can't believe I've been listening to drum and bass for so many years and only just discovered this, I've clearly been doing it wrong!

on the other hand this is where i started, oddly heard on a trance livestream i used to listen to many moons ago, the DJ decided to mix it up a bit with some london elek.

So true, I've recently been looking through the backcatalogues of artists like nu:tone, logistics, london elek, break, there are so many undiscovered gems out there. I just wish more DJ's would play more of those under-represented tunes in their sets at raves.

D&B doesn't get the quarter of the publicity it deserves. I'd been listening to D&B since the days before MP3.com went corporate, and can't brag about knowing even a tenth of what's out there.
The least we can do is share via word of mouth, giving credit where it's due, and passing what we can on to the next gen of fans.
