This is what drum and bass sounds like at the
moment. Any jungleheads on here who are still producing
anything? Planning on tying up a few tracks myself over the
next month or two

ahahaha... But then again, I always did like the ultra
simplistic dnb beat.

The best dnb related shiz I've heard over the past few years
is Macc and dgoHn... also liking post post post post post
dubstep half tempo dnb drumstep shit, like this

And overall, I still miss old school photek.

I also enjoy fatboy slim's take on dnb, with the big beat bd
on every other beat, etc.

Basically- nowadayz, people just ain't got the groove.

Like WHAT THE FUCK----- Listen to Ni Ten Ichi Ryu,
muthafuck--- that shit pops so damn hard.

Macc and dgoHn are fucking superb, and a handful of other
Exegene artists definitely still have the torch lit. I had a
gorgeous time out camping up in the mountains a few months
back, sprinting in the moonlight under low boughs of trees,
attached at the hip by a headphone splitter to one of my
best mates, with 7C 1020 (and then XMD 5a) blaring into our
drunken ears.
I've never gotten into Photek for serious; I like a handful
of tracks such as C Note and The Third Sequence, is there
anything particular you'd recommend, LP-wise?

Photek is all about Ni Ten Ichi Ryu on endless repeat, as
you slice through your enemies in the snow in slow motion.

Early shit like Modus Operandi, Form & Function, and
Solaris- Photek was really on some path of expression, cuz
it's not like the dyude just discovered dnb and put that
beat in everything. He was trying to express a mood and
styles varied (from dnb to house), but still with that
Photek boooowmb pop shuffle stylez. Fuckin' nutz.

Here's some Photek PHUQING BOWMB:
duuuuude.....:
knitevision

Trans 7

and i never even heard this one, but wtf fffUFUUFUUUCK

Modus Operandi it is. Minotaur is one off there that I like
q. well. Have you heard any of the Exegene releases?
Dis one is pretty nifty

DnB is like Dubstep. The early stuff is staggeringly good,
but it lost its direction and 95%+ of the contemporary stuff
is absolute junk.

Oh and Netsky's Remix (the VIP, not the standard)
of "Everyday" by Rusko is some of the 5% I like of the new
stuff. On paper, I should hate this track: Rusko, all about
the midrange on the bassline, high-energy, jump up style
composition and silly pitched up hardcore-style vocals. I
don't though, I love it. I reckon Freqy would like the
relentless optimism of the track too.

Definitely not my bag, but we all have our vice tracks that
slip in under the radar. Have you got anything recent you've
been working on that you mentioned in another thread that
you can share?

These are probably the two most recent tracks that are
online:
City Life
H-Bomb

I like dem pads in City Life, I'm always intrigued to hear
how other Reason users put the synth modules through their
paces. Also interesting to see you have a track up with
Monoid, I wouldn't have expected collaboration would be on
the cards for him

I've got Rob Papen Predator for Reason now, which is great
as a "do everything" synth. It's probably the nearest to an
Access Virus that I've come across in software (bar the DSP
card software version Access made years ago). Subtractor is
alright, but basic, unless you add a long/complex FX chain
(that track "tibbar's birthday snooze" is all, even the
snoring, just one combinator with a hellaciously complext FX
chain on the back of it). Malstrom is nice at what it does,
but very unique sounding and not that versatile. Thor was a
step in the right direction, but a bit of a pig to program.

That track is years old, but one of my favourites. We did it
in floops, he posted the start of a track and I extended it
into a full track. 90%+ of the sounds in it are his doing.

Do you fancy doing a collaborative Reason track? What
version are you running?

Yeah Thor is the one I get the most varied sound out of, and
the Malstrom is probably the most straightforward and also
digital sounding synth for lead patches, though it can be
used for some nice quiet arps or drawn-out white noise and
ambient type sounds too.

A collab would definitely be fun, I'm using version 4
myself. I'll send you an .rns file rather than a shite
SoundCloud compress if your email on here is still one that
you use.
