''Yeah, all good. We're getting a remix off him for one of these Funky tracks we've got coming, the first one with a full song on. Everyone's like [awestruck voice] "Todd The God" but I was just "fuck that Todd The God shit, bollocks, let's get him".''
Good interview, legend.

I'm a bit confused about this in honesty, dubstep has got a lot of different avenues and is no more predictable than 2-step garage. Also Noodles was putting out a lot of standard sounding dubstep on DPR digital recently

Yeah if El-B or DPR are seeking to take dubstep somewhere new then, I'm afraid, they're failing pretty dramatically. Also, is it a coincidence that most recent dubstep stuff from Horsepower (that Kuma remix aside) and Zed Bias has been relatively underwhelming?
Don't get me wrong though, I've got nothing but love for those guys' old stuff. Absolutely legendary

Good interview, was more interested in reading about his music than his business strategies though really.
Nevertheless, Big up El-B!!!

I'd say a lot of the DPR were pretty damn fresh, especially the Dubchild and Daega! And a lot of the recent El-B and Roxy tracks have been next level at least as far as production goes...

the vibe i got from him is that he finds dubstep too dark and hard. he felt like that in 2003 - hence why he left - and the current state of screaming heavy metal wobble isn't likely to change his mind!

Fair do's.
Each to their own, etc. Didn't seem anything special to me at all, especially in light of their very illustrious pasts

off topic but there's a cleaner at my school who lives on my street who looks like exactly el-b but he's a punk, always wearin DK shirts (dead kennedy's for those who don't know and if you don't know check them out, amazing band, extremely longwinded this is and now yoda style sentence structure sets in oh dear)

I'd be interested to hear his latin house stuff, tbh I haven't been blown away by any of his dubstep bits (though some have been good) but if he doesn't even like the music as a whole than it's only to be expected.
Will he be playing garage/dubstep at the FWD launch?
