 | RA Review It's probably not worth assigning some sort of meaning to Josh Wink shaving his head. But let's do it anyway: Wink's recently tailored look has coincided with a run of amazing production work. Last year's 'Thick as Thieves' and 'Swirl' were both solid releases that reflected Wink back on his game. A..

| #6 / Tue, 20 May 08 14:10 Really nice stuff from Mr. Wink. I heard so many people talking about this at the WMC. Heard Anja Schneider use it in a couple of her online mixes along with Sebo k, Pete Tong, Todd Terry and Dubfire charts. Can't wait to get this! When is it coming out on vinyl? Glad Josh is keeping his sound fresh and getting back to his house roots! Sounds very fresh and inspiring! Jacking track for the summer!

| #11 / Wed, 21 May 08 09:38 of course I would beg to differ - didn;t think much of this release. wink is a better dj than producer...

| #12 / Wed, 21 May 08 10:24 Yes and the reason I'm his PR is because i love his music, richard. I'm not paid to big up on forums, I'm paid to do pr.. which im making pretty obvious i think; I'm not over hyping it on here, just giving people some info they may want to know... merci.

| #14 / Wed, 21 May 08 14:28 so you're only giving info? but surely that's what a PR person does as well as bigging stuff up? You're using this thread to promote his new album...maybe you don;t get paid specficially to bigg up his stuff on forums, but online promotion, especially the indirect, 'oh here's some info about his new album' direction is part of any PR person's marketing approach. I take it Josh is paying you - I doubt you love his music that much that you're doing it for free. I think you should really should have said you were his PR person at the start of this thread - the fact that you didn;t just shows that you were trying to do your job in a stealthy manner...

| #15 / Wed, 21 May 08 14:40 Richard, despite Kim being Josh's PR, I found the information provided useful.
I'd also like to point out that her comments did not detract from the original intent of the post... unlike yours.

so what you're really saying is that I shouldn't consider a career in PR? Joking aside, should she not have issued a small disclaimer, something along the lines of 'I'm blah blah..' Nothing against KIm, but I find the creeping invasion of PRs onto forums and so on especially insidious...

I personally don't think a disclaimer is necessary. Do you think her telling people that she was the PR for Josh change peoples opinions on what she actually said?
I understand where you're coming from with regards to not knowing peoples motives for posting comments in forums, but I really think Kims comments were helpful to readers and that maybe your comments were slightly harsh towards her in the context of this post.
Oh and thanks to Kim for posting when the track is going to be released. Is this a digital only release?
Gary...

I think she should have posted a disclaimer that she does PR for him. She's not the only one who does it, but I think PRs should put a disclaimer on posts like that - otherwise it looks a bit underhand.

| #19 / Wed, 21 May 08 19:55 Great record, nice to hear Josh turning out some deeper stuff (Range of Motion rmx is still his best work IMO)
As far as all this disclaimer rubbish goes - give me a break. She's just giving out a release date, not pretending to be Luciano bigging it up.
Take no notice Kim - thanks for the release date!

| #20 / Wed, 21 May 08 20:51 thanks guys, digital this week and vinyl is june 2nd.

KIm, I just don't like one of the releases you're PRing: that doesn't mean I'm narky, just that I don't dig the music you're PRing. Get over it - not everyone can gush positive prose about the same topic. get over it.

no, I'd hate it beause a) it's in Miami b) it's full of people who are paid to big up crap music c) it's full of people who play crap music

it's more to do with when I said that I didn't think it was a great release that she jumped in and started accusing me of being overly-negative. i'm not, I just didn't like the single - at this stage no one knew that she is paid to be positive about josh wink's work, so i thought i should point out that she had vested interests...so that's my logic...

If her comments brought you to the track and you either liked it or didn't like it, does finding out that she is PR change your opinion of the track? Who gives a shit where the message is coming from? She didn't force anyone to purchase anything, she wasn't responsible for any kind of fraud.
