seems to me that the move is quite a personal thing, which is maybe a bit understandable given how demanding and insulting some posters (and even a big-ish producer) were starting to become
i think droid's point is a very good one though
either way i think its probably a good thing for the...
some great links here, thanks everyone :)
whats the crack with speaker stands? how does one distinguish a good stand for monitoring as opposed to poor?
i have a smallish desk of usual height (maybe slightly on the low side), and my monitors will be sitting either side of me... what is the...
i reckon the VIP term has probably always been loosely applied, and even more so now. either way the central point for me is how jokes all Marcus Nasty's VIP vocals are, i love them
onetime i saw him play dub, hardcore, house, garage, bleepy techno, and dark 2-step in one set, that was deep, he pulled out some tunes
what are the other guys from Horsepower up to nowadays? does anyone know?
Benny Ill is always worth seeing, mixing is not so good but every time i see him he plays shockingly good tunes, usually plenty i've never heard before also. but i dunno what kind of set he'll be playing
Glazed is a ridiculous tune, love it. what i love is that it is so ruff, which is rare...

Missy - On & On
Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger Remix
Busta - Call The Ambulance
Busta - Pass The Courvoisier Part II
Snoop - Beautiful...
my knowledge is very sketchy, but from impressions i've got, i think it was kind connected to broken beat in sound although im not sure how connected to the 'scene'
but people like
Front Room Recordings
Freerange (actually based in East apparently but i always associate it with the other guys...
its also probably appropriate to consider the role that communications technology (and other factors) has played here... the internet has perhaps considerably changed the degree to which producers of that tendency can converge around a single scene or genre to express that tendency and receive...
