    RE: get me started!I definitely agree with those two picks--almost
    everything on Locked On is pretty good 2-stepwise and the Zed Bias remix of
    2 Banks Of 4 is great.

      I know I've mentioned it a couple of times on the list but if you're
    looking for the 'inteligent' 2-step sound check out
      Phuturistix - Deepdown EP - on Locked On
      and Zed Bias's remix of Hook And A Line - Two Banks Of Four - Sirkus

        Another couple of labels people should check out on the 2-step
    influenced broken beat tip-- Zest (Hidden Agenda's label) with cuts from Max
    Fresh (aka Hidden Agenda), Sequel and Nos and Paul's Musique--especially the
    single by Leupolz and Raabstein. These are definitely two labels to watch
    out for.

        And the Horsepower Productions singles on Tempa also cross over a bit to
    the broken beat side even though they are really 2-step singles.

          J-
          Definitely check out http://www.cmd.uu.se/AcidJazz/Backup/ and look at
    the April 2001 posts. We have had some huge threads titled "THE PLAN" and
    "more broken beat inquiries" that discuss exactly what you're looking for.
    As for web resources, I feel you, and have been searching for the same. Any
    search for west-london/broken-beat biz on Google or whatever calls up
    threads from this list. So welcome to the source.

          Check out http://www.xlr8r.com under the "archive" section hit issue
    48, there's a piece on Dego and IG Culture, the "god-fathers" of the scene.

          Goya, the main distributor for all the key labels can be found at
    http://www.goyamusic.com Click on "new releases" and sign up for the list,
    then you'll receive a nice little message from "Spencer" every week or so
    that outlines what's set to drop.

          Many on this list, especially myself are fully feeling this music,
    whatever it's called. You have a great community here that will turn you
    onto latest releases, history, resources, events, etc.

          To reiterate the major labels:
          -Dego's 2000 Black
          -IG's Main Squeeze
          -Bitasweet
          -Archive
          -Alex Attias' Visions
          -People
          -Spinning Wheel

          You didn't happen record that Dego set for the crew who didn't make it
    to Miami? Nah, if only...

          BTW NY heads: Kirk DeGiorgio tonight in NYC. He's at Swingsett's party
    at OPENAIR, 29 St. Mark's b/w 1st and A. NYC, USA.

          late,
          -embe

          hey all-

          just signed up for the list, i hope this is what i'm looking for. . .
          quick intro, i'm a drum & bass producer/DJ, mainly the chill stuff, i
    have a
          few releases scheduled to come out on good looking records,
          breakbeatscience, and a few smaller labels. i've been fast losing
    interest
          in the dnb scene however, and after hearing all the incredible music
    at WMC
          in miami this year i NEED to know more!

          i saw dego of 4hero spin the most incredible set of music i've ever
    heard
          while i was in miami and i really have no idea where to find out more
    about
          it. i'm pretty sure it falls under the 'nu jazz' category, it was
    mostly
          midtempo breaks (120-160 BPM, they went all over the place) that were
    heavy
          on atmospherics and jazz elements. almost on a 2-step garage vibe but
    much
          more 'intelligent' (i hate that word) in that the music went a lot
    deeper,
          the breaks were fantastically developed and interesting. can anyone
          recommend any online sources with audio clips that may be of this
    style?
          artists? labels? must have vinyl releases? i want to start
          incorporating this kind of music into my dj sets and productions, i
    just
          need a starting point to where i can learn more.

          any help?

          peace,

          john
