"innovation" is in the same boat as "originality", ie it doesn't really exist objectively, it's totally subjective. > Is it possibly due to an inborn dislike to something that actually > evolves and why the hell should sampling be a problem in the process > of being creative? :) > > As a whole I'd say that DUBSTEP (stupid name, but I like it to be > typed as big as possible ;) ) can be as much enjoyed at home as in a > smoky, dark club. > > Don't fear the future, embrace it.
