im not saying everything was perfect in the good ol days - i dont even like all those deja sets with idiot mcs shouting all the time, barely on beat, and reciting rubbish lyrics, but listen to something like that famous 45 min set with slimzee and dizzee and its hard to find a bad beat on there. maybe thats just slimzee (i mean he does have brilliant quality control/taste, to this day) but it does seem like back (im talking 2002/2003) then the quality control was a bit higher. often i hear modern sets and think the beat quality is pretty erratic. for every scars you get some weird crappy thing that sounds like someone sat on the orchestral preset button a bit too long lol. i might just be being selective of course. i remember hearing that skepta set from sept last year and thinking the beats on there were quite brilliant... but that seems like ages ago.
i wish barefiles was up again.
