thing is, hardcore was a fusion of all kinds of music - hip hop being as much an influence as house music, and in that way grime is similar. but hip hop these days is radically different to how it was in the early nineties and kids today have grown up with this monster, international nuanced...

160 was a bit fast for darkcore - most of the stuff i've got from 1993 clocks in at sub-160bpm speeds. actually the fact it sped up so quickly in such a short time (from 1991 house speeds) makes it difficult to play a set spanning a wide variety of hardcore and jungle. i wonder if theres any...

yes, i used to go back then. i moved to thames ditton from liverpool in 1994 after i broke up with this girl and used to go down there with my mates, was my first real experiences of london, and specifically clubbing here. to be honest its all a bit hazy but i remember we had yellow callies a...

little bit overplayed imo - its a private company, people are well aware of what it is. if you don't want to use it, then don't use it. i think not being able to delete your profile sucks, but they aren't any better or worse than google, ms, or yahoo. yahoo in particular - people have been...

i suppose it irks the youngsters to have all these old fogies like us going "yeah, well the history of your music goes like this". it used to annoy me when my dad did it, but of course he was into all kinds of scenes and now i know hes got a lot of interesting things to say, but at the time i...

well, this is obviously anecdotal, but in my experience most people have used it without a problem. i know two people who've had issues (one with schizophrenia and the other with depression). but thats out of hundreds of people. thats pretty safe compared to almost any other recreational drug...

why is it then, that grime mcs often namecheck jungle as genre or even specific raves. i don't hear as many shouts to crunk artists (although i appreciate some grime people have worked with lil jon etc). like anything, theres some truth to it, but it doesn't come close to explaining...

i've got loads of austrailian mates and unless i go into the walkabout i find it difficult to recognise the picture being painted here - the ones i know are erudite, chilled out and optimistic - they aren't walking about encumbered by the weight of historical failure and obsolescence that brits are.

britneys album pisses all over it - no, i really mean that. you want true vocal science, rather than a rarified indie approximation of it, then burials lp is the last place you should be looking.

i pity you for thinking that. ;) but seriously, c'mon: caring for others is A Bad Thing? we have a name for people who don't feel any empathy for others: sociopathic. and it certainly isn't a compliment. and what, cos people aren't manning the barriers for some sixth form imaginary marxist...

that sounds like a wicked line up - if fabric wasn't such an abysmal shitty meat market i'd be there.

well, i agree in some ways - was always horrified when american courts brought in the victims families to make an emotional plea prior to sentencing. yes, sometimes its best not let the heart rule the head, but you can go way too far in the other direction - and i feel the kind of voluntary...

lol, ok that was a bit tetchy. but i geniunley think arcangel is the worst track from a so-so album - the critical evaluation thus far is due a big correction a few years down the road, when people can see it more clearly. i am a fan of dubstep and i loved the first lp, so i'm not just...

well, those "messy subjective feelings" come first, e.g. outrage motivates people to act - the rationality to acheive a result comes later. its not always wrong-headed to be ruled by the heart.

ok, i've been thinking about this quite a bit (yes, its a slooow time at work) i sometimes feel a bit out of my depth debating this stuff when it edges into theory but i find the idea bizarre and rather difficult to get my head around - maybe some clairification? i don't find the notion of...

hardly a suprise - says it all, i'm afraid. bring on the deodorant adverts.

i liked it - a return to the bass heavy bleep days carrying on where sleeparchive left off. in particular the mega heavy groove on the collaboration with the ragga twins - whats not to like? but yeah also rate a lot of his earlier work too - pro audio is awesome.

easily. the landstrumm lp for one, plus every bizzy b release on mu tops pretty much anything rephlex have released in the last 2 years. if we are talking idm releases more specifically, then i haven't a clue cos its not my bag in any shape or form.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/b008m3tf.shtml?filter=azgroup:cd&start=5&scope=iplayeratoz&version_pid=b008m831 interesting programme that touches upon many of the things we've talked about here. "Series about the history of British social dancing in the 20th century. In the 1970s...

but don't you get the feeling that this century will bring a round of human suffering greater than anything that has gone before with deaths in untold billions? (happy new year everyone, btw, lol) so it seems churlish to deny a bit of human animal pleasure before the slide into that good...
