Yeah same, I was only a Gabber/Hardstyle/UK hardcore listener, and same my tastes have completely expanded, but not changed thankfully. I might have a swatch at Industrial Strenth by Lenny Dee as I've never heard of it
Me and Scott Brown go way back

haha, I used to think the guy was the man! I heard somewhere that Boomstick was him experimenting with Gabber, it worked out for him though, it's a great tune.
I'd never heard of The Playah until I tried to link Neighbourhood Crime, and it was mostly The Playah remixes, I'm no going to lie to you, I didn't like the Neighbourhood Crime remix so my opinion on him might be a little biased at first, I'll give him a wee swatch as well though, it can't do any harm surely.
