    I've wondered how receptive the drum n bass audience
    would be to some of this broken beat material.
    Obviously, a lot of drum n bass producers (especially
    in the Reinforced camp) have gone on to make broken
    beat.

    Tuesday night I went to Substance @ The Knitting
    Factory, LA to see Red Devil spin. Most of the night
    the djs were spinning drum n bass, and Red Devil ended
    the night with a really nice broken beat set. I was a
    little surprised that one of the guest djs started to
    get an attitude in the first 5 seconds of Red Devil's
    set, simply because he wasn't playing dnb. They
    didn't even wait for the beats to kick in before they
    went to their friends complaining it was house. That
    first tune was by Domu and when the beats dropped that
    very same dj proclaimed "oh my god I love these
    beats". She probably felt like an idiot, because even
    her friends seemed to loved what RD was playing. The
    crowd gave a pretty mixed reaction. Obviously some of
    the kiddies left because they wanted hard dark dnb,
    but a lot of people stuck around and really dug it.
    It was good to see all the positive reactions from the
    crowd, and the applauds.

    Well sorry to bore you all...

    Cheers,

    -Will
