East Coast Underground
[Edit.]
Hey guys, it would be cool if you could take the time to check out the website above.
It's basically a member profile site detailing the individuals involved with East Coast Underground, a group of DJs and MCs from the east coast of England.
I promote them and their events, put together their sites (including the one above) and generally spread the word.
They play mainly drum n bass, some jungle and a bit of breakbeat, so if you're into that kind of music please feel free to listen to the tunes that we've uploaded (and download them if you wish) and leave any comments and suggestions you may have.
Also, if you're in the east coast vicinity, it would be great if you could make it to one of our up and coming events. We've had a few and they've been really promising so far. 2006 is turning out to be a very successful year!
Thanks

Come on... opinions are very welcome and I know there's a whole bunch of you out there with plenty to say
EDIT: Just to let you know, there's no sneaky registration process, you won't be automatically signed up to any kind of newsletter or promotions con, all I would really like is some feedback on the site itself such as the layout and navigation, and also for the music critics out there to take some time to listen to the multitude of tunes which have been created by one or more of the members of ECU - comments and suggestions on these are most welcome also

I prefer music with substance. So this site is not my thing at all. "This site in no way represents the music taste of east coast England" should be slapped right at the top of this thread... Because if it does represent the tastes of "East Coast England", I'm sure as hell moving out.
Not only that, this thread is just spam, you should know better Syren.
I am not driven by people’ s praise and I am not slowed down by people’ s criticism.
You only live once. But if you live it right, once is enough. Wrong. We only die once, we live every day!
Make poverty history.

In response to this, the site was never intended as a representation of the musical tastes of eastern England. It doesn't state that anywhere on the site, the sole intention of the site is to make this genre of music more available to those who perhaps don't have easy access to events and the like. Everything on the website is provided for free; the downloadable tunes produced by the group members, the information regarding up coming events, the guestbook where we would like to hear feedback, the mailing list, everything.
As for it being spam, I asked permission. I am guilty of bumping the thread multiple times but I was unaware this was against the rules. Obviously all I wanted was a little feedback, so thanks §P0oONY

How would you define grime? The boys who make up ECU like grime, gabber, UK Hip Hop, drum n bass, jungle, hardcore and old skool, just to name the basic genres.
I suppose, for me, anything with a heavy, dark bassline and fast-paced 'spitting' works. Certain types of UK garage as well, 'Boo' by Sticky (with Ms Dynamite) and stuff by Dizzee Rascal, would you consider those to be of the grime genre?
As for the music we generally provide, it's Drum n Bass. Have a look at the website and listen to some of the tunes if you have the time, see what you think
