does this count as DnB? anyway whats the name of these tracks? I really want the song @5min mark.

I wouldn’t say the quality of music is falling. I’d say there’s an oversaturation of music though, and it’s happening to all genres. Back then you had to buy CDs to listen to music, or you have to wait for the radio to play your song. Now that people get music through other means, it’s just not as special, and internet radio allows you to hear the more unique and obscure tunes too. Oversaturation has it’s pros and cons, I mean I wouldn’t have heard about X artist if it wasn’t for some Y net DJ who plays those obscure tunes. The cons are, you keep hearing and hearing the sick reece basslines, and sick drum programming that you’ll get tired of it, just like you’ll get tired of your favorite food now and then.

And it’s not like you can pick up a sequencer and some samples and start making music over night. Like versus said, you have to keep digging and digging for good songs.

u my friend, are right on teh money

[media=youtube]c8YP5pJOdhI[/media]

if thats drum and base…imma be sucked into this genre hard. i was told years ago i’d really like it…that it was sorta similar to breakbeats but not…faster bpms.

[Zulu]

Someone please suggest some melodic, jazzy, ambient jungle for me if you would be so kind.

[Hoonyo]

does death from above 1979 count as drum and bass? if so i’d like to know if there are any similar duos/bands since dfa broke up =\

I myself, could consider that more of a subtle, or light take on Jungle rather than Drumb n’ Bass.

Hmmm, I’m gona recomend two albums to you but they arn’t exactly what you want by strict definition, but if you’re interested give them a couple of listens. They’re both really classy, tip top stuff. Classified as deep house but both are very melodic, ambient and jazzy at times.

Try:
Ian Pooley - Since Then
Gene Farris - Booked 2

On Booked 2, skip to track 10 for ultra Jazzy, that track is awesome. But yeah, I love the rest of the album as well.

While DFA1979 isn’t classified as d&b, it weans on the style of electro.
With that said…
DFA1979 —> MSTRKRFT (bassist of DFA1979’s lovechild)

No, that’s not even close to drum & bass. Do you know what a breakbeat is?

That doesn’t sound anything like one.

Check out this video on the amen break: http://youtube.com/watch?v=5SaFTm2bcac

i do know what a breakbeat is.

someone said its like jungle.

[Milk_Stone]

You wanted to know if it was drum & bass, and it isn’t.

The reason I posted that link is because a lot of drum & bass (not all of it) is based off of breakbeats (or in particular, the “amen” break).

Jungle is just the original term for drum & bass. Some say it’s the same thing, others don’t–but that song isn’t “jungle”, either. I’m just gonna say it’s pop, 'cause it doesn’t sound like anything else I’ve heard.

is jungle and dnb two different genre’s? if so who do u recommend to someone new to the genre if not…wanna still recommend music?

[Milk_Stone]

It’s debatable, really. I personally think of them as being interchangeable, but others argue that they have two distinct sounds. It’s similar to the Hip Hop vs. rap debate, but I won’t get into that here.

Also, yeah…I’ll edit this post with some artists in a bit.

LTJ Bukem
High Contrast
Big Bud
Aquasky
Blu Mar Ten
Logistics
Cyantific
Nookie
Voyager
Artemis
Doc Scott

I know I’m missing a lot of good artists on here, maybe Senjutsu Sensei can contribute. Also, they sound nothing like the Rhianna song you linked to, so I’m not even sure if you would listen to that kind of stuff…but if you’re open minded, check them out.

Don’t forget Jimpster even though he’s not exclusively DnB.

Goldie
Shy FX
Dillinja
Influx Datum
Pendulum
Adam F
Bad Company
AK1200
Amon Tobin
Aphrodite
Squarepusher
Roni Size (har har har)
Omni Trio
Kosheen
Makoto
Lemon D
Klute
Danny Byrd
Concord Dawn
Nobukazu Takemura

Those are some artists for you to check out. Not all of them are exclusively DnB or Jungle, and not all of them are really something I’d listen to, but I figured maybe others can like artists that I don’t really enjoy. So yeah if you do happen to end up liking any of them, awesome. Freakin Milk Stone typed out most of my favorites already ha ha.

I’m not really one to get down with terminology wars, but I guess the only thing I’ve heard consistently between people who say Jungle is not Drum n Bass is that Jungle is more rooted in the early influences of the genre. Ragga jungle type stuff as some would call it, I’ve heard others say that’s just “jungle”. Soooo I dunno, as long as a song uses a break and sounds dope, I’ll recommend it ha ha.

P.S. Eventually, MilkStone and myself will be added to that list. :wgrin:

[Milk_Stone]

I agree with jungle being more rooted to the early influences of the genre, but a lot of those influences are still in drum & bass, so it’s hard to say.

But good list, forgot about some of those, I really need to get up on more Klute/Concord Dawn/Pendulum.

This is all stuff from 91-92ish. Really easy to see how the sound progressed into jungle and subsequently drum and bass. Tunes like bombscare (which sample an old garage tune) have that simple breaks, synth and bass which became the staple in dnb around 98 when everything went techy (andthe girls disappeared lol). Tunes like Ruffneck business, future sound and funky junky, show the ragga and dub aspect, whilst nebula 2 demonstates sheer noise (in a good way)
