Mad Mike Banks, James Stinson, and Rephlex Records-Youtube

Interesting clip of Mad Mike Banks, talking about James Stinson, the relationship with Rephlex Records and folklore about ED DMX.  Worth watching the whole thing though, it's mint.  Skip to 1.23.03 for the Rephlex and Drexciya info.

Thx! First time seeing and hearing Mad Mike talk. Interesting interview. Bit of Tresor history as well.

Took me a while to figure out that that bald is an interviewer. He sucks big time. Got this raceist vibe from him, he asks all this kind of stupid ass questons from Mad Mike like "but can u talk about it relaly like you were a session musician but you have signed NDA you cant talk about it so why are you talking about it please dont talk about it this is Ger Man" when Mad Mike tells the story about a fat lady singing first on the session and then a fit ness lady trying to mimic the fat lady singing.

And the blad guy asks all these stupid fukn questons like "yeah.............(tons of .s)  I heard this story about DX7 and a church... mad mike...what u done" and Mad Mike sayes or more like whispers like "I don't want to talk about it man" and why would the bald guy even say that ? Like give the impresson like as if Mad Mike stole a DX7 from da church I mean that is a talk sesson with frends and that bald guy jjust assumpts all kinda racist thinks like yea stolen gear and talking things you are forbiddn to talk about and in the end Mad Mike is getten really Mad and like he don't even look at the intervieweee (guy) he just answers and or like doesn't even answer, just hold the mike (microphone) on his hand with his hand on his lap and lets the Tresor gurl (woman) answer instead and jus embareassing thing the whole thing like omg fukken red BULL (raceist) music can you PLEASE get GOOD INTERVIEWERS 

Btw didn't know Rob Hood (a preachaer from Detroid) was a rapper lol

man, I haven't watched / listened to a RBMA in ages - binged watched them years ago to kill time at my old job

bald guy used to not have a beard, hes been around ages there -  I feel like RBMA has always had some hit or miss interviewers even in the sessions that end up being excellent. he's the same guy who did the interview with Voight (Gas) years ago and he's stiff but decent - in that case I think it helped that he was speaking with another German so they could convey certain word without issue. another time he interviewed Derrick May and there were some awkward AF moments.

Interesting story: I had no idea Ed DMX was the connection between Drexciya and Rephlex
