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.

Subject: get me started!
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
