erm... Spymania the label which first released Squarepusher...Hello? spys 01 - 04 influenced all the lesser known artists mentioned above a great deal and show infinitely more originality than witchman, david kristian and anything after plug 2. The integrity of the label is further reinforced by their Fifth release 'D.I.A.L. - the pause that refreshes', they could have kept peddling the same beats as everyone above but chose to take a new direction... apart from Downpour, i dont see anyone in this list who is actually doing anything particularly new... but thats not the point is it... your writing an article arent you.... sorry ill stop ranting now. k.F
