i wrote most of the AP reviews as DJ Duodenum

Kari and I were pretty much the whole site. I bought piles of records from FAB and tried to help them as much as possible. But I remember that things went to shit when a bunch of distributors folded, FAB got robbed, and I could no longer afford to buy every new release. We were promised promos from the labels, but never got any. I just couldn't keep that habit going :(

Kari got into the "wonky" scene and organized some parties in London, and I went back to art school (6 weeks left!).

i'm mostly into older acid now, as well as the smattering of progressive (Minilogue, Vibrasphere, Ticon) and psytrance (Twisted stuff, Shift, Talpa, etc). I kinda drifted off when the London sound went all techno, as my true love in dance music will always be acid. i'm back to listening to/mixing early-mid-90s German stuff, which is basically where I started in 1995 or so.

I always wondered if anyone was reading our site, so it's good to hear.

Derek is still in Japan, IIRC. I think he found an acid techno scene there!
