I thought it was redeemer of fulla culture. I'm not sure if that makes more or less sense though. I'm pretty sure Mikey Dread was the original

I like both. I'm so Benneton.:p

I keep getting the feeling that this usually occurs with any music when unimaginative*, drum and bass producers cross over en masse to a new genre (see also dubstep). I seem to think it was around the time they actually stopped using breaks, I just remember loads of reese and hard house sounds...

Not at all. That is actually the correct response.

Yeah, hip hop was obviously a big influence on the originators. I kind of like the return of this element, far more emphasis on groove and ideas than polished production. Although there's a lot of patchy b-more stuff, there are some gems out there, good to mash some breaks into the 4/4. Just a...

Lee Mortimer's stuff is top notch - the Sawtooth Sucka alias stuff is really well done. Also worth checking Jacob London - he's been going for quite some time but his stuff is technically well done, funky as fuck and funny as hell. I do enjoy dancefloor tunes that make me laugh too. I always...

But then again there's a lot of tunes that don't conform to that vibe either, not all about buzzy synths (although fair enough mostly is), seems to be more jackin than driving which is where I always felt electrohouse differed

If fidget house is a joke term invented by Switch and Jesse Rose, what exactly is it and at what point does it stop being fidget and become plain deep house, electro house, etc. And even more shamefully I say this having a foot long stack of the fuckers bought by fidget artists or found in...

Couldn't agree more, although I might go even slower. Plenty of ways to create energy without resorting to the laziness of speeding tunes up and there's definitely more scope for groove at those tempos. Having said that I do think halfstep dnb sounds way better than halfstep dubstep

We need to think about reintroducing that dance back into the clubs. Inappropriate dancing manouevres are very now I think. Gonna get my dancefloor learn on. I remember trying to get people at this free party to do this the other month, but they just looked at me like I was a babbling gibbon on...

I did riverdance to Said the Spider. I'm still trying to learn the running man, can't be that difficult if the Iceman can do it. Damn my arthritis:o

And I thought Chardonnay was a stupid name...mutter, mutter, not like it was in the war years, you could leave your front door open and it'd still be there once the luftwaffe had bombed it. Kudos for use of the word limber in this context too. Looking forward to spritely being brought back into...

I was chatting to Poax about Mc'ing at tea dances, probably the only place I'll look fresh faced now - "out to the pink wafer crew - your time, soon come" All up for the Gabba Granny nights:cool:

Erm yeah. I do like to think it was mostly witty and well-thought out comments but then there's always a delusional stage in OCD recall. Think I'm going to get overtaken by the emoticon and heavytunebruv crew in no time. It's only really an acheivement in the sense that most of that was time I...

Hi Dan, you may well remember me as gobshite du jour from the dubstep forum. Got a mate who's looking for work in some sort of music journo capacity, and remembered that you'd done some writing for the Guardian. She's just recently finished her degree and been acting editor (admittedly on no...

Picked up the DJ Tamiel 12 on Dress to Sweat yesterday, damn good label it seems. Not quite connected to funky, but still house (of sorts) - http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/290979-01.htm - last track has a sort of grubby 2 step intro too. I kind of like this cross between the club breaks...

I've been there a few times. I think if it was hip it wasn't whilst I was there. I kind of like the art space. Well I like the people coming up and persuading drunks to take in some art and failing. I thought it was all part of the performance.

a/ I don't do DSF :D b/ I think reverb is the content Good work for getting it moving though, nice to see people adding in new creative ideas

This is so true. And the 0.01% that it does matter to you should generally ask quite why it does and why they haven't maybe sought therapy for it yet. Just out of interest, is there much cross-pollination between this stuff and some of the b-more and baile stuff, quite enjoying this return to...

I've hardly ever found any presets which don't suck totally, although there was one called pop square which I found on my emu x that sounded to my ears like that grime lead used on more or less everything a few years back (and maybe still now, not really urban/upper middle-class enough for this...
