would have said 'nuum' but i dont to encourage any more discussion on that stuff.
this might be a bit hardline but i find it a bit dissapointing when you get so many 'back in the day' flashbacks listening to sets these days, whether its old grime classics getting dropped into spyros set, dubstep guys making 2steppy beats, or worse, trip hoppy beats, people like brackles (no offence to him, hes a great dj) dropping in old grime classics into sets of otherwise new material.
all good to remember old tunes, and occasionally for there to be a new remix or update or retooling (like what bless beats did with what would we do for wearing my rolex for example) but when theres so much blurring between the now and the past all the time, i just find it a bit strange. esp wrt grime, i dont want to constantly hear classics being dropped into sets - its too easy, and its also a bit depressing. like its almost accepting that theres nothing new that can compete. im all for pride in the history, but thats what back in the day old school sets are for. youre not meant to be doing that all the time. what happened to 'always looking forward, never looking back' etc?
