i think that's because at it's core dnb is a half time beat
i always feel the half beat when i play dubstep or dnb.
i guess i don't listen to jump up or pendulum though lol. liquid dnb only

i can't deal with anything over 130 for too long anymore.
I never took (illegal) drugs and I also started liking slower BPMs as I got older.
I've always thought this whole "tracks are made for the drugs" thing was a bit blown out of proportion. To some extent some music genres were indeed trying to fit the drugs in the beginning when they came up, but the way the music developed afterwards isn't as much about the drugs.

I'm sorry, but I really can't see it. I think it comes more from looking back at classic trance from the position of being surrounded by contemporary dance music. It can be easy to isolate classic trance and forget that there was so much concurrent stuff happening then. Because there is techno from the early 90s that sounds a lot like current tech-house and similar, much more than German trance does, but it's been largely forgotten.
When I was listening to your Domestic Technology mix, Rob, the thing it most sounded like to me was very early Future Sound Of London. It reminded me of some of the stuff from their first album. There was a lot of similar techno in that era that we largely forget today.
