Although I've never heard of Camo & Krooked I think that one of their newish remixes is pretty good, but it seems pretty love/hate with my friends, anyone agree with me: John B - Numbers (Camo & Krooked Remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORcMfmIC4oU Also - the song that got me into drum and bass (I first heard it while someone else was listening to High Contrast's Watch the Ride, which owns): Nu:tone - System (Matrix and Futurebound Remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpv9OCAj9VQ

Neurophonic posted:The Mechabyte Podcasts are sometimes a little hard to find, but they give a good flavour of the darker, heavier side of eastern European/Russian DnB, which is where an awful lot of talent seems to flow from. Very much a different sound to what you might hear out in a club with artists like Andy C headlining. Holy poo poo were you on target with the Mechabyte podcasts. The opening song on the first one (his own tune: Flame - Silencer) is unbelievably good. Highly recommended, at least as far as I've listened through them.

It's a shame that so little of that kind of stuff makes it this far west on wax, although if you dig a little you can find web releases. Check out mixes by IZM, and have a scout around this site for mixes that contain tracks by artists featured on the Mechabyte podcasts for more of the same: http://www.drumandbass.ru/forum/index.php?showforum=21 Bit of an effort but so, so worth it when you find those ridiculous layered beats and raw basslines.

I used to play on a pirate in Wolverhampton (UK) for about a year back in 2000/01 as well as playing a few minor Midlands clubs over the years. I stopped playing d&b a few years ago now and a lot of the modern stuff bores me but I've been an active junglist since the early nineties and still have a couple thousand records laying around. I'll resist the urge to hate on Pendulum though and post some classics instead. Concept 2 - Cause n' Effect http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc9zfd-HPrw&feature=related Aquarius - Drift to the Centre http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TExlTNK850 Capone - Friday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjQ3tQCXYMg Adam f - Circles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9iC3Yo2A2Y First three are all aliases surprisingly enough.

I love drum n bass and liquid funk and produce it myself; so lemme post some of my favourite tunes (maybe I posted in the last thread too but why not) Also if you like liquid, check out Liquicity on youtube he posts a lot of up and coming producers who are always interesting to listen to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77kjRuvhbik Reflekt - Need to Feel Loved (Deep Focus & InContext) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShJmz29HQY4 Lazee ft. Neverstore - Hold On (Matrix & Futurebound) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg3Joj8QxsU Unknown Error - Keep on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSJbqKp1oCk Logistics - Transporter On that note, Logistics' Crash Bang Wallop is probably the best all around DnB album in recent memory, it's really fantastic and I'm sure you all listen to it already. And just for a bit of self indulgence here's a track I've been working on  shows the kind of style i'm into

Probably late to the party about this, but Sick Music 2 is exactly that. I can't get enough of Twin Galaxies (The Upbeats Remix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwl0_ehLON4. I'll admit, I didn't think they would be a group that I'd be following as close when I first heard them. I think their ability to pull off different styles unexpectedly well has kept me intersted. Check out their remix for Minuit's Aotearoa for example...http://www.amplifier.co.nz/track/53880/aotearoa-upbeats-remix.html NZ has been killing it electronic music wise over the last few years.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I really like a lot of the tunes they have put out over the years. Mainly talking about Concord Dawn, Bulletproof, State of Mind, The Upbeats, Trei, Dose, Menace and Cern. muchitto posted:Optical - Swift glide Optical solo tunes from the late 90s are among my favorites. I recently tracked down the Metalheadz comp this was on, so I could have a playable copy. Also, his remix of Bliss & Tumble is great for the technical sound, while his remix of Boom Boom Satellites around this time is another great example of his more dance floor aimed tunes.

Finally, we went about 5 posts without anything about Pendulum, ah crap. Bop - Tears Of A Lonely Metaphysician (Lynx + Hellrazor remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQSYAsua9hM Would anybody hate me if I said I'm not a fan of Nu:Tone's new sound? How do you go from Nu:Tone ft Natalie Williams - System I mean come on Nu:tone and Natalie Williams - Strange Encounter for goodness sakes. Now his music sounds more catered towards the jump up market. Maybe I just need to get out more, I'm sure his current tunes sound fun in a club and slightly silly just sitting around.

I have, and maybe jump up isn't the right thing to say about them but I'm just not feeling them as much as his older stuff. Again though, I haven't been to a proper show in a good bit so lets hope I can take my head out of my rear end and be able to listen to fun tracks again.

Sorry to keep bringing up Pendulum in here, since it seems to be an even mix of love/hate, but it's all I know! I've been a fan of Pendulum for a few years and I've really fallen in love with the sound, but as far as getting into the rest of d'n'b, I don't know where to start. I haven't ever really received a definitive answer on what is closest to Pendulum, at least, the songs I'm in love with the most. Slam would be categorized as dark/heavy, wouldn't it? What's most similar to that? I listened to a bit of the ones in the OP, and none of them were really that heavy. And what about the actual song Hold Your Colour? What bands are similar to that? And what would you categorize Pendulum's "non" d'n'b songs as? Someone said breakbeat, but I'm not altogether convinced on that, yet. Well now that I've posted that retardation, I'll make my way through the songs posted in this thread and see if anything tickles my fancy.

Its not dark its just cheesy jump-up and the best way to go from there is Sub Focus probably but theres songs by them in the OP so i dunno. If you don't like any of the other tracks in the OP and only Pendulum maybe dnb isn't for you to be honest.

Urban Wizard posted:And what would you categorize Pendulum's "non" d'n'b songs as? Someone said breakbeat, but I'm not altogether convinced on that, yet. "Fasten Your Seatbelts" and "Out Here" on their first album are definitely breakbeat tunes. As for the non-dnb stuff on 'In Silico', I have no idea, I actually haven't heard that album. Last tune of theirs I bought was "Axle Grinder". As for similar artists, not sure how close you'll get to what they do, but maybe check out the other big acts like Sub Focus, Chase & Status, or maybe check out artists on labels like Technique Recordings (link: https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/label/detail/3419/technique_recordings), Viper Recordings (link: https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/label/detail/1757/viper_recordings), Breakbeat Kaos (they released the first Pendulum LP, link: https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/label/detail/913/breakbeat_kaos). If it's mainly the drum'n'bass + guitars hybrid that you liked, then check out the artist Night Breed on Ram Records (link: https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/track/catalog/?contextType=artists&contextName=Night%20Breed&contextEntityId=3403), or some metal cross over tunes like Concord Dawn's "Raining Blood" (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2nHKpalCh4) or KC's "Archangel" (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqBcsTx8Qws) and "Destroyed" (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG7rja3rrZA). Also, maybe check out Zardonic (link: https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/track/catalog/?contextType=artists&contextName=Zardonic&contextEntityId=23120)?

It's not that I don't like any of the other tracks in the OP, but they're not like Pendulum, and that's where I want to start. And I haven't listened to all of them, either. I'm interested in hearing other dnb, but to start I was interested in what else was similar, first. I will be checking out the other ACTUAL dnb bands in a little while.

Urban Wizard posted:Sorry to keep bringing up Pendulum in here Don't be. If it wasn't for Pendulum, DnB wouldn't have HALF the exposure it has today. True, they're no longer really DnB, but even the most hardened hater cannot deny the fact that they've had a massive influence on the entire genre. If you're after a sound similar to Pendulum, try The Qemists. 'Hold The Q' is a really good album and the similarities with Pendulum are immediately apparent. The Perfect High could easily have been an early Pendulum track and the drop is just SICK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q0fzCMILiI Speaking of sick drops, why the gently caress has this never been released? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3QoKhXFSo4 Dell_Zincht fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Apr 29, 2010 |

Most of the time it's just to have something different in your arsenal rather than having the same version everybody else is dropping. People do eventually get a hold of them though, it trickles down from friends of big names that get the promo, then their friends bug them enough and get it, etc. etc. Ewun's Screw Up VIP was never "released" but I heard a few ATL DJ's playing it out. In contrast, Spor's - Knock You Down VIP was never released and I don't think I've ever heard it outside of a Spor mix. Drum & Bass - PYF Clownstep Choonz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPXPwr06eAA

'Confidential' is pretty loving sweet as well, as it gathers the best of his other three albums and the other disc is all remixes. His remix of Adele's Hometown Glory is fantastic, hell, as established, everything he touches turns to gold.

Every song just picks you up and makes you dance. "Forever and a Day", "Chances", "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", "Eternal Optimist", I could name just about every drat track off that album as a favorite. Also, people should listen to his 2007 essential mix, it was the mix of the year and for good reason. It is absolutely awesome.
