think the biggest problem is that people are just reading too much about dj's and artists etc, trying to push them into the same boxes as pop stars and to a certain level that also creates journalism that's rather aimed at getting "a story" or causing the need for people like Seth to "act".

I don't download any sets from famous dj's and don't read any interviews and it serves me well, helps keep an open mind and not fall into the "must-follow-that-label-must-see-that-dj-must-live-in-berlin" behavior. People really seem to be more into the "side effects" than in the actual music these days, which also makes it all so uninteresting. Everyone moves to Berlin because it seems like the thing to do, but I have infinitely more respect for a guy who just tries to build up something in his own hometown. These people take the music and a scene way further than a hundred of others who just crawl together in the obvious place. There's life outside of Berlin you know.

(apparently berlin is on a slow decline and london is becoming the new hot spot?)

+1, but

I remember interviewing him about 2 years ago & he said - c'mon we're popstars in the techno world! so he tries to be one, of course he doesn't give a fck about what we say & if it works, cause it's important that we at least speak about him. Malcolm McLaren rule - so simple, what of course has nothing to do with the fact that he's a talented musician on his way up and at the same time doesn't change the fact that I was never able to watch slices issue with him to the end.

low budget comedy with a cheap screenplay - same goes for this one.

same here man, listening to other artists blocks my creativity...
i do have my heroes, but i think they're more subtile artists who stay true to their thing and don't make things that are made for a certain hype...
i make what i like to play, what i like to play is not what a big audience wants to hear but what makes me feel good and groovy...
