You have know idea what you're talking about. First of all dubplates have nothing to do with "controlling" the scene - whatever that means. It's about playing out a set that nobody has heard. Second, dubplates are hardly ever released on labels. They're pressed up played out and maybe in another year they'll be released on some white label. As far as your journey: You should start listening to the state of the art dnb unstead of Bukem,Grooverider and Fabio. Who haven't done anything "logically progressive" in a long time. Cheers.
