paráda, ale uprednostil by som skôr domáce samoštúdium vybraných štúdijných materiálov, pričom priamo na mieste môžeme usporiadať kolokvium.

The first thing to say about this series of seven articles is that they weren’t conceived as a series at all. It was only in 1999, with the sixth piece – “Adult Hardcore” aka “Feminine Pressure”, about 2-step garage – that I really became conscious that for several years I’d been documenting a continuum of musical culture that emerged out of the British rave scene – a specific strand of dance music centered in London with outposts in the Midlands, Bristol and various Northern cities with a large black population. The majority of these articles were very much responses to the current state of the scene, totally of their moment. They were all written – obviously – without knowledge of where the music would go next (although predictions and warnings get made now and then, some off-base and others on the money). Most of the time I’m just about keeping up with the music’s ceaseless forward drive. Often I’ll be using the genre terminology of a phase that’s already ending to describe something that – annoyingly – gets definitively named shortly after the piece ran. The fourth piece – “Slipping Into Darkness”, on drum ‘n’ bass in 1996 – is like that: I refer to ‘hardstep’ and ‘darkcore 96’ but what I’m talking about would soon be known respectively as jump-up and techstep.
