You are probably right, but I don't anticipate that
most of the current dnb audience will get into it. I
think it will attract a lot of the older dnb audience
that have moved on.

I can't say I am even remotely moved by any of the
current dnb. The new Polar track "Innocent" off of
Certificate 18 and the last Blame "The Sigma" are the
exceptions. And that last Sonar Circle - Havoc EP was
wicked!!

Splintered? You mean divided between those that want
to make crappy rnb diva dnb and those that use the
same old hard & dark formula. Oh and those that want
to make 92 rave techno revival dnb. Yeah, I guess it
is divided a little. But it's not like the old days
when the artists actually had a unique sound.
> future cut - midnight (promos out now!)
> amazing tune.. late 60s/spiritual soul flava
Really? That must be a huge departure from their
normal sound. I've always rated them as one of my
absolutely least favorite acts. That "whiplash" tune
interesting for a few listens, but everything else
that i have heard has been total shite.
> high contrast.. get everything by this man. hospital

I'll check it out. Hospital has put out some really
nice releases.

atm!
I'm casually keeping an ear out for decent dnb, but I
don't expect to find any anytime soon. The older
stuff is still much more satisfying. And the broken
beat stuff is great stuff. Cheers
