WHO IS REX THE DOG? (ideas, NOW)

I should've stuck with my assumption (see the Kompakt thread for more mislabelling woes).

I love her/him/them.

Which made me think - is Rex the Dog named after Inspector Rex? You know, that laughable Austrian detective drama starring a crime fighting dog? I'm sure that show is a huge export from Europe, and for most English speaking people is the only experience of Germanic television. There's actually been a few running jokes with my friends about Kommisar Rex, while German/Austrian mates remain horrified that it's actually broadcast here in Australia.

Again, this makes me think it's kind of a pisstake - not the music, so much as how it's presented as a 'Kompakt' release.

The English is obviously a pisstake...

However I'm also hearing a lot of Kohncke in that Client remix, weirdly.

"Depeche Mode: Photographic

The song Photographic is from Depeche Mode's first album Speak And Spell which was first released in 1981 when we were children."

Mark Moore wasn't a child in '81 ergo can't be him. It has to be somebody in their late 20s/early 30s...

(Note to self: stop being lame)

At first i thought - woah cool, i'm gonna look for one of these on the internet.

but after searching everywhere and not turning anything up, maybe i saw Rex the dog?!?!

either way it was a cool shirt.

Or that Vladislav Delay was actually called Sasu Ripatti? That Afrika Bambaataa is really Kevin Donovan? We want passport and fingerprints, preferably.

It's dumb, but made me laugh :p

There's also a mini-mix by Rex, containing:

Mel & Kim 'Showing Out' (Supreme)
Bangkok Impact 'Masters of the Universe' (Crème Organization)
S'Express 'Theme From S'Express' (Rhythm King)
Prodigy 'Girls' (XL Recordings)
Ellen Allien 'Trashscapes (Anthony Rother Remix)' (BPitch Control)
DJ Koze 'Brutalga Square' (Kompakt)
Mel & Kim 'Respectable' (Supreme)

Enjoy.

S Express was actually Mike Morris - he also presented the football results on TVAM during those heady late 80s days

"For the second time I fell asleep before [Michael Mayer] started to play. We are nearly expecting to be expelled from KOMPAKT. With the music we make we skate on difficult ice anyway. "

sorry if this is already here but do yuo think I have time to ready every message here?

D.

he has it on the authority of his heart, which is all that matters.

yeah, but think about it.

they wouldnt let a guy with 2 small releases and a knife remix under his belt do a Depeche Mode remix and a prodigy ( on their make or break release) remix if it was some nobody.

so its got to be a well known ( in the industry ) person.

or at least a studio enginner that people know well..

and check out the rob da bank quote earlier.

but hey whadda I know

can anyone translate this ? it looks like it's daniel milller!

or maybe not, german was never my thing...

eek!
