    RE: get me started!I know I've mentioned it a couple of times on the list but if you're looking for the 'inteligent' 2-step sound check out
    Phuturistix - Deepdown EP - on Locked On
    and Zed Bias's remix of Hook And A Line - Two Banks Of Four - Sirkus

      Another couple of labels people should check out on the 2-step influenced broken beat tip-- Zest (Hidden Agenda's label) with cuts from Max Fresh (aka Hidden Agenda), Sequel and Nos and Paul's Musique--especially the single by Leupolz and Raabstein. These are definitely two labels to watch out for.
       
      And the Horsepower Productions singles on Tempa also cross over a bit to the broken beat side even though they are really 2-step singles.

        J-
        Definitely check out http://www.cmd.uu.se/AcidJazz/Backup/ and look at the April 2001 posts. We have had some huge threads titled "THE PLAN" and "more broken beat inquiries" that discuss exactly what you're looking for. As for web resources, I feel you, and have been searching for the same. Any search for west-london/broken-beat biz on Google or whatever calls up threads from this list. So welcome to the source.

        Check out http://www.xlr8r.com under the "archive" section hit issue 48, there's a piece on Dego and IG Culture, the "god-fathers" of the scene.

        Goya, the main distributor for all the key labels can be found at http://www.goyamusic.com Click on "new releases" and sign up for the list, then you'll receive a nice little message from "Spencer" every week or so that outlines what's set to drop.

        Many on this list, especially myself are fully feeling this music, whatever it's called. You have a great community here that will turn you onto latest releases, history, resources, events, etc.

        To reiterate the major labels:
        -Dego's 2000 Black
        -IG's Main Squeeze
        -Bitasweet
        -Archive
        -Alex Attias' Visions
        -People
        -Spinning Wheel

        You didn't happen record that Dego set for the crew who didn't make it to Miami? Nah, if only...

        BTW NY heads: Kirk DeGiorgio tonight in NYC. He's at Swingsett's party at OPENAIR, 29 St. Mark's b/w 1st and A. NYC, USA.

        late,

        hey all-

        just signed up for the list, i hope this is what i'm looking for. . .
        quick intro, i'm a drum & bass producer/DJ, mainly the chill stuff, i have a
        few releases scheduled to come out on good looking records,
        breakbeatscience, and a few smaller labels. i've been fast losing interest
        in the dnb scene however, and after hearing all the incredible music at WMC
        in miami this year i NEED to know more!

        i saw dego of 4hero spin the most incredible set of music i've ever heard
        while i was in miami and i really have no idea where to find out more about
        it. i'm pretty sure it falls under the 'nu jazz' category, it was mostly
        midtempo breaks (120-160 BPM, they went all over the place) that were heavy
        on atmospherics and jazz elements. almost on a 2-step garage vibe but much
        more 'intelligent' (i hate that word) in that the music went a lot deeper,
        the breaks were fantastically developed and interesting. can anyone
        recommend any online sources with audio clips that may be of this style?
        artists? labels? must have vinyl releases? i want to start
        incorporating this kind of music into my dj sets and productions, i just
        need a starting point to where i can learn more.

        any help?

        peace,

        john
