anything off of timeless is rockin I think

ed-rush is killer! dillinja, optical, roni size

of course squarepusher, µ-zig and afx aswell!

venetian snares, emotional joystick.....

I got this compilation from shadow records a long time ago,
rewired rhythm's, its got some nice kick back dnb by dj cam,
cujo, le gooster, jammin unit, kosma, shantel.... its a nice
album

if you can find it get it, nice and relaxing

I used to like the olden days of drum and bass, now it is
all shite. I liked the No U Turn album Torque, the old Ed
Rush & Optical singles, before that I have to confess to
liking the jump up shit coming out of Suburban Bass.
Basically I like most drum and bass before the "Tech Step"
sound was adopted by people with no talent.

Don't forget Photek's awesome Dark Drum 'n' Bass
production.

Yeah, I like some dnb here and there.

Plug's - Drum 'n' Bass for papa and Jega's - Spectrum were
some awesome releases.

American D & B Represent. Planet of the Drums! Are you ready
for three way tag team action from the AK, the Dara, and the
Diesel. We have some requests for the maximum Technical
Itch. The Ak is about to attack it.

I think Drum & Bass is a perfect music style to give it all
on the dancefloor. I used to mix D&B and really was into it.
But it?s sad that so many producers release tracks that just
all sound the the same. I mean 2,5 Minutes Intro - Drop -
Mainpart - Brigde - Mainpart. This music runs in more solid
cuffs than Blues or ragga.
I think Drum & Bass is dead now, cause no groundbreaking
tracks are released nowadays. IMO everthing that can be done
in this boundaries is done. (See the big wave of OldShool
Remixes and ReReleases 3 years ago)

has anybody heard of joker records ,they are great ,very
bouncy and outrageous bass lines
they make me laugh.
artists:
The dynamic duo
The scarecrow
The dream team
Sub zero
Pugwash
They are a very small lable but good fun.

yes the NUT album Torque is great.
as is all edrush & optical stuff. (got the creeps in my cd
player at the mo)
im liking the new roni size stuff ive heard, i bought
scrambled eggs 12", love that. Really into
trace,edrush,optical,nico,etc. Hate american DNB! Also like
zinc/hype and ram trilogy, photek is dark/moody, very cool.
dont forget ray keith and )E|B(

warpphex: try www.neurofunk.com its the official edrush+optical
site, took me ages to find it:)

Thanks dave_G ive added it to my faves list:)
the 3 radio options look good but are off line at the
moment:(
just reminded of a killer tune when i saw the name
"bacteria"on that site,that was so fresh when it come out i
played it all day long.

the radio has been off for ages. dont think i can remember
it being on ever. its a shame that site isnt very good, im
sure loads of people would want it to work better, i.e real
audio streams that actually work :)

Yea that is a shame but i cant wait till xltronic is fully
up and running;)

oh i forgot dom and roland. *hangs head in shame* isnt it
strange how people like grooverider seemed to start the
dnb(well jungle at the time) movement away from
(happy)hardcore. but now just plays "tech step" crap. loads
of people are destroying drum and bass with songs like shyfx
t power shake your body and addicted to bass, which to me
seem far too 'poppy'. why dont you ever hear ray keith on
TOTP? eh? plus as i already mentioned american dnb is
rubbish too:)

the best DnB song ive heard is 'eels' by the 'mint gun
club'..then they changed their name to 'mint royale' and
started making crap party songs. true story.

I agree.
D&b artists feel that they have to bring out a new track
every day to stay on top, but that is (imo) what is killing
the scene,because everything is rushed and the have no time
to sit and think of new ground breaking ideas.
They need to chill like that beer that can only be drunk
when its ready.

that would be grolsch. but yeah i agree definately. we need
innovation not duplication.

There should be released other Stuff than just Dance 12"es
with the same scheme everytime. Like Goldies Timeless LP.
That D&B to the core but still listenable at teatime AND has
clubtunes on it. That is the direction Id like D&B to go.
My favourite LP is whatever happend to
by Hidden Agenda.
