But not swinging too hard just yet...

Some quick thoughts, and going through my fave mixes and sets from the past few weeks.

A short reflection on the tendencies of modern underground electronic club music with my recommended mixes and sets from March in the spirit of that reflection.

I've go advanced promo copies now, so I go through some upcoming stuff and some unreleased material to see what's on the horizon

Kraftwerk are considered as the forefathers of current electronic music. We go through some works that contain some of the German group's musical elements.

This year has been great for those who like their bass music at high velocities. We go through some great DnB releases, both old school and forward-thinking.

Pearsall's mix of "fresh", "new" Hardcore shows one curious thing: the revival and imitation of an era and genre that actively pushed against those two things.

A look back at the creation of a genre - and the two DJs whose vision and selection contributed to shaping it - through the first two Dubstep Allstars volumes.

It's interesting to think about musical influences, whether it's how a certain genre, artist, scene, or track has influenced another certain genre, scene or artist, and so on.

While some, like me, will decry the ongoing retroism as a force of creative stagnancy, maybe there's something to it, an energy worth preserving.
