I think they picked up Breakin' because of Ed DMX.  They picked up Rephlex
because of RDJ.  They picked up Skam because of Autechre.  Think about it.

Probably, Musik Aus Strom, because of the connection by Freeform, but I
doubt it because of that.  It still is a pretty popular label though, which
I suspect would possibly be next if any label would.

I'm just listening to the freeform Blue album 13.  OK, you all can hate me
now.  Oh and by the way, the While ep on MAS, top stuff!  Every track is
really good.
