total props to UMEK, i mean that early absense stuff really REALLY did the bizz back in the day. MUMPS, his communique double, and the early consumer recreation all really tore the roof off the floor when ya played it. i remember playing in serbia at industria, sticking one of those on and i don't think to this day i've ever seen a crowd go that nuts. mind you, UMEK really is a hero in those parts.

i actually like that electro house thing.. i've always checked out his slower stuff purly out of interest, and even though you'd find it impossible to fit in on a 2am saturday techno floor, it really does have some great production elements that make you sit up and think 'i wonder how he did that'. as a producer, you find yourself drawn to stuff like that, as it helps you think about how music is put together no matter what it is, which improves your art i suppose.

oh well good luck to him i say. and thanks for the memories :)
