1993!!! The first broken beat I ever heard was in 1986! And I'm
telling you guy it was just wicked. Not like this watered down
commercial stuff they are all doing now.
:-)
Seriously though - I think my first exposure to this stuff was via
Alex Attias. I was seriously into the Bel-air Project remix of Roni
Size's "Watching Windows" from '98, which still sounds pretty
nu-jazz to me. Then there's "A Jazz With Altitude" - 'nuff said.
I wonder if any of Tek9's "It's Not What You Think" album from '95
counts. After all, half of Domu's tracks sound just like Tek9**
from that period. I think that's pushing it though.
**Tek9 = Dego (not on the alias list.)
