I watched a good interview with El B talking about production etc a couple of months ago. He did indeed sound like a considered and thoughtful individual. Can't find the link, but it's well worth searching for.

from computer music I think.

Does anyone get the sort of "the young generation is going to hell" feeling from the wire interview, that was the only thing that kind of annoyed me about it or maybe London youths are worse than they were 10 years ago?

there's really no need to focus on that. i've met some great people through dubstep

that interview is fantastic, really interesting

Not trying to focus per se, it's just something I think most people would notice straight away. Especially women. I've met some great people through dubstep too.

Co-signed on that interview. Really great stuff. Take that hardcore continuum!

do you mean you sensed moral indignation or rather just an observation that things have changed?

the more i read this the more it reminds me - something i should never ever forget - that you can spend 23 hours a day reading the dubstep forum and downloading sendspace tracks from myspace - and you will still have no fucking clue about music in london...

All this furrowed brow thinking about music has polluted my mind. The internet has helped me discover loads of great music and obviously there should be discussion... but sometimes I wish I'd never started thinking about music in those terms. It's easy for me to do as I live in the sticks and hardly ever go clubbing anymore.

he was just calling it as he saw it I guess, not about judging it. But Im just very wary of the kind of "the youth of today is.... in my younger days..." statements.

its a really tough issue to gauge but equally its worth being wary of a tendency to assume that social norms are in stasis...

Out of curiosity how old would he be. About 30 ? Im guessing he's seen a lot of changes in London music from Balearic (his word for techno/house) to DnB, UKG, Dubstep and now to ukfunky.

What I am finding interesting over the past few years is that House isnt a dirty word anymore and people are looking at houses past and putting elements into ukfunky, furthermore that ppl like El-B are looking to incooparate vocals in the traditional US sense. Im hoping a dirty raw sounding Blaze are around the corner but not an imitation of the US sound.

he he true, but it felt weird coming from a guy who's done dark and raw garage stuff

i really didn't understand his use of Balearic, thought that was something quite different.

I don't really understand anyones usage of Balearic but he definitely used it differently from most people

his concerns there seemed to have to do more with not being able to reason with a young feller with a piece as opposed to the darkness (or otherwise) of any given music.
