I lived here until '07 then moved back and forth. In '03 when I came down I was surprised too. Shit was popping off. Headliners every weekend. Planet of the drums was in 3 cities in NC in one year.
There was a Therapy Sessions here. Raiden,SPL,Gein, And I was used to a thriving drum n bass scene in Pittsburgh.
It was actually dying down up there but shit was going off when I moved here. I saw nosia, photek, teebee, matrix, optical, dom, hive, gridlok, upbeats, counterstrike calyx, concord dawn, vicious circle etc.
I've been down with drum n bass since i was like 11 or 12. Damian/Dieselboy graduated from my high school. He's a lil older than me but his mixtapes were going around, i had older friends that came up and threw parties with him. I was a drum n bass head from early on.
