plastikman stuff started earlier than 98,sheet one i think was 92-93.musik was 94.
Yeah I know, but I was too young prior to about 98 to know what it was all about… Think he's been DJing/Producing even longer than that, since about 88 or thereabouts! Minimal is indeed hardly new too (where did I say it was? Don't think I did you'll find!) it's just that he has become famously more minimal as time has gone on (until I stopped bothering to check out any of his stuff a couple of years ago)… Time was Richie Hawtin was God in my eyes, anything he touched turned to gold! But he got boring…
this thread promised so much and delivered so little.
*What is it with miserable old "nothing past 1992 was any good" rose tinted spectacle old buggers like you! Good music gets made every year, whether it was 1989, 2009, or anywhere inbetween, or indeed after or before! They're worse than Bloody Singlespeeders, they're all so elitist that unless they were there, it's not cool and shouldn't be talked about! Gets on my goat…
Cos of my age, I missed a good 8-10 years of quality underground dance music cos I was simply too young to know about it… I know a lot about dance music from 98 onwards (actually, more like about 95-96 onwards) so wrote about that…
All you guys that are like "kids these days, pah, they don't know what real music is or how to party properly"… Yeah, but you miserable old gits don't go out any more! You had your 3 years "back in the day", then put your slippers on, stoked up your pipe, and called it a night! I've been going clubbing for about 12 years or so now, and will bloody well continue to do so for as long as I bloody well can! Times change, music moves on, there's always something good round the corner too! 😉
But it is good fun remembering some of the good old stuff too…
*= Take all this with a BIG pinch of salt!!! 😉
