Why isn't there therefore a Swing category, Hiphop category, > Disco category...etc... I realize you're making a half-assed joke, but I think there is room for clarification... The jungle category basically is for breakbeat based music, possibly danceable? And the house/techno category is for four-on-the-floor based music, possibly danceable? Therefore, you don't need a disco category... And would people like Burger/iNk and Basic Channel be eligible in house/techno? Why not, right? Swing is obviously ridiculous, but I think a hiphop category would be good for next year, emphasis on production... If we define it by slower breakbeats/scratching/electro influence. Which reminds me... Does electro fit into any of the existing categories, or is it on its own? Is it 'techno?" Aimless pigeon-holer Sam > -- > Ben Coffer > http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/ >
