Did Jeff give Sims Purposemaker?!?!??!

**The Overfiend** · 06-12-2003, 05:13 PM

I don't think the mixes are impressive. I like them but I'm not blown away like I just heard the newest hotness. I think anyone of us could have done this. But Jeff gave Sims purpose maker is ................

Sims remixing Mills, is this some kind of sick joke??
His productions are ****ing appalling, can't get my head
round why he's so rated.
Heard one, heard em all!
you would have thought he would have got someone decent
to do a remix.

In response to the people who don't like Ben's work:

I think you have to view his music for what it is (in the same way that lots of 'techno' at the moment is) - I wouldn't think that much he's released so far would get played except for when it's being played by a dj.

As much as I like his music I would never listen to music which is just one loop whilst sat at home relaxing - but on the other hand his tracks just sound great when your mixing them because of the production.

And to be honest if you just listened to those clips I put up whilst sat at your computer you may not be impressed but I think we all know what I mean when I say that for a dj they are tracks that just 'work'.

I'm just trying to put across the point that as a dj it's often more important how a track sounds that what it does and this is never more apparent than in a club on a big system.

Ben Sims uses the hip hop producer approach to Techno.
I don't care to explain it's kind of common sense.

**Dustin Zahn** · 08-12-2003, 07:29 AM

You can complain about or embrace Ben Sims all you want in this thread, but it won't change how the remixes sound or any of his work for that matter. The fact is Mills obviously thought Ben would be able to do it justice and they both seem to be quite happy with it.

I don't think its the greatest record to come out in recent times, but I think it sounds like a fun track that would be fun to throw around. People seem to make a big deal out of small things.

Maybe i do, maybe i don't.

But to me all his records are disposable dj fodder.
Here today gone tomorrow.

I am a huge sims fan, both dj & production wise, I think he is an excellent producer....if you dont like his productions then fair enough, but there are some who do and respect him.

and sherbert tone "here today, gone tomorrow"

I dont think so mate, sims has been around for a while and will continue to be around at the forefront of tribal techno....mills obviously knows talent when he sees it.

where the fudge did that come from?!?!?!?
it was a credible question as we have no sense of internation on the written word. he could be being sarcastic for all i know, thats why i asked, and that is all.
i may be cynical in my own mind, but i couldnt give a flying fudge what anyone else listens to.
i will not be getting this record, does that help?!

**miromiric.** · 08-12-2003, 01:54 PM
