Thank U - John B is the most impressive one i've heard recently. Surely he's got the right (the only) idea - sets where only tech is played, or only 'funky shit' jump-up, or whatever style, they are just fuckin' boring man.
So I agree with what u say about being much more varied, but I don't agree with anyone slagging tech-step - why do people always have to slag things? So what if it gets played a lot, it gets people dancing every time. Just cos its dark don't mean its for pricks. Everyone has a dark part in them & tech-step nourishes this in a positive way - energy & dance.
