Caspar Pound of Rising High has always been an enigma to me, but this interview with Colin Faver from 1992 is revealing — very uncommercial mindset, maybe a little spiky, heavily influenced by experiences in German clubs, sceptical of democratisation of production and landfill hardcore. It also explains who Pypee is. Worth a listen
Whatever the reason, it's because, for me, the production started becoming more interesting. I don't know if a split needed to happen for that to happen.
My trajectory is pretty simple to follow if you understand that I've foremost been interested in electronic sounds and noises within the context of dance music which is why I sort went like this (this is very simplified, however, because it's not like it was strictly followed, it would sort of leave out things like Public Enemy and Eric B & Rakim):
electro-rap into ebm into techno

Another reason I wasn't keen on using the very limited resources available to me to drop money on unknown (to me) 12"s was that this one of the big tracks from the 92 uk hardcore scene, and it's pretty much the opposite of what I wanted from electronic music:

It wasn't actually that big in the local scene per se and derided by all credible djs, but it got in the charts and suburban bass licensed it to a lot of comps, I read the book of one of the guys who made it. They did a whole American tour and all, even signed a deal with one of your majors over there but it all fell through as they wanted balads on the album. etc.
what prompted this comment lmao.
Here is your saviour
It's not very exciting, i must be honest. I would rather be damned to sufferring the hellish drug noise.
i'm guessing the cybersonik along with a few tracks I posted
From what I was hearing going out, DJs would very rarely, if ever, play that kind of really noisy stuff, though.
stuff closer to Seawolf, or that Hardfloor track @Murphy posted, would be more accurate from what I was hearing at raves at that time

Can turn naughty
Was just listening to Adam X's podcast with Daniel Bell today and they were talking about Cybersonik. Def worth a check
I should clarify that I mean that is within places I went, primarily in the Charlanta area https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlanta
I'm sure they were playing the crazier stuff in places like New York like at the stormraves and whatever.
And also of course the big "ravey" sounds were still a thing, but it depended a lot on the particular DJ and there could be literally dozens of DJs in one night, like on a "flier" (not sure if flier is the best word, more like thick cardstock, printed in full color on both sides) I found a couple of years ago for an old one I went to in ~93 in Charlotte there were just tons and tons of names (they must have been changing DJs every hour, I guess!) - wish I could find it again, but it's buried under piles of stuff again, but I actually remembered purposely saving that one back then because back then I thought it was the coolest thing ever - it was named Future World
