My favorite! The NU SKOOL scene is the one I've followed most closely and if you rummaged through my crates you'd find that the majority of my rekkids are of this genre. How would you characterize the nu skool sound? Let's ask BT. BT: "The nu-skool breaks stuff incorporates so many of the things that I love. It takes from electro and hip-hop to elements of progressive house to elements of drum & bass, but it's all at a tempo that Sasha or John [Digweed] or Ali and Sharam [Deep Dish] can play in the context of good deep progressive house sets. That's what I love so much about it. To me, the most cutting-edge music of the last 10 years, the most interesting music, has been drum & bass. What I love about nu-skool breaks is that you have these huge sub-sonic b-lines and editing techniques that you have from drum & bass, but you have them at a tempo which is kind of more palatable to alot of people on the dance floor." Whoa, BT! You took the words right outta my mouth! I don't think I could have said it more eloquently or succinctly than that. I agree wholeheartedly. I just love them bass lines, them sub-bass woofs vibrating thru me, the crisp breaks, man....I LOVE THIS SHIT!
