at the Dub Wars dubstep thing at Avalon (moved from rothko...). anyways, dude could not have been cooler and was incredibly enthusiatic about dubstep and new music in general. he had a camcorder and was filming the crowd and the dj's... nice to meet an older cat whos tastes didn't freeze somewhere around 1990...

    HANK SHOCKLEE KNOWS THE DEAL!



    kidding...

    it essentially sounds like drum n bass w/o the double time "amen" samples... so, slow heavy hard electronic version of dub... when it hits hard w/ the basslines, it's the heaviest thing you've ever heard...

    no, at Avalon (i.e. the limelight)... i said i SHOULD have asked him about Swizz, we did discuss how pigeonholing and labeling music is wack and the old quote that there's two types of music "good and bad"...

    Did you thank him for sticking it to the man at sample law debates? I really enjoy listening to him speak on the subject.
