[QUOTE="PEZZ, post: 357261, member: 3744"] What you have to remember is how massive this dance music scene is and how easy nowadays it is to produce something that is actually not very good. It takes a couple of hours to knock something together. You also have to remember that because of the scale of the dance scene in general that you are always going to get shite records. To be truthful you always have. There were some complete nuggets on Trax and as for those Italians… We have also always had people sampling from the past. Sometimes in a good and innovative way, sometimes in a poor cheesy and uninspiring way. It is easy for us to look back at our past and say how these records sampling ‘rock to the beat’ and such like are no good. Maybe to us they are not. Maybe they are introducing to a new sound to these new kids getting into dance via the nu skool route just as Oasis may have got some 14 year olds to listen to the Beatles. That in my opinion ain’t no bad thing. Sampling from the past has been with us for years and will be for ever more. There are classic house records that we all think of as being genuine works of genius – Frankie Knuckles ‘Your Love’ for example it samples the whole of it’s bassline from Electra ‘Feels Good’ on Emergency. I bet when it Your Love came out there were people jumping up and down screaming blue murder at Knuckles for fucking with their music. We are all allowed our opinions and everyone is completely right. Some of the comments on this thread are very interesting. Personally I have come round to liking breaks again after going off it completely toward the end of the 90’s.
