<< I've always believed that the main problem with
jungle is that it's too self-limiting. >>
A few things that have really stagnated dnb is the
speed and the reliance on a 2 step beat. That has
seriously limited what you can do musically. A lot of
producers have jumped the bandwagon style-wise and are
sticking to formulas to make money.
However, there are some artists trying to make
original and quality music. I think Certificate 18
still puts out some good music. Klute and Polar (K)
are still awesome in my book. Good Looking and it's
sublabels still look promising. Future Engineers...
<< You have guys like Grooverider and Goldie that want
to run the scene and make sure that the only stuff
that gets popular is what they like at the current
moment. >>
I don't know if they have that much power anymore. I
do have to give props to Goldie and Grooverider for
PAST releases on both of their labels.
Metalheadz has released so much great music in the
past, with regards to their future releases I am
skeptical because they signed a really bad John B tune
and Future Cut.
<< Jungle always has to move as one big unit from one
big thing to the next. >>
I'm not sure if I quite follow? Are you saying it gets
stuck in one style? If so, I think the same is true
of IDM.
<< There was even a post to the Breakbeat Science
message board once asking if it was OK to stop playing
Bad Company tracks. Jesus. >>
That sounds like it was either a joke or a pathetic
individual. I think it was a joke.
The worse thing about Dnb these days is all the rehash
shit going on, especially all the '92 rave techno
samples. Oh and hoover bass...
