The next issue plaid is on the cover. In countless issues they state that jungle is dead. Then they have a large story of grooverider and say how great his music is. By the way that story was put out when his CD came out <coincidence?>. They are into the flavor of the month. Jockey slut, though not a perfect magazine by any stretch (www.urbandsounds.com is way better) reviews what just came out for that month that is somewhat attainable (like I said they reviewed markant, gescom and a host of others). As for keoki, they regularly pan the guy. As for britpop you have the wrong mag. Get your facts straight. -daniel (the last I will say on this)
