Yeah, FSOL and Juno Reactor, two of my old favorites, I'm also a D&B fanatic nowadays, but even then Johnny L and LTJ Bukem are my favorite D&B artists. I was a late bloomer on the whole rave scene... Got into it right before it blew up, and had fun. Then it blew up... And then, I saw a special on MTV where they had a live rave, and of course it was all MTV'ized, and well, after that special I noticed the whole rave scene start to recess. Well, for a few months all the kiddies were out in mass, and everything was getting shut down left and right, and then the original rave-goers stopped, because their underground scene had been spoiled. There are still people around trying to get them together, I'm not sure whether drugs & money are about the only reasons for them (seems like a logical reason to me), but the only club that was doing techno on a regular basis and had some of my friends in their DJing decided to switch to a R&B and Hip Hop like every other club in town, and well, some of my friends were willing to make that shift to keep the cashflow coming, others refused, and still try to throw house-parties and such, but it's gone from underground warehouse parties, to huge crazy outdoor events, back to house parties, and some warehouse parties, I'm not sure if the whole scene will die soon, or if it will stay a rather underground aspect of society, but I had my fun while it lasted.
