perhaps the guy was a) excited about talking to carl craig and b) excited about dubstep, and the two happened to converge. it's easy to seem a bit overzealous sometimes when you get excited about music. i know the feeling personally, and to some it comes off as something more insidious than it actually is.

i've met a few people who get all bent out of shape when dealing with some excited newly converted dubstep lovers, and they usually come off as rather jaded and exhausted with the constant super genrefication and NEW NEW NEW but it's really SAME SAME SAMEness of music. i don't really blame anyone for it either. people get a bit skeptical after all the claims of revolutionary new music that ends up being rehashed and regurgitated versions of something else, and when confronted with genuine excitement, sometimes they just mistake it for dubstep proselytizing instead of the dorky music nerd joy it usually is.

just a thought.

Evangelism as an act is inherently annoying, regardless of the 'message'.

Co-sign. Funniest bit is "I like music. I don't care if it's Techno or House or dub reggae or Trance… Ok, I do kinda there."

Carl Craig is a don. Who knows what track he was played? It may well have been shite...

I remember reading somewhere that Derrick May considered jungle/hardcore a 'monsterous mutation' of techno or something like that.

I've got a lot of respect for them Detroit guys, but sometimes I feel they're a little bit up themselves.

I do agree with this in part especially where derrick may is concerned, great dj, great producer but does enjoy a good rant about how they are the originators and so every other producer (especially in techno) falls under them.

I think that is the worst invisible jukebox I have read in ages. I feel like the interviewer was trying to direct it too much. God.. how many tracks did Carl Craig recognise?! None!

um.. Carl Craig can say anything he wants.

Cuz you know he could single handedly walk over anything posted on this forum.

No really.
