nobody can deny their contribution or take that away from them. they definately hold a lot of credit for what they have done.

if they end up making pop and making money then good on them, they deserve it. their music wont be doing anything for the underground, but if they become succesfull it wont matter to them.

for the record i did not make the above statement.

that seems really weird to me, i always though chase and status were pretty standard sounding for the most part. can think of about 3 tunes by them i would class as actually good.

none whatsoever, i guarantee that nobody can give you a credible example of how this will damage "the scene" it's just they aren't avant garde enough.
see being avant-garde for the pure sake of being avant-garde can be a problem in itself. if they do what they do to their OWN standard consistently...then that's all that should matter imo. If Mr. Johnson dictates what sort of music they make then it's a problem. Or am I just stating the obvious?
yes. i was being sarcastic. what i meant was they arn't avant garde enough for the boring elitist nerds who think they're cool and are mad that they cant dance.

LOL yeah I knew you were being sarcastic/what you meant. They need more emoticons up in here.

blah blah blah, i sware some people in this forum spend more time slagging off chase and status than they do praising the works of the artists that they actually like.

how does that add up?

It's quite simple.

1) Lowest common denominator music is popular.
2) Lowest common denominator dubstep (e.g. Chase & Status with vocals on top, which is presumably what will be coming out through Mercury) gets more people into dubstep.
3) More and more lowest common denominator dubstep gets made by people trying to emulate the popularity of C&S, thus lowering the overall quality of dubstep.
4) Cycle repeats itself until lowest common denominator dominates the genre completely.

Chase and status have merked the underground dnb scene for years and given it life at times when bate jump up was ruining it. They've been involved with dark garage, grime, hip hop, dnb, dubstep and smashed every single one of those genres to bits. Yeh fine, things are a bit much now, but you cant be hating on these two who produce substance in everything they do.

Snoop dog might have fucked up eastern jam, but before that i bet you were fingering your arse to it. go get some valid opinions - co-labs contribute to integration and forward thinking, you, clearly, do not.

so no jungle changed your life then?

metalheadz era stuff or even old hardcore...

and papua new guinea is a dancefloor tune albeit a combination of meat beat manifesto & dead can dance...

i also dance to venetian snares and consider his music to have changed my life...

don't get me wrong i know where you're coming from and i love a lot of jazz, classical, folk, hip-hop, reggae/ska, afrobeat etc and consider much of it to be life changing in a different way to dance music but i still would say my life has been impacted upon hugely by electronic music..

I've said from DAY that C&S are going to be the next Pendulum. I have no interest in them, what they are doing is making money from doing what they love. Large them the fuck up, the music might no interest me but around of a fucking plause people. How would you feel if Skream / Benga / DMZ or any other big producers took it that next step, would you complain and bitch about them? Probably so.

Good for them!

Not sure about Benga/Skream, but I guarantee you Mala would turn down Mercury.

My point was that being ambitious and aspiring to sign to a major label are not necessarily the same thing.

i'm saying the disposable dancefloor fodder like c&s pendulum clipz etc stuff that don't get me wrong i enjoy, but like i've stated before doesn't really have a shelflife and would hardly consider to be life affirming or changing
i mean shit even i write some shit like that, just i consider dance records to be just for that and wouldn't classify a lot of the stuff you listed as that
and yea electronic music has changed my life a great deal just not dancefloor stuff
