The DnB (Drum and bass) Thread

I have that song. So fucking good. Listen to it while chilling at a house party. Or on a system with good bass. I love the first 20 seconds. :tup:

‘Soundwall’ by Dom and Roland is dope too. It’s on the Midnight Club 1 soundtrack.

And I could say this, you are batshit crazy.

No, but for real, I do agree his newer stuff is not nearly as crazy as before, save for some stuff off Ultravisitor, and his newest album, Hello Meow, is almost a step down from what he was doing before, but it’s all still REALLY good and enjoyable. I could listen for days.

I also read somewhere that he actually now puts a timelimit on the amount of time he uses to produce a song, which would explain some things. I hope he gets rid of that self inflicted rule on the next run.

Aphrodite is more of a poppy-DnB kind of guy IMO, but I love his sound. I still bump Aftershock in my stereo from time to time. Favorite track: “Wobble (Stumped Up Mix)”.

Well dudes listen to squarepusher for different reasons… Some guys just like his glitch stuff and others think he actually forms amazing jazz tunes from time to time.

To me he did peak with Hard Normal Daddy, nothing else compares to it but I love Ultravisitor. I just think a lot of his “sound” on the two newest albums is generic and although catchy it lacks a signature to it. I dont find myself ever reaching to hear Hello Everything after i listened to it 2-3 times.

one of my favorite dieselboy tracks is Messiah. i remember the first time i heard it, back in 2001. shit just blew my mind and i met one of the most gorgeous jungle bunnies ever in the jungle/dnb room.

that was the album name i was looking for. glad we agree.
what other idm do you guys bang? been a huge fan of chris de luca, d’arcangelo, ADC, william basinski…so much to name. is autechre any good these days? stopped listening around ep 7 to be honest.

^ Go to www.acidplanet.com and look for Zephyr Nova. He’s outstanding.

Autechre is hot garbage nowadays. I opted to see them one night instead of Prefuse 73 who was playing at another venue (why both were scheduled on the same night at 2 different places is beyond me). Worse decision ever.

Now I have to check out all these artists I’ve never heard of…there goes sleeping.

hey folks if you could name your top ten favorite artists/songs it would help cause I want to download some new stuff :smile:

Hmm, I’m a bit confused, is Drum and Bass a style of music? Or this thread also about playing drums and bass guitar?

Goldie-Timeless

All you need to know.

stuff like LTJ bukem - demons theme

ltj bukem - horizons

Pfm - the western tune

Remarc - andres dream

omni trio - renegade snares (foul play remix)

Artifical intelligence - cays crays (which btw is not old skool)

that’s all i can think of off the top of my head.

Kinda funny somebody mentions goldie it sort of makes me laugh how he’s portraid as some sort of god father of drum and bass, which could really be futher from the truth i mean he had the odd bit when he was known as or part of RUFIGE CRU nothing really outstanding definently not a pioneer same as roni size those two definently rode the crest of the wave because back in the day there were far far better producers djs engineers than those two.
but i have to give goldie credit for release on synthetic hardcore records which was a 4 track EP with the tunes teminator, kemistry, sinister, and knowledge way back in 92 i think maybe one of the most complete eps ever nothing he ever did after never even came remotely close to it.

I like this thread but in a way it sort of makes me cry to i grew up with hardcore/jungle techno being around right at the start also coming from the actual place it was created I know it’s different for you chaps all these artists you mention i dont know lol to me they’re like the the electronic equivelent of good charlotte or linkin park, people like limewax, squarepusher, pendulem, tech itch, CLIPZ, hazard,makoto,logistics i dont know how would you guys say it over there? WEAK SAUCE!!! ok maybe that was a bit over the top you can only like what you’ve listened to and you’re most likely to listen to what is populer.

Hell yea, I have been waiting for a thread like this. I am all about some Hospital Records, especially London Elektricity. Their live stuff is amazing.

lol limewax is weak sauce? then what isn’t? are you talking harder stuff or just ‘better stuff’?

praxis, amputate, ambush, suburban trash these are hard fucking labels. but i doubt that’s the direction you’re talking in.

thats a great track :tup: :lovin:

In no particular order -

1: FX909 - Les Jolies Choses
2: Phoneheads - Roll that Stone
3: Young Ax - Midnight Stone
4: Ive Mendes - Nao Vou Fugir(DJ Marky and XRS remix)
5: DJ Marky and DJ Patlife - Carnaval
6: Redeyes and Kush feat Sks - Closer to You
7: DJ Fresh - Funk Academy

Should be able to find those on soulseek or something. Leans heavily towards upbeat liquid soul vibe with lots of them being Brazilian themed.

Its a genre of music. Ever heard of Jungle? Basically its what Jungle is called nowadays, with the genre aesthetics shifting in a bit of a different direction. But you could call jungle dnb, and vice versa and you wouldnt be totally wrong.

aw dont hate :’( go plastic, ultravisitor, hello everything all have good tracks. red hot car, bonneville, i wish you could talk, iambic 9 poetry, planetarium. also that single exciton is hard to hate!

i guess you can listen to hard normal daddy and big loada all day but he still puts out interesting music imho

Anyone on SRK actually a DJ?

If so let me know what you’re working with! I’ll post pictures of my setup tomorrow, sleep time for me.

all that shit sucks man, sorry. especially red hot car. it all has that tinny laptop sound. i’m not an analogue purist but really all the stuff from 2000-2004 that came out of the idm scene was at least iffy just because people had shitty sound cards. squarepusher’s sound suffered similarly imo. there’s so much better stuff out there than this guy let’s all collectively move on. ;D

Wow I am actually surprised there IS a thread for this as I thought I was the only one amongst others in the upload spot for srk thread. Anyhow, here is my challenge to all in this thread. I HIGHLY DOUBT anyone has the following: dj loxy: the cylon commander and if so, please share. the odds of this hmph, I dare not say but think of it like the lottery. Other than that anyone have any recent stuff of bad company?
