oh, i'm not trying to suggest based on Photek that all dnb is dead. i do
think, though, he fits into a wider "reassessment" of the genre and its
various directions...

there's a hell of a lot going on here - not that i really follow it - but i
know that, in addition to the harder records coming out on Green, etc., some
mainstay DJs are doing a lot more non-d'n'b sets.
anyone interested in the current state of d'n'b should check the new
(forthcoming) issue of XLR8R, with a cover story on "defiant drumz" - a sort
of state of the art. in terms of SF, the phunkatech crew is profiled, but
there's a heavy UK focus to the article.
