"Basic Channel was like a concerted, slightly self conscious effort to move the sound in a certain direction by a big producer, like what Mills/Hood were doing. Mauritzio had made and engineered loads of techno records prior to doing BC. It took a while for the BC influence to percolate into techno - initially it was more deep house people who were creaming over thier tracks - but from 96 on you got loads of weak BC ripoffs coming through. Again, software synths and computer recording opened the floodgates (it's difficult to get the BC sound using just hardware). It kind of meshed with the glitch-house thing - lots of men in thick glasses making dance music you can't really dance to. Funny cos BC at thier best are very warm and organic, and the original BC tracks absolutely rock on a big system - Mauritzio is a legendary engineer, whatever you think of his production aesthetic."
Carl Craig had some link up in the early days of BC. At the time I was told the Q1.1 record was the slight yank, and he remixed domina (killer record). Oh and i forgot the Quadrant record (i think on planet E(?) but very much on the BC tip)
