It was about Freak - and that's not that long ago, mind you. Dan Bell comes across as a very serious guy, and while it can seem silly in moments like this - I mean, even if wink copied the ideas, how are you ever gonna prove it? - it's probably also his greatest strength. He has always stuck to his own agenda, developing his own trademark style that today shows to be absolutely timeless. There are only a few producers who can compete with that - maurizio, carl craig, with exceptions hawtin, juan atkins.carbon_copy wrote:I thought it was about Josh Winks track Freak, which sounded a lot like Live Wire, while biting the vocal of Phreak. Doesn't matter either way, you're right, awfully silly.Doctor T wrote:It was a dispute over Josh Wink's (winx) track "don't laugh", although I don't think he actually sued him over it. If I remember correctly, Dan was pissed because he felt that the vocal manipulations in Don't Laugh were biting his style from "loosing control". He sent a nasty letter to his fans bitching about it, but I don't remember hearing anything about a lawsuit.minimal house wrote:You know what, i heard Dan Bell actually sued someone in the 90's for a track that closely resembled one of his.
the whole incident seems rather silly.
In fact: instead of naming favourites, name one Dan Bell tune (or remix) that is of inferior quality!
I cannot ...
