I've been into DnB since I started DJing in like 1998 or so. It's been so cool hearing the genre progress and change and branch out so much. I'm also ashamed I've never posted in this thread before... So to make up for that faux pas, I offer some mixes I made. These are recent, I have to re-upload my older stuff: All Meat, No Gristle: http://www.mixcloud.com/Killerjunglist/all-meat-no-gristle/ Dread (A Ragga Mix): http://www.mixcloud.com/Killerjunglist/dread/ Playlists are on the website when you stream. If anyone wants the downloads I can post those links too, or you can check the DJ mixes megathread in Musicians Lounge. Also, too add to the track love, I just can't stop listening to People Together by Bachelors of Science and Flatline by TC. I just love how relentless they are. Edit: Punctuation! Edit 2: Also Stompbox by The Qemists is a great track... all remixes that I've heard included. KillerJunglist fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Dec 12, 2010 |

Christ I don't know why I didn't think to look for a DnB thread on SA before. I've been on the fringe of the genre of the longest time. I grew up with the go-to names like Bukem and Photek but reading through this thread has put a few more albums on my to-buy wishlist.

Can somebody please enlighten me as to what the fascination with Spor is? The more I listen to this guy, the more I have to wonder. I know he's a pretty popular guy, so he must be doing something right, but I just can't figure out what it is. I'm not a huge fan of Noisia either, but Machine Gun's a pretty catchy track that I just got into. I figured I could give the Spor remix a listen, and I liked for the most part what I was hearing but I don't understand him. I know very few spor songs off the top of my head, so I may be unfairly judging him, but he seems to do this thing where he builds up energy in the intro... and then just lets it hit the floor. I've noticed this in both his remix of Machine Gun and Kingdom (though it does work well being mixed with Space Time on Nightlife 5). I would liken it to just about to reach orgasm, and then blowing your load too early. Are all of his songs like this? Do crowds like getting pumped up and just to let the intensity drop off to some baseline beat again? I'm lost, and I -do- want to like this guy.

Spor has SOME cool poo poo, but his style isn't varied-within-itself enough, so he gets old after a while. I wonder if he's still doing anything under his house name, "Feed Me"...

Spor used to be much better, went a bit formulaic after Aztec took off (that's still a stonking tune either way). Try some of the older stuff like Dreadnought, Judderman, Lose It etc.

If the drop on Kingdom has no energy for you, then you are broken and you cannot like that kind of drum and bass. Give up and move on and try not to feel too left out. In all honesty I don't know what to say. Kingdom is the epitome of mental, balls-out all-over-the-place energy in d&b and is executed almost perfectly and evidently it just doesn't click with you for some reason. Listen to the other three tracks on the Conquerors and Commoners EP - all very different, and all flipping brilliant. Thoroughly disagree with Neurophonic - Silver Spaceman/Some Other Funk and the C&C EP are some of his best ever releases, with the latter in my opinion being his best work, and both are post-Aztec. Edit: with regards to Feed Me, he has an 8 track EP just coming out on deadmau5's label, so you asked at just the right time. http://soundcloud.com/youfeedme/sets/feed-me-feed-mes-big-adventure-clips

guys check out this dj set from netsky http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vs_ZeMbTAs&hd=1 not because its good (it isnt) but because the mix action doesn't really fit to the actual sound  (you can clearly see it around 5:20 and after)

brathering posted:guys check out this dj set from netsky I got confused trying to watch his actual physical mixing, but then I realised you meant look at the Serato screen, and yeah, it makes no sense. For example his transition from System to Ill Behaviour - the transition happens with only one Serato track playing. So both System and Ill Behaviour were on that one MP3, evidently. This would be excusable if it was a mash-up, but it's not, it's a (fairly rubbish) mix. He then mixes into another Serato track at 6:24 (notice the top one stop moving) but it continues to be Ill Behaviour, with his next tune pre-mixed in (listen to the drums). Secondly, watch the bit from 2:14 to 3:00. The track he mixes out of the Let You Go remix (I don't recognise it) drops when it's clearly on the same Serato deck as Let You Go (the top one) - if you watch the waveforms, the waveform on the deck it 'should' be on goes into near-silence at about 2:44 for quite a while. The camera looks away for a while, and when it looks back at 3:36, the track I don't know is now on the bottom Serato deck and the Vocals from System are being mixed in - apparently on the top deck - and it's all well and dandy until at 3:50 he takes the tune out of the top deck...and both tunes remain playing. I'm pretty sure he has his transitions pre-recorded, and then he matches up the tracks that are the same - i.e., he has 2 MP3s with Ill Behaviour on it: one is an MP3 going from System into Ill Behaviour, and another is an MP3 with Ill Behaviour going into whatever the next tune is. Someone please tell me I'm wrong.

Probably the ones I just mentioned, his remix of Noisia's Machine Gun and Kingdom. Giving another couple listens to Kingdom, I can grow to appreciate it a little bit more. It does actually drop somewhat hard, but far from the "mental, balls out" stuff Anae is referring to. That being said, I might try to find some of his music i can enjoy. I thought I hated Noisia too but Machine Gun is pretty awesome. Same with Stigma. That all being said and done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CS88rYC7as&feature=sub Remix of Tears for Fear's classic, "Shout" by Q-BiK & Djon. I am not familiar with the DJs but I am loving it right now.

All in all Kingdom is alright. It's just not my taste I guess.

Wouldn't be the first Hospital artist to be caught not mixing at all... Mitsubishi was caught playing pre-recorded too. I think it's just because they are producers and not DJs, but the money is in DJing as well and they need to be appearing at events like Hospitality to make any money.

Yeah, hopefully that video is just horribly out of sync. I didn't look at the waveforms, however picking up the needle on a deck means at least one song should stop playing. That clearly didn't happen. DJ edits are alright, but if he's pre-mixing transitions that's just ridiculous. It seems like you'd have to go out of your way to do cheaty mixing like that, but I guess some guys are obsessed with sounding like a mix cd.

It's possible he has a 3rd track playing internally (with an SL3?) Edit: On second look, I'm not convinced this is actually "live". Right when the stage cam comes on, you can tell the waveforms don't line up with the currently playing track. I think it's just a crap edit job where the editor just kind of guessed where the video should go. At around 7 minutes, he cuts out and you can hear a bunch of screaming for the next track, but looking at the audience, I don't see any change in the crowd. chrix fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Dec 16, 2010 |

no criticism on the mix, but is there a reason you label your tracks: "title - artist" instead of the other way around? It looks funny to see Kosheen (Decoder Remix) instead of Suicide (Decoder Remix)

chrix posted:no criticism on the mix, but is there a reason you label your tracks: "title - artist" instead of the other way around? It looks funny to see Kosheen (Decoder Remix) instead of Suicide (Decoder Remix) I think because the program I use to make most of the mixes (Mixmeister... and before anyone criticizes that I want you to know, I'm really cheap) uses "Title-Artist" as the default. The bad habit does spill over to when I label live mixes too... I'm trying to break myself of it but this was an old mix so I used an old playlist. As for the whole "remix" thing I'm still on the fence on whether it should be "Artist (remix artist)" or "Title (remix artist)". Any thoughts on that one? Edit: VVVV this is what I see the most, but sometimes it is part of the artist line. KillerJunglist fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Dec 16, 2010 |
