My dude, d&b has been around for over a decade before dubstep became a thing. We are IE came out in '91. I’ve got jungle records that were mainstream in the early 90s, while dubstep didn’t gain popularity until mid 2000s.
Yes, I’ve been into Bill Laswell for ages (Oscillations 1996). I’m not suggesting dnb was new. I’m saying that it was beginning to look like it was gonna blow up and I’d have a ton of fun going to lots of great dnb parties, like Planet of the Drums used to be. Source: also old former raver.
140 introduced me to plenty of good 172. 140 shows are inundated now, need to go to less popular EDM events to find people who are more interested in the music and less in being where the crowd is.
The drum and bass scene seemed like it was just about to take off and then fucking dubstep happened. Sigh…
