Venetian Snares is the tip of the iceberg in a whole genre of what I call
'post-drop-bass-post-gabber-hardcore' that has grown up around the
milwaukee/madison scene. Guys like Dan Dormouse, Snares, SubstanceP,
Bombadier, are all off on their own making really extreme, but very
creative music. Nothing I want to listen to all the time but it's a very
creative corner of 'the scene.'
But is that the 'next big thing?' don't know. I think people will begin
experimenting with more live instrumentation. There's a trend
in a lot artists to take a step back from crazy drum programming to try and
find new ways of working with simpler beats -- this has a hip-hop side
(boards of canada) and a techno side (PS I Love You Kid606)
