listen up fagets - drum&bass is the nxt big thing. you heard it here first!

To late pal, I have been on the case, right bang at the start of the year I said this on my blog.

High Contrast, Digital, Danny Breaks, Dom & Roland, Peshay, Lemon D, DJ SS ...also Ed Rush & optical will be back with a new ep, Klute, Technical Itch and many more.

No way man - trip-hop is the wave of the future

I've been led to believe that this drum and bass thing is the NEW black turtleneck music, folks. (Just so you know what to wear when listening to the NEXT big thing).

disappointed to already be too late to make time machine joke but pleased with jess's anyway

look asshole
If you (white male middleclass hetro) use the word at least spell it right.

My Faggot Cock Will invade your breeder ass w/o lube next time that happens .

It's not just drum and bass though. There's this band called Deep Blue Something that are really gonna blow your proverbial socks off within the next six months. And I can't wait for that new INXS album, Michael Hutchence looks like he's really cleaned up his act.

well, i was going to ask this anyway - we've had the old jungle discussion - can anyone reccomend some more recent drum'n'bass classic cuts for a c90?

Drum and Bass strikes me as the type of dance music that I could happily dance to after a few pints or even sober, but if I was actually on drugs, or forced to listen to it for more than an hour I'd get incredibly bored and throw a tantrum in whoever's house it was until someone played techno or something. Also when we go to parties with Drum and Bass DJs you always get these fucking dicks with a mic hooked up the decks and they're like "originaaaaaaal feroooooooooocious mon, maaaaaasive, viiiiiiiiiscious" and no matter how high you are you want to smash a bottle over their head.

Ronan - you're dissing MCs? :-(

Okay, yeah, some MCs are crap, and a lot of them are jungle ones because the good jungle MCs have decamped to garage.

Also, if you're talking about contemporary jungle then you're feelings of boredom might be somewhat understandable (although how would you say it differs from techno in this regard?) but have you heard pre-98 jungle? (truthfully I still find current drum & bass quite fun to dance to, although I have little desire to listen to it otherwise).

Anthony, now would you PLEASE stop using sex as a weapon?

Anyway, leave it to Tim to be perfectly reasonable. Listen to him, Mr. Dapper -- you'll be glad you did.

No Tim I meant at these parties it will be someone just like you or I who fancies themself as an MC, and as I'm sure you can imagine it's a nightmare. Also I admit I always am forced to hear D and B at a bad time, for example last week we leave one party for another at 6 in the morning and then you have this "difficult" music to contend with.

I'd never rule it out completely and I imagine the "DJs" I'm seeing might be quite poor as it all seems quite samey. Though I realise "quite samey" is the sort of thing a non fan might say about techno.

As I say I probably would like the pre 98 stuff, we went to a drum and bass DJ at essential festival last year for a while and I remember enjoying that. I can't remember who it was though.

"No Tim I meant at these parties it will be someone just like you or I who fancies themself as an MC."

Oh. Oh God.

Re: pre-98 jungle. Ronan I must make you a mixtape.

That would be cool. If you want I can make some sort of "house music that they play in Dublin" tape or get my friend Phil/Philth to give me one of his.

Actually there's a mix cd out by the guys I went to see last night, whom I wrote about on my blog, I could copy that aswell perhaps. It's all fun party house music really.

If you... use the word at least spell it right.

Bites tongue. Hard.

I never caught that, Sean...but hm....yeah. Heh.

I don't know for a fact, dapper, but that's what Bob Saggot told me.

"Okay, yeah, some MCs are crap, and a lot of them are jungle ones because the good jungle MCs have decamped to garage."

tim finney - where do u get this hearsay rubbish

name one major jungle MC who has decamped to garage.

garage is full of people who never made the cut in the d&b scene. producers, djs, mcs who just werent quite up there. why would top d&b mcs like shabba, skibba, det, fearless, foxy, gq etc etc default to a shakey scene when they are still regularly playing to packed d&b raves like one nation & slammin vinyl? or in london's premiere clubs like the end and fabric with 3 hour queues to get in?

u talk out ur ass finney. get a clue buddy. garage is played.

"name one major jungle MC who has decamped to garage."

Skibadee.

SKIBBADEE? COME OFF IT FOOL

RHYMING ON A COUPLE OF GARAGE TRACKS DOESNT MAKE A GARAGE MC

SKIBBAS DONE HIPHOP TRACKS - DOES THAT MAKE HIM A HIPHOP MC?

IVE NEVER SEEN SKIBBA ON A GARAGE FLYER - HE STILL SMASHES ANY AND EVERY D&B RAVE HE MCS AT AND NO GARAGE CHICHIMON LIKE PSG, CREED, B- LIVE, GODSGIFT WOULD DARE TEST

PSSHH

THATS LIKE SAYING ZINC HAS "DECAMPED" TO GARAGE

AINT NOTHING WRONG WITH MAKING A FEW BREAKBEAT TUNES TO PAY THE BILLS SO U CAN KEEP DJING + PRODUCING D&B

U DONT EVEN KNOW

i really hope we can get frothing fanatics for all cul de sac dance genres: deep house, minimal techno...

Plus let's stir up the frothing Cul De Sac fans - yr post-rock stinks of shit you fag pussies etc etc (actually they're prob. a smaller and more mild-mannered bunch, but it's always worth a try - I love these googling hatas!)

With lines like "U DONT EVEN KNOW" and "HATERZ" ... Hunta-D is obviously the secret 31st So Solid Crew Member. Hopefully we'll get a track called "PSSHH " soon.......

I can't imagine a rabid minimal techno fan being so... flamboyant.

"THATS LIKE SAYING ZINC HAS "DECAMPED" TO GARAGE"

I think you're being very harsh. Skibadee's not nearly as bad as DJ Zinc!

In truth I was being a little antagonistic with the Skibadee response. The MCs I was talking about originally (the crap ones vs the ones who've decamped to garage) weren't the well-known ones but the small time MCs who play at smaller no-big-name events. In other words, the ones who want to make a living. Many of *those* ones have decamped to garage, leaving a void at the very bottom for even less talented jungle MCs. (If I was an MC I'd stay with drum & bass too - how easy would it be to toast over all those predictable two-step beats? UK Garage would be quite difficult by comparison, I'd imagine)

I am getting a bit sick of all the slagging though. I wasn't under the impression that I'm that arrogant.

we wuv you timmy.

(btw, "more weed" is ace.)

Cul De Sac are on tour as we speak with Damo Suzuki's Network (which is Cul De Sac backing Damo). I'd love to hear about it from one of the Bostonians on this gay little blog.

D'n'B is pretty popular in Romford, even with the metallers (that lot got played on Radio 1 earlier apparently).

Cul De Sac went d-n-b? Talk about the "doldrums" ...

we wuv you timmy.
(btw, "more weed" is ace.) Both very accurate assessments. :-)

listen up fagets...
Wasn't there a Tom Lehrer tune that warned us all to "Not write naughty words on walls if you can spell?
- drum&bass is the nxt big thing.
You forget, my lad, Time is accelerating. The NEXT BIG THING will be passe by 3:00am tomorrow morning.
you heard it here first!
Ummmm...only if I was a time traveller and the version of me from 1992 was reading this. And even then, I think somebody else would've told me first.

No no no minimal techno fans are the worst. It's just hard to read their rants cause they are all lowercase and they use really small fonts.

naw, i think "minimalized minimalist picoambient microtechno" is the wave of the future. i heard that singles by perry and the pym particles are ace, especially "air pudding" and "hard vaccuum" (but you have to hear it through headphones and turn it way waaaaay up just so to hear the faintest sound.)

and thus the thread dies a horrible, spittle-choked dog's death at the hands of the humor unaware.

No! We must put it on life support and pump it full of agonizing life!
