I've been getting back into D&B in a big way recently and am on the lookout for some recomendations from you guys!

I'm a fan of the darker stuff, scary movie quotes & dirty reese basslines make me happy.

My playlist largely compromises of stuff by Unknown Error, Limewax, Evol Intent, Resonant Evil, Technical Itch and Dieselboy. I'm also a huge fan on the Moving Shadow label.

Any artists you could suggest would be greatly appreciated.

Marcus Intalex
Ed Rush & Optical

To add to this, the word tailoring fits really nicely because that's exactly what you need to do. Listen to your track without the drums and do what it takes to really get a feel for the shape of it. Your drums right now are a frame for the music and while drums aren't really considered an instrument in the same regards as synths are, they still contribute or take away from the track depending on what you did with them.

Feel the spots where the track builds or talks or releases and adjust the drums accordingly. Most people won't notice if drums aren't perfect but if they are, it really adds something that makes people want to come back to the track. Cut the drums in certain places or break the beat. Imagine the drums as your background color for your painting. Do you really want it to be one solid color? Subtle changes make all the difference in the world. By using different "hues" or "shades" you can draw attention to certain parts. Keep the intensity.

I think the biggest piece of advice I can offer is that your personality and ideas shape the song. The drums don't really seem like they've seen that same love. Give them some attention, inject yourself into it and you'll have something unique that people will want to listen to.

Thanks you two for the advice. Yeah I guess my drums are boring, I spend more time on them every tune, also guess it isn't enough. Cheers!

Lazee Ft. Neverstore - Hold On (Matrix & Futurebound Terrace Tantrum remix)

Suuuch a good remix, I can't believe I missed this until now. God Matrix and futurebound do it every time!

Full version of Grafix & Fred V - One of These Days just came out a few weeks ago. This was one of my most anticipated tunes ever since the pandatv fred v and grafix mix played it. The full version is even BETTER than the first version, they changed it alot and god drat this has to be my favorite song in a long time!

yea honestly early skream was amazing and then for a while he was making some doodoo, but i'd like to think of that as his adolescent stage, but now i think he's had a somewhat of a return to form and his best works are coming out now. i am so glad he is producing jungle and dnb.

That one isn't bad...I still think, "Everyday" is Netsky's best track...despite it also being the first Netsky track I ever heard.

Your Way, Memory Lane, Everday, Come Back Home and I Refuse are all loving sweet. Basically all of his older vocal stuff is awesome, I'd wager it'll have a lot more staying power than 95% of his other songs. The poo poo he's putting out these days is just :smith: worthy

This is a really nice tune, can't believe I hadn't heard this before. Thanks for this.

Dibs on both until I decide tomorrow, unless somebody else wants to do either, in which case feel free!

Also, everybody listen to the song I posted a few posts ago. Some of the best amazing chill dnb I've heard, with lush chords, amazing vocals and a warm bassline. Give it a listen and give a holla if you like it, more people need to hear this song!

Was busy last night with work so here's my Producer Favorite 5 for this week: GRAFIX

Grafix - Show Me How
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQbs4zgkNCg
Absolute sick bass in this song. Probably my favorite Grafix song, never gets old. The sub bass in this song just rattles my car it's so sick..

Grafix - Holding On
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS8q2FR3p1M
One of the lesser known tunes by him, but it's a winner. Just plain lovely, anyone who likes grafix but hasn't heard this should take a listen. Those vocals and that piano... Hits the spot. Love the synths too.

Grafix - Lack of Motion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-8riZ5SbUM
Classic. Lovely delays and synths. Great in every way, I can't imagine there's a Grafix fan who hasn't heard this song.

Grafix - I Must Say
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtf-VC7GQv4
nnngghhhhh god grafix is the master of drum loops. Such awesome drums it blows my mind. Probably one of the first songs I'd give to someone starting on listening to Grafix. Drop is loving sick.

Grafix - Take Your Time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHj0obbJX9E
Punchiest drums I've ever heard. Yet again a ridiculously catchy and addictive tune by the god known as Grafix. Love it love it love it.

Some great lists in here! I urge anybody who hasn't listened to any Grafix to give some of the tunes I listed a listen; he's really an amazing producer.

edit: I didn't include collabs, I wanted it strictly grafix, even though alot of his best songs are by him and Fred V. Guess I'll save em for next week!

I'm always late to the Friday 5's. Oh well. Here's my 5 favorite collabs, liquid style.

Fred V & Grafix - One Of These Days
Danny Byrd feat. London Elektricity - Failsafe
Indivision & Livewire - Apologies
Underworld - Scribble (Co-produced by High Contrast so it counts in my book. Such an awesome uplifting summer song)
Phesta & Shock One - The Sun (awwweesome song. Not sure if I prefer the VIP or the original but both are really good, plus the video is kinda cool)

Culture Shock started out under the tutelage of Dom Angus, would have been interesting to see if they had done work together. I also thought Culture Shock and Telemetrik had some similar vibes at one point. Will be interesting to hear a C.S. album soon.

The new tune clip - I like the pad and shuffley break, not so in to the bass tone or piano, but sounds like a great start. Also like the change up about 50 seconds in.

Anyways, been kind of quiet this summer, but here's a work in progress I just uploaded: http://soundcloud.com/r4ns0m/harry-ransom-persistance. Feedback/critique appreciated, can PM me or whatever.

Thanks man i think I'll change the piano to one single high note with more delay. What bass would you like to hear on it? Smooth sine bass, rolling low passed reece on top? Cheers!

Also Nice tune man, real real good! I could see this being played in an essential mix. Reminds be of that song with the mc going 'i flow like water, i go with the flow' from nightlife 5

Yeah, that's the sort of thing i'm looking for, but not quite. Let me order Rage's, Zahi's and EMUpirate's suggestions on how close each one is with some comments. Sorry with my language is a bit fluffy, but I never learned the jargon of music in general, let alone electronic stuff :haw:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0akFhWHKwaI Shapeshifter - Bring Change
This has the "energy" that i'm looking for, but seems "drawn out" a bit and only has one peak.

Danny Byrd & Netsky - Tonight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lspZ9A4COlc
Yeah this one is fairly close. Would like it if it was hybridized with "the sound" of the next song:

Dave Wallace - State Of Mind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZFpd5pdcRU
This one is really nice, but a bit too.. relaxed? I'd define this as a "positive chill-out". Doesn't seem to have much energy behind it.

I've grouped these together as what I've got to say is very similar between them all. They all seem to be lacking "upswings" (drops :haw:) that you have in Science of fear at )0:35 and 1:25. Again, kinda lacking in the energy (beat/tempo?) that I'm looking for.

To be honest i think the Logistics album, at least the tracks i've heard, sounds crap.. it's just the standard modern Hospital fare. Cut-up unimaginative vocals, same annoying synths and just completely predictable. We Are One was notable to me as well because i thought it the worst, it's awful.. it's so simplistic melody wise, MORE cut-up vocals as if that isn't done enough already and the synths used sound even worse trying to give it a 90s breakbeat hardcore feel; don't think that poo poo main piano hook would have been popular back in the day.

Nonsense. Crystal Skies is incredible as is Over and Out and Sendai Song.

You guys are getting seriously harsh on Hospital lately, it's kind of ridiculous. Anything that comes out on Hospital or has even a snippet of female vocal sample in it is instantly poo poo in peoples minds I guess. Just seems a little close-minded to judge an album that has 15 tracks before even listening to it. Not sure how many songs you've heard though.

also the rockwell remix of come alive is loving awful. Seriously. Interesting sure but dear god. Culture Shock remix is looking to be the best version so far.
