I would hardly say jungle is over based on one lp. I
think there is some quality stuff coming out from Ed
Rush & Optical, Fierce, Ram Trilogy guys, Photek, and
etc.

I've read that the new Krust promo 12" is suppose to
great. And the J Majik lp has some drum n bass
heavyweights on it. Not to mention the highly
anticipated lp from Matrix, and Dj Die. I think some
wicked stuff is about to come out for summer.

House has been the most predominant music being played
out anywhere i have been in the last 5 years. And
there are 15-20 times more house releases coming out
every week vs non house. Can it really get any bigger?
And would anyone really want it to?

I know it's probably just me, but I would rather hear
the most futuristic alien sounding stuff vs very
common traditional sounding stuff.

I've recently been getting way more into minimal
techno after taking a break from it. Still
occasionally finding some awesome stuff, but you have
to dig.
