I dunno, of all the big DJs at the time EZ was probably the most diverse, and in a lot of ways his increasing diversity did him no favours - see the massive massive massive drop-off in quality from from the UK Garage Flava comp and the first three Pure Garage comps to the fourth Pure Garage comp. The self-conscious eclecticism actually came across as slightly desperate, like he couldn't find enough tunes to excite him.
I accept the logic of what you're saying but with a lot of these figures it felt like they were only crossing into the scene fully on a track by track basis. Like, "Kinda Funky" became garage through ubiquity, but I don't think of a lot of the rest of the bingo beats discography of that era as garage.
In much the same way that DJ Gregory's "Don't Panic" is honourary UK funky but DJ Gregory isn't a UK funky producer as such.
I totally concede the point on "Incurable Voices" though, and then some. I haven't heard that in so long that I'd forgotten about it but it was a brilliant track. I think that predated "Round The Corner" though, yeah?
Haven't heard "Betcha Did (Landslide Dub)". Who's the original artist?
