Good stuff **u*. I concur the second track is probably a standout. I would've liked it to have developed a bit more of a tight groove, instead of staying all loose and burial like. Everyone's a critic eh.

Drum breaks and Jungle still seem to be having a little renaissance at the moment, if not making a proper comeback. It's weird to hear 20yr old producers making Amen mash-ups, and presumably thinking of it as some kind of super retro sound. I dunno if I can still appreciate it. Years of jungle, then dnb, then all the idm Aphex wannabes pretty much wore out the Amen for me.
I was watching one of those Redbull lectures the other day and they ended up discussing why the Uk dance music scene is constantly evolving, pushing forward, always moving on to the next thing sometimes to a scenes own detriment. Maybe there's a continuity, but it can be rather randomly selective. But it's true a lot of sounds are hot for a minute, then slowly become somewhat pass??. Very few of them can truly stand the test of time. I don't know if this is the case in other parts of the world.
