PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT discussing how good or bad the new dnb releases are. Im talking about the delays and setbacks at effect everyone!
Please dont bother to reply if you are just going to say "New dnb is wicked" etc cause thats not what Im interested in hearing
Anyway, on with the post.........
I got into hardcore in late 91, followed everything thru the darkside, early
jungle, ragga style, and right upto brand new dnb. What really fucks me off
now is the total elitest element of the dnb scene.
Does anyone else feel this?
For example, Ive followed V Recordings since day one, Ive got every single
release to date.
Back in 95-97 tunes came out on a regular basis, but nowwe are all forced to
sit and be begging mugs waiting and waiting for these "super tunes" to get a
release (If ever)
Im not even going to buy LK when it comes out, even just for the fact to
keep my collection complete.
Is anyone getting disillusioned with this shit? I have no time for new dnb
anymore, mostly for the fact its become a "who you know not how good you
are" scene. There is no enjoyment to be had from sitting waiting six months
or more for a tunes release. Why dont they just release the tunes and let
everyone enjoy them? What happened to the days of being able to go to a
record shop and buying a hand full of wicked new releases week in and week
out?
IMO the group of supposedly "best" dnb djs/producers have lead the scene to
implode up its own arse with their closed doors attitude to how and where
tunes go.
I for one, will not be buying any more new dnb. Its a sad day, Ive followed
the scene since day 1, enjoyed every style that has come and gone. But
unfortunatly its never going to as good as it was.
This may sound like a "back in the good old days" rant, but its all true. I
surely cant be the only one that feels pissed off with this situation.
I fail to see where any enjoyment can be had sitting and waiting months and
months for some good tunes to come out.
I certainly aint sitting like one of their lap dogs begging for them to
release the new tunes sooner like all the other mug punters. Hopefully they
will see alot of other people are abandoning the scene due to shit like
this.
A good example I heard today was of Shake your body being played at an event
and it clearing the dance floor. Talk about overkill LOL
