After the recent revelation by Spor, that he seems to be growing jaded with the scene, I am left wondering, what is it that is turning our best producers over to other genres?
For example Martyn, Breakage, Kryptic Minds are recent examples of producers turning to dubstep.
The commix duo, before they released the fabriclive mix, showed a large affinity with house and techno, as does Klute.
In the past there have been greats like 4hero, A Guy Called Gerald and Boymerang all swapping genres and lowering the bpms.
I am sure there are loads of other examples... I am just interested as to why. For a genre that I can't leave alone and that seems to offer a great deal of diversity and musicality, it seems odd that many of these great producers have strayed.
Maybe as we get older the breaks get a bit much, but then they should challenge themselves to produce dnb that isn't break lead, similar to Lomax's Artisan if you know what I mean...
Thoughts?
