Pierre Von Mondragon Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'll check the mix tonight/later, I'm extra curious, as I consider myself one of the previous wave of underground electronic producers (slow wing), and I've been too lazy/self-absorbed to look up any of that biznizz. Good to see people delivering on their ideas, something I've been a bit remiss in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see people delivering on their ideas, something I've been a bit remiss in.hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised man, i sometimes worry that the way we're talking about this comes across as disrespectful to the previous producers in aberdeen who no doubt created some brilliant stuff back in the day. the point is more that not one of us dudes knew a friend, big brother or anything who introduced us to this type of culture & showed us how to get started. we are wanting to just express ourselves and show that anyone can get involved. the rules of club music are changing in certain parts of this country. it's not about house or hip hop or anything getting played straight out in this scene anymore for us, at our nights we play any of that stuff, grime, bassline, garage, house, soul, r&b, rap, uk funky...etc...etc....etc. the lines are so blurred these days.
