I recently did a bit on Drum Machine Technicians (DJ Cue and Eddie Def). I read an interesting interview with them where they pointed out that they noticed a lot of electronic music producers (in the 90s) were playing with hip hop beats but hip hop producers were kinda ignoring what was going on the electronic music community; hence the stagnation that happen(ed?). This is from their point of view, mind you, but i thought it was an interesting point.

The DMT project (only 5 albums) has no hints of hip hop or scratching (the two djs are pretty experienced in the DJ battle realms)..if anything its crazy, chunky beats-very much on the heavier Autechre tip. If you are going to check em out, i suggest the Terminal Illness album. :)d __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
