i think quite a bit of breakbeat stuff i hear is blatent bootlegs of early 90’s tunes :rolleyes:

there’s a lot of other music, esp techno/electro that is made from new sounds but it’s still being created within roughly the same boundaries as several years ago IMO

maybe that’s inevitable if it’s a winning formula which becomes the theme tunes of our time?

but as i’ve said on other threads, i think some more live input from live musicians could bring some fresh ideas about what constitues dance music 🙂

but i agree some reinvention is needed… young / fresh blood is the way that’s likely to happen

so how to encourage wider participation / involvement of people with musical ideas different from the tried and tested is something worth thinking about
