exactly. I find theres so much shit out there that is basically jungle by numbers. boring, uninspired, head up its ass jungle.
yeah, more producers means more styles, more tunes, more fans, etc., but flooding the market with too many sub-par tunes isn't very good for the music.
Its great that there are new producers out there, coming from all over the place, but fuck, there needs to be some quality control on this shit! or maybe if the record buyers would just be a little more choosey in what they buy, instead of always picking up the latest(insert popular label here) release, producers would have incentive to make GOOD tunes. Tunes that stand the test of time, unlike 85% of the music out there now. Most of the tracks coming out seem to be practically throw-away, good for a week or two, then move on to the next track.
I'm not blaming an invasion of newcomers for this, really, veteran producers are just as guilty of putting out music that took them 10 minutes to make, because they know their name sells, and their label sells.
Then again, i'm really no expert on the subject at this time, as i have hardly listened to drum&bass for the last year or so. But my reasons for not listening to it are directly related to what i wrote above.
