Have you ever heard a Jazz Beat? Have you ever heard NY Hip Hop? Have You Ever heard British Rock? Since when does a bassline make the entire beat? So why are you asking me such a stupid question, besides not understanding the context of what I said.

Wow, you just managed to miss my point entirely, spew even more hyperbole AND put words in my mouth in just one post. Well done.

By the way, at the moment working on a track, using a Double Bass to make some twisted and funky Techno

Its coming out sick so far.

lol...you got nothing son.
I already know your argument, and trust me its a waste of time for you to carry it on, especially since your vague question was built on lack of understanding the context of what I said. But i'll throw in that a double bass doesn't have the same attirbutes of a Synthesizer that can pull of much longer attack, decay, sustain, and release characters towards a sound.

Good. Then take my advice and stop spewing ridiculous and hyperbolic praise that makes you look like a Howells/Resident Advisor-fan boy.

First of all, i'll praise whoever I feel deserves it. And next time, learn how to read, learn how to make sense of what you read. Afterall it is an essential skill needed if you want to contribute/communicate to a forum. I suggest hooked on phonics.

Originally posted by Guest I listed 7 genres above that Danny excels in. He is permitted to operate within any of those, just not drum n bass. I know a lot about Danny I'm a superfan. And as a superfan I reserve the right to give an honest opinion about the artist I love.

"Permitted to operate" That was good

I was about to comment on how much I dislike this track, but I just really dislike that Juno sample. Where did they even get that? It sounds completely different than the track on Danny's MySpace

This is obviously more of his take on baleric/disco than it is on drum n' bass. Very well done I'd say, kudos to Danny. I wonder if he used a live drummer or if that's a straight drum machine.

I think placed in one of Danny's sets it would sound great.

This isn't bad at all. Not necessarily memorable, but not bad either. And as many others have said, definitely not dubstep in the least.

I don't see how appreciating a track is, or ought to be, an essential condition for producing a thread about it, given the proper reasons.

In this particular case, this person obviously feels this release is notable due to it being an atypical release for Howell's, in addition to not liking it; it's bringing something discussion worthy to the surface whilst supplementing it with his own sentiments. This sounds like perfectly understandable reasoning to me.

I understand your apparent frustrations with baseless and superfluous bashing, but not everything that goes on here is aligned with that purpose, and I don't think this qualifies given that there is more context to the thread than a mere "I don't like this, and I want everyone to know."

Thanks for input.

Lets say you are part of a collective, group, club night that meets every friday, you don't go to the meeting that week with a record or CD in your hand that you don't like or that you think is shit. You go with the records that you want to show off to your friends so they can enjoy the good shit you are enjoying at the moment. I mean there is so much good music to share with eachother, so how do you find time to share something you personally are'nt interested in, nevertheless questioning an artists direction.

I just think that premptive "trolling" of music and releases is something that EDM culture can do without, from a cultural, ethical, and an economic standpoint. Especially when it comes to eclectic talent like Danny Howells and his newly formed label. If you are going to put energy towards music you don't like, find artists and labels who consistently don't put out good music.

OP is also basically saying that an artist should follow a genre path as his main gripe. And what about a newly building label? Why should a label only release 4/4 music? Maybe Danny wants to build a diverse offering of music, which the OP doesn't acknowledge. Maybe I am being romantic or idealistic of what I'm asking of an online forum, but what I am saying is realistic towards music appreciation culture. We put so much time and energy to finding and enjoying good music, why not work towards a healthy and realistic music appreciation culture that grows and is enriched through sharing good music? I hope you understand where i'm coming from.
