So would you consider yourself wonky, in your definition of the word?

From what I've heard from you guys and the mixes I have listened too, my collection (second to acid) is massively dominated by wonky records.

I've made loads of different stuff over the years, ranging from Hard Techno, Chicago style trax, through to electronica through to hiphop beats, dubstep inspired stuff, and pretty much everything in between, so I wouldn't really tie myself to any one "genre" or "sound"

the surgeon track on this was another influence for me:

well should one not dis the label, but the shit artist?

If a record has good choons on it, then its a good record. Not saying that what what your saying ain't true Crime, it just seemed a bit all-inclusive.

I think I have this one, is it Jerome Hill?

No: it's Quick & Smart, as you may guess from the filename.

That would be logical... I'm home sick, brain aint functioning as well (jury is out on that still) as it usually does.

Why would anyone play shit music?

I've no idea. they do though don't they

because 1 man's turd is another mans treasure, the is no such thing as "good music" or "shit music" apart from inside your own head, and that's all based around what you like and what you don't like..

your idea of a good track might be my idea of a shit track, and if you really like something, someone else telling you it's shit it just going to make you think that they just don't get it..

so there's really only 2 kinds of music, music you like and music you don't like..

Genres can be usefull as descriptive terms in a record shop situation, but the problem is, some people view their favorite genre in the same terms that they view their favourite football team, and unimaginative producers become all engrossed in one sound convinced that any kind of step out of the remit of the said genre is "selling out" which is kind of playground mentality really, I mean, why limit yourself? you scared that your friends won't like you anymore because, you know, likeing minimal is soooo saaad!!!??? or liking jazz is soo turtleneck??

again, this is the point for me, the first 2 waves of so-called "wonky" artists were influenced by a lot of different stuff, whereas the 3rd wave that came out of germany just seemed to want to copy the first two, which is why the music came out sounding plastic and unfunky to me...

Why would anyone play shit music?

dunno. maybe you should ask Sven or Richie.
