Absolutely same as mate - there was a Spring Heel Jack set (I just remastered it to MP3) and its an amazing set but Navigator fucks the whole thing up completely with his sub-dancehall bollox. There's others too - a guy calling himself 'Remmy-D' on some One Nation tapes who can't even speak English properly, and MC Bassman who just goes 'fuckin fuckin' all the time and sounds like a heroine addict on a downer. !!

I had absolutely superb Peshay and Andy C 1 in the Jungle tapes ruined a few years back by 5-0 wittering on out of time about his new expensive pad and how much green he has. People should listen to themselves sometimes.... Its OT and not production and I'll leave it at that, but had to say it 8) Dan -----Original Message----- From: Terry Morgan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 30 January 2003 17:32 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: high contrast sucks No, I'd say there is a lot of diversity in the UK but you have to look hard for it. It differs a lot from area to area. An unfortunate thing that seems to have happened recently is that as UK Garage has slowly started to die, a lot of the "undesirables" have turned their attention back to d&b. Hence the sudden MC thing and we've got a situation now where MCs headline events and not the DJs. Which IMHO, is fucked up. Every little tracksuit bottom/burberry cap/hooded top wearing chimp round my area thinks they're an MC now. And they're shit. Last Saturday, I played alongside Goldie and within seconds of certain tunes coming on, I was surrounded....gimme the mic, gimme the mic....fucking wack. So I played some liquid funk and they all pissed off to the garage room, next door ;) Also, I've noticed that on this list and on production forums theres a heavy bias towards techy, heavy tunes...check out dogsonacid for instance. >From: "Andy Abang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: high contrast sucks >Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 08:56:58 -0800 > >OK so i never really peep mixes or anything online as I only have net >access >at work and none whatsoever at home.
