you're damn right. has so many elements from different styles
incorporated into it. a melting pot of music. i just think of it as
digital jazz funk - along the lines of bob james, roy ayers ... but
not just ripping off that sound, instead these artists add something
new to the mix - hip hop, drum 'n bass, etc. there are no apparent
rules so you don't know what to expect from each release from all
these different labels (didn't know there were so many). love it,
music that can't be pigeon-holed.

The CiM, Optic Nerve, Newworldaquarium and Plasm Nesonic don't really fit
into this category.
What I like about this "West London" sound is that it can incorporate so
many other sounds. The more electro Delsin stuff, like CiM works well in my
opinion, even though most people wouldn't consider it West London house. I
think what Dego and others like about it is that it's not one particular
genre...and I'd hate to see it become that (see Garage music). I've read
several interviews with IG Culture and Dego and they think that catagorizing
this "broken beat/West London" house sound is silly. I know it's almost a
cliche but they just play good music. Personally I'm calling it "All Access
3rd Floor house" cuz that's where I heard it first and it's a sh*tty
description that noboby but myself will understand.

would some of delsin's material be considered a derivative of 'west
london'?
From whence it came I do not know, but I can hear a similar direction. I
think I hear a lot of similar melodic edge, but the beats feel more electro
derived to me. Aardvark is doing some simply phenomenal work. The Peel
Seamus material that I have also vears in that direction. You could maybe
throw some of the Lucky and Easy stuff in here too. The CiM, Optic Nerve,
Newworldaquarium and Plasm Nesonic don't really fit into this category.
Unfortunately, I just had my copy of the CD stolen, but I believe there
were
tracks on there I don't have on vinyl that fit this description. Oh! And
the
forthcoming Sandor Caron full length is up in part III of the week 30
archive of Nortroute now. That is a prime example of the similarities
between the sounds. I think each is still it's own animal though. Some of
the beats seem to be more clearly drum machine derived and
Warp-electro-styled than the organic feel of the West London sound. I guess
the Aardvark and Sondor Caron have a little more of that organic
percussion,
and that very well could be the future sound of Delsin? We have a number of
resident experts with more familiarity than me, but I don't have any of
their bias. ;)
