:arrow: yeah so dave clarke did gc (that's pretty depressing actually) he did some chemical bros remixes an crap before that but so what? i saw him play probably for very little money at DEMF this year and he tore it the hell up. sure he's gonna loose a certain amount of cred from the hardcore types like us but i don't believe it will by default make him any less talented or turn him into some kinda dj hell cheeseball or anything. some people (umek) will become more interested in popularity, record sales, personal finincal gain and pump out utter crap like "electroclash" and others will contunue to innovate. some of you are probably too young to remember what was considered "techno" in the very early days of rave (late 80s/ early 90s) adamski, prodigy, guru josh all had mainstream sucess, everyone was trying to find the illegal parties blah, blah, techno just kept on evolving in an awesome way. the chumps got left behind, the underground remained. a while back i read an interview with the electroclash duo "adult" they mentioned that electroclash and gigolo was about the "glaming up" of techno they wanted to make it "more sexy". did they make anything even remotely close to techno? i think not.

no worries.
