The thing to keep in mind is that the Submerge philosophy is very much _not_ about hyping individual producers. That's the reason why, for example, nearly half the credited producers on last year's awesome _Interstellar Fugitives_ were new or unknown producers. They're running something that resembles an apprenticeship or mentoring program there: put people with ideas and talent but maybe without the resources to get a ton of gear into a fully equipped studio with some "old hands" and see what comes out. A statement like "UR is Juan Atkins" or "Red Planet is a guy from Drexciya" misses the point so much that it absurd -- the reality at 2030 is much more fluid & flexible. -d.w. not involved, just a fan
