First time posting in this thread, but been monitoring it for some time, so I figured I'll debut with a Friday Five. Since there's no set theme, and I missed out on the "tracks form a specific label" one, I'll do that... Fokuz Recordings The Square & Blue Motion Ft Msdos - You Don't Need Me (Incident Remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W46l5Mq-9kY Love the combination of the atmopsphere and harder beats and bass on this one. Fourward - White Noise Down (Original Mix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImS3BdD6ifw I seem to always play this tune out when spinning DnB Side Effect - Abyss (Original Mix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8YuPfM_euk Simialr to the first tune posted, if you liked that one, this one is for you. Paul Saint Jack & Stunna - Altered Prospects http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLDiFHwYEVo I think Stunna is fairly well known in the more liquidy atmo type scene, brings his typical lightness here. Drum Origins - Mystical Fields http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbFRcnna9gY I don't own this but included because it's from the labels first release in 1999. Kinda wanted to compare it with the more recent releases above.

This one will be challenging for me as a late-comer to D&B. I'll give it a shot though and maybe educate myself in the process... Acen - 116.7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMXrWGaf4pk Sorry for this short version, I can't believe no one has uploaded the full tune on youtube! Wicked bassline. EZ Rollers - Tough At The Top (Original Mix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y53pXbyQPo&feature=related Yeah someone beat me to it, but I prefer that baseline on the original. Trade Secrets - I Know You Got Soul (Acen Remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1272SlJ7MDQ You gotta have soul. Ed Rush, Optical & Fierce - Alien Girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOrKiEqTcio Deviating bit from the Higher Education label, let's get harder and darker. Roni Size - 26 Bass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EtDfNTxZuc Call me crazy but this is the only Roni Size tune I really like.

I got my first gig playing some ambient, minimal, and jazzy drum n bass this Sunday, I doubt there's anyone from Arizona let alone Flagstaff up in this thread but for what it's worth... I normally play breaks but for the past few years I have steadily built up a collection of DnB and now I think I'm ready for it. WD40 posted:Here's some music that makes me reminisce about good times. About soft grass against my back, the sun on my face, and the laughter of friends. I hope it makes you feel something too. These are great and would fit right in, thanks! I'm definitely gonna try to play Sinking and Tenho.

Maybe it's just me but the Dirtyphonics Remix sounds exactly the same as the original just sped up 35 BPM. I can't say it's crap, it certainly sounds cool loud n all that, but I like a little more soul. And since I missed the Jump Up get hyped poo poo Friday, this also sounds really cool loud... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmHeLsf5b-8 By the power of Ra!

I heard someone say something about a minimal friday five, let's keep this alive... Bop - Skeptikos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4RuXH4smI0 Got kinda of a glitch thing going on with the drums and wobbly bass, there's a spacey whistle to round things out. Parhelia - Spaceship Named Andromeda http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU7c3O3r5hc Starts off real ambient, then grows to sort of an uplifting rhythm. Marcus Intalex - Airborne http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQGp19IPQww Lush ambientness all about here especially that breakdown. Bit heavier than the previous tunes. Probably my favorite Intalex tune, there's also a new album out that I would recommend checking out. Dissident - I Wish I Was A Hubble Telescope http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66cTL-7WJK8 Were gonna go a little deeper. Back to the glitchy percussion, but now with a nice dark rolling bassline. If you like this, the whole complication (Meditation In Dance) is really cool. FX909 & Caine - Anchorage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToaBdv6OGzw Fokuz Recorders is easily one of the best labels I follow. Gonna round things out on kinda of a trancey trip.

Dr. Goonstein posted:So Hospital Records just released their Hospitality: Festival Drum & Bass album. The mix is pretty good and worth picking up. I know some people aren't a fan of Hospital's generic liquid sound, but the album has a lot of fresh music that's not all from their label. I like the MRSA track, but I was really surprised at how aggro some of these tunes were, such as the Nosia and Phace ones, not really my thing for the most part. chrix posted:look who's back... Clean tune.

Le0 posted:guys I love you all. I've been into Drum and Bass for years and been around Dogs on Acid, dnbforums and breakbeat.co.uk boards and I always felt that a lot of people on there were way too close minded about Dnb, most of the time you get called out for listening to clownstep if you don't adhere to what the guys on there listen. Also the rivalry between those boards always made me laugh. While I'm on another DJ based forum, this thread trumps their entire DnB section. Thank you all for being civil, knowledgeable, respectful, and fun! Riot.EXE posted:So, I was at Gameworks last night/this morning and I was playing this game called "DJ MAX: Technika 2" and there was this really cool Drum & Bass Track in it called "Bee-U-Tiful" by some artist called First Aid. It was really cool, so definitely give it a listen This is my kinda thing, thanks!

Friday Five Time! Following is my top 5 tunes of the year... No particular order, all are light on the ears easy liquid atmospheres. I think most are from the summer. Fracture Design - The Lights Within Her Eyes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KzV4XLcU-c A piano and a whaling female cry lead this tune, really blissful. The Real Transported Man & LabuaX - Breathe (Stunna Remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwjnpkdw-KU Kinda hypnotic high end percussion stuff going on here, great breakdown and feel to it. Intelligent Manners - Get Back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i1eXlL6MQ8 Most soulful track on here, light and skippy. Incident - Indigo Shade http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPJl1GiwFfw Another kinda trancey feel but a bit more aggressive than any of these other tracks. Loz Contreras - Sarajevo (Hosta Remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaTXOYtAj1k Real simple tune to round this out, not much going on but it's really catchy, a simple horn and arpeggiation.

I'll play... Friday Five Resurrection: Holy poo poo, Remixes! -"Hush Little Baby (Fred V & Grafix Remix)" - Wretch 32. If you haven't heard of Fred V & Grafix by now shame on you! -"make Peace Not War (Blame Remix)" - Skepta. Pretty popy Hip Hop and DnB but I think it's catchy. -"In And Out Of Phase (Calyx & TeeBee Remix)" - Andrew Bayer & Matt Lange. Take a hint Trance producers. -"Daddy (Fred V & Grafix Remix)" - Emeli Sande. More Fred V & Grafix magic. -"By The Wind (Derrick & Tonika Remix)" - Shyma. Ending with a softer touch here.

Love your mixes, you play ever slightly harder than I do but there’s a lot of tunes that I find work in my sets, thanks! Can you give me a run down of your video rig? Is the camera switching automated? What kind of work do you have to do in post to sync it all up etc? Thanks again

Mister Speaker posted:Thanks, that means a lot! The cameras are Sony FDR-X3000 action cams. There used to be three of them but I lost one on a motorcycle ride. They're mounted to various things like laptop stands using small articulating arms from SmallRig - you can see that one of them is mounted to a boom mic stand on the desk that's also carrying that SM7B microphone (which I never use because I haven't really spun with an MC yet), but this allows me to sort of change that one angle on the fly, within reason. Each camera is connected via HDMI to a BlackMagic ATEM Mini switcher, and via USB to a powerbar since I don't feel like wasting the cameras' batteries. You can also see a RotoLight mounted to one of the articulating arms to get some light on the gear, since I'm sort of standing in the way of the chandelier (lol) in my room. Thanks for your effortpost it is appreciated and insightful. Don't think I'm ready to get that deep into it but you've inspired to hook up a couple of webcams with OBS and actually record some stuff for a change. Watch this space!

Rageaholic posted:That song's on Tayla's Soul Survivors compilation, the first DNB album I ever heard (and one I still listen to often). So loving good. Don't think I've heard this mix before but the first disc rules: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bBEZ4_G7Bc Martytoof posted:E: Ok yeah, GU 004 Oslo, Oakenfold. That whole disc starts off super trippy but tbh peters out after Bukem’s track, but I mean it’s a hard act to follow so I’m not shocked. Oakie can either have mind blowingly good track selection or really poor; I think both his GU mixes fall into the latter, while I loved the Another World mix CD.

Jippa posted:I have an odd request. Do any of you have (or would be willing to make) any 155 bpm mixes? I realise that is the very low end of d&b but I thought it would be worth asking. Tracklist vibe swings wildly but all the tunes are 155 exactly. Pls don't judge my mixing playing these at - 10% or so makes it really strange sounding to mix. Also the tunes still might sound "off" but I think the pioneer master tempo will be better than an audacity tempo change. In face there's a guy who plays Psy Trance that's normally 140 at 122 to mix it in with more progressive stuff and it sounds really good (like objectively cause psy trance is poo poo). https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-fV6nqNr_dHIq83NRo0Aw8rglDQDu2Ib/view?usp=sharing I started with some modern liquid that I usually play just pitched down but I didn't like the way it sounded so I edited those out and faded in when I got to more experimental tracks closer to the target BPM. If it doesn't have to be Dnb I could make a longer mix of wave/liquid bass stuff that cruises at 155 easy. Was fun thanks for the idea.

Okay I'll kinda organize this thing, if you want on the list  or PM me."Rules" - Post mix on First Friday of your month - Make it at least 30 mins - Easily streamable/downloadable [soundcloud, mixcloud, google drive, ect...] - DnB or adjacent (halftime, juke, footwork, clownstep, liquid, neuro, jungle, intelligent, just keep it in the 170ish breakbeat kingdom) - Any equipment, Ableton to records, doesn't have to be live just share some interesting stuff If you're not a DJ or are away from your decks a custom youtube playlist would be cool option. ______________________________________________________ Schedule (In order of requests): March: Nullification April: chrix May: Mister Speaker June: Dirt Road Junglist July: Virgil Vox ______________________________________________________ I can jump in as a substitute anytime, I'm on decks like ~12 hours a week. What do yall think? We can spam the mixes in some other related threads and get this thread a little more action? Plus I wanna hear everyone's take on DnB!

Lot of tunes I would play but only knew a few of them and added a couple to some wantlists. Very clean sounding and great mixing too.

Mister Speaker posted:It's technically Friday, so LET'S loving GO: Some heavy horsepower here. I've also been in that same funk with not really listening or downloading much new esp from DnB at the moment, only recognized a couple things and those were heavily remixed. Cool to see Last Jungle get it's time to shine, always loved that one and thought it should have been bigger but I think the original was like ~145bpm so tough to fit into sets. Technimatics Flashbulb was very cool too, I like the confidence you have throwing something softer in there, nice switch-up. And that's something I love about DnB in general, so many different moods and vibes all at the [roughly] same tempo so if you got the tunes that work you can really flip the sound (and back sometimes) with one track. Fav track was prolly at the 48 min mark. I liked the first ~25min section the most, but impressed the energy level stays throughout the mix. There was like one of those foghorn type tunes in there and it really shows how good those are when used sparingly, I think I actually did the bass face thing. The halftime stuff is really foreign to me but I enjoyed listening, seems like it lends itself well to that quick mixing too. Great production quality; sounds great, multiple cameras, nice room. You put work into it and it shows, again thank you for your effort! ...oh yeah the tracksuit owns too lol
