As of this July, when the Feel (I saw) remix from Acid Dropping hit #8 on the Soundclick Electronic Overall chart, it proved something crucial: Aughts Philadelphia sells in the world. It had, also, a few ways of proving this: Zenboy1955's brilliant fusion of jazz and electronic music employed Feel (specifically, the Eris Temple '06 recording of Feel, just as Speck employed the Eris Temple recording of Opera Bufa) organically, in the sense that CC Mixter were not bought out by anyone to use the Fieled poetry. CC Mixter chose to use us, and it's hard not to take that as an ensign that Aughts Philly appeals to, and is creatively stimulating to, a wide number of artists (CC Mixter=Cali). Then there's the chart ranking itself, which takes and transcendentalizes the Feel (I saw) remix as something which, including us in a collaborative context, works in the world as a commodity or commercial entity. The last level is about the Zeitgeist, both of the 20s and Aughts, and as a beacon showing any potential audience the possible way. The 20s is proving to be fertile ground for the Aughts to develop in. That's where the spiel ends, though, because I still don't know why. I'll be excited to find out.
