I've thought about this relationship alot. to what extent is the hardcore continuum a uk thing. obviously london, as the hub of the black atlantic has been it's base, but when the music transcends geography does it stop being part of it. i'm interesting in this idea particularly related to dubstep.
i dont know really, i guess it depends what our goal is in discerning a continuum... if its purely for documentation then i dont see why one should restrict it to particular geographical areas. a good example is when techno crossed the atlantic to berlin with maurizio and basic channel. purely for documentary, there is no reason to remove this evolution of techno on this side of the atlantic from its detroit roots
