(Concerning my views on Drum and Bass) Alex Clare changed the way I writhe on the floor.



Drum and Bass, Dubstep, Heavy Basslines and epic drops... I'm not a lover, I also don't understand the difference between them. When my Drum n Bass Junkie housemate asks to borrow my speakers, I swear he can feel the heavy tug of reluctance and resistance I give handing them over, only because I know he will be 'dropping' them heavy Basslines the house at full blast and I will be writhing on the floor in faux pain and real disgust.

That is until a few months ago when Alex Clare played at a local venue. Oh My God. This man had this like voice, and as much as it frustrates me to make this comparison (this may have something to do with the fact the guy ain't so tall and he wears a hat and has some stubble on his face), he kinda struck me as a kind of less pure, coarser but still gorgeously soulful and beautiful Matt Cardle.

Alex Clare layers his voice over some very obvious basslines, technically I should of turned up my nose, but I didn't. I bloody loved it!
