AFTER A GOOD COUPLE OF YEARS OF HARD FOOTBALL..... WIMBLEDON - A.K.A "THE DONS" ARE BACK IN THE PREMIERSHIP WHERE THEY BELONG!
VINNIE BACK ON THE SQUAD
EVEN HOLLYWOOD COULDNT KEEP THE NOW FAMOUS VINNIE JONES FROM HIS DEEPEST ROOTS IN WIMBLEDON FC
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister
on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had
peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no
pictures or conversations in it, `and what is the use of a book,'
thought Alice `without pictures or conversation?'
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could,
for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether
the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble<
of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White
Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her............
BREAKBEAT Glory - What's The Story?Is there a year zero with clearly mapped
co-ordinates for the beginning of jungle? When did we first fall in love with subsonic
bass, breakbeats and digital creation? You can trace the raw concepts back to Meat
Beat Manifesto's 'Radio Babylon' or DJ Kool Herc's pre-hip hop invention of
breakbeats. Perhaps you prefer to root the whole thing in 'Amen Brother' by The
Winstons or 'Think' by Lyn Collins - the two tracks that spawned drum n' basses
favourite drum breaks. You can wait until after acid house then travel through the
drug/technology interface into acid, rave and the well documented waves of hardcore,
artcore, Bukem, techstep and darkcore again. Beyond this there is no clear history,
just endless rogue production units swapping names, sounds and identities like militia
working black ops both in and out of ever-evolving micro-genres.
Some say Fabio and Grooverider are the story of drum n' bass yet current darkstar Ed
Rush was turned onto the scene after checking Spiral Tribe play hardcore while the
derided ragga-units worked inside a loop of producers cutting tunes for the pirates
where new sound spread across the airwaves. At the moment ideas move
simultaneously underground and overground, fresh sonics coming off leading DJs'
dubplates, baby label headz signing to majors, new crews appearing all over Europe
and US or the efforts of Bowie and Everything But The Girl to communicate/
emasculate drum n' bass for the global mainstream..............
