if only his stuff was available via an official bandcamp page.other than the fabric release there is very little out there for non-vinyl folks.hopefully at some point there will be a nice boxset released, but i suspect the legality and multitude of labels involved will make such a treat impossible.

plague raves make stealing his music more than morally justifiable, build your own bandcamp

From what I’ve read in interviews he doesn’t care for streaming or digital music generally & prefers physical media iirc

spritzcussion is so fucking good

one of the main things i remember about him in the 00s was that he would have special one off test pressings of things made specifically for club use so that doesn't surprise me

something like that anyway
His Taka Taka mix from 2003 is fantastic and the fadutron release he did in 05. Don't mind his fabric mix either but otherwise it's just too druggy for me, but not in the mind blowing acid+meth+skunk psychosis way.

Taka Taka is fantastic. I like the Love Family Trax mix as well but Taka Taka is the better of the two.
I do kinda miss that era of impeccably curated commercially released mix cds - i think Taka Taka and Immer and The Button Down Mind Strikes Back and Friends were all released within about the same12 month window.
Also cheers Tracer for the public service.
Some other good tracks I missed out on above (apart from some mentioned by others) are:

the pre-Alcachofa corpus is such a treasure trove! there's an exhilarating moment half-way through "Damm3" where it mutates into this Phylypsian half-step skank, undergirded by an almost impossibly elastic bass structure ... the way in which he confounds the formal conventions of house music is always so impressive

"subpad" is dangerously next level delirium jacking

I’m annoyed at how expensive all these records are.

"emilio (2nd minimoonstar)" is another 10s highlight—aperiodic burbling buchla squelch that gradually gives way to a strikingly beautiful plaintive melody

The Kiss U remix is awesome, have been playing it again and again.

I love that this two track remix EP is longer than most albums these days.
