"most diverse producer of the year award"? naw, it gets me a bunch of unreleased stuff to shop around with concept and industry in mind. I HAVE NEVER MADE A TRACK WITH SALES IN MIND. there are tracks though that will obviously sell better than others.

the folks who kno me will tell you that i would NEVER have spoken about industry and marketing 5 years ago, but it is an experience.

and thanks for the news flash smartass, but there IS money in techno. playing gigs pays. but how do we get gigs? NEWSFLASH NUMBER 2: MARKETING, IMAGE, PUBLICITY.

**** being a broke assed purist. techno aint the end all and be all to music and i am creepin up on 30 years old, you think i wanna be making banging techno at 30?! i had a dream to define my own sound within the genre of techno. now, 30 friggin records later, i have another dream... to be recognized and successfull as AN ARTIST, not as a techno beatsmith.


this year deafmosaic recordings becomes DEAFMOSAIC GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP. we are getting into the hip hop mixtape game. launching a new urban music label based around CD releases in best buy, wallmart etc. creating DVDs, breaking new artists in MANY MANY genres. DM and GCS will continue to release my signature sound and that of the folks round me, but we will no longer limit ourselves to the "techno" world, because there are SO MANY interesting things going on nowadays that we would be awfully STUPID to overspecialize at this point.

a lot of you fools are going to laugh when my publicist puts me on the circuit later this year, you will be like: look at that fool gunny rappin on tv. look at that fool gunny playing jazz in bars round nyc, look at that fool puttin his picture on the records(yea i heard you all talikin shit bout dm06)
look at that fool doing melodic releases on MB selektions ( yea you fools were laughing til you found out ruskin etc. were doing it too)


i trited to tell the spanish boys that in order to gain recognition and respect for the spanish artists, that they would have to learn not to overspecialize and would have to invest in publicity like the detroit boys, nobody listened and now look. BACK TO SQUARE ONE. **** it, i aint getting left behind. you gotta be a leader in this shit. all these people releasing double albums with 8 techno tracks on it is stupid imo. we have achance to cross over and do something to bring techno out of dirty warehouses and into focus as an art, but all this "purism" has cost us the right to an industry which turned out to be just a passing "scene"... cuz folks just got so deep into one little "niche" sound that they forgot about the rest of the f4cking world.



RANT OVER :roll:
I knew there was a reason I supported you from the beginning.
