another hawtin interview....

[Smear]

To suggest that he's somehow sold out AFTER Minus Orange, the track where he very very VERY heavily samples a very very well known piece of pop music is a bit ludicrous is it not? I suppose if he jacked it up to 160bpm and started using Wu Tang samples he'd take a bit less flak, yes?

I'm not a that big a fan of his and never really was, but the amount of abuse he gets is unreal. All because in the 90s he pandered to the crowds of a couple of harder techno clubs, hard techno fans think they own him and assume that's what he was born to play. It's actually quite funny, it's like being in the gabba scene again and hearing people talk about Carl Cox, haha.
