whatís in sheffield? I was only there once but it was pretty miserable, like always grey clouds and bus stops and mud puddles. but it does have some music history.. from 80ís synth pop - heaven 17 , thompson twins, and cabaret voltair to autechre and now the artic monkeyfaces.. but theres some mad scene thats been comin up there called niche - named after a nightclub that recently closed.. its kinda speed garage - sped up more and run through some dumb basslines! if u been to uk in the last year - youve heard T2 - heartbroken-  a quintessential track from that scenes sound... its all about 140 bpms and has a 4/4 and pretty much bangs! my dudes bok bok and manara (aka faggatronix - that name kills me) just put it down with whats what in the niche/bassline set right now.. check em out (they are not from sheffield btw)   http://www.myspace.com/faggatronix  01 . intro02 .
