"Trance is basically house
   music (it's sometimes
   referred to as "epic" or
   "progressive house"), but
   with an emphasis on
   hypnotic rhythms and
   pretty melodies"

H The way I see it, trance is basically Electronic
Body Music wearing the emperor's new clothes !!

Yes yes, but E-Type is very famous over here and
Sony Music Europe is definately down with him.
If you want a cheesy remix, E-Type is the man!

I'm not really into cars at all - sorry !

E-Type is the name of a horrible, long-haired euro-dance
producer who had a few MTV hits last year. One must
assume that 'E-Type Mix' means that he did the remix.

I can't see why it is so hard for some people to admit
that Chicks On Speed suck. They suck. Period. I went
to one of their "concerts" once and they stank up the

I heard this wonderful record yesterday by a Rashid-Salam and
Mad Mike himself called "D' Old Skool Dances" (Zero Degrees, ZDR001).
It's a very simple 808 drumbeat with a few sampled chord stabs and
som silly vocal samples that go:
"Jit jit jit
 Smurf ... Smurf"
 Errol Flynn  Errol Flynn"
 Schoolcraft ... Schoolcraft"

I would love to hear from some of you Detroiters how
these dances look. Errol Flynn ?? Schoolcraft ???

Sv: (313) The Dubplate Thing

2000-02-21 Thread electro
Ahem. I really hate to take this any further, since it's totally
off topic. However, this is straight up BS... In the British d'n'b 
scene it is customary that almost all releases are distributed on
dubplates to the dj's who control the scene a few months before
they get a commercial release. It is a well known fact that
it is virtually impossible to break through as a drum'n'bass DJ
in England if you don't have these plates, and if you're not
down with Goldie and Grooverider you won't get them.

Sv: (313) Deep/Minimal Techno DJ's

2000-02-19 Thread electro
I heard Doc play in Sweden a couple of years ago and I also
did an interview with him. He was good at giving interviews
but a pretty mediocre DJ. Unfortunately it seems that the
only drum'n'bass DJ's who do trick-mixing and scratches
and stuff all belong to the cheasier category. For instance,
DJ Hype (True Playaz) is a great DJ but his taste in music
stinks. Straight jump-up all the way.
But I guess all that is off topic, so I'll shut up now :)

That would be the 'Angry Electro EP' on his own Bass

he stopped doing bass records.
