Cool, I got sum of you to vent your ideas on the lack of knowlege and
respect for Broken Beat in the states. I used to spin & produce jungle/
drum & bass, since '94. But i got over most of the techy noize step
around late '98. Then i found myself paying way more deep & jazzy house,
& UK Garage. Then in mid- 2000, broken beat.
I just played thursday night @ superclub Freedom in Phoenix. It was slow
night at Advanced (Emile of Bombshelter dj's fame), ut a layed down the
broken beat THICK (you know Domu, Nubian Mindz, Son of Scientist,
Afronaught, New Sector Movements, Electric Soul (Phil Asher), and Seiji.
Also did some damage with Deep Techno's Common Nature/Planet E, Aubrey,
Kenny Larkin, and Titonon (2000 Black). The less than 100 crowd was
watching from the bars above with dumb, & astounded looks on their
faces. But they dug the Nu Skool breaks easy, from Snail & Emile.
But I went on too early 10.30-12. And most of the crowd was crossovers
from the Crystal Method, Uberzone, & Adam Freeland show earlier down the
street.
It might be happening in SF & LA for broken beat, but what other dj's in
the states are doing it!!!!!!
I'm playing it to people who have no idea what I'm playing. Some call it
funky electro/ slo-mo drum & bass music?????
WEIRD, MAN!!!!!!
