biggest regret of my record collecting days was selling my copy of Afronaught – Transcend Me and not buying Victor Duplaix “Manhood” because it took a year for it to come out. Great tracks. Big up to benji b for giving Afronaught the rinse

It’s a shame it faded. I always thought it had more legs and could have gone further.

I still listen to a lot of it, and would get more if there was some good stuff being released. Dubstep meant nothing to me.

yeah, gotta talk about stuff outside the uk…bruk was definitely a world wide thing…

jazzanova especially was an integral influence on a lot of these guys. but also people like ayro, jazztronik, kyoto jazz massive, yukihiro fukutomi…etc.

Nice article Nick. Respect. There where only a few producers because the music was of such a high quality that most other cats did not compare. We regularly turned down demos at Goya because they where not as good as previous releases.

There are probably a lot you missed off. My personal latesh fave was Golpe Duro Colinda, which Orin did for his Puerto Rican album that never came out. It's just one of the best records I've ever danced to.. You should also have mentioned they're trying to close!Plastic People. Would be a sad end. Had so many good night down there at Co-Op..

Anyway, great article, and nice to see it getting some recognition!

Nice to see this important movement given the props it deserves, although the scene died it's reverberations are still being felt whether it's in house, funky, dancehall and more. I'd love to see more of these producers attacking the new genres and adding their production expertise and in a lot of cases musicality to what's new.

I think I missed two sessions when Co-op was at The Velvet Rooms and I hadn't had such enthusiasm for clubbing since I was popping pills and going raving every week in 90/91, it really was special. So many great memories – the whole club singing “Hold Me Down”, baying for another “Transcend Me” rewind, Victor Duplex and BB Boogie live on a cold Xmas eve session followed by a 70 mile drive on a deserted motorway for turkey with the folks and Seiji in particular RIPPING it up regularly on the decks.

Here's three tracks I would have liked to have seen in the list:
Micatone – Run, Seiji Remix (No Zession/Sonar Kollektiv) – simple, happy and catchy as hell
Nubian Minds – Check Da Vibe (2000 Black) – Raw, dark bassline KILLER.
BB Boogie – Tell Him (Laws of Motion) – Great future boogie cover

Huge?! Twas never huge, hugely incestuous if anything. Way up its own backside too, full of arrogant West London posturing and self-importance. Some great tunes, mostly a ton of nonsense, and a repellent smugness.
