Friday 5 (VIP Special Edition)

"Machete VIP" - DJ Hazard
"Timewarp VIP" - Sub Focus
"0121 VIP" - DJ Hazard
"Mankind VIP" - DC Breaks
"Hovercraft VIP" - Zen

Yeah, I know Hazard is in there twice, but I really like both of those VIPs a lot.

I'm sitting out this Friday 5 because I can't name 5 VIPs off the top of my head that I've really loved, but if you guys post quite a few, I might remember some that I'm forgetting :shobon:

gently caress, I knew Timewarp VIP would be taken asap, and sure enough - first post. Haha. Goes to show how great of a song it is. Let's see if I can assemble 5 then.

"Tomorrow's Another Day (VIP)" - Netsky
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mpjNrwfDvI
I like this one more than the original. Really an awesome song, and shows off Netsky's talent. Probably a top 5 track from him in all honesty.

"Dem Na Like Me (VIP)" - The Qemists ft. Wiley
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuxjfByJaBY
I don't know If I really like this more than the original - this is a lot more different than it. Both are awesome tunes though. This one has a lot more actual drum and bass feel to it, I think.

"The Edge (Futurebound's 2010 VIP)" - Matrix & Futurebound ft. Sylo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYRp6o72WMQ
I am pretty sure I like this one more than the original also. I'm a big fan of lots of poo poo both Matrix and Futurebound put out, and this mix is just awesome.

"Lost Heaven (VIP)" - Camo & Krooked
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-mLcZSWaLA
Camo and Krooked are one of my favorite production duos (right up there with Matrix and Futurebound), and this is a great song to illustrate why. This is just a sweet song that gets you going.

"Kick Snare (Drumstep VIP)" - Chrissy Criss & Youngman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73moEfM0pG8
I was a little hard-pressed to come up with a 5th track that I really liked, but this is an awesome drumstep song. The original is dubstep, so the VIP is a lot better.

Mine are a bit older:
  • Black - "Black (V.I.P. Mix)"
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tccJvqcsE

    First VIP I ever knew of, got it on an album the very first time I went to buy records. Every mixtape I got in 1996 and 1997 seemed to have this, custom version for each DJ. A VIP of this, and a VIP of "Super Sharp Shooter". I still haven't gotten around to making a version for myself for fun, using LL Cool J's alphabet song.

  • Everything But The Girl - "Blame (J Majik VIP Remix)"
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zh9mhXUHsE

    I am a sucker for the backwards vocal and that mid-range. Totally influenced by the Virus stuff that was coming out when this first released. J Majik at his best, IMO, although he has a single coming out on Metalheadz soon that really taps in to his old style, which I dig, hard.

  • Break & Hydro - "Breathless (VIP)"
    https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/225773/The%20Myth%20/%20Breathless%20%28Break%20VIP%20Mix%29

    I wish I had more of this hard, yet dreamy sounding dnb.

  • Dieselboy - "The Descent (Phunckateck VIP)"
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-TI372Q9NY

    Hard, ravey, epic build up. I was friends with a bunch of the Phunckateck guys when they did this, had it on dubplate for a while. Still love it.

  • Digital & Spirit - "Void (VIP)"
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbAk2oaWNxE

    I don't know if I like this more than the original, but it is all about the vocal sample and the "booon, BOOON BOOON BOOON, baaan baaan baaan" stabs. I need to find a 320 of this, or do a better job of ripping my vinyl, because I would play this out for years & years from now.

My Friday 5 VIP tracks:

Bungle - 25th Floor (Marky & Bungle VIP)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woFe3JoSs6k
VERY driving dnb, I drop this on the regular. Also has some of my favorite drum programming. You just can't gently caress with DJ Marky.

Ram Trilogy - Screamer VIP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB5_IamXOlI
Epic. All the way around. I'm surprised this wasn't already listed.

DJ Roots & TheEgo - Sorriso De Flor (VIP)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMPdAkaV9JY
True sleeper. I have the original on vinyl, but in 2007, I heard a lot of this VIP. It's a shame DJ Roots doesn't still make music. This is a heater.

Logistics - Colour Wheel (K.Tee & Friction VIP)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXJXELumCCY
Fairly new, but this'll be in my crates for a while. Nice balance of dark and light in this one.

Q Project - Champion Sound (Total Science VIP)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlQ2j8gZ_Zw
Proper classic. Nuff said.

Catherine Wheel is probably one of my favorite music tracks ever. I don't know what it is about this song it just gets me so loving hyped up and wanting to dance. I'm also a late listener like Rageholic Monkey and started with the Human Resource so what are some more songs like Catherine Wheel?

If you don't already have it, check out Clockwork by Stakka & Skynet. One of my fav. DnB albums of all time.

"The Plan That Cannot Fail" - London Elektricity
This track is fresh off the "Elektricity Will Keep Me Warm" Ep, and I can't quit listening to it. It's really melodic and I love the piano in it. I don't know a whole lot of London Elektricity songs, but this is definitely amazing.

It's in the same vein as his last two albums, Syncopated City and Power Ballads, so I'd definitely recommend checking them out. The A side, however, seems to be quite unpopular - there's nothing going on melody-wise for the student cheese brigade such as myself, yet the "heads" (cringe) don't like it either for the most part.

I'm still really interested in his new album though, entitled "Yikes!" (cringe again) and due out next month.

I absolutely love the A-side. Understated, delicate, it's brilliant. Where's this negative feedback? :(

Edit: just found the thread on DoA. Ignore it. It's DoA. They're a joke on the internet for being hilariously negative.

I mentioned last week I had records for sale. Well, I decided to just eBay them in lots of 10 pieces of vinyl, as they are promo copies mainly and I just want to get them out of my place ASAP.

All of the auctions start at $0.99 with no reserve, so if you see something you're interested in, bid on the lot, you might get it for pretty cheap and have 9 records that are useless to you & you turn in to cereal bowls:

Weeell I haven't got a chance to listen to everybody's tracks, but some of them look pretty good so far. I think I'll just pick 5 tracks I have been listening to lately.

"Mindslicer" - State of Mind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgWNACvRIIA
An older song, but I just got into State of Mind a couple weeks ago. This is probably one of my favorites off of their first album.

"Brave New World" - Futurebound vs. Metrik
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a450pPT8xe0
This is a brand new track from the guys at Viper and I love it. Metrik and Futurebound are 2 of my favorite DJs, and this goes to show why. I'm not as big on Sabotage (the second track to the single), but it's a pretty good track too.

"Space Between (Vocal Mix)" - Loadstar
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COiYC7mmRZI
This is a pretty new track also. I really like the vocals in it I guess - different from most drum and bass tracks. Loadstar are pretty new I think, but both this and BLVD seem to be a pretty big deal these days.

"Feel So Free" - Smooth
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S-y9GoUMV8
I like this track a lot also. I think Smooth could be pretty big soon - maybe when he releases his first album. He's got a lot of promise I think. Viper continues to throw down awesome tracks all of the time.

"The Gatekeeper" - DJ Fresh
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnZlG8UUJwY
Don't know what to think of this so far. I'm not into the whole Jungle thing as much as a lot of you others in here. I like the newest in drum and bass usually, but that is me. I think this track is pretty cool, and will probably pick up the Future Jungle EP anyways.

Pendulum - Blood Sugar

Speaking of tracks with vocals, Subfocus's new track with Coco Sumner is a decent effort. Still not up to his normal standards... in my opinion, but I do like it. (The Rusko remix is ok, too.)

Subfocus - Splash feat. Coco

I missed the Friday thing! Tracks that are older but have never left my box (no particular order):

London Elektricity - Round the Corner (Origin Unknown Remix)

Dom & Roland - Can't Punish Me

Subfocus - Juno

Ram Trilogy - Titan

Ed Rush & Optical - Funktion

All on vinyl as well. I don't play MP3s.

In all fairness, Splash is not a new track. It came out on his self-titled a couple years back, granted it did not have Coco singing on the album version. I like it pretty well though. I had no clue Coco Sumner was actually Sting's daughter. That's pretty cool since I love Sting & The Police.

I've always had an affinity for D&B, but only just recently started going to shows (my first was Hospitality Oxford last month). So far I'm enjoying the more Liquid Funk side of things but I do like the odd darker track now and again. DJ Hype, Total Science, and Twisted Individual are the only names at this event that I recognize, but hopefully it will be an interesting show all around.

Shows how much I know, I've been out of the loop for ages. I think when his album came out I only heard the vinyl cuts, and as I recall Splash wasn't on them.

For this ragga one coming up, how much MC needs to be on it because this will definitely be on that list if so.
