Dr. Goonstein posted:So i'm totally new to Drum n Bass as a genre. I discovered Pendulum a few weeks ago and loved them, as i look for bands that cross Rock and electronic music a lot. You should look into Spor, The Upbeats, and The Qemists. Also, Hold Your Colour is easily Pendulum's best and most creative album to date. Give it another shot.

Monday BUMP Some new (well, new to me) stuff I picked up this week: Felon - Frame Shift https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHRJC3ByRro (sounds WAAAAY better when it's not a youtube video. Go pick this up, Felon is a goddamn bassline writing genius) Arp XP & Maurs - Do Your Own Thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A_XDcdx0hA I have to show some love to a local Indianapolis guy who is really blowing up the dnb scene right now, Dave Owen. He just released an EP, Beatin Up the Block on the local Indianapolis label, iQ entertainment. It's REALLY good. I dropped "This 1" (Ft. Johnny Utah) this weekend during a dnb/bassline/garage set I did and the entire place went nuts. Definitely worth checking out. It's so new there aren't any youtube vids yet, but here's a few goodies from Dave that showcase his sound: Dave Owen - Feeling kinda Blue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdLUQa2cuuA Dave Owen - Skinz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Opp8mbpVkSg

Auspex posted:That's a tasty tracklisting, having a listen now. Must be a wild hair, but I'm really digging a lot of the minimal dnb that I'm coming across lately. Especially Triad. After this mix was finished, I grabbed some  , turned up the massive subwoofer and listened to Triad's basslines for the next 30 minutes. It's just so deep. I've been playing Fiasco out like a madman.Thanks to those who have listened already! I would love some criticism if it exists.

Dramatika posted:LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad are coming to Houston next month, are they worth seeing for ~$20? I'm still a DnB noob, more into the dubstep side of things, and while his name seems familiar I don't recall where I've heard it. LTJ is a legend in the dnb scene, up there with Goldie, Grooverider/Fabio, & Roni Size. He runs the Good Looking record label which has many amazing tunes on it. His production is very cerebral and has been classified as "Intelligent Drum & Bass". His Essential Mix is worth checking out, although he probably plays much newer tracks these days. For a better idea of the kind of tunes he'll likely be playing, take a listen to his FabricLive 46 set. That said, if I had the opportunity to go, I would in a heartbeat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVKmCf1Pi-0

Still the only track I know where people go crazy 3 times in just over a minute - when the synths come in, when the drums come in and then when the bass comes in. Love hearing it get played out on a big system - only had that pleasure twice. I've collected a little bit of classic dnb/jungle so I can do some classic dnb Serato sets, but never thought to include this one. I will make it a point to shoehorn this into a set now.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:This isn't my first post in here about Netsky's album, but I think it's a pretty important release. In my opinion, it's the most cohesive DNB album since albums like Era Of Diversion and Tough Guys Don't Dance came out a couple years ago. The synth lines in each song are so memorable. And I think everyone who enjoys this kind of sound should be listening. Ok, I understand you're a BIG fan of Netsky's album but I really have to disagree with the statement I've bolded. There have been many other "more cohesive" albums released recently that maybe you haven't had any exposure to: Mutt - Treading Water Break - Symmetry Logistics - Crash Bang Wallop! Chase & Status - More than Alot State of Mind - Faster than Light Camo & Krooked - Above & Beyond Telemetrik - My Lightyear The Upbeats - Big Skeleton Bachelors of Science - Warehouse Dayz (one of my personal favorites) Breakage - Foundation Lynx & Kemo - The Raw Truth Sub Focus - Sub Focus The Qemists - Spirit in the System Alaska - The Mesozoic Era (totally under-rated drumfunk album) Fanu - Homefree Noisia - Split The Atom The Panacea - The Chiropteran Implex & Enei - Sublife Mistabishi - Drop Calibre - Shelflife Vol. 2 Blu Mar Ten - Natural History ASC - The Astral Traveler Counterstrike - Insubordination Alix Perez - 1984 How many of these albums (or artists) have you listened to? chrix fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Oct 12, 2010 |

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I've listened to a lot of those (Sub Focus, Noisia, Chase & Status, Mistabishi, The Upbeats, Calibre, etc.), and I think they're all great albums. But I'm not embellishing one bit when I say that almost every single tune from Netsky's album gets stuck in my head on a regular basis. I frequently catch myself whistling them. The rest of those albums have a few tracks like that, but not almost every track on the album. Well, based on this response, the only albums you have listened to are the popular ones. I'm not trying to tell you what to listen to and I'm not saying the Netsky album is bad, but I think you're missing what I am trying to say. The Netsky album is very catchy, but to call it "the most cohesive" album is a bit presumptuous without a larger sample size. That's like saying the latest Ke$ha album is great because it's catchy. No one's going to listen to it in 2 years, so enjoy it while it's popular, I guess. I won't deny that I play a few Netsky tracks in my gigs and on my radio show, but an entire set of that over-produced unoriginal synth will turn the average listener away. Netsky's best tunes aren't even on his album. Hell, they're not even on the same label. Drum & Bass does actually exist outside of RAM and Hospital Records, you know. Edit: Monkey, I think you and I clash a lot because you're the opposite of a true dnb listener. This isn't a bad thing, but coming from a DJ who has been neck deep in dnb for quite some time, you have a very "pop" taste in dnb. No hate bro

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I know, I know. I've heard his non-album tracks and think they're loving awesome. Not saying that those labels are the only drum and bass out there, just saying that their stuff is usually what I find myself most attracted to. When I first got into dnb, I listened to Pendulum's Hold Your Colour pretty often. While I'd love to say "it stuck with me" there are maybe 2 tracks from that album I'd listen to myself, let alone submit others to. You'd probably be pretty interested in a lot of the dnb I started with as a wee DJ, but I hardly play any of it anymore. edit: this is the last mix I made on vinyl.

Anae posted:I got confused trying to watch his actual physical mixing, but then I realised you meant look at the Serato screen, and yeah, it makes no sense. For example his transition from System to Ill Behaviour - the transition happens with only one Serato track playing. So both System and Ill Behaviour were on that one MP3, evidently. This would be excusable if it was a mash-up, but it's not, it's a (fairly rubbish) mix. He then mixes into another Serato track at 6:24 (notice the top one stop moving) but it continues to be Ill Behaviour, with his next tune pre-mixed in (listen to the drums). It's possible he has a 3rd track playing internally (with an SL3?) Edit: On second look, I'm not convinced this is actually "live". Right when the stage cam comes on, you can tell the waveforms don't line up with the currently playing track. I think it's just a crap edit job where the editor just kind of guessed where the video should go. At around 7 minutes, he cuts out and you can hear a bunch of screaming for the next track, but looking at the audience, I don't see any change in the crowd. chrix fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Dec 16, 2010 |

SUBFRIES, that's loving ill that you're at least a part of dnb history by being featured on a Moving Shadow release. From someone who got into the game recently (about 4 years ago), I have a lot of respect for the guys who helped shape dnb into what it is today. I'm working on getting into production, so I hope to also put my footprint on my favorite form of music. Thanks for being an inspiration. On a different note, some massive new releases out... Need For Mirrors - Super Earth EP I'm really excited about this release. NFM has been incredible lately and this release is no slouch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1sMriq40zM Paul Saint Jack - Tear Gas EP I can't say I know much about Paul Saint Jack, but this release makes me want to look up a lot of his older stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLDiFHwYEVo Danny Byrd - Rave Digger (special edition) Danny added a few already released tracks, a few VIPs and instrumentals and a couple of remixes. Personally, I'll probably grab the MJ Cole remix of Tonight only because I have a secret love of bassline/garage. Amit - Never Ending I'll admit I haven't gotten around to listening to the whole thing yet, but it's good to see a guy like Amit still putting out quality tunes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJJuj8lwHQ8 ***edit: I'm a moron, this was released in 06, this is just a "re-release" Netsky / KG - Strobot / Seaside remixes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcJR107kudk chrix fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Feb 22, 2011 |

Dr. Goonstein posted:I was under the pretense that the version I loved was the original. Now I realize that the song I am in love with right now is the VIP. What an amazing song - I really don't see how anybody can dislike Netsky's work. I am not impressed with every song on his debut, but Iron Heart is one of the best around. It's pretty easy to dislike Netsky's work because he reuses the same high-pitched synthy noise on top of what would be a decent beat by itself. Half of the tunes from his album are completely unoriginal and you can tell Hospital rushed the release of the album due to his popularity surge in 2010. Secret Agent Pirate Bay Swedish House Mafia - One (Remix) Escape f/ MC Darrison Pendulum - Witchcraft (Remix) To me these all sound way too similar to play on the regular, which (for a DJ) reduces its shelf-life considerably. That doesn't mean they don't get played, but to me, Netsky takes a step away from the pure fundamentals of Drum & Bass. Sure, the genre will grow and morph, leaving the purists in the dust, but to say "I really don't see how anybody can dislike Netsky's work" confuses the hell out of me because Netsky's one of the most formulaic and unoriginal producers making dnb right now.

HJB posted:I still like Netsky but this is definitely true. The first four tunes on his album are top notch and showcase what he is capable of, but the other tunes (for me at least) just kinda blur together into one mediocre, forgettable track. However, like him or not, he's here to stay, for now at least. No doubt, and as mentioned, he does have some redeeming tunes. I hate on a lot of that poppy new-sound dnb, but honestly, those are the exact kind of tunes that got me into dnb in the first place. They're easy to digest and kind to uneducated ears, almost like a gateway drug. Pendulum's Hold Your Colour comes to mind.

Hospital used to put out goodies like this: London Elektricity - Rewind (1999) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz3J9Hr1hdA Landslide - Drum & Bossa (1999) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9N_6NdtBLs Danny Byrd - Do It Again (2000) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N9MNI4GKRM High Contrast - Return of Forever (2002) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ff0qD9zlQs compared to... B-Complex - Beautiful Lies (2010) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya-_SYDHU2Q To me, a good introduction to Drum & Bass (Hospital style) would be Plastic Surgery 3, High Contrast's True Colours, London Elektricity's Billion Dollar Gravy, or even Logistic's Now More Than Ever.

Riot.EXE posted:You know what though? If someone were just now getting into Drum & Bass, I'd rather their gateway be Netsky than Pendulum (No, I'm not a bandwagon hater of them, I used to listen to them for a little while back in '07 'cause people were hyping them like mad for some reason, and then their jig was up with me. I honestly believe they're crap.) Totally in. I'm interested in seeing how a lot of you all got into the genre in the first place as well as seeing how you'd bring others in. This should be fun. Also, while I have some abrasive things to say about Netsky, it mostly coming from a DJ's perspective. If people really like Netsky's album, more power to them. It's not BAD music whatsoever. I guess my frustrations with the whole thing exist because there is a very solid line between "dnb for the heads" and "dnb for the masses."

(see: Fasten Your Seatbelts) Hold Your Colour, In Silico, and Immersion are all multi-genre albums (including DnB, Breaks, Dubstep, and House).
