two of them, actually. who has heard this monument of minimal?
Going by the tracklisting he certainly rates this Jay Haze fellow.
Fuckpony too, whoever they are...
not that it’s a problem for Jeff Mills but... I haven’t heard this.
I miss random googlers and real ILX :‘(
I have it but have only listened a little...am interviewing him this afternoon...
ask him what he thinks of michael mayer!
is it true they have beef? i just read on his myspace some comment praising him for speaking out against the cologne minimal mafia...
apparently mayer asked a kompakt-distributed label to stop releasing hazes stuff and told haze to get a job instead of trying to live off making music. which ticked haze off quite a bit.
jesus...that is weird...i mean there are definitely some labels that are just poles apart, eg kompakt/tuning spork, but that’s quite funny. “get a job”
wow...fascinating interview....lots of interesting stuff...
“apparently mayer asked a kompakt-distributed label to stop releasing hazes stuff and told haze to get a job instead of trying to live off making music”
why?
i think it had something to do with quality control?
i figured it had something to do with michael mayer’s gargantuan ego
hey Ronan, what interview?
am interviewing him this afternoon...

Aside from maybe the few that have high-up positions in Kompakt, I really wonder how many of them have ‘jobs’rather than live off music.
yeah seems an odd criticism....anyway I didn’t bring this up in the interview, which is for flavorpill, that’s not to say it wasn’t mentioned though!
I have the Jay Haze double mix but I haven’t listened to it that much actually—it’s more minimal than it is housey and I prefer the Haze style at its housier end. I’ve listened to the Tuning Spork download sets a lot more.
this is great fun and quite housey i think, at least disc 1 is. “soul in a bottle” is the sickness.
ok so disc 2 is the shit, v. housey and upfront with it, lot’s of vocals, wide open hi hats and chunky thug drums. get’s more minimal as it goes on but maintains its funkiness. i like.
