I recently found out from a mate that Dj / Producer Chris Mc Cormack has put away his turntable's for good!!
I self admittedly wouldn't be Chris's biggest fan however I find this type of new's worrying and stressing at the same time :doh: , I understand his reasons for retiring are that the money just wasn'y there. His last release (Redesigned on Electrix record's) and regarded by most including myself was his best, which is a shame as I felt that for me anyway he may start to come really good, I can only say that this type of new's is sad!!!

Show the lad some admiration and post new's about him!!! and who know's maybe he'll be back some day - Davin :toast:

I reckon we kidnapp the ****er, lock him in a studio, and don`t feed the bastard till he makes a tune.
Then we can just make him produce for his sustenance.

Yeah, seemed to me the guy always did his own thing, so to know he's still out there doing it is good enough for me.

His last release (Redesigned on Electrix record's) and regarded by most including myself was his best,

"Redesigned" is a killer record, and amongst his best for sure. I remember someone ridiculing it here when it came out, and banging on about he and his friends had laughed at how bad it was, and I couldn't understand why? I've heard few better electro records over the last 5 years to be honest.

he sneaks on here from time to time to see what's new, but i think he's genuinely put his interests elsewhere...

It would be good to see him do something again, but I think it's safe to say that he's moved on.

His spirit for techno was broken, and for someone that was so passionate about contributing to it in the first place, I think it would now take something out of the ordinary for him to regain his interest in releasing records again.

Personally I think the electronica he was doing was top notch, and an avenue that he could have explored more and gained widespread credit for, had he hooked up with the right label.
