I was thinking about this after reading an article in the Guardian about moves to control ketamine in the UK.. along with a lot of other rubbish about kids been dopey midweek at school after doing k at the weekends, there was this quote from someone:
"It seems to fit in with the slow dubby music that is popular at the moment. At a lot of venues it has overtaken ecstasy in terms of the number of people doing it."
Does anyone think there's any truth to that? To me, quite a bit of dubstep has a sonic quality that reminds one of the ketamine experience...
More generally, has ketamine influenced musical styles before? I know it's popular among the techno/squat scene, but doesnt seem to have much input to that sound - although I wouldn't know, as it's not a genre of music I know anything about.
