Early House, Detroit Techno and proper Electro none of that shite that hairdressers call Electro these days. Then some Jungle an Hiphop which progressed onto Breakcore and Dutch Hardcore and some Industrial and the odd cheeky bit of Speedcore stuff... Lots of Metal too.

I still listen to all this stuff :wink:

Started MC'ing in 91 at Illegal raves... stuck with it through the birth of Drum n' Bass in 93 through Jungle in 94/5 until I left England in 2003, when I was actually Luke Envoy's MC.. when he was playing DnB. Came out to Indonesia and ran the first Drum n Bass night in Bali from 2004-2005... Moved to Jakarta and kept spitting to DnB until earlier this year. So I think that's about 18 years all told of the breakbeat scene.

This year, finally made the switch to Dubstep as I felt DnB has grown stale. I just started Indonesia's first Dubstep night last month.

I guess that covers it. http://www.myspace.com/thedriftmc

Lots of metal, got into some RJD2 and DJ Shadow before I knew what trip hop was, and I listened to dnb for a little while.

I was a drum and bass fanatic before favoring dubstep. Switched to a different underground basically.

Well I was in a hardcore punk band from 2002-2006 mostly listened to that kinda stuff and classic rock, some metal and hip-hop. then I got into DNB & Breaks in 2007 was hard into that stuff till 2008 when i heard Skream DJ on a huge system.
