The last few tracks he's released, like the remix of klute's 'silent
weapons', have been absolutely minimal.  

On the same tip is Polar (aka K on Audio Couture) from Norway, check out
out his debut LP on Cert 18.

As for what rupert's been up to...I heard a nasty little rumor a few
months ago that he's stopped making music and got a 'regular' job.  The
source was some one who I don't think would lie, but I'm still not
willing to believe it.  :-)

At the hardware night in london a few weeks ago, Bailey opened his set
with a sick photek track that I assume was new since I'd never heard it
before. 

So maybe there is hope!

The thing that struck me as funny (or sad?) was the track completely
threw the crowd for a loop and everyone stopped dancing and started
looking confused.

It just goes to show that the punters couldn't handle something that
didn't have a distored & low pass filtered b-line, whiplash snares and a
shaker gone mad...

I was loving every bit of it.
