I'm confused. First you say you don't have any BC records than you make
that last statement about smoking weed.
Maybe you think Pole and Basic Channel are the same thing ?
He never released anything on BC, or Chain Reaction.
Pole's music is really more like a very modern and electronic take on dub
techniques whereas BC is more like a dub influenced take on techno and
house. There's a lot more "glitch" in Pole's work, I don't think he
ever uses a four-on-the-floor beat and his basslines are in a dub like
style whereas BC basslines are in a house style. There's a bassline on a
track on the first Pole album which is 4 measures long while in BC stuff
they're usually about 2 beats long.
As far as BC/CR and drugs I think it was Simon Reynolds who called it
"heroin house".
My favorite joke is that BC/CR stuff is like hearing the music while
standing outside of a house club.
