Drum and bass is sped up jungle.

Original jungle tunes were about the same speed as modern dubstep.

New Skool Breaks is the new hard house

In the next few days Burial will be releasing his new album, Untrue. Could this be what the scene needs interms of publicity or will it take the opposite turn and start a chain of events that will not ruin, but hurt the healthy scene we have at the moment.

Burials new album will take off instantly, especially with the success and the publicity the last one got. But entertainment and music journalists who never had the chance to cover the last one no doubt will make the effort to do a write up this time around atleast.

Im just fearing that the media will attract the wrong crowds, due to the fact Burial's music is not really rave music, but listening music. Something that can attract a wide audience from all different scenes and different ages. I am sure if my Nan knew who Burial was and what music he produced, she probably would listen.

Maybe I just dont like change im not sure but even pokes commented last night on the boomnoise and pokes show on SubFM that he would like the media and the attention the scene is getting at the moment to subside and quiet down a little.

The more I think about it, the more it reminds me of Mortal Combat with the 5 combos leading to a KO. Benga + Coki - Night is another one of those tunes that crosses the border out of dubstep and into other genres doing the round in Ayia Nappa, EZ's KissFM show and fuck knows where else, especially at £4.99 at HMV it will probably be played at weddings next.

DMC championships. DJ Final put a few bits in his set, sparking the ear drums of hundreds of DnB fans waking them up to a sound that is happening.

I am not saying these people shouldnt produce these tunes or the other people cant play them. Just highlighting the fact that the scene is moving in a direction and everyone should be aware.

Another comment last night in the boomnoise and pokes show was that, boomnoise commented about Drum and Bass arena putting money into a scene that they know is happening. Cashing in quick before the big bang?

Maybe the current turn of events wont actually attempt to ruin the scene with commercialisation and strong media publicity, but trying to keep it our scene will...

Now this has started to bother me because he blatantly hasn't had a proper listen to whats going on.

Now this has started to bother me because he blatantly hasn't had a proper listen to whats going on. For someone so forward thinking I'd expect him to see what started jungle in this scene - pioneering sounds!

what's so crazy or "wrong" about this quote? dubstep has the exact same basic musical elements as drum&bass: sub bass, drums (kicks and hats etc.), pads/atmospherics and very little else. it's just at a way slower tempo and slightly different beat structure. as far as i'm concerned it's all coming from the same place, just in a different form.

i regret bringing goldie into it now. it was rash and unfair on him. not to mention very unprofessional of me.

i've deleted my post.
