Homebass is not just about dnb. At least when it comes to musik wen and i come from two completely different backgrounds, back int ehday he was a brit indy boy, and i was a pimply faced raver. now since we began our little mission to promote all kinds of left feild musik in thailand, and at some point in our nations rave history nobody knew what house, dnb, breaks and techno was. So here we are with our brand new website, all shiny and ready to go, the information is there for those who want to know more about dnb. The problem is that no one seems to give a shit, and even if do tell tons of people about it no one ever seems to want to register! I think its becuz everyones so down with there own “elite” musical clique like IDM, or “INDY” musik and i say this becuz most of the “intelligent dance musik” people that i’ve asked have not even checked out the site, its like they all say dnb is just not happening but when see them at the club getting there freak on it make s me think that they might be in the closet jungalists perhaps. I really do wish that more people will become involved wit the scene and the site. I also hope that some would stop bitching about homebass, i think we’ve come quite a long way and some respect and recognition would be nice. I dont expect much and i ‘m damn glad i’m not part of some “ellite” clique. homebass is never going to be thai electronic scene poster boys, or a authortiy for for the scene, we just want to make sure that everybody has a good time and learns a thing or two in the process. Intelligient dance musick is such a bad name for a genre of musik, and so is indy. i think there are many thail labels that somehow learned how to market those trends and its really starting to get annoying. theres nothing indy or intelligent about the musik that they do, and bottom line it just doesnt rock.
Hey Dragon,
I’ve just managed to surf my way through the Internet and found this interesting comment you posted a while back now.
I’d like to say that I think you are doing a fantastic job of promoting drum & bass in Thailand. I came here nearly 2 years ago and presumed that dnb would not exist in these parts. How wrong have I proved to have been!
I’m a masive dnb fan, I’ve been into the scene since way back in the early 1990′s and followed my favourite dj’s all around the uk as a youngster from small barns in the middle of nowhere to massive arenas such as the legendary World Dance events at Llyd airport.
For me there are very few things that compare to the feeling I get listening to phat drums beating over tough tough bass lines. If I’m still around when I’m 70, I’ll still be listening to this stuff and breaking up dance floors with my zimmer frame…. it’s a love affair!
So far since I’ve been here, I’ve attended each of Goldie’s appearances, LTJ Bukem and Zinc. It was unreal to see those guys here and I’ve got every intention to see Hospital on tour here. Unfortunately my job means that I don’t get to see everybody who makes it here … I work in a software company supporting customers around the world which means I have to also work funny hours (not very amusing for me!).
I only just read about your monthly Hedz sessions …… I simply must look up when the next one is and buy you guys a drink. You certainly deserve it for bringing the love of drum & bass to Thailand. Feel free to drop me a line anytime >> bruffy21@yahoo.com
Stay safe,
Dom
