tah

Re: Drum & Bass

I love D&B to dance to but have no idea about whats good track wise

Re: Drum & Bass

Have mentioned this before on here but, as someone who's not massively into dnb the best i've ever heard was High Contrast's mix for the Fabric live series (number 25 i think). If you like trance he's probably the most accessable as his music is very melodic, almost cinematic, rather than the bass driven stuff you tend to hear.

Only a suggestion but look out this mix - was fucking class!!

Cheers ill have a look out for it

Saw high contrast last week...he was immense! Absolutely amazing you wanna check him out, at one stage the music put me into a trance like only trance music has done before! Was amazing, lovely warm sounding basslines and i was away!

my mates a massive d&b fan....i'll ask her & will let you know

Pendulum - Slam

Pendulum is drum and bass for fairies, great to sing along to but it wont make your ears bleed.

Heres a few decent tracks to get you started

Shy FX & T Power - Mercy
Ed Rush & Optical - Pacman (ram trilogy mix)
DJ Krust - Warhead (Andy C mix)
Chase & Status - Duppy Man
Dillinja - Grimey
Sinthetix - Liar
DJ Marky & DJ Patife - So Tinha Que Ser Com Voce

my mate is a d&b dj in the town

Anyone into Drum and Bass should get themselves down to Curves at the Casino Club this Saturday for a night of old-skool classics.

I'm playing the warm-up from 10 till 12 playing some dubstep and heavy nu/old breaks.

Last time was quality, this should be even better!

im not quite sure what im supposed to do with this information, but thanks anyway

Cheers Joe, G.H & Ruth

what a sly way to plug

If you are starting to like Drum n Bass but don't wann go straight into the heavy stuff I can heavily recommend an album called 'In Rotation' by DJ Marky and Xrs. The are brazillian Dnb producers and dj's and their tunes are proper sunkissed chilled beats.

I live with a bunch of lads who love house but hadn't listened to dnb before. I played the album for them and they all wanted a copy! It's great.

Another good album is 'Diary of a Digital Soundboy' by Shy Fx and T Power. Not to heavy either and good sing along tracks.

If you'd like something heavy to try out then give the following mix album a try: Breakbeat Kaos by Adam F and Dj Fresh. It's my favourite cd ever! Absoloute blinder and it showcases come of the classic tunes from the past few years like 'Ska' by DJ Zinc, 'Scrambled eggs' by Roni Size, 'Evac Q8' by DJ Hazard, 'Those DJ's' by DJ SS, 'Lyric on my Lip' by Tali, and 'Barcelona' by DK and Epsilon. All absolute stonkers!
The cd also has MC GQ rhyming over the tunes and he is an absolute legend, seen him live twice and he's mint!

In the fabriclive series look for High Contrast, DJ Hype, and J Majik. All good!

Finally look for Pendulums album 'Hold Your Colour'. Best DnB album of last year!

its all about liquid funk!

if you want some harder stuff try DJ Zinc.


also worth checking is the old Mickey Finn stuff.

the musics great on the first set, wish whoever it is thats speaking would shut the fuck up though, he speaks over every track

well it is from a radio site

another mix and interview by Craggz & Parallel Forces

http://www.breakbeat.co.uk/features/CraggzParallel.html

Craig James, Doug McAvoy and Malcolm Sharp local lads who've been doing things in drum and bass for years, now signed to valve one of the scenes most respected labels (run by dillinja/lemon d) and run their own Product label, good on them boys done good

haha aye you dont hear people waffling like that though, they may aswell have sat and had a conversation through the whoel thing lol
granted the music is canny

larrrdon drum and bass rudeboyz do tend to love the sound of their own patter

bukem is class like, volume one of earth is excellent... and some of the logical progression cd's are well worth the £££
