Fair enough that you have your opion on our label however I have to respond here. Yes, there is a common thread in alot of what we release, but in all fairness line up DJ Vadim, Amon Tobin, DJ Food/Coldcut, Funki Porcini, The Herbaliser, Up Bustle and Out, Kid Koala, etc... and you have a lot of very diverse styles of tunes. Someone please kill us when it all sounds the same. On the American tour tip...Stealth part 3 starts at the start of June for a 3 week jaunt around America and Canada. Manning the decks are Funki Porcini, Amon Tobin, Ollie Teeba (The Herbaliser), and Stevie & Task. I'll post the dates there all confirmed (and I promise that we won't have to cancel this one) The North American Ninja Massive

Some members of your stable sound more alike than others - the DJ Food, Herbaliser, UB&O, and 9L9 all kinda run together for me...which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I dunno, seems like th production styles & working methods are pretty similar. Funky Porcini just seems a bit more whack (in a cool way). Definitely looking forward to the Amon Tobin (I love Cujo) BTW, will Amon Tobin be coming out US domestic? Che
