>Speaking of minimal, have Cari Lekebusch and Adam Beyer lost >something. Cari Lekebusch was the putting out some great releases last >year! For a while I was buying everything that he released, but the >last five or so releases I thought have been pretty blah or just ok.=20 >He was a really good as a dj, when I saw him a few months ago! > lekebusch peaked in quality with his early hybrid years IMHO, nowadays = it's just boring sad drumcodeish stuff with a few exceptions, like the = somewhat dubby 'stealin music'-album released under the name mr. james = barth, but that one didn't stick on me either.. so, duh, i'd say he used = to be more interesting.. hybrid used to be rockin minimal: danijel = alpha, alexi delano (who these days produces boring stuff too, IMHO), = jean-louis huhta, crushed insect & sick puppy, ron maney, akilah bryant. = stopped releasing good music about a year ago when the abstract soul = (jana clemen) album and the 'sons & daughters of the rising' 4x12" = collection came out.. sons & daughters freaked out a bit mixing all = kinds of styles like d'n'b (never ever even released on hybrid before), = hiphop and such.. guess that was what triggered it. after that he = changed cat. nr. and the newer releases all sounded like drumcode.. = bleah -bauri .
