just to get some attribution here, i believe it was photek who proclaimed
that drum and bass had become electronic music's equivalent of heavy metal.
that's some strong authority there considering his respect within and
seminal contributions to the genre. even still, check out his latest album
which goes all over the place from deep soulful house to ambient bjorkish
paeans to straight up drum and bass. so is photek some kind of
schizophrenic mortician? nah. just makes you think that photek is making
"acid jazz" ; ) i guess it comes down to the fact that photek has never
been afraid to put his heart and soul into his music. whereas the fading
trendsetters like dieselboy have done their best to hack away any emotional
depth from their sounds.
but no *rhythm* could ever lose it's potential to shake some soulful booty.
can i get a soul clap?
just another white nerd's perspective,
aaron dario
and, oh yeah, it all comes down to art official intelligence
