I'd like to see a MDMA revival but that won't happen.
I dont get what you mean....Like, as opposed to molly being such a generic term and not being MDMA specific anymore??
As far as the OPs original question, thats a good one. Im wonderin the same.
Its nice to see so many D&B djs/producers on the scene again. I definitely feel like there was a lull with D&B and(the still somewhat scarce) jungle.
I feel like dubstep might have helped it come back a lil by way of:
Dubstep-->drumstep-->D&B.
Footwork/juke is thriving, which is pretty dope. The teklife crew(RIP Rashad) is killin it in that deparment with dj spinn, traxman, rp boo, etc...
Then theres Hyperdub supportin the scene and even puttin out old unreleased dj rashadm(thanx kode9) out of the UK, not to mention japan seems to be enamored by it and started a few labels(through or with support from teklife). Shit, ive even seen they got footwork "dance classes" somewhere in japan.
Footwork has that bboy appeal. Bring your ghetto blaster, or better yet, pop the trunk on the whip with the best system, round up your crew and form that circle....cardboard neet not apply.
Also, LA is is killin it with their electronic sound right now with brainfeeder(among others) and the low end theory shows.
Its startin(well, has been for a min) to gain the notoriety it rightfully deserves.
Its nice to see(just to name a couple) flying lotus and daedelus shinin as bright as they are.
I bought daedelus: invention when it came out('02) and hes been in my great 8 of current producers ever since.
Same with flylo, i bought "1983" when it came out('06--and lost my shit seeing/hearing an amazing daedelus remix to an already amazing track) and he hasnt budged from my list either.
I do know this, Boiler Room has done amazing shit for electronic music/musicians. Having and broadcasting(for free) shows in major cities ALL OVER THE WORLD!?!?
How can you go wrong(from the musician to the show goer to the youtuber) with that??
I cant be the only one that theyve turned on to an incredible number of electronic producers/djs of all genres.
BIG UPS BOILER ROOM!!!!
This is turnin into a ramble..hehehe
Yeah, im curious to see where its goin and what the next phase is gonna be....
