Soundstream and Soundhack are both distributed by Hardwax, so i'd reckon 
they know their eggs on that one.

the Soundhacks are kinda like how you might imagine raw distilled minimal 
funk to sound, if you're like me and you daydream away the hours wondering 
about stuff like that... ahem.  there are also 2 12"s by Erik and Fiedel on 
a label called MMM which are on a kinda similar hard funky tip, but feature 
the samples much much more prominently (James Brown anyone?!?!?).

i wonder if it's a coincidence that all 5 (2 Soundhack, 1 Soundstream, 2 
MMM) come thru Hardwax, have minimal DIY style labels, and have plain white 
paper jackets rather then cardboard sleeves... hmmm.
