Achim Szepanski, Founder of Influential Electronic Labels Mille Plateaux and Force Inc., Dies at 67
Briefly

"Szepanski viewed record labels as praxis, demanding rigorous moral and conceptual standards. He believed the concept of innovative techno was too limited for electronic music's potential."
"He described the state of rave as 'Freizeitknast,' a 'pleasure-prison,' reflecting his criticism of the commodification and control factors dominating the techno scene."
