i would hate to hear rhythym & sound or basic channel shit here.

I hate to say it, but it’s people like this dude that have been slowly pushing me away from jungle in the past few years. The culture has just become to full of ignorant, bigoted, macho, confrontational fools who know nothing about the roots of the actual music.

Here’s the little spiel I give them whenever anybody in dance or electronic music disses r&b, house, rap/hip hop, kraftwerk, techno, homosexuals, black people, white people, reggae, disco, detroit, chicago, rave, EBM, the art of noise, whatever:
“The music YOU listen to is the DIRECT product of (the thing you just dissed)–given, it’s been mixed with a few other things, but it is still ultimately the baby of (thing you dissed). The fact that you don’t realize this only speaks to your profound ignorance about the culture you claim to be a part of. I’m not saying you have to LOVE (thing you just dissed), or even like it, but you need to fucking respect it, and treat the people who do like it accordingly.”

just my thoughts…

In stark contrast to your last “fan mail” i would like to thank the mashit crew for bringing such a diverse range of music to my computer. I really would be lost without you

Keep up the good work!
