Pendulum may be a 'usual suspect' but we see so little d&b that it's worth having something of their quality. Fabio & Grooverider whilst both technically proficient have never done anything special for me, to the point where if i was picking d&b other than pendulum, i'd go the way of hype, dilinja, nicky blackmarket or bunjy, the latter 2 of which are really underrated. |
I could easily provide a similar argument by saying that what Hype is playing these days often is just plain awful, and that other people from True Playaz such as Zinc deserve it more than him musically, but that's not the point. The point is that there are other artists who deserve a slot more than Pendulum based on their previous efforts and previous exposure (or lack thereof).
Seeing as Pendulum already had an EM in addition to being usual suspects (which you yourself discredit artists for in terms of getting an EM), it'd be better with a veteran/new talent that hasn't been featured yet, for which both Fabio and Hype qualify.
I think the main reason for lack of dnb on R1 is due to its sister station 1Xtra, which has nothing but the jamaican/african-inspired styles on rotation (dnb, dancehall, garage, hiphop etc.)
