What's wrong with lesser known artists carrying the torch? What's to be
scared or weary about? You can't just wait for it to be handed to you on
a silver platter. You might have to put in a bit of effort to find the
stuff you like. Just because music you dig might be lesser known now
does not mean jack shit. There is soooo much progressive music out there
and i personally don't care if it reaches Jamiroquia status or not.
Anyway, i'm sure all of the people on the list would love to shoot out
current top 10's, fav record labels, etc. etc. to ya' in the emergency
of a drum and bass drought. =)
happy hunting,
aRgo

Yeah, I think it is scary how quickly a music trend can die out these
days, For example between 1992 and 1996, acid jazz (funk, R&B, jazz
type)seemed to be a new music genre and the possibilty for quality music
would emerge, However, now artists like d-Influence, and brand new
heavies virtually died out leaving lesser known acts to carry the torch.
While popular acts like Jamiroquai eventually changed their sound to
appeal to a broader audience. I am weary of any longevity in music these
days, just bask in the moment and enjoy the drum and bass beats while
they
last.

Drum'n'Bass will never make it big (or nowhere near that) in Spain; and
not only among the Hip Hop scene, which is growing at a fast speed.
Drum'n'bass just is inexistant. Shame.
