i think youre wrong. shouldnt it just come down to personal preference? I dont 'get' ricardo's latest stuff or his dj sets but i dont think im in the wrong subgenre. its just that i happen to like a different kind of minimal sound. different strokes for different folks....

I've just read that HF interview.
I don't like his vision on "organic" sound.
It is very limited vision.
Why all good stuff has to be "organic" and "acoustic"?
Then Kraftwerk is a sh!t??
JPLS is just another newest crap?
what's Raster-Noton then? Definitely they're not from south america, so they just can't understand what is music about??

He's extremely successful yet he's not David Guetta.
so I can imagine that he has definitely something.
But I'm afriad about a big star like him talkin' in that way,
"oh, sound design is over, dance is organic music...etc."

I prefer that he says he's style is organic, warm sound and he does it very good.

8 pages of comments and love letters...I see that he's huge influence here.
But Richie Hawtin does even more, however I never saw him imposing his point of view in an interview... (though i was bitchin' a lot on him and m-nus in this forum..hehe

)

true.

Richie is a far more 'talented' artist and dj.

No disrespect to Villa but Richie's in another league altogether.

Richie Hawtin
Jeff Mills
Dave Clarke
Derrick May
Surgeon

that's my top 5 fav dj's right now.

the nice thing about opinions is - everybody's got one.

The nice thing about that expression is - it works for both.
