i went years without knowing anything about the producers of the records that i was buying, it was only when i started using the internet that i began to find information on these people, or when i saw them dj or play live. i have to say its nice to know what these people look like and what they believe in but it doesnt bother me one bit if i dont know anything about the person behind the music. having said that i couldnt carry on buying somebody,s music if i found out he was racist.
