Lol I'd be more than happy to argue with him about this...
I would kill to see this. Blackdown interview with Tom Zanetti? Gwaaarrn
I interviewed him the other week, but like an absolute idiot I didn't manage to get the recording software on my phone to work.
Fortunately I bumped into him at 2:31 and he was ridiculously sound about it, he was like "let's just do it again, I was hung over anyway". So I've written to him asking if we can do it this week.
I'm not going to publish it as an interview, more just going to use choice quotes and weave them into the expose, but once it's done I can message it to any of you lot who are interested.
PS: on that note, does anyone have any favourite scene expose articles they'd like to send this way?
would be good to learn from the classics

Course G!
He's a ridiculously sound guy BTW. Also when I said I was maybe trying to get the article into the Guardian he said "A that's wicked, I like the Guardian because it's not run by Rupert fucking Murdock" and basically we had a little chat about being socialist, the racial/gender politics of the scene and that.
Always wicked when someone you rate artistically also has sound politics!
There have been some BANGING new tunes out recently
Absolute percy from Hannah Wants, the original's decent too!
'Owlin' banger
Bouncy as a MOFO
ALSO there was one track both C&A and Hanna Wants played at 2:31, which had some synthy build up before breaking into some ABSOLUTELY INSANE bassline, like both really grimey and screwface as well as like, funky-hip-hop-disco arpegiated. Got wheeled both times, had the whole audience looking at each other like 'what was that???' but I can't find it anywhere. It's gonna be massive.
PS this is good fun to play with while listening to jackin:

this one

I've sent him the finished version, just waiting to hear back, seems he's an ILX interzone garage thread lurker...
these are fun, feelin' em. i see the energy/creativity of the scene but still get the "how is this different from bassline/ bassy 4x4 garage?" question in my head. dont suppose the ravers care tho, so hey ho.
sounds crazy! link it here when you find it?
That's banging! And congrats on the DJ Q play, that's a big deal!
I think that energy is like 90% of what it's all about, it's like, most of the best producers are very prolific, so just on the sheer /amount/ of great music coming out jackin's very exciting.
I think probably the biggest difference between jackin and bassline is simply the speed, dancing to tracks at 128-130 all night just feels very different to dancing to tracks at 145 (which is what I've often heard bassline pitched up to). There are some jackin tracks which are pretty much just bassline slowed down:
But yeah, it's banging so...
But then a track like this has quite a different rhythm to it:
It kind of bounces and bubbles in a way you wouldn't really associate with bassline.
I'd say more or less that jackin is to speed garage what uk funky is to 2-step.
In some ways it basically IS the same thing just processed through ~10 years of new technologies and sonic tricks. The changing same.
Found it! I think...
Yeah, in retrospect I think my description was a bit off actually :S
The tune that comes in around the 40 minute mark:
I Still Love You 2013 VIP - Hannah Wants and Lorenzo.
Sounds a lot less large listening at home on my headphones.
But it absolutely exploded the dancefloor, swear down!
