Satans Little Helper Posted November 2, 2024 Report Share Posted November 2, 2024 This was news to me. It's an old interview though. https://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/lectures/jeff-mills-lecture Quote We kind of constructed our own way of how we work, and how we do things, and so that was the beginning. Neither of us had much experience in running a label, that was more like a trial and error. So we lost a lot of money in the early part of it, we got a lot of interesting phone calls from a lot of interesting people. I still remember today and... Yeah, at one point Aphex Twin has sent us a tape, and it was at the first Analogue Bubblebath and we passed on it. [laughs] So, you know, things like that. I assume he's talking about Underground Resistance. But it could be Axis.

Planet E, Plus 8, Fragile/Transmat, Metroplex. R&S would also be a big one. (Not detroit of course) There is a link between warp and plus 8 (fuse, speedy j). And Kenny Larkin had something on Warp. But typical warp artists rejected, dunno. Would love to hear more stories. I would be surprised if there aren’t more examples like this. Curiously he said they rejected tracks which eventually became analogue bubblebath. Rdj had this specific set of tracks in mind for a release ? edit: o, and Drexciya has an interesting link between underground resistance, rephlex and warp!
