and then offshore recordings came in to save the day. 2004 drum

Ah, my LA homeboy Pieter K is on this. No wonder it's good :)
just was listening to dieselboy's old 95-96 tapes last night, the
stuff that got me into jungle and dance music in the first place.
that stuff is just so brilliant.
Yup. I remember the early days of Jungle, where every record
seemed like it was "The snares! The snares!!! MAKE IT STOP!".
The MC's that would ... never ... shut ... up ... ?
It drove me crazy, hated it. Tech-Step? Sawtooth waveforms?
Dark, heavy bass? Less snares, less filling? Yes please.
and yes, i blame angry white people for techstep.
This I don't get. I don't recall any all-night frat-boy Tech-Step
parties in LA, just people like Ed Rush, Optical, Dom, and so on
coming through town fairly regularly (LA may be lame, but it's
always been a big D'n'B town), and a lot of good parties. Maybe
it's a regional thang ...
