I just played an amazing gig locally. first I threw down some rare
groove (Billy Paul, Afrique, S.O.U.L., puzzle, IF. Hidden Strength, Ben
Sidran, Cannonball Adderley, & Lighthouse). then went down the street
and rocked a crowd with underground garage. and came back a hour and a
half and layed down some of the best 95-96 drum & bass (Ez Rollers, Omni
Trio, Earl Grey, Spring Heel Jack, Peshay, Jonny L., J. Majik, old Roni
Size like "It;s a Jazz Thing", and Adam F. It was sooooo
beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY miss that style of drum bass, and I
think acid-jazzers would fall in love with that jazzy, funky, almost
dream-like style!!!
What happened to it? I still DIG da Techstep and Hardstep sounds, but
jump-up is getting ridiculous!!! Do you know what I'm sayin'?????
All da other drum and bass headz, vent your feelings, do ya feel the
same????
