This is true.
Had a night out on the vodka with a couple of Polish guys from work.
One of them was so hammered he couldn’t walk home and we were too hammered to carry him, so I politely asked a couple of coppers for help.
Turns out I picked out the two most jobsworth knobheads in the local Police Force, who took umbridge with my liberal use of the word fuck and decided that calling in their buddies, kicking the shit out of me and arresting me was a far better option.
All because that lazy little fucker couldn’t walk his drunk arse home.
Actually no one knows what are their real plans. We can only speculate. And as you say time will show where they are going and will split us again on ones linking and disliking new ideas.
Take care and stay safe
If that’s not meant as a joke: this is a completely different Elektron company, whose headquarters seems to be located in Switzerland. And they seem to want to inform their customers that those don’t need to fear any change of accustomed quality just because production is now in Poland. They seem to assume that some of their customers might be troubled by that idea (transferring production to another country).
Btw. Had a short chat with Blake Baxter recently and he sort of convinced me that Detroit was not some kind of common noun/genre but instead a real original local thing and that Detroit techno can only originate from Detroit, not Berlin, Aachen, Cottbus or Döbeln.
Definitely, would be my second one today. Since you’re here once - someone mentioned a mute function - where can I find it and can I mute individual contributors?
Go to their profile, there’s an icon set to “Normal”. Click on it and you can choose to mute them. You can also ignore them, which means you wont see their topics. Not sure about posts.
So much electronic music gear that we interact has connections to Poland.
Grawart in Poland produces the metalwork for many brands, some quite high end (SPL)
I recently purchased a Dtronics (Dutch company) DT-800 programmer, with metalwork and screen print done by Grawart. Very good build quality.
Aside from SPL, Grawart produces chassis/faceplates/cases including stamping and screen printing for:
Dreadbox
Doepfer
WMD
Torso
Soundforce
Audiothingies
Tasty Chips
Cirklon
ALM Busy Circuits
Polyend
MIDICraft
WesAudio
I have to set my concerns aside.
All products produced in Poland get a pass from me, because any country that also gave us Magda gets a pass. “48 hours crack in your bass” still slaps.
I’m actually playing as King Boleslaw II ‘the bold’ of Poland in 847AD at the moment in Crusader Kings 3. Poland is a very stable kingdom. This thread has come at just the right time for me.
To me it means inverted buttons, false labels, sticky buttons…all the good stuff we’ve seen in recent years
I think “Made in Poland” as an aesthetic is one thing (personally couldn’t care less), however has anyone actually had any quality control or build issues with their black OT Mk2s?
In the topic of car manufacturers, ALL German car manufacturers (including Porsche btw because they’ve been singled out here) produce the majority of their car parts and cars OUTSIDE of Germany. As a matter of fact, most of the car parts are not even manufactured inside of those companies (the automotive industry has some of the most complex supply chains in the world). I know all of this first hand, so yeah.
