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
