What I read into this is that you're able to stomach Bassline for around 2 hours longer than me!
back on topic, who or what are attacca pesante? the jazmine remix is sick.. there's more than one of them, right?
It just strikes me as odd that people are digging for connections between Funky and Jungle, particularly from the "personnel" side. Seems to be a determination to prove it's part of the HCC in order to what... prove it's OK to like it? I'm not sure.
People are waiting for "dark" Funky. But records like Dego's "This Ain't Tom & Jerry" / "Hands Off The Controls" are already out there and are arguably more "nuum" than anything the Funky scene has thrown up so far. Where's the line drawn? What's the real litmus test? The Rinse FM studio?
lol. me and bok bok went to the first and only (afaik) big bassline all nighter in london itself (more empiricism! the horror! hehe), as opposed to the midlands and sheff raves... it was this time last year at the egg.. the first hour was great. the second hour got a bit samey. by midway through the third we were bored. read into that what you will.

interesting to note in this context though that Karizma identifies strongly (and collaborates) with the likes of Simbad (and is one of the most quoted influences on UK guys), that Marcus Nasty is playing Altered Natives, Roska quotes and plays Broken Beat as a key part of his vibe, MA1 plays Greenmoney who are two ex-Bugz... i'm sure there are many more connections and crossovers
i think there's a strong argument to view broken and bruk as ignored and sidelined parts of the 'continuum', which perhaps serve to demonstrate its flaws and insularity even in its pared back 'empirical' form
also interesting... although bear with me and please put me right or add to this bit, i really know very little about it... is something i heard in passing (on here i think?), saying that those guys saw broken as a return to pre-hardcore London music sounds? streetsounds culture or something? Soul II Soul were mentioned... which is also interesting given that Wookie was so heavily involved with Soul II Soul, and that he in many ways pre-empted funky with his 'garage' productions, and is now a highly revered figure in the scene
Bassline is in no way shit! It's great! I doubt Kode9 ever said outright it's shit? (sorry Dan, trying to quote the person you quoted as well and failing...)
I admit being on drugs is a huge advantage and it is a bit samey but it's fun samey just like b-more etc. No more repetitive than 6 hours of 4/4 minimal techno to be fair.
A bassline night started at Herbal but there only seemed to be one.
You can't just defend your argument ' the numm is irrelevant' with the argument 'i go out to clubs.'
A trio I believe, my mate knows one of em, they make a range of stuff. The cd I heard had rnb, hip hop and electro sounding stuff, so their stuff they make is definitely directed at the charts
drifting off topic again... okay who's heard the crazy cousinz 'tee shirt' remix and agrees it's amazing? cc reeeally have a formula don't they.. the opening drum clatter sounds exactly like several of their other remixes, no bad thing though.
i'm being facetious but its not worth creaming over.

That's very interesting, i am pleased to think of broken beat and funky meeting.
no thanks. sophistication overload.
