Emile and I used to shop at Big Apple in Croydon, and it's interesting seeing all the little whippersnappers who populated the shop in the days when you could buy a Chain Reaction record in there (the shop changed hands a few years ago) now being big names in this genre, such as Benga and Hatcha (real name Terry). Arthur Smith, who recorded as Grain, is one of the key influences in this techno element. His Red EP is still my favourite record...

Don't get me wrong, I like some of it a lot but it got hyped up as 'the new sound' a few years ago. Kind of reminds me of getting into drum and bass when it started and thinking it was a totally original sound, nowadays I still love the early D&B but I realise how massively influenced it was by Detroit techno. Still, it's nice to know that some of the local youth (I live in Croydon) are indoors making tracks instead of out muggin' old ladies ;) E On 10 Oct 2007, at 12:01, Robert Taylor wrote: > Tony Thorpe's making dubstep now > > > Rob Taylor > VT Librarian > x8599 > Hatch Desk x1088 > VT Library Users' Guide > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mann, Ravinder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 10 October 2007 11:48 > To: Martin Dust > Cc: 313 List > Subject: RE: (313) Re: Dubstep Geneology > > Haha big up all Granddads in the House . . > > Id be interested in any old timers take on Dubstep production, how far > back would the influences go ?
