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.

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.

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...

You're right, I'm definitely misinterpreting the situation between Chris and Spor. Also the most recent episode of the Lifted podcast that you linked is awesome. I'm kind of bummed that Spor isn't doing the podcast anymore with Chris as I enjoyed their casual banter.

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).

FuzzyWuzzy posted: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 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".

^^^ Seconding this. IMO all of BSE's releases have delivered 100% and "From The Shadows" is no exception. ^^^im a girl btw posted: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. Re-quoting this as I just picked up the album and it is solid. 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!

Seconding the love for Masochist, it's an absolute monster of a track. AFAIK it never actually had a proper release on an LP or album and just ended up on a bunch of compilations.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Anybody heard the new Mistabishi album Skum yet? I just listened to the whole thing and...well, it's definitely different than Drop. Apparently he came out with an album last year called Trip, but this is the first I'm really hearing from him since he got ejected from Hospital. I enjoyed Drop and Trip although the latter is very experimental and harder to get into. From listening to the mini mix of Skum that you posted it sounds like he is continuing along the experimental vein and it sounds nothing like Drop. Not that that's a bad thing of course. Edit: I just picked up Enei's latest album, Machines, based on the good reception in this thread and it is brilliant. It feels somewhat like a cross between Syncopix and Evol Intent.

Hell yeah, following in second place... 1. Black Sun Empire Feat. Thomas Oliver & Youthstar - All Is Lost (From The Shadows) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXkOHVqo93w Absolutely massive track from BSE's most recent album "From The Shadows". The drop on this one is catastrophic. 2. Zardonic & Messinian - Survive (Vulgar Display Of Bass) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N6PeMtyNnM Usually I hate any and all dubstep producers however Zardonic is an exception to the rule as he manages to toe a fine line between the two genres. His most recent album, "Vulgar Display of Bass", is exactly that and is a great listen. 3. Octane & DLR - Cometh The Horde (Method In The Madness) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTPsnvt3U7g A very well put together track from an equally well produced album. 4. Logistics Feat. Nightshade & Sarah Callander - Crystal Skies (Fear Not) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbJRpft4L98 Some may find it a bit corny but I really don't give a drat. It's a beautiful track with lovely lyrics  5. SpectraSoul - Sometimes We Lie... (Delay No More) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya8wOBZMAfI Very nice minimal downtempo track. Smooth as all hell. B-B-B-Bonus Track: Utah Jazz - Conrad Funk (Groove Therapy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQUw9WnB2lE As the name implies, Utah Jazz delivers some very smooth and jazzy beats. Another Bonus Track: High Contrast - The Road Goes On Forever (The Agony & The Ecstasy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bopS0iF9sKA Very high energy track, love the flourishes in the chorus.

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!

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?

Riot.EXE posted:Hazard just put out a compilation called "The Radius", and it's got some good stuff on it. "Hypnotise" - Decimal Bass, was probably the most stand-out track, to me. 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.

If anyone's interested Neosignal Podcast Volume 006 came out earlier this week. Here's a copy of the podcast on Soundcloud if you having trouble downloading it from their website (They're using that shar.es bullshit which was broken as hell when I tried to use it): https://soundcloud.com/dubstepdemocracy/neosignal-podcast-volume-006Neosignal Podcast Volume 006 Track List posted:1.phace,misanthrop,mefjus - twisted (neosignal) On the subject of Phace & Misanthrop they were recently signed to Noisia's "Division Recordings" label (Which I think is a sub-label of Vision) under their new moniker, Neosignal. Phace & Misanthrop formed the Neosignal record label back in 2008 however early last year they took on the Neosignal name themselves and began to produce an album which will be released under Division Recordings. Unfortunately I don't have high hopes for this new album as Phace & Misanthrop decided to celebrate their signing to Division Recordings by releasing the following abortion: Noisia - Stigma (Neosignal Remix). All they've done is taken the original (Which is already an amazing track: http://youtu.be/xtppf3xkby4), slowed it down by 50%, and dropped in a pinch of wub to make it sound more like dubstep. IMO it just comes off as lazy pandering. Than again I could be looking at this the wrong way so a second opinion would be great.

Finally got around to listening to Nu:Logic's (Nu:Tone & Logistics) album "What I've Always Waited For" which was released under Hospital Records last month and it's bloody brilliant. My favourite track from the album has to be Day & Night. The chorus interludes along with the piano chords are chill as. IMO this album has changed my opinion of Hospital Records a fair bit.

AlphaXires posted:So on the Discogs article of DJ Marky's "The Master Plan", it has the original tracks from its release in 2007. However, I checked its Beatport page and it has a whole new release date - a more current one just last May. I know I sound more confused than I should be, but could someone help me look into this? Did Innerground re-edit the album or something? Might be able to help if I said that the original release label it had in 2007 was INN 023CD, and now it's INN023CDIT. Not sure if the "IT" is a ubiquitous addition to re-edits or not, so if someone could help me out, I'd appreciate it. Yeah the one on Beatport is a re-release which is why the catalogue numbers are different. Labels will often add suffixes to catalog numbers in order to differentiate between the different formats/versions of an album/EP.

28 Gun Bad Boy posted:The last time I really properly cared to listen to London Elektricity was around their Billion Dollar Gravy LP which was top shelf. The remixes that came off it were total perfection too, Landslide at Round The Corner while Phuturistix tackled Different Drum. Billion Dollar Gravy is a fantastic album, part of which I believe is due to the relative simplicity of the tracks (Cum Dancing is a perfect example and my personal favourite from the album). IMO, the only recent release from London Elektricity which captures this simplicity is their 2008 album Syncopated City. Looking back, the album actually seems sort of odd next to Power Ballads (2005) and Yikes! (2011). Oh and that Phuturistix remix of Different Drum is awesome (If I'm not mistaken it's from the 10" release NHS63Z). Edit (Because I'm bored and want to post about D&B): regarding Logistics it's really striking how aggressive his earlier work was.

Black Sun Empire recently released a remix compilation under Blackout Music NL: Variations On Black. It's around 80% new material with remixes of tracks from Driving Insane right up to From The Shadows. Some notable tracks: BSE & Concord Dawn - The Sun (Evol Intent Remix) - The dark and dirty style of Evol Intent really bleeds through in this remix. BSE Feat. Foreign Beggars - Dawn Of A Dark Day (Receptor Remix) - Receptor has basically turned the first four minutes of the track into a giant buildup for an equally enormous drop at 4:00. Style-wise it's an interesting remix as Receptor is known for faster and darker tracks that border into skullstep territory (Very similar to Current Value). BSE & Eye-D - Brainfreeze (Neonlight Remix V1) - Somewhat of a newcomer to the scene Neonlight have recently started to prove themselves as being capable of producing amazing tracks and this remix is a testament to that. Oh and the worst track: "Eraser (SPL Remix)" - Basically a dubstep abortion.
