lot of shite. Its like some of the tunes that they release i personally can't understand how they ever got pressed.

Please don't take this as an insult to london techno as i do like it and buy it, i just feel they need to have better quality control
