In defence of richie, i saw him at the Warehouse Project in Manchester and it was a great party. It wasn’t a contakt event however which maybe the reason it was so good! Definitely time he focused on some production.

What’s especially interesting about the “o superman” remixes is that it had already been done, and pretty well I think:

That attempt features a shuffled deep bass line that seriously moves butts.

I haven’t seen Richie play live since 1994. I prefer to remember him that way. I’ll still buy his mix CDs because what he does is just so innovative, but I have no desire to go beyond that.

More than anything, I’d just like to see him RECORD something. I mean, dude was on the cover of the freaking WIRE a few months back and he hasn’t even had a record out in how long now?!?

Richie needs a good shave (head and beard) and a good kick in the ass. If the guy played a few old school sets he would regain it all in a minute…

I know its going backwards but how good would it be to see that side again???

Kontakt in London also sucked. The music was rubbish, the concept was rubbish. For me, this was the final nail in Minus’s coffin. Richie really needs to go back to basics, I suppose that he has had a taste of the big time now and doesn’t want to go back…

“i still don’t know what’s the deal with 32min songs. it’s like a joke.”

Beatport shuttered its affiliate program? Well, that explains the weird email (and stony silence) I received a few weeks ago.

Why does Beatport continue to dominate? It’s a terrible feeling to regularly give money to such a thoughtlessly designed & operated outlet – any recommendations for alternatives?

My current favorite is OtherMusic.com, but their techno selection is a bit small, albeit highly curated.

Perlon is indeed a wonderful label, but they certainly aren’t averse to making money. Whether this was done to maximize sales or it was just a total botch-job, the consumer still wound up getting screwed in the end.

Perhaps deceive is too strong a word, but I think the way “Vasco” was released was a calculated and self-aware move on the part of Perlon that likely had intentions of moving more units.
