i dont know what to think there... a bit too much for my taste,
I feel like it's becoming way to commercial.

as i been saying for some time now.
all this crap SUX, as the music SUX, as everything that surrounds this trade-mark SUX.

Seriously not cool & out of touch - "not in contakt".

Starring...featuring...?

More & more, its less about the music & more about the people or *ego*.

good god people, could it not just be a joke?

adidas producing a theo parrish film is more commercial than this cube thing could ever be, and that still retained its feeling

The only joke I can see is the 30 Euros you hand over to be a "member".

It's like a bad Sci-fi movie

Hawtin holding is hand up like a space cowboy. Come-on man what the fck is this? This is straight up marketing crap. The same marketing crap that killed the hardcore scene here in the Netherlands. If I as an "minimal-artist" gonna be compared to this (because that's gonna happen, if it's gonna be this commercial) I rather pass..

To be honest to better minus market themselves, the longer techno will be popular.

It'll piss a bunch of people off that would rather be underground, but thanks to the popularity of minimal I can now work as a DJ & the longer I can do that the better.

I know that's a selfish opinion but what the hell.

The only problem I have is the focus is being taken away from the individuals. Like, I love Magda but now more & more of her gigs in england will be in a supporting role to Richie Hawtin & I'm sure I'm not th only one that thinks she is superior to him!
