Loved late 90s drum n bass and then got bored by it and then got back into it again.
I had this with happy hardcore. loved it as a teenager cos it was like bubblegum manic shit but much rougher, absolutely mocked it in my early 20s ruthlessly takin the piss out of it, only the darkest of the darkside, been getting back into it last and this year.
I think it's a more satisfying feeling than souring off something for good. i feel a minimal house reinvigoration coming on in the next few months, again something i didn't exactly pretend to hate, but leave that in the past kind of thing. now i want to record a deep entrancing mix to zone out, and all that early baby ford/ifach stuff is hitting the right spot. context so important.
I never had a backpacker rap phase cos I live in London, but i used to really like the Cannibal Ox album, still think its good, but I haven't listened to it for three years.
I used to cringe at big band jazz and only the freeist of the free but getting into bud powell and bebop in general retuned my ears.
