Just wanted to get the word out that eevo lute is an excellent label and
is very inspiring to me as a guy sort of forming his own label. I just
wish I could have gotten some of the early stuff from you, max 404, d.
caron and others. I think that you guys could have 'cashed in' on the
'electronic listening music' long before warp, but I respect your
'underground' attitude. Some people think its easy to start a label in
the underground, and while there aren't so many stringent guidelines and
red tape, you still have to remember that your stuff better be something
special or you don't eat, or buy new (or old) gear! I haven't heard too
much on IDM lately about eevo lute until (steffan) wrote about Derrick
May & Transmat stuff, but you guys are definitely underappreciated in my
book...
The thing about me and my label is that I have to learn (or unlearn) the
american way of forming a label. I have seen a lot of sm. labels in SF &
Detroit rise & fall, and notice that some labels follow current genres &
trends and never 'invent' or 'reinvent' themselves once they have one
good top-selling release. My premise is that I make what I want, when I
want, whether it goes against all rules & regulations of a particular
genre, & not give a fuck if people buy it or not. I'd be selling myself
short if I had to worry whether or not my tracks are considered
'intelligent' by the throttlers of the music, whether my music sells, and to
decide what to do next based on record sales. If Black Dog
Productions isn't a prime example of that, I challenge anyone to tell me
who is...
Just thought I'd pass that along...
Keep pushing the limits
