Yeah I moved to NYC last summer, hoping to discover more of the NY dnb scene. What I discovered is sort of strange; the 'family/community' aspect of it is really strong, with shops like Breakbeat Science and Liquid Sky, and at events the seem to spin decent selections of jump-up styl;ed stuff as well as harder tech stuff, but the actuall music produced by the local talent is, well, crap, with the exception of We. I try to like it, but it is weak. I have the DJ Dara CD and would not recommend it at all. The same goes for any Liquid Sky stuff. mu .02 Nate On Tue, 3 Mar 1998, Thaddeus Herrmann wrote: > > > Jose C.
