The strange thing is that there's an odd mini-clique of ex-ambient people involved in booty bass these days - Ed DMX, for example, who's put out a few DJ Nasty records on his label, also used to work in Ambient Soho, and Andrea Parker is a kind of alumni of the whole scene as well (album out on Mo'Wax - need we say more? :)
I fully expect to enter a club one of these days to find Mixmaster Morris in his shiny silver suit up on stage blasting out Aaron Carl's "Down" - at +8!
