Where are you located? I think that what people are saying is that drum and
bass is "dead" in a creative sense, not in terms of popularity. I tend to
agree with that assessment, because in my opinion, there is way less
innovation going on these days. I mean, the monotonous wall of sound theory
that many producers seem to espouse (and others just copy!) just doesn't
compare to my beloved funky (yet still rough in its own way) drum and bass
of old (jesus, only 18 and already sounding like a geezer!).
