It really gets me how people go on about being open minded, and then bang on about drumcode and glen wilson (Btw, no disrespect to these guys, I've got nothing against people being into different stuff to me), and dismiss anything that's outside of that as "not techno" or "I don't like that"... fair play if you don't like something, but you don't see me saying "I hate drumcode" at any mention of the swedish stuff.. it's just damn negative, and it annoys me to read it... It's been like banging your head against a brick wall round here recently, saying "Whats going to push it forward" and then dismissing anything thats a break from the norm... no wonder everything sounds the same.....

Richie V: there is stuff about with big booming MELODIC basslines (That can be dark and sinister as well) you need to just search a bit harder to find it, but it does exist....
