I don't know about that -- I listen to drum&bass DJ's a lot, and I think there's been a real glut of records that all sound the same, because they "work on the dance floor." Get a two step beat, add some crappy Korg M1 pads, make a wobbly bassline, and all of a sudden you're a star. Sure you can dance to it, but there's been a trend away from using dynamics and inventive drum programming. The 'drill&bass' guys (who ironically, are most inspired by old school 'ardcore in their manic drum programming) are at least putting some effort into their tracks.
