Anyone know what the track right BEFORE this one? Wicked bassline! I THINK the track at 16:35 is by Domu (or also sounds like Total Science?) I'll check on exact title and label when I get home... excellent broken beat cut with a real synthy edge. > I got really interested in Dego after hearing him and some friends playing > at The End When I went to London.

I love how Dego and co. took elements of techno and some production techniques from dnb, instrumental hip-hop (remember Tek-9?) added some jazz flavors (like heavy Rhodes piano) to spawn an original new style that is a complete bouillabaisse of a bunch of different good beats and electronic, soulful sounds -- but doesn't really sound like other styles of dance music in particular that already exist. I think all the collaboration among those artists W. London right now of these producers is REALLY incestuous, there's like about 15 or 20 producers (and even some vocalists) that are appearing as collaborators on each other's records, labels, and starting new projects together as one-offs, etc. It's exciting to see all that synergy. Frankly, reminds me when back in Detroit all the EARLY collaborations between carl, derrick, shake, juan, kevin, claude, d-wynn, jay denham, basically the Transmat/KMS/Metroplex/Fragile family as well as UR/Axis/M-plant, people were all just really into discovering and defining a new sound. Everyone was helping each other out on productions, borrowing studios, labels, producers, remixers, etc. We're witnessing that kind of explosive "team creativity" growth in the broken-beat scene right now (and over the last 8 mos. or so), the ball is really rolling. A lot of the old Reinforced artists have got involved under different pseudonyms to make some really ecclectic tracks with wider influences and contributors. peace -- Matt MacQueen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archived radio shows --> http://macqueen.com/radio
