A different topic
I've had just about enough of this "my tracker vs. your mpc" & "which sampler emulating drum machine should I buy?" crap for today, so if you're interested maybe people could talk about the different musical scenes happening in your little corners of the world.
LA's (my home-town) only hope is jungle, Roni Size came with live musicians and all of a sudden industry people and promoters want to give support. The kids have hard-step, the bigger kids have DnB, and everybody knows it's more fun if you're not too faded. But then it seems so played out in the UK, I feel insecure about giving to much to it. I mean, we want to do whatever feels and sounds good to us, right, and not go jumping on whatever bandwagon's blowing up, but I've only been making jungle plates since last Autumn and am nowhere near established enough to be on the forefront of the wave in America.
So is it really as bad as you Brits make it sound? 170 bpm on laundry detergent commercials? or is that only with the cheesy Metalhedz-LTJ Bukem-Reprazent crap? How 'bout in Germany and Sweden, or is it still just all about the Riot and rockin' dem block-beats?

Yes, it depresses me.... Every car commercial I see has a break..... I counted yesterday, and 7/10 of the commercials had either a break or a bump-bump-bump and about half of those had a 303......

What the fuck are you guys crying about?The simple breaks you hear in advertising aren't even the same kind of music that you all are talking about.ie.dnb,breaks.The music that you hear,or feel,when you go out is of a totally different caliber.That jingle shit doesn't represent the dance scene it represents the commercial advertising market.A well produced track is a thing of emotion and bueaty where as a jingle is something to keep your brain from slipping into acoma while you waste away your time watching the tele!!

err, that BMW Z3 big beat jingle always gets my toes a-tappin' ;)
It's like the hippies, they thought they had something new and exciting and rebellious, and look at rock 'n roll now. Keep me out of that loop, thanks.
Rare grooves clubs have been poppin' up mad around here, too; probably a reaction against the popularity of "electronica" (i.e. big beat) in most clubs. Good live scene, there.
