Drum & Bass Society - Thread

I love the drumming in this, dunno why.

i go through a lot of phases when i listen to dnb. used to favour jumpup (when i was young a stupid), then neuro, then hardstep, but now it's techno dnb.

here are some favourites of mine:
raiden - can't be myself
counterstrike & current value - techno is
audio - error
current value - wulf
dj hidden - times like these
counterstrike & dj hidden - vivid reality
klute - halloween
the qemists - stompbox (spor remix)
dub elements - chaos
the sect - evolve
pylon & soccom - catalyst

sets:
proket - pimp my techno
cooh & mc coppa - subdivision podcast 2

enjoyyyy

Your taste is awesome!


Try these ones on:

many thanks! i haven't listened to calyx in some time, so cheers for bringing the memories back that konflict track is an absolute classic. never heard the noisia varation before though, sounds nice and fresh. and of course, spl is always a winner. have you heard his dubstep before? sometimes i think i prefer it to his dnb (sshhhh, don't tell), but he hasn't released much. i prefer him much more as a dj than as a producer though. i saw him at therapy sessions and i nearly wet my pants. dnb + gabber kicks + dubstep interludes substituted for drops = heaven. try and find his hollowpoint recordings podcasts if you're interested!

aand to conclude, here's another for all you lovely bassheads:
temper d - techno prisoners (dean rodell remix)

SPL got me into dubstep. I listened to his dubstep (and I was a dubstep hater) but then I thought it was awesome.

The ones to really see dj'ing though are black sun empire. They come up with some of the funkiest sets, e.g. hardware in june. That night was amazing though.

BTW, I'm coming for that, just to let you know.

Went to global last weekend and gotta say Chase & Status had another amazing set. There new track Nneka - heartbeat (c&s remix) is the tune of the summer.. And subfocus- Rock it ... definetly the most overplayed track of the summer... not sure where this is going.. does anyone out there mix DNB? as i play house and DNB is impossible to mix to me?

i don't mix dnb but heaps of my friends do. apparently it's easy: just match the snares there's usually a snare on the 2nd and 4th beat in a bar since dnb is based on the same amen pattern.

Actually, in an amen the snare is half a beat before the 4th beat. In a normal 2-step beat, though, yes, it's on the 4th beat.
