i've just clipped a bit of the argument for reference's sake, but jeff, i
agree with you whole heartedly - it's something that was discussed on the
list a couple of years ago, and i made a point very similar to yours.
"proper d'n'b" - which i do believe is a useful categorization - is a
largely *internally* drawn scene, making music according to its own rules,
traditions & conventions. which is a totally valid ethic, if you ask me.
but regardless of your opinion of such a genre, it's vastly different from
artists making d'n'b-influenced music for *other* scenes (and here i would
include jenkinson, who made jungle-derived music for a different audience
and a different purpose). it's a dichotomy that i think has never been very
clearly spelled out on this list...
