Old thread _________________________________________________________________________________ What Is Drum & Bass? _________________________________________________________________________________ Drum & Bass (DNB) is a subgenre of electronic music that came about in the UK in the 1990s as an evolution of another subgenre, jungle. DNB is usually categorized by fast tempos (BPMs of 160-180) and prominent sub-bass (bass at low frequencies that you feel more than hear). Many DNB tracks feature samples. Here's an informative video about some key elements/history of DNB: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SaFTm2bcac The Amen break isn't required to make DNB, but if you've heard music with it before (which you probably have at least sometime in the last 25 years or so, even if you weren't aware of it), you already have a pretty good idea of what DNB sounds like. Auspex posted:Generally drum and bass songs have a minute or so long intro building up to a drop where the bassline kicks in. Most tunes feature a breakdown and a second drop. There is a huge amount of energy in these drops and a DJs job is to keep building and releasing tension by controlling the flow of the drops and breakdowns while mixing from one tune to the next. What Does Drum & Bass Sound Like Today? _________________________________________________________________________________ The lighter side of DNB is referred to as "liquid" (Liquid Funk) and contains more layers of instrumentation. I suppose that darker DNB could also be liquid, but that's usually not the case. Hospital Records, who've been around since 1996, is the biggest label on that front. Artists currently signed to Hospital include High Contrast, Danny Byrd, Nu:Tone, London Elektricity, Logistics, S.P.Y, Fred V, Grafix, Metrik and more. Hospital hosts "Hospitality" live events, including some of the biggest drum & bass festivals in the world. Hospital also has a sub-label, Med School, for more experimental DNB. Artists on Med School include Bop, Etherwood, Keeno, Whiney and more. Other notable liquid artists include Cyantific, Matrix + Futurebound, Netsky and Calibre. Examples: Cyantific - Don't Follow [ft. Diane Charlemange] (off Cyantific's album "Ghetto Blaster") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xATnABqp3M Metrik - Chasing Sunrise (off Metrik's album "Life/Thrills") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBBly4My8p0 Logistics - Take Me To Another World [ft. Stella Attar] (off Logistics' album "Electric Sun") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NriCtl5Wf0 Fred V & Grafix - Comb Funk (off Fred V & Grafix's album "Oxygen") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anSpm13FTcs Matrix & Futurebound - Fire [ft. Max Marshall] [Extended DJ Edit] (off Matrix & Futurebound's "Fire" single) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aikWr4Vibig On the darker, dirtier side of DNB are artists like Noisia, Dieselboy, Black Sun Empire, Calyx and Evol Intent. Darker DNB is usually more simplistic and focused on strictly drums and basslines rather than layers of instruments like liquid is (but not exclusively). Examples: Calyx & Teebee - Enygma (off Calyx & Teebee's album "Anatomy") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGwbLY-MazM Dom & Roland - King of the Hustlers (off Dom & Roland's album "Last Refuge of a Scoundrel") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7yzvuK3Wcg Dieselboy + Kaos - Barrier Break (off Dieselboy's album "The Human Resource", as well as the Need For Speed: Most Wanted soundtrack) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzueWghQiRs Noisia & The Upbeats - Dead Limit (off Noisia & The Upbeats' "Dead Limit" EP) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz_OgmkbCXg Artists that toe the line between liquid and dark DNB include TC, Pendulum, Delta Heavy and Sub Focus. Examples: TC - Storm Brew [ft. Stylo G] [Whiney Remix] (off Hospital Records' "We Are 21" compilation) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMnFFGGjTzg Pendulum - Blood Sugar (off Pendulum's album "Hold Your Colour") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26Rl096vMf0 Sub Focus - Last Jungle (off Sub Focus' self-titled album) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDp7Znr8iRs Delta Heavy - Tremors (off Delta Heavy's album "Paradise Lost") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc5UMRMX8_U _________________________________________________________________________________ What Should I Start With If I Want To Get Into Drum & Bass? _________________________________________________________________________________ Personally, I started with a couple compilations: Dieselboy's HUMAN Resource (darker/dirtier stuff) and Tayla's Soul Survivors, which included some DNB pioneers like LTJ Bukem, Makoto and Future Engineers. Really, it depends on what side of DNB you think you'll lean more towards. If you've listened to the examples I've posted in here, try to gauge what sounds most appealing to you. I'll recommend a few albums/mixes here: High Contrast - Tough Guys Don't Dance: This is probably my most listened to DNB album. Every track is a banger in some way and the album has never gotten old for me despite listening to it since 2007 when it was released. To me, this is refined liquid DNB at its best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvmnYId1ckI Sub Focus - Sub Focus: As a first album, this is a really killer effort. It isn't strictly drum & bass, as there are some tracks from other genres on it too, but the drum & bass tracks are the real standouts, I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziU0rc3-yU4 Pendulum - Hold Your Colour - This is one of the first few DNB albums I ever heard, and it's definitely one of my favorites. I don't think I could think of a better album to recommend someone interested in checking out drum & bass. It's a great showcase of the genre in different forms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZR2p-DhSX4 Evol Intent - Era Of Diversion - These guys are a supergroup of sorts. It's 3 members, and each has a different background. What they bring to the table across multiple genres is absolutely massive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrxQ_Suypns Netsky - Netsky - Netsky burst onto the scene in '09 when he signed to Hospital, and his first album (released in 2010) quickly became one of my favorite DNB albums ever. Each time I listen to it, I never skip a track on it. Some are better than others, sure, but they're all great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCC_AvmHpR4 Dieselboy's The Destroyer mixes - 2 mixes (one from 2014 and one from 2017) which showcase Dieselboy at his best, seamlessly mixing together some of the filthiest DNB you'll hear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xouOnHxYUw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJxKXOTNXjc Submerged - Ohm Resistance Spring 2019 DJ Mix (HEAVY AS FUUUUUUUUUCK) S.P.Y's BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mM03G5kJTg Andy C's Ultra 2014 mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1yB5QV-mHU The Hospital Records Podcast is a great way to get turned onto new tunes/artists. It usually comes out weekly, is usually an hour long or more and is usually hosted by Hospital co-owner/London Elektricity himself, Tony Colman. It's also fantastic to work out to! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IRiuLy0IW4 _________________________________________________________________________________ Auspex posted:How is DnB released? I'm sure even with all the material here, there's still a lot I left out. So go ahead and discuss!

Thanks for the new thread Rageaholic Monkey! OP needs a little more info, but it's a great start! Just noticed last Jungle in the OP, love that tune! I'm hooked on Spor's Overdue (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FACB8jh_T24) at the moment. For some reason I've really been into female vocals in my dnb lately. fenner posted:I think all of those are signed with Hospital Records.. Interesting. I guess hospital snap up all the decent lighter dnb artists, are there any other major labels? In short, Hospital is the premier liquid funk (lighter style) dnb label. They also have a few sub-labels such as Med School and M*A*S*H. Other labels you might want to check out would be Breakbeat Science, RAM Records, and Metalheadz just to name a few.

You should look into Shogun Audio. They sometimes ride the line between light and dark, but they have been doing some very big things lately: Alix Perez - Contradictions (from the 1984 album) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG6cat6NXBg Total Science & SPY - Above the Clouds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g8gd2Cwh48 Subwave - Think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-DE80xgBJ0 Subwave is also featured on Hospital's "Future Sounds of Russia" album from last year Spor - Aztec http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvSAG16oFAc Icicle f/ Noisia - Driftwood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4Wi4V1X3Mo from their Cold Fear EP

Other labels you might want to check out would be Breakbeat Science, RAM Records, and Metalheadz just to name a few. Breakbeat Science is probably finished as a label, but if someone is looking for good CDs and singles from the past, yeah, I would seek out the BBS stuff. Used CD shops might be a good place to score the CDs. A mention of Soul:R and V Recordings (they are slowly putting out new releases) would be good for the lighter fare. Maybe a nod to the resurgence of minimal, namely the latest output on Critical Recordings and some of the stuff on Shogun Audio (which I have always viewed as a culmination of several sub-genres), and specifically artists like Rockwell, Sabre, some of Alix Perez's material, Icicle, Code 3 (e.g. Jubei, SP:MC and Danzou), hell, most of the stuff on Exit Recordings lately. Also, I am a Commercial Suicide fan, great label to check out regularly. Almost at their 50th release, and I think Subtitles Recordings is up to about release 75.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Pendulum - Fasten Your Seatbelts These two I would probably pull, for these reasons: • Pendulum - "Fasten Your Seatbelts" is a breakbeat tune (kind of tearout breaks, at that), tempo is about 132 BPM and not in the usual range of drum'n'bass (usually around 170 to 175 BPM, although the mid to late 0's stuff was sometimes in the 165 to 169 range, and earlier then that, it was 150 to 160). • Sub Focus - "Last Jungle" is like a throwback, retro tune, runs around 145 BPM. It has the feel and sound of old jungle, which has seen a little resurgence in the past year. A few other recent examples of this include: – Skream's "Burning Up" (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi-4Fd187bs) on Digital Soundboy – Cluekid's "The Sound" (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btRBJ6M0JVI) on Aquatic Labs – Goth Trad's remix of Skream & Cluekid's "Sandsnake" (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJrLsr5aJys) on Disfigured Dubs All of those artists are generally associated with dubstep, but they are exploring outside of the stereotypical definition of dubstep, in my opinion. And I am sure there are ton of artists doing this, that I am not even aware of.

Any suggestions for what I should add to the OP? I know one thing I forgot: As far as DNB mixes go, there are a ton of them out there, but here's a few I can recommend: All the Hospital Records Podcasts. I've only heard a few of these myself, so I'm not really sure which one exactly to recommend first (maybe someone else here can help me out with this), but every one I've heard has been stellar. Hospital Records' "Sick Music" - A really solid double-album full of mixes featuring Hospital artists, as well as up-and-coming DNB artists. The consensus in the last thread was that this mix is fantastic, and I agree. Definitely check this one out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKBrW5tqqH0 High Contrast's FabricLive25 Mix - High Contrast is one of my absolute favorites when it comes to DNB, mainly because of how well put together everything he comes out with is. The energy never stops flowing with this one. The end is arguably my favorite part, HC's track "Days Go By" (his version of Stevie Nicks' "Edge Of Seventeen"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdLzEXoHXg0

Sick Music 2 has been leaked and is also killer. There are some craaaaaazy tracks. If you can track down and locate the bbc radio one essential mixes of pendulum (or you can ask me about them via AIM) they are both hugely hugely stellar. High Contrast and Netsky are probably my favorite two artists currently producing, and if I recall both netsky and HC have releases slated for '10. If HC does anything close to Tough Guys Don't Dance (I don't care if you even like dnb get this album now) I will be blown away and so happy. Netsky has been pounding out great tracks for a while now, and Hospital's signing of him has gotta be a huge bonus. You might recall earlier in the thread a 16bit remix of Noisia, which was ruinous. I'm a more liquid-minded guy, but after I linked the remix to a buddy he pointed me toward a 16bit single (dubstep, but dnb and 'step are pretty closely linked so why not). I was pleasantly suprised. I would also love to see that melody remixed into dnb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1EwGeuLYJs feedtheid fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Apr 13, 2010 |

Already listed 4 in my OP, but here, have another 6 in addition to those: TC's Evolution Tayla's Soul Survivors Cyantific's Ghetto Blaster Noisia's Split The Atom DJ Fresh's Escape From Planet Monday D.Kay's Individual Soul Keep in mind that these are just a few DNB albums that I think are cohesive. This is also just one way of listening to drum and bass. There's a large percentage (I think larger than the percentage of albums) of singles/mixes, so just take this as an introduction.

There's too many different subgenres of DnB to compile such a list, plus everyone's tastes are different. Personally, i'd get Hold Your Colour by Pendulum and then branch out from there. As I posted in the old thread, Liquid DnB is pretty big at the moment and there's a LOT of it out there. As for compilations, get Nightlife 2 by Andy C. You won't regret it. His other Nightlife compilations are great as well, but Nightlife 2 has something for everyone. EDIT - TC's Evolution is indeed, a killer album.

That's another thing I didn't put in the OP, 90s DNB. Here's some to rectify that: LTJ Bukem - Music: This one was also included in Tayla's Soul Survivors mix that I recommended earlier in the thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWR3HppFUxM Roni Size & Reprazent - Trust Me: From their album New Forms, which is widely regarded to be one of the best DNB albums of the 90s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxeStgwA6gk Goldie - Timeless: From his album Timeless, also one of the best DNB albums of the 90s, and considered by many to be the best DNB album ever. This is just half of the song because YouTube only allows 10 minutes, but you can get a sense of the scale of this track, even though it's only a preview of sorts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxbLIgQft_I There's also the radio station MSX FM from Grand Theft Auto 3, which contained a pretty good mix of DNB/jungle tracks. This track's from 2001, but it's still got that older DNB style to it: Omni Trio - First Contact https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJHK9WOSBTY Rageaholic fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Apr 14, 2010 |

It's been said before, but Pendulum, despite their "fall from DnB", used to do some really great DJ sets. Their essential mix is one of the first I got into and it's still great, even today. http://www.breaksblog.biz/pendulum-essential-mix-180905/ Also, every Dieselboy mix will cure that "hard and dirty" itch. Check out 6ixth Session, The Dungeonmaster's Guide, and Substance D. Some people scoff at BUYING actual DJ mixes, but Dieselboy's are definitely worth owning.

Like I said, I started listening to DNB with Dieselboy's The HUMAN Resource, and I still consider it to be some of the best dark DNB. That and Substance D are good to start with. I haven't listened to Dungeonmaster's Guide or 6th Session, but if they've got the same quality as HUMAN Resource and Substance D, hell, get 'em all.

butch thumperton posted:Thirding the Dieselboy suggestion, also check out the Therapy Sessions mixes, any recorded Renegade Hardware sets you can find, and the Lifted Music podcasts. The Mechabyte Podcasts are sometimes a little hard to find, but they give a good flavour of the darker, heavier side of eastern European/Russian DnB, which is where an awful lot of talent seems to flow from. Very much a different sound to what you might hear out in a club with artists like Andy C headlining.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out as soon as I'm not relying on my phone for internet. I do like Dieselboy, but I've only heard one album, I think it was System Upgrade or something like that. I remember really liking the Stakka & Skynet tracks on there.

It is a great resource for drum'n'bass discographies, can help you find new stuff to check out too, e.g. you like Stakka & Skynet, so you look them up and see that they also go by Kraken and Profound Noise, as well as other related artists: http://www.rolldabeats.com

SUBFRIES posted:Here is the mix I did for the DOA x UAF DJ Mix competition, that was due today: I've checked out a few of your radio sets and enjoyed them, but this is definitely above and beyond. It's very technical and has a near-perfect flow. Great stuff man, hope you win it!

Thanks guys I feel like I'm getting back in to form with DJing. I guess the main thing with this little mix (which a few friends are asking I make in to a full mix) versus the radio show sets is that I just wing it on the shows, where as this mix I worked out what I want to play and work out the mixes a bit before recording.

It's always been one of my favorites I love the way it seamlessly blends together jazzy elevator music and DNB. It's so relaxing to listen to, while also getting the blood flowing. On paper, it probably doesn't sound like a great idea, but the way it's executed is just marvelous. I really want him to make another album, but Individual Soul is great, and if that's the only album he comes out with, I'd be okay with that. It's a few years old and I still haven't worn it out.

Going back through old essential mixes to find subwave, noisia and goldie was fun. I have something to listen to at work today! Quick googles get you tons of download links.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:That's another thing I didn't put in the OP, 90s DNB. Here's some to rectify that: I love all these tracks and artists. My first dnb album was Conversions by Kruder and Dorfmeister from like 1996, which was just a 10 track mix of a bunch of jungle artists that were big around that time (Omni Trio, Aquasky, Roni Size) That 90s' jazzstep sound is still what I listen to the most when I play jungle, shame it's not as popular anymore. Liquid is pretty drat good too though, and luckily there's tons of it. shoutout to zeldadude.

Westmountdke posted:You guys cannot suggest listening to Pendulum without posting the most epic video of all time  And then there's their remix of The Prodigy's Voodoo People, which is actually epic in the literal sense (both the song and the video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKXKWBcaV3A Seriously, Pendulum has some loving massive tracks. I know In Silico gets poo poo on a lot for not being "real drum-and-bass" or whatever (as evidenced in the old thread), but listen to tracks like Midnight Runner and tell me that's not some goddamn awesome DNB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaDvEWawcCA Anyway, most DNB fans are more taken with Hold Your Colour. It's got both dark/hard AND light/liquid sounding stuff, so it's accessible to basically everyone who listens to DNB. And it's one of the most essential albums for any DNB fan for this reason. 14 tracks, most of which are extremely memorable, with songs on both sides of the spectrum. What's not to love? I've never talked to a fan of drum-and-bass that didn't like Hold Your Colour, honestly.

Can't believe my two favourite Pendulum tracks haven't been posted yet: Pendulum - Through The Loop Pendulum - Masochist <- This one really goes off.
