I'm sure lots of people know the origin of the samples, but would just play it because they like it. And look at Ben Sims, he's built his production career on ripping other people's loops - no-one has ever really called him shady. Mills has probably played the Killabites, and he got Sims to remix one of his tracks too.

It is a little cheekier this one, but I don't think this Rewerx 12" is going to sway Mills further away from doing remixes, the fact is he doesn't really do them anyway and probably has no intention to do many more, regardless of a bootleg that's doing the rounds.

Maybe Mills should make his catalogue open to some producers to remix, rather than exclusive 100 copy releases and all that crap. A proper double pack or album from a variety of producers.
well i was just gauging from what t-dj posted, a strong insinuation that this saga has been going on for a while and plays a big part in why there are not many mills remixes about, and from the horses mouth too going from t-djs post. I understand clearly that other's are morally no better at times than this rewerx record, but that's another matter, if someone started a ben sims rip off or not post im sure there would be similar replies to this thread from similiar people, just a thought....

judging from some of the comments on the rewerx website, alot of people actually dont know the origins of the samples, admittedly it seems its the younger generation who dont know the confusion... i quote one reply as "thanks for inspiring me", which just made me laugh out loud... another saying "nice and fresh" which made me laugh even more

ive never said it wont sound good when played over a big rig, i just think this is too much a blatant rip to get over it really, just my opinion, not gospel or anything. I just think if someone is going to go to the effort to cause this much hoohaa then why not just put their energies into something way more positive like new material, or maybe the person behind it is uncapable of coming up with their own material, which somehow makes it even less acceptable for me personally.

i dont think it was ever a case of they are going to make alot of money on this either, it's the moral viewpoint thats the issue here and some agree with it, some dont, that's just life really

not that i can see it ever happening but i know for a fact ten years down the line if i noticed one of my releases blatently pulled in this way i would be beyond fuming, as i dare say most other producers on here would too, or at least id like to think so
