I don't think you can really judge the state of a
genre based on one artist. Photek has done several
non-drum n bass tunes in the past. Check out Traenon
or whatever the single was on Op-Art. Some nice techno
stuff from him on there, and then there are many trip
hop type tunes here and there

I don't think I have bought any SF stuff since Sharp
Scientific - Magnetic EP.

As usual drum n bass is going in every direction.
Marcus Intalex and Doc Scott have done some housier
drum n bass. Apparently, J Majik has a housey dnb
tune called 'Love Is Not A Game'.
Then you have the 'Borg Metal Fraternity' (as Dillinja
puts it) doing hard drum n bass. People like Bad
Company, Ed Rush & Optical. Sort of getting more
techno-ish.
There's a lot of old skool influences coming back.
Digital has been dropping some ragga-ish samples.
Digital & Spirit will drop some great tunes this year.
Classic '92 hardcore sounds and breaks are being
looked at again. Not too fond of some of that stuff.
You know Dillinja's lp are going to have some hard
amens with deep bass.
The Good Looking crew stays pretty much on the same
path.
Total Science has been doing some killer tunes.
Everything from downtempo to techno sounding dnb, to
old skool.
