Rom is one of the people who truly mastered the Amen break. Remember this one?
Whenever I think of Morphadron, he reminds me of the late Saki Kaskas. He was a huge influence on me and a really cool guy. I remember that I actually PMed him once and he responded, lol, felt almost like fan mail back in the day. :teary eyes:
i didnt know who Ibunshi was, but after looking up some music i think you might be right. i didnt know photek had jumped ship. similar thing to what happened with spor. i still like spors electro stuff (goes by “feed me” in that scene), but it doesnt really get me like his early DnB did.
What’d you think about his “return” album Caligo? Some heavy ass bangers on that one. Feed Me had some really good stuff but it was hit and miss. The Giant Descends on Tokyo EP (or whatever it was called) was really good IIRC. Still nothing beats the Spor albums when he was at his prime. That was some next level DnB when it hit the scene.
Had that perfect blend of bass modulation and thickness before twostep/dubstep came in and swallowed it up and caused all the major producers to shift gears. Was a good few years of heavy175bpm tracks.
i dont think i know “caligo”. i will check it out when i get home. did he label it as a “return album” himself? it would be nice to hear some of the original style again, although my tastes have changed a bit since then too, i still love his old stuff, but i dont cream my pants over it any more.
Indeed it was a return album. He came out with it a year or two ago, after all his Feed Me stuff. DnB has been making a lot more of a come back in the past couple years, I guess he missed Spor and decided to do another. It’s pretty different though, definitely has more of a Noisia influence I’d say. Pretty gritty and evolved with some wonky shit in there. It’s good, not amazing, but good.
