Chris Brann, leader and guiding force behind Wamdue, lives and produces in Atlanta. He is in the process of starting a label of his own. His full length on Strictly Rhythm is one of my favorites for the year. the Dallas Austin/Babyface/So So Def R&B hip-hop world is so high end that it is naturally moving into idm territory. Not to mention the overwhelming influence of the mergence of hip-hop and drum & bass which seems to have been fully embraced only in Atlanta. and of course there's my little idm label, Clock Wise. -Carter in atlanta At 01:01 PM 12/18/98 -0500, you wrote: >There's a lot of good stuff coming out of Atlanta: Goodie Mob and Outkast >have great albums out, both produced by Organized Noize.
