Hi DJT1000,

I know, it?s the old discussion about commercialisation, about underground and overground.... but IMO it?s important to keep these thoughts alive, to evaluate what?s going on!

I will take a look at my archive to see what the press wrote about it. Did you play at a good time? Did you play in the big main hall? Did you get enough press attention? Where you able to express yourself?

Sure, the size and the show is very impressive. Thats very superficial. Well, alright, I am not a RAVER, I have been to two raves with a few thousand people and I realy prefer the small club scene with a good athmo.

Really? How much gigs did you have in europe because of your mayday appearance? How much more records did you sell? (it?s hard to get your releases!) I am really sorry, that you have such a hard time in the US. I don?t know why. Is it because of all the media and the commercial orientation of everything? I know, that those DJ?s that are booked very often in germany like DJ Pierre, Richie Hawtin, John Auquaviva, The Stickman, Jeff Mills, Armando,..
