On the subject of revivalism and homaging, i think something Zomby said (i know, a questionable source) rounded it up quite nicely. Everything realistically has been done in electronic music, there are no new boundaries to cross, i'm big on IDM and Breakcore too, and even that is the most out there futuristic music there is and that is starting to repeat what it was doing in the late 90's. I think all that's left is to cross-polinate what we know and what we love. You get people like Wen drawing for early grime with the sparseness of early dubstep and the swing of garage, then Epoch with the raw electronics and distortion of Vex'd but with the space and vibe of early Caspa, then a lot of people are rebirthing grime.
One things for sure though, i am fucking sick of every club i enter booming 4x4 kicks and some vibey half arsed synth sampled from a detroit record or Massive with color and chord loaded on the patch lol.
But yeha big ups to all you, it's nice to know theres still a thread on here where people keep it real
Hope you see that the heads in here defo ain't hating, always appreciating. Probably one of the most sensible discussions about tunes I've seen on DSF lately.
. Send me a copy of Old School Methods for free because I supported back back in the day.
