D.A.V.E the Drummer's announcement

[eppertheleper]

i don't know how people expect a certain bpm or style from one artist or label.

isn't that bit limited and constrained?

Yes, but it also allows you to pretty much pick up anything a certain label does and know you're going to like it. There are pros and cons. Same thing for artists. I'm not sure Adam Beyer would have booked as much work as he has in the last four years if he didn't switch to minimal, but the last time I got excited about one of his sets was probably 2007. You win some, you lose some.

but all good labels should grow with the artist. and 130 is pretty easy to get up close to 145, especially in this digital age where we're not constrained by the +/- 8% pitch of technics.
