Anyone kept up with Doc Scott over the past few (10!) years? I suppose his Artcore comp. and The Unofficial Ghost-style tracks (tho' I still love its Alien/Terminator-like gleaming writhing futuroid hardcore mania) were maybe the beginning of the end, but he was a co-founder of Metalheadz and a great producer back in the day. Anyway, I just happened across
his myspace and read this - it reads well, I wonder what his music is like now?
"Big shout to the people who have shown some love on my myspace,
just wanna say that I KNOW i lost my way from late 2003 to early 2005,
playing tunes that i should n't have been playing.
To those people who pulled me up, i say thank you, you know who you are.
Its not a nice feeling to fall out of love with the music you've been involved with since day 1,
its not a nice feeling to loose yourself and forget who you are and what you stand for!
I feel over the last 12 - 18 months ive found out who doc scott is again and ive fallen in love with dnb again, (the right kind of dnb!)
I think everyone is allowed 1 slip up in 17 years?
Anyway, enough blathering, im loving the music again and back in the studio, (strictly rollers!)

Now, if your serious about drum n bass, then this show is a must, marcus (soul:ution radio) bringing you PROPER dnb, not mainstream bullshit, not the crap that is getting churned out by you know who and played by you know who, but real, progressive, mature, dare i say, intelligent, drum n bass.
Whatever the label given, these are THE real beats, the future, remember drum n bass was suppossed to have an experimental ingredient in it, it was meant to be progressive, not stand still, not regress and end up being laughed at because it sounds like fucking toytown music!
We are now considered 'leftfield' within the drum n bass community, we being djs and producers like myself, left of what exactly god only knows!
But, do you know what, if im now 'leftfield' then thats cool because im the happiest ive been as a dj and as a producer since the days of the blue note (and thats over 10 years ago)
just Look at the music being made by marcus intalex, klute, calibre, d-bridge, the rebirth of goldie & jonny l, the new talent of people like dj vapour, lynx, sp & verese, lomax, i could go on and on and on ....
drum n bass is in a good place right now, if your looking in the right place that is?
Keep the faith, fuck the mainstream bullshit and learn to love music again!"
