this is mad nice. love that rip rip. they don`t release this kind of stuff on vinyl do they?
Rumor is that the DFA-team does a lot if not most of the work behind the David Holmes-scenes though...
Willski, I heard that one too, especially about "Bow Down To the Exit Sign." I'm guessing there's probably some truth to it, but it doesn't concern me too much. First of all, the music speaks for itself, and I care more about the quality of the output than who did what. Second, DH has admitted that his role in the studio is more as a director than a musician. He basicly lets players and engineers do their thing, and kind of has the overall say so of what direction the thing is going.
His stuff is mad consistent, and even if it is the behind the scenes folks who make his shit sparkle, I ain't mad at that.
I met David Holmes when I was a young DJ agent in Bristol UK when he DJ'd at the Thekla. Holmes is from Belfast, and he used to be a moderately successful techno DJ during the height of the UK dance music scene in the early 90's. He's released several albums, all of them good, containing a mixture of his own tracks and selected tracks from other artists, most of which have the hallmark Holmes 'tweaks'.
Heres his website:
