My street is 3 ft under water because of global warming and Dub Step and UK Funky is the future .. well sort of . 'The one thing that surprises me is the fact that people are still surprised' - Bill Shankly said that and there’s a geezer who was always worth a quote.

No matter how you try and dress up underground music with any new genre name the simple fact is that its all just house anyway. Even the oldest offshoot Techno was really only House and it’s finest moments even today are the ones that retain the basic core principles of Chicago house music. Same as the UK Funky and Dub Step, i fully understand (as someone who has made up more than his fair share of daft new names for house's bastard children) that to keep the youth interested you have to let them believe that they themselves invented 'this thing' and that it had shit to do with the old folks who play HOUSE.

Hopefully some interesting collaborations may come out of Dub Step as it inches itself nearer the traditional 4 x 4 , maybe house producers will steal some of the ideas or vibes of the better stuff back and the sound will continual to re invent itself ...  maybe by Easter well have a Dub Step / Wild Pitch anthem at 115 bpm that will become THE anthem at the WMC  .. maybe
