indeed......heard a little at the time on pirates but it did'nt seem to catch on in Manchester (if it did 'twas beneath my critical radar)swears said:Listened to the sample on the kin records website. I enjoyed the tune but it doesn't really bring anything new to the 2step sound. I suppose it must sound pretty fresh if you're unfamiliar with the genre in the first place.

Oh i heard those...swears said:2step? It was all over mainstream radio and tv. 1999-2001 You had loads of big name commercial producers, MJ Cole, Artful Dodger, etc...

there was the something J release on warp though, wasn't there, but that was more like a genuine attempt at ukg, rather than an incorporation of garage into IDM idioms.

I guess that unlike jungle, a lot of the ukg that showed up on peoples' radar was the smooth slick stuff rather than the sort that really showcased the interesting sides of it, and so a lot of people (myself included to a large extent) weren't particularly tempted to dig deeper. And also, tbf, jungle was just a much bigger leap ahead from what had gone before and brought more new stuff that could be taken off in other directions.
