I always liked this one from KiNK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJgdX3QaP7A and this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kagn4qMOhd0  haha, funny thing, he didn't appreciate the satire in this and made physical threats to me for sharing this video.  Meanwhile he helped make a name for himself by sampling aphex and autechre, funny guy, bit of a DC if you ask me, but eh, whatever. He recently did a remix of a vibert track, I told him "eh, come on man, don't fuck with perfection, can't you write your own music?" that didn't sit well with his ego, haha Don't want to get anyone's back up, I'm sure there are a lot of KiNK fans on this list, but I don't think his music is creative, all I hear is him ripping off other people's work and using standard "tricks" in his stuff while trying to make out like he is innovating, but in reality there's nothing new or exciting about what he does.  (Just my opinion of course) On 8/09/2017 3:56 AM, Laurent Knauth wrote:
