Fan mail

Today I received a very nice fan mail:

Many progressive artists that i used to like (XYZ for example who was my idol) started to play and produce bad minimal or some kind of tech-house music that ruined them and their reputation. Great example of XYZ’s old style is remix of XYZ’s ABCDEF which is stunning, and now i don’t even bother to go on Beatport and check him out.

What i wanted to say is that i admire you how you’re keeping your original style all the time and have no fear of playing a track which was played many times before (for ex. Robert Babicz - Dark Flower (Joris Voorn Magnolia Remix) in LW 31), because a great track is a great track no matter how old it is… I hope you understand what i wanted to say….

My friend, I understand very good. Thank you.

Aril Brikha accuses Shlomi Aber of copying his track

groove la chord being copied..? - Aril Brikha MySpace Blog

it has come to my attention that groove la chord on “the art of vengeance ep”…my first big, and maybe the most important release in my career has been copied by israeli artist shlomi aber.

after receiving an email from a listener who had noticed a certain similarity to my track and his track “efrat”, i went to check this guy out on Beatport and was surprised of the similarity, allthough the quality on Beatport leaves a lot to wish for.

after checking his myspace page out, and finding out he is a “friend” of mine and then listening to the track, i cant come to another conclusion that my original track, not only was being an inspiration to his track, but also most likely sampled.

I did not listen to both versions, because I don’t care. I only ask to consider: Of course, it’s not okay IF it’s the case. But I would not behave that way, also not for somewhat more press attention.

Shlomi is a great artist, I love his work.

L2 PODIO #130

What a ’round number’! LIGHTWORKS 30 and PODIO #130. With this month’s LIGHTWORKS we didn’t only break ONE record, no, we broke TWO (as far as I’m not wrong):

• Record #1: 2067 listeners⁽¹⁾
• Record #2: The biggest thread on the friskyForum board on a show ever?⁽²⁾

This show was the greatest fun ever, not only because of those (really not too important) records above, but because of YOU - the fans and the feedback (the artist’s ‘bread’) - and the awesome DJ’s I welcomed as my guests on the show.

So, I’m proud and happy to present you the show on the PODIO now! I know you’ve been waiting for this:

• LIGHTWORKS 30 | Vogelmann | Part 1
• LIGHTWORKS 30 | Durango | Part 2
• LIGHTWORKS 30 | Addliss | Part 3
• LIGHTWORKS 30 | Josh Abrams | Part 4

Have fun, CU next month!

1. Personal LIGHTWORKS record which is pretty 100% sure. Well, it’s not the friskyRadio alltime record, but it’s only July 2008 now … (back)
2. I’m really not sure, Faisal, please help me on this one … (back)
