aha! yes, dj time and misjah, now THAT was hugely storming epic of a track that PUSHED the boundaries of what dancefloors would accept, massive, pounding, self-aware track that had the bollocks to take every that bit further than they knew it could all go...
That was cutting-edge, that was the point, it was music for a dancefloor, music that took a stand.
Compare that to the padestrian 'progressive' that's NOT progressed at all in the last 10 years, never really getting into top gear, same old pallete of swishy stabs and over-engineered percussion, breaking no boundaries, saying nothing to anyone about anything except "this is music to dance to in smart clothes, then go back to your office job on Monday with your reality tunnel perfectly intact".
Bullshit. Turn it up, fuck the rules, twist the motherfucking sense out of your sanitized suburban world-view kick it up and down the club and dump you back down again, sweaty, smiling and breathless. Anything else is a waste of everyone's time and a lot of people's money.
Digweed is the Dave Matthews of dance music, even though when I met him he was a nice bloke.
There. I said it.
