Eh, it wouldn't have been that bad had I not been expecting more from them. But yeah that's basically embarrassing in comparison to some of the stuff they released last year.

Why oh why must you do this to us Brookes brothers?! That bass line is pretty cool sounding though.

Welp it's Friday here in Aus, I'm drunk and it's a new page so I'm going to re-post my pre-emptive Riot.EXE® Sponsored End-of-Year Round-Up Friday Five:cheese-cube posted:1. Black Sun Empire Feat. Thomas Oliver & Youthstar - All Is Lost ("From The Shadows", BSELP006, Black Sun Empire) Honestly it's been a fantastic year for D&B. There's been a bit of bullshit but overall I reckon we've come out on top with some amazing releases from brilliant producers being dropped in this past year. Here's to 2013, for whatever the hell it brings. Looking forward to everyone else's 2012 year-in-review Friday Fives! Edit: vvv Styliferous your picks are magnificient! IMO this thread is sorely lacking in darker D&B tracks so this is refreshing. vvv Pile Of Garbage fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Dec 28, 2012 |

I figure I've acquired enough dnb to do one of these for this year. So, here's my End of the Year Round-Up Friday Five. 5. Amit - Killer Driller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwTgYMu07Uk Amit went completely in with this one. The half step drums, smothering bassline, and minimal vocals put together one of my favorite tracks of 2012. 4. Culture Shock - Troglodyte https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cDsF9hXD5k What can be said about this tune that hasn't already been said? Surely one of the most popular dnb tracks of the year, and for good reason. I got to hear Andy C drop this track at U Street Music Hall in DC a few months back. The bass hit so hard that all you could do is stand there and laugh about how absurdly strong it is. 3. Jubei - Say Nothin' Ft. Flowdan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZtpskPaapk Jubei takes the lurching half-step Dub Phixiz popularized last year with "Marka" and improves the formula. The bassline crushes on a system, and Flowdan is at his best lyrically. 2. DRS - Count to Ten ft. Enei https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUfENWgIAJE This one is an absolute dance floor smasher. Enei put together a monster track, and DRS's lyrics complete the package. Absolutely menacing. 1. Stray, Sabre, & Halogenix - Oblique (ft. Frank Carter III) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzFJVBAA0Xo Going in a different direction for my last track, I have to put Oblique as my top release for 2012. Not only is this my favorite liquid track of the year, but its possibly my favorite liquid track of all time. Everything in this track is perfectly formulated, from the drums, to the piano, to the lyrics. This one never fails to make me emotional. I'm convinced that in fifteen years, when people are putting together "Back to 2012" sets, they'll include this one every time. Timeless.

So, to review...this is what I posted halfway through the year...Riot.EXE posted:Friday Five Resurrection: Half of the Year Edition So, what else was there? Welp...without further ado: Friday Five Resurrection: END OF 2012 Edition - "Siga" - Taku Inoue. (Holy poo poo. So, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 came to consoles in September [it was released in arcades last year, though], and with its console release, came some additional stages that weren't in the arcade version, which means additional music as well. This was one of the new tracks for the stage called, "Tropical Rainforest". poo poo got me SO HYPE when I first heard it. Definitely deserves a spot here!) - "Light Upon My Road (Makoto Remix)" - Heavy1 feat. Iriann Joyce. (drat, y'all. This track right here is just so drat peaceful. Everything becomes right with the world when I bump this one right here. Love it.) - "You Skream" - Original Sin. (Off of the new "Mad World EP", this is my favorite track off of it, no doubt. It just hits all the right spots for me. Good that Original Sin is still puttin' out quality tracks!) - "Feed The Machine" - Black Sun Empire & Noisia. (Gotta love it when new tracks sound like throwbacks while still keeping it fresh somehow. I hope that never dies.) - "Check 1,2 (Emperor Remix)" - Reso. (Now, "Check 1,2" is already a dope track, but it wasn't Drum & Bass. Thankfully, Emperor killed it with this remix on the single. By the way...Reso's Debut Album, "Tangram" is loving amazing, and y'all should give it a listen if you haven't already. Anyways...just lovin' how hype this remix right here makes me.) ...and there you have it!

Anyone know any nice tracks with acoustic instruments mixed in? Along the lines of: D.Kay & Epsilon - Barcelona (feat. Stamina MC) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P0pdmyTLz0 DJ Marky & XRS - LK (feat. Stamina MC) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qgH1MURhvs Future Prophecies - September https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ix0W-TOFK8 Feint - Laurence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly7-J0ze1xo I love all of these and was wondering if there's more like them.

I'm just gonna put it out there that my favourite track of last year isn't even from last year. I played a few sets last year and this one has had consistently managed to ramp up the crowd massively: Warrior Bass - Future World (utopia) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RbZTkh2oF8 That said, there have been some epic tracks from this year I love dearly that have also gotten a good response too.  I've got a gig which I'm pretty sure is carte blanche where I'm considering doing a bunch of real oldschool jungle sets including the above and say Hyper on Experience - Disturbance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96KGE5xvXvM, Remarc & Lewi Cifer - Ricky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9Z9Alr5NWc and a couple other tracks; I'd take a massive listing of that era to hunt down though as I don't have much (gig is potentially in a couple months, which is enough to get somewhere although I'd like to go serato for logistics sake) Basically I'm in oldschool mode and so are a lot of people around me

Yeah, thats pretty much all I listen to anymore. Drum and Bass is pretty much driving to the extreme on both spectrums, old school type tracks is the only stuff I really care for anymore.

Otherwise, I'm not really keeping up too much. So I'm in the same boat. I'm loving the return to simplicity.

Because I don't want this thread to die I just thought I'd bump it with some content. First off, a new episode of the Shogun Audio podcast is out. The track list is fairly varied and has some pretty good downtempo jungle tracks. iTunes Download: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/shogun-audio-podcast/id349670447 Direct Download (In M4A format for some weird reason): http://www.shogunaudio.co.uk/Podcast/PODCAST%20JAN%202013%20FINAL.m4a Shogun Audio Podcast Episode 036 Tracklist posted:A$AP Rocky - Long Live A$AP Secondly, last week Neosignal (Phace & Misanthrop's label) posted a 2013 Outlook detailing their plans for this new year. Of note in the outlook is that Phace & Misanthrop will soon be releasing an album which "will consist of electronic music we do not really know how to call yet" (Thijs De Vlieger from Noisia called the album "neo digital krautrock"). I have to say I'm skeptical about the direction their taking however I'll refrain from passing judgement until I've heard it. From the sounds of it the style will only be remotely similar to D&B. As for definite D&B work Phace & Misanthrop will be releasing a new EP under Neosignal which will include a collab with Mefjus and Noisia! This is awesome news as Phace has done some amazing collab work with Noisia in the past (Such as the tracks Thrillseekers, Unveil, and, more recently, Program). Continuing in this vein of discussion does anyone know of any upcoming D&B releases to look forward to?

Danny Byrd put out a new single which features Roni Size, called Grit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUY9w3zVF1M Track's pretty great, and the video is loving ridiculous. It features Yoda, the Muppets and Slimer from Ghostbusters  Really glad to hear these two huge names working together. I can't wait to see what the rest of Byrd's next album holds, too. cheese-cube posted:Continuing in this vein of discussion does anyone know of any upcoming D&B releases to look forward to? Now I don't remember where I saw it, but on some social networking avenue the other day, I saw some stirrings about a new Nu:Logic album, which would be a hell of a nice surprise if true

Part of the reason I love that album so drat much, besides almost all of its tracks being amazing, is that it's so varied. The styles seem to change from one song to the next so you're never listening to the same type of thing for too long.

Also on this clip, taken from a Dara mix apparently, he teases in Fresh & Vegas's "Shades Of Sound", pre-Bad Company dnb. Been cataloging my collection, finishing it up this afternoon.

It looks like all of the tracks on The Radius were included by DJ Hazard in his FabricLive mix (Fabriclive 65) of course they were really chopped up in the mix. I really dig Hazard so I'm definitely going to check out The Radius.

What/who do you guys recommend for really hard DnB, like, just the right side of breakcore? I'm a big fan of Barcode's Filthcasts, which consist of stuff like: Donny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23kHVtyiLN0 Counterstrike https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23kHVtyiLN0 I also really like this Cooh mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvnZeLuDqlA, anything with metal samples/mashups is a plus for me. I started with things like the Metalheadz Platinum Breakz series and the Moving Shadow 'point' series of mix CDs (as featured on GTA3), but I'm always looking for harder stuff; Are there any 'must have' mixes or CDs for this kind of thing? Hardcore and drumstep influences are always good.

I agree with this opinion, although Vaporize was one of my favorite tracks he's ever produce. It will never overtake Juno, though. I used to be obsessed with Subfocus and picked up pretty much every release in the mid 2000's. Verano (w/ Brookes Brothers!) is still an underplayed gem.
