Agree. That secret is a real disappointment. But since it isn't a secret anymore anyway he coudl stop pretending to be someone cool and mysterious and let the music speak for him. I guess this stupid mask is just there to make him more Detroit...

yeah, the stuff under his regular name never made it into my collection. It's almost hard to believe its the same guy since the overall quality of music and production seems like light years in difference. It's almost like somebody taught him the secret to techno or something just clicked inside his head one day. Also, it's smart for him to keep the mask on because it's a great marketing technique.

My favorite to date is 2084.

it's his own choice to use this mask, why shouldn't we respect it?

Because there's a really really REALLY stupid commercial rapper in Berlin doing the same trick which makes this to me always look completely ridiculous. But maybe that's just my perspective.

But basically, yeah, it's just marketing trick. So when he thinks he music needs this, well, hope he's sweating happily behind that thing. :wink:

I've heard and liked his tunes before I knew that he's wearing a mask, so... ;)

but you're right, he could be taken for some kind of Techno-Sido :roll: :lol:

I really like some of his tracks, my favorite tune at the moment would probably be Steam. :)
