I thought Collabs was just short for Collaboration... on those Novamute releases one Collabs is Speedy J and Adam Beyer, another is Speedy and Chris Liebing. And I didn't get them all but i think there may be other collaborators?

Anyway.. Speedy J is a genius... and so is Beyer, but he needs to pull the finger out lately - maybe he wore himself out making too many tunes! Liebing isn't really in the same league, production wise, but he's well able as a DJ.

I agree with whoever said the Collabs releases weren't up to much (any of said artists on thier own have come up with better) - it's dissapointing to see Speedy J hook up with either of those lads and not come up with something absolutely mindblowing!
But then again it's straight up, simple, Bangin' techno... the kind of sh it that rocks a party and probably worked a treat in OZ, and I hear OZ needs a bit of an education in techno, so fair play - Ya can't knock it!!

(btw, Speedy J's 'A Shocking Hobby' is one of the best albums EVER. imho)
