Born and raised yo.

Fully aware that London's going in a terrible direction - more broadly with the lack of anywhere to live and everything costing way too fucking much and specifically with clubs and licensing and all the terrible young people moving in from the nice parts of Manchester. But there's nothing like living in a city with 3 times the population of London and a night life about 5% the size + with no/overly expensive drugs to make you realise how insanely good you guyz have it

"more boozy than druggy": maybe part of why I like it a lot?

the funky/champagne connection is as strong as any music/drug relationship there's ever been. bubbly bubbly, so damn bubbly

champagne seemed to be "drug" of choice for UKG during that speed->2 step transitional period '97'98 too

It's funny, because I've been thinking the exact opposite about the this music, that it brings overtly druggy elements back into the continuum. Certainly a lot of the afterparties I was going to two of three years ago were highly drug fuelled, and the audiences and music being played were directly related to the more 'concrete' scene that exists know.

Simply an observation of drug use, still relevant. I give up here now.

Ilm posters can make a mean word salad but interrupt their blue skies thinking with actual facts and they're quick to close ranks

I think that's reflected in the amount of DJs and producers who have passed thru the dissensus school (as opposed to journalists/critics)
Even if once they've made a name for themselves they stop posting! Cover those tracks lads lol!

people who like music vs people who like themselves

Such observations are probably coloured by experiences here or elsewhere, but I refuse to belief being an ass is a formal requirement for writing something about music that transcends the laziness of most music journalists.
