Alex Reece actually. Although he made some great tunes it was introduction
of that boom -- chat, boom -- chat beat that seemed to rob drum n' bass
of all of its funk (later perfected and darkened by Ed rush). It was the
hyper kinetc BREAKS that gave it that human element. I always thought the
hip-hop & reggae mixed w/ the serious techno futurism was what made the
music so interesting, but those "black music" (jungle) roots seemed to disapper
and as a dj you were forced to go the "heavy metal" (RAM records) route
to keep the floor "runnin".....
I was at rave about 4 years ago and the djs were still hammering out the
dark stuff at 5 in the morning -- where was the jazzy and atmospheric stuff??
It seems that most dnb djs are either one or the other and rarely mix the
two (three, four, five??) styles together.
That being said I think the "Desert Rose" ep by suv and the Brazillian Stuff
by "Dj Markie" are both pretty nice, not enough to get me buying dnb in
the quantities I used to...........but then whoever thought anyone would
refer to dnb as nice
