    RE: get me started!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,

      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
