Heh heh, that's exactly what our Sahko Recordings label is like,
except that mentioned basement is situated in Helsinki, not Copenhagen ;)
But seriously, it's nice that people are willing to discuss and spread
information even on that more "obscure shit". At least that has been my
own intention with our own local stuff here in tiny pHinland, though I
must sound like I'm wagging my own tail here. Nothing against AFX, FSOL &
Co. - I try to get most of that stuff in my hands, which can get a bit
heavy to my wallet from time to time :) - but it's also nice to have some
diversity, too, and maybe to open people's eyes and ears to the stuff
they probably wouldn't hear about otherwise. Though I have to admit some
most fanboy/trainspotter-kind of discussion on this list gets on my nerves
sometimes (I don't cast the first rock though ;), as a whole IDM has been
a great teacher for me, and I also try to share with others those little
bits of info I may have myself.
peace y'all,
