    I think there's still a lot of interesting drum & bass out there.
    Especially if you like jazzy drum & bass. Check out releases on:
    Hospital, defunked, pivotal, Future Prophecies on Certificate 18,
    Phuturistic Blues, and a bunch of small one off releases (Blue Room
    Co-Op, etc.). Admittedly jazzy and chill drum & bass is not the majority
    of what comes out, but there's enough coming out to keep us relatively
    busy. That's the only dnb we carry pretty much.

    yes.... i agree with you
    db has passed without any innovation. of course, some exceptions as
    patife & marky, intalex and others. i think this is gonna change cause
    nu-jazz scene is pushing a lot of producers to do something new and
    different, even db people. talking about db, any opinion Herbie Hancock
    - Essence (Dj Krush, Joe Claussel and Ltj Bukem remixes) ?

    see ya
