i can never forgive zane 'low' for tirelessly supporting pendulum,

pendulum are what what happens when you let Australians make drum and bass.

screeching mid range and no subtlety, not dissimilar to zane himself now i think about it....

He used to play the Ghost stuff, Groove Chronicles, Horsepower etc.
Had El-b do a couple of mixes for Talking Loud and was one of the first
non dubstep DJs to play Goat Stare and Request Line way back.

A bandwagon jumper he's not.

Zane Lowe on the other hand...

finally - some sense in this thread

ha ha ha very funny!!!

however, as much as i dislike (most) australians, i have to say that one half of sci-clone was an aussie - and they released some heavy metalheadz pressure a while ago now

If you're saying Gilles P is a bandwagon jumper, where are you going to stop? Might as well accuse Soul Jazz of the same thing, first dubstep tune I saw in Sounds Of The Universe on the rack was War Dub, I spoke to them about putting a night on and they said there was no way it was ever going to be big enough.

now we have them to thank for a lot of exclusives and a lot of exposure for talented DJs who weren't necessarily into it before. bandwagon jumpers they're not, they just weren't 100% from the year dot. And there are loads of scene dons now who did exactly the same thing.

IMO people don't like Gilles P because he's got a very eclectic taste and will quite happily play Coki alongside Fela Kuti etc. big deal, the man's selling records for other people when he does that.

@ anyone calling Peterson a bandwagon jumper. The guy's a legend. It amuses me how people can have passion for a certain kind of music yet be resistant to the same kind of music having the same effect on someone else albeit after them.

Anyone listen to it? I'm more interested in knowing what Fela Kuti song he played.

Reprazent brought Jungle to the world.

Jungle became a world wide phenomenon after Reprazent.
Jungle was international from the date of conception through clubs like N.A.S.A. in NYC.

Well BVC lets get back to the Original reason for this Frank discussion shall we?. My point being that Dubstep would actually benefit from not becoming the next underground trend so suddenly.

Sure its blown up massively in the last year and a half, but before the dust settles is it really a good idea to have an influx of fare weather Dubstep fans? and all the media interest that stalks such exposure. I mean look what happened to grunge in the 90's when that exploded from a small closenit scene. Do you want the Suicide of lets say "N Type" on your hands? Do You?

take it EZ BVC

Im not talking of some small underground scene in New York im referring to Jungle becoming part of popular culture.Most people had no idea what Jungle was before Reprazent.
Im going to leave this argument here as you seem incapable of having a rational discussion.Other people have proven and backed up my original point for me.

peeps stop arguing about Reprazent, you both sound silly and it's derailed another thread.

and lol at anyone calling GP a bandwagon jumper - he was playing Request Line, 28 grams and other big plates before most of the members on this forum had even heard of dubstep.

though can understand why people get uneasy when pricks like zane lowe start playin dubstep. there's always gonna be a tension between the music becomin more popular and it retainin its artistic integrity. people will sell out. its happened before and will happen again.
