trust me, john graham isn't proud of this type of music... otherwise he'd be doing it fulltime, and earning lots more money.
he essentially whored out his name. the production is nothing a ton of no-namers could have come up with, for a lot less pay. (genre limitation, not his own)
so he has been paid for this PR boost for blackhole, and they teamed him up with some wannabe pop star vocalist.
a lot of artists give out tracks to their fans for free, out of love - essentially working pro bono - this was not one of them.
this is a stain.
no disrespect to quivver, as he has definitely earned his stripes, and i don't know his reasons. but as a fan, this is disappointing.

Nobody knows, or cares, who Quivver is at this point.

Rubez, you're alright, but these constant threads ain't cool. Quivver isn't either.

I saw him live this past january and he played awful 2009ish tech house. Just brutal.

Quivver is such garbage now. Bar the odd track/remix on Bedrock or Microcastle (who knows if he even makes tracks for them anymore), his output is just painfully bad, as are his DJ sets.

I find this kind of attitude very disturbing. It's hurting dance music in general. I like to think of it more as "what have you done for me lately" and in Quivver's case it's fuck all.

I wouldn't say that is a fair assessment. Do you know exactly whats going on in his mind? I would definitely say he missed the mark on this track cheese or not, maybe next time...

I find it pretty disturbing you take one of the biggest trolls TA has ever had seriously after so long. DJ-wise Quivver has been really shit for years and years now.

it's not hurting jack squat. he's been in the game for 20+ years and he's produced stuff from drum n bass to progressive house to breaks etc. what more is he supposed to fucking do?

IDK I don't tend to stay current on who's a troll and who isn't and what people's reputation on TA is. Isn't it Mattinsanity? I think we already established that he is not a troll, he's just kind of plain dumb.
