 Coolness: 46805 | ^ fuck'em nathan post your music!
I wanna rant too :) I work on producing music full time while most people go out and party, then partly cus of that I rarely get book in this town :P But in the end it is my choice and eventualy that way i get booked out of town where there's people who like my style of music. Been making hardtek-hardfloor (call it hardcore) for 9 years now and got over 50 vinyl releases and more repress, basicly got pretty big in that scene, but non the less i don't socialise much, only with people in europe (labels - bookings) of course my friends in town. Am not the only one in this position, subtone & stalker and mutante for exemple are prety known in the rest of the world and barely get booked in montreal, where it seems its a network of rave wave kids throwing loft parties and booking each other (wich is their right i'm not sying other wise). It can get very frustrating though, but as they say 'nul n'est prophete dans son pays':P My other point is since 1 year i start making more and more electro and fidget house cuz for me (if you know the good beats in the genre there's some hard fuckin awsome beats in there) it's an amalgam of the different styles i'v been producing over the years (tekno, dnb, breaks, hip hop, etc...) and its very refreshing! I get some people who just discover hardtek who come to me saying they want me to play hardtek-hardfloor etc... I understand that they maybe don't know my history and that i way payed my dues in the scene (make 180-200 bpm hard tekno for 10 years and come back to me :P) and it's ok to do something different and new now :) That doesn't mean selling out though (hell i got 2 bookings since 2010, one on nye lol). Lastly I get annoyed with people putting down other people's musical taste, even if it's not what i listen to - pukes! Reading this post it sounds like dubstep is everywhere and its the cool thing to do. We are not in the uk - I would hardly call someone playing-making dubstep a sell out wtf! People who hate fidget-house whatever - i probably hate what you like and but would never say anything negative about it, wouldn't put energy towards hating something - hating neurofunk? ed rush & optical, bad company, konflict, etc.. all that was neurofunk and it was hardly about the biggest bass and no soul - i can see what you're saying about the 100's of spor clones (love spor btw) it can get tiring, but it's like that in any genre after the first generation of producers, people want to sound like their heroes and only a few get to push the sound further, the rest sound like pale imitations. end rant (wooh! i never speak up but you inspired me), screwhead the best i think is to focus on making your music and get booked where its happening - therapy-offkey, eastern europe and russia thats where skullstep and techno dnb (i love audio, raiden, cooh, panacea, etc btw) is HUGE! That's what i'm doing with my music - being an hermit and focusing on production (painflull but rewarding haha), keep your chin up bro :D p.s. book me! p.s.2. still love making-playing hardcore-hardfloor just doing 2 things no worries (floxytek remix on the way!). |

| Coolness: 282490 | I love all forms of music, I'm just a very picky guy. So it would take a good week to break down my thoughts on the scene and how music is progressing here.
Although I'm not fond of how things are running today, tomorrow may be a different story so I'll try to keep my lips sealed and see what happens. BTW: Book ZIMO, it's getting fricken ridiculous now 
Drum&Bass,Electro,Fidjit. He's releasing stuff on all kinds of labels. Sheesh let's hope he doesn't get scooped up and migrate somewhere else. "You don't know what you've got til it's gone" - Joni Mitchell |

 Coolness: 75705 | Nice to see that people still have conviction, and are more interested in following their interested than chasing after the almighty dollar. Reminds me of something I wrote years ago when I was the editor for the hardcore section in Massive Magazine (which, at the time, boasted the largest circulation of any of the electronic music mags in North America). Now that Massive has recently put all their content online, I can share it with y'all - so here it is: an editorial I wrote way back in the fall of 1998.... as a bonus the entire reviews section is also included - read what myself, Doormouse, Eye-D and Unibomber thought of records that are now a dozen years old... look them up on discogs and find out if we were on the money as to which ones would become classics!

 Coolness: 220005 | I remember Milton Clark playing a whole set with the delay FX on, what a fucking asshole, i hate that guy...
on a side note... I like where music is right now. I like how people keep pushing the boundaries with some genre's, while other people are bringing back older styles that haven't been heard in a couple years with thier production... there is a lot of things to bitch about out there, that's for sure, but there's also of lot of great shit to love. I don't really have a conclusion or point here so uhhh, yea, i'll pass the mic to someone with something to rant about |

There's room for all styles, it's up to us to use the powers and knowledge we've been given to take shit to the next level. If it's about bass, then bass music is what you play, whether drum & bass, hip hop, funk, soul, afro beat, breaks, dubstep, dub, garage, grime, electro, it's time to stop confusing the issue at hand and just get along ;) I mean, I love what Bassdrive is doing, and Forward, and you can't blame them for being musically biased, Junglist Fridays did the same thing for years, and only had a "little" dubstep and breaks and dancehall every now and then. If the people want dubstep, then that's that, but dont forget 'bout us little guys when you're looking down from the top. |

 Coolness: 140720 | Playing dubstep... selling out? I don't know which parties you guys go to, but the people I see and book to play dubstep... they're fucking passionate about their sounds! And when we're not behind the decks, we're on the dancefloor
I've given my blood, my sweat, my tears, my fucking soul, my last pennies, missed rent, got ill, lost jobs, got them letters from visa, still living, 3 of us in a 3 and a half, semi basement crowded with subs, speakers, production gear, band gear... not looking for a bigger place... still just scratching pennies for more sound... this is what you want to die? shit man, aint nothing simpler, get a gun and shoot me... and thats a first step son, stack up on bullets, but I tell you this, this sound will not stop until my body is 6 feet underground One thing people got to understand though, is that dubstep is not wobble... SOME dubstep tunes have wobble... but go on dubstep forum in the production section and ask how to do a wobble and you will get an immediate response: you dont all the new dubstep producer are working hard to break out of clichés and innovate, be original and somewhere between rusko and synkro there is a whole range of bass heavy music, not just wobbles. And if you look beyond this, it's easy to understand that all these sounds came from the same place... that breaks, dubstep, drum'n'bass, jungle... all of this bass music is part of the same family, the same lineage of music that follows certain techniques, that is built on the same basic building blocs that dub has created... of course the sound will move on and become something else, and all the previous elements will be enriched with this new sound... some people will complain that this new sound has taken away from their sound and that its just hype and it will die down... and it will happen again and again batteries on this comp will die soon, so i end this here... had loads more to say but i think i made my point |

 Coolness: 685625 | Wally, I think you missed the point I was trying to make; I've got nothing against dubstep, I love some of the stuff that's coming out (some of the heavier King Cannibal, High Rankin, some 16 Bit stuff, the dubstep bits Spor has done)
What I was getting at is that there are so many DnB DJs that have switched over to dubstep or fidget that every DJ is now expected to play the more trendy styles of music, and much as I love some of that stuff and have made some dubstep mixes, it's NOT what I DJ and it's not what I'm going to mix. Like I said, I'm a HARD DNB DJ, extra emphasis on the HARD. And apart from Noah's parties or stuff that Twisted Bass throws, what's the bookings/offers I get? I wasn't going into naming names, but I put ONE big-beat mix up for fun and you book me to play Big Beat and don't want me to play DnB (and that's not why I missed that gig, I had eaten something bad).. I give Seb Fullum some mixes to listen to to remind him I still exist, and in that was a couple of the Chopped and Screwhead dubstep mixes I did that I threw in just to give him something to listen to, and he says he'd only book me to play dubstep, despite my saying that they're something I did for fun and that it's not something I want to play out. So where the fuck does that leave me? No one wants to hear the DnB that I play and everyone expects me to play what they want to hear instead of what I want to play. FUCK that. |
