    Good tunes, bad influence

    Optical - instantly spawned an army of clones, all of whom promptly launched a production arms race and utterly failed to cop on to what made Optical interesting enough to warrant copying.

    hardcore breaks - what's good?

    "Hardcore Breaks" is a revival scene - it's basically Nu School Breaks heads reengineering oldschool tunes... J Tek is more of a revival scene based on the Jungle Techno sound as it was back then, but with less of an emphasis on sounding sonically "authentic"

    Songs about the anticipation of going out.

    And well you might... "Saturday Night" is a song about being out and is hence disqualified from this thread.

    "The most forward-thinking D&B mix of the year" apparently

    pretty much - lynx is solid well produced stuff that thinks it's better than it is just because it's less shit than the vast bulk of radio one / uk student night dnb...

    "The most forward-thinking D&B mix of the year" apparently

    Unless that's a pun you can't really be listening to that much of it. Granted the bulk of it is godawful student noise but one could say the same about most other things these days too...

    "The most forward-thinking D&B mix of the year" apparently

    Yeah - saw that, i must say i do rather rate Lynx and Kemo's stuff, and there are some great tunes on there... Most interesting forward thinking D&B mix of the year so far though is most likely a tie between the D:Bridge and SP:MC Rinse FM podcast, or any of the mixes Rockwell and Bop have...

    Commercialy released mixes with huge clangers

    No discussion of this kind is complete without mentioning Grooverider - specifically his Prototype years mix cd, brutal isn't the word for it! Shouts to the chap who mentioned Goldie's INCredible Sound of Drum n Bass mix as well, that was pretty shocking... Mills gets excepted from this...

    favourite headline ever

    A pair of old ones, from the time of John Hurt's last divorce... His wife had left him for a well known Irish landscape gardener and descendant of the Polar explorer Ernest Shackleton (and thus presumably a relative of "Shackleton" Shackleton too) "Elephant Man Packs Trunk" "John's Hurt as...

    late 90s tech-step

    I wouldn't call them either really, by the time they came on the scene the general development of the genre had sort of settled into the same patterns of "trendy style pasted over near identical undercarriage" in the same way that house and techno had always been from the beginning; you'd have a...

    late 90s tech-step

    He was, and interestingly enough he rather hated it for a number of years; it's funny how the four parties involved turned out after the split... D:bridge is the only one who's done anything of any merit whatsoever...

    late 90s tech-step

    "Stormbringer" was great... His recent stuff as "The Panacea" is beyond dreadful though... "The Bear of Berlin" :eek: This thread isn't about tech-step though - according to the chap who started her at least - it's about all the stuff that happened as a result of the first ed rush and...

    late 90s tech-step

    Kemistry and Storm's "DJ KICKS" compilation isn't a bad place to start either, come to think of it... And i'm a speng for leaving out Jonny L - i think i must have forgotten him because i still liked him when the drugs wore off :D

    late 90s tech-step

    Panacea had some wicked tunes - i think the thread starter is looking for strtipped down robotic "neurofunk" as simon reynolds called it - to the bemusement of many people in the scene today, because he never quite defined what he meant by the term - threads still pop up over on dogsonacid about...
