I can't stand dubplates, especially within drum and bass. So many DJ's are just trying to control the dnb scene by playing dubplates from there own labels and they stick to just one sound, believe me I know, I have been listening to it for years. In the past few weeks I have lost faith in dnb and immersed myself more into techno. I find techno Dj's try to take you on a journey, as opposed to dnb Dj's except Grooverider, Fabio and LTJ Bukem. The dubplate thing is just their to cause hype, it used to be an experimental thing but not now, which is quite stupid really because why do you need hype for a self sufficient underground scene.
