It seems to me that the mid-90's algorhythms of samplers/software to timestretch is really a huge reason breakbeat was sort of reborn as d-n-b (look at 4-Hero then and now for instance). I like early Squarepusher, that 1st Carpet Bomb 12" and bits of early Chrome and Spymania vinyl. Maybe I'm not listenning to d-n-b..? What is that stuff? It seems different when it is programmed out on drum machines...more personality and variation...? Solenoid xxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx <------+
