I dunno, nobody's been really sticking to the two-step beat that much,
really... Even really big producers like Konflict and Tech Itch really
mix it up a lot...
Plus we've learned from genres like house/techno that exploration of
beats isn't really necessary to keep a genre interesting.

I like some of the Cert 18 stuff and I wouldn't mind TeeBee & K so much
if they wouldn't compress their breaks so much. :)

completely ran the scene like they did.

Platinum Breakz is so amazing that Metalheadz can't really do any wrong
in my book... It's mostly Doc Scott that does it for me, though.
Speaking of which, how do you like Beachdrifta?

I'm saying that jungle only means one thing at any point in time...
subgenres can't really co-exist. It's just annoying.
