That sounds like it would fit right in on Netsky's new album, and like his new album, I don't care for that remix too much. The Fred V & Grafix remix, on the other hand...

So I just picked up BSE's new album From The Shadows and I'm absolutely loving it. I had mixed feelings about their last album (Lights And Wires): it had some good tracks like Inpeak and Extraction but overall the album came across as being sort of experimental. With From The Shadows BSE have gone back to their roots and stylistically the album is much like Cruel & Unusual and Endangered Species. At the moment my favourite track has to be All Is Lost (BSE Feat. Thomas Oliver & Youthstar). The drop on that track is insane.

While we're on the subject of new albums here's a couple of my favourite bits from DRS' recent effort, titled (with tongue firmly in cheek) "I Don't Usually Like MC's But..." Count To Ten (feat. Enei) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm5gB3Yk9hI Enei's a bit hit and miss for me but this really hits the spot. Keep The Faith (feat. Calibre) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Dk50T033vg Standard Calibre fare. The album's fairly dark and gritty as a whole but it's well worth giving a listen.

Count to Ten and Renegade are pretty much my favorites off the album. Count to Ten took some time to grow on me, but I really like it now. The new BSE album is my favorite though. Just so many huge songs. All is Lost (previously posted) is definitely my favorite, but Dawn of a Dark Day is a close second for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAhabqiaL50

My only past experience with Foreign Beggars is hearing them on Skrillex tracks, so their parts sound kind of goofy to me  Everything besides that is amazing, though. BSE hasn't lost a beat. They've still loving got it. Track is huge. I need to grab the full album!

Rageaholic Monkey posted:My only past experience with Foreign Beggars is hearing them on Skrillex tracks, so their parts sound kind of goofy to me Well at least BSE didn't feature MC Dynamite on any of their tracks. I've only seen him feature on one track, High Contrast Feat. MC Dynamite - High Society, which in my opinion was terrible. Honestly one of his lines is "Fly to the moon / came back with a spoon"... IN OTHER NEWS the line up for the popular NYE gig in Western Australia, Origin, has been released:  It's a pretty good line up and I'd love to see Chase & Status, Ed Rush, Dillinja, Sigma and Metrik however overall it seems a bit underwhelming compared to the line ups they had in 2011 and 2010. I am digging the change in venue and that it spans two days instead of just NYE. Belvior Ampitheatre where they've held it in previous years isn't exactly an easy place to get to/from so being able to camp out is cool.

After a long hiatus, Spor finally released some new tracks: Ziggurat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyQMBPpDXv4 Push Me, Pull You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9TlfZneGkk I don't think it's nearly as good as some of his older tunes but it's great to see Jon Gooch returning to Spor after spending so much time on his Feed Me stuff. Hopefully we'll finally see a Spor album release in the near future after it was promised this past August. Even if it would contain mostly his unreleased stuff from the past, it would still be one hell of an album.

Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly, but I remember Spor's older stuff being much dirtier and grimier, which this is not  I mean, I still liked both of those tracks, but if I hadn't been told it was Spor, I wouldn't have known it was him.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly, but I remember Spor's older stuff being much dirtier and grimier, which this is not You're not wrong about Jon Gooch's earlier releases as Spor being a lot dirtier and grimier. In his pre-Lifted Music days (2004-2006) he had several releases under Renegade Hardware, Barcode and Subtitles which were all a lot darker and, IMO, consistently good (Some examples would be Three Ravens (Barcode), Haywire (Renegade Hardware) and Powder Monkey (Subtitles)). Following the launch of Lifted Music with Chris Renegade in 2006 I've found Spor's releases have been a bit hit-and-miss. He still released a lot of great tracks in that time (The Supernova EP was excellent) but I've found some of them to bit a toned down and, for lack of a better word, generic. More recently I think there may have been somewhat of a falling out between Jon and Chris Renegade, based on some off-hand comments Chris made on the last Lifted Music podcast (Episode 19, 28/04). On the other hand I'm probably just mis-interpreting the whole situation...

I'm kind of bummed that Spor isn't doing the podcast anymore with Chris as I enjoyed their casual banter.

I've heard this one on DI like 3 times in the past week or 2 and I cannot get its bassline out of my head. Angus & Julia Stone - Yellow Brick Road [Delision Remix] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8sjKZTF2Ck It's all reeeeeally chill if any of you are looking for new chill drum n bass tracks to add to your repertoire.

Then I was super disappointed when I listened to them and they turned out to be a Feed Me tune and Aztec 2: Aztec Harder. They aren't bad, just not what I was expecting when I saw Lifted + Spor. Are there any other podcasts that play similar stuff to the Lifted podcast? Techy/neuro kinda stuff.

I don't really listen to many D&B podcasts (And I really should, any general recommendations would be great) but you might like the Neosignal Podcast which is usually done by Phace and Misanthrop (Unfortunately their most recent release, Episode 5, is from back in April).

This may be a really inappropriate place to ask this question, but are there any DnB producers/artists that make sort of old school sounding drum and bass where the production is literally focused mostly on the drums and the sub bass? I try to listen to a lot of new Drum and Bass but I find that most of it sounds insanely aggressive when I really like to hear some more minimal poo poo.

I think studio gymnastics are cool, but I do still like the basic beats with deep sub-bass. Culture Shock usually does pretty well with that when he produces on his own. I really want to get back (and back DJing clubs if I could) older styles like Matrix or older Ed Rush & Optical.

I can't really think of any artists that fit your description of purely drums and sub bass focused production (I'm someone else can). However if you want some more minimal/downtempo D&B check out Calibre, Krust, Roni Size / Reprazent (Specifically the album "New Forms") and Goldie's earlier works like the album "Timeless".

Oh yeah, I've listened to all of those too but thanks. Hopefully there's one out there that plays similar stuff but releases more frequently! Audio has just released another album on Virus. I've only had a chance to listen to it once through but it's cool, a bit less aggro than Genesis Device. His stuff just keeps getting better imo, he's become one of my favourite producers over the last couple of years.

If you enjoyed his last album, "Genesis Device", then you will enjoy this. My favourite tracks from the album have to be Contraband and Point Of No Return (Love the intro sample on that one, does anyone know where it's from?). On another note I wish the someone would revive the Friday 5. Paging Riot.EXE... vvv Ahh yes!

I was skeptical at first because I am an InsideInfo fan but wasn't too impressed with Rust and Vein Drain - both songs are good but they just don't have the energy that the 3 I listed do. Contraband is pretty awesome too.

What's your guys opinions on jump up? Or dnb with an MC? After looking through this thread it's mostly liquid, also would I be right in assuming most of you are in the US? Being in the UK what I know as dnb seems to be pretty different. Anyway a local radio station plays pretty much nonstop dnb with all different flavours, and also has some really big names on, check out http://www.roughtempo.com/live/.

My local scene has a fairly long dnb history, lots of US-first appearances, I have been to the UK and Berlin, and been to dnb parties there.

Being in the UK what I know as dnb seems to be pretty different. Purely from a home-listening perspective, jump up's painful to listen to for any length of time, but it's absolutely brilliant in small doses as it can really get you going. MCs are fine if they're just providing vocals for a track (as with the DRS album I mentioned a little while back) but nobody wants to hear them chatting poo poo over the top of tracks. As an example, I listened to London Elektricity's Live At The Scala album again recently, and while obviously the crowd would have gone with the flow, listening to Wrec pleading for jazz hands every other track was just cringeworthy. As for the demographic of the thread, I imagine that most of those above championing the new Audio and BSE albums are American, as it's more their style, but honestly the way the thread ebbs and flows there's probably a pretty even split. The easiest way to tell is if someone's praising something, they're probably American, and if they're moaning about it (and harking back to the good old days) they're probably British

PLEASE remember this. I saw MC TC Islam last night in the venue I usually play at and he was going over everyone's sets and we were all having a grand time. Then some DJ none of us recognized hopped on stage and started playing some of the most atrociously cheesy Jump-up I have ever heard. It cleared the room, I don't even think TC stuck around for that guy's set. I'm glad the only Jump-up producer of note who comes to New Orleans is Danny the Wildchild.

I like to play some jump up, but it's tough to listen to a recorded set of it. Although, I do like pretty much everything ram put out up to like 2008 or something, now I'm kind of falling off. MCs are an event ONLY thing for me. I can't stand hearing them on a recorded set, except for a few minor exceptions like DRS. I don't even like hearing GQ on a recording, although when I saw him with Andy C ages ago it was really good in a crowd. The thing I hate the most are the rewinds. I know the song goes off, but with all the rewinds they only end up playing seven or eight songs in a showcase setup. Just let it breathe a little bit.

Then my friend Spamm Kid stopped booking the night, and the club handed it to "DJ RESIN". DJ RESIN is one of the worst Djs I've ever heard. He plays what he calls "Jump-up Wobble" and it is loving poison to a dancefloor. Now every month or so Spamm Kid will book the night, and me, J.Dub, Proppa Bear, Greenleaf, or some other true junglist will play. Also sometimes they book the decent DNB/jungle acts on Sat. instead of Thursday, so that RESIN can't ruin the night. But anyway, the best way to find DNB parties is to friend all the local DNB/Jugle dudes on Facebook. They post about their gigs all over town incessantly. If you want links to some personal pages just hit me up on facebook or soundcloud or something. EDIT: Also if you see the "Below C Level" crew logo on a party, there will probably be some awesome jungle played there. Maguro fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Nov 7, 2012 |
