SUBFRIES posted:• 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). Sorry but if you're going to post any Pendulum tune, it has to be Voyager. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8Y8uPuoZWE&fmt=18 Filth. Whilst I'm on the older, darker flowing tunes vibe, these got some ridiculous rotation in their day: Calyx - Illusions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oU85vW_QZU Corrupt Souls - Dropzone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhSRNuOKKz0 Black Sun Empire - Arrakis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlLqfQ88Agw State of Mind - Sunking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ8Uh1dg1NQ Black Sun Empire - Smoke (Sinthetix remix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04I6ucQ5qtg Signal to Noise - Nanobugs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7FNfsYjebE Neurophonic fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Apr 14, 2010 |

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.

wrok posted:Holy poo poo were you on target with the Mechabyte podcasts. The opening song on the first one (his own tune: Flame - Silencer) is unbelievably good. Highly recommended, at least as far as I've listened through them. Serious, the guy is an incredibly talented producer. It's a shame that so little of that kind of stuff makes it this far west on wax, although if you dig a little you can find web releases. Check out mixes by IZM, and have a scout around this site for mixes that contain tracks by artists featured on the Mechabyte podcasts for more of the same: http://www.drumandbass.ru/forum/index.php?showforum=21 Bit of an effort but so, so worth it when you find those ridiculous layered beats and raw basslines.

SUBFRIES posted:I doubt there will be much at Club 24 nowadays, but I didn't like the venue because they did not have the power to run sound systems properly. This is one of the things that I'd struggle with, working with soundsystems regularly. You guys seem to have to put in a lot more work than would otherwise be necessary just because of the arcane decision to hold off on AC supplies and then sticking at 110v. I'm lucky to find a 32 amp feed in a venue here at the best of times, but at least when I do I can hang double the amount of boxes off of it than I could over the pond. Drum and bass and dubstep pretty much demand a system that makes it hard to breathe and your vision blurred, and I'd hate to have to lug in extra cabinets and amps just to achieve that effect because doing a load in, partying and then loading out is already a killer.

SUBFRIES posted:If you make it over the states and come down to DC, I'll take you to U Hall. It's what I wish all the sound systems in this city were like. I don't wanna get too spergy about soundsystems but they are a crucial part of drum and bass for me. We're quite fortunate here that the majority of events around the UK understand this and hire in walls of bass bins (mine included) to make a night something special. I'm always interested in having a nosy at a club's spec but it seems their site doesn't list anything technical, just a cute Q&A: Q: Is the soundsystem at U Street Music Hall really THAT good? A: Yes. If you're there anytime soon and fancy prodding the soundboy to find out what they use I'd like to know just for speaker geek purposes! Here's what I put in for the last 300 capacity dubstep, hip hop and drum and bass dance I helped put on for a few friends:  If I had my way I'd have put in the other identical stack the other side of the stage but the manager was having none of it. Mexican Samurai posted:Andante is the normal tempo for most Modern Dance, I just don't want people to criticize me for dancing half speed to a song with a way faster count. Try using something by D-Bridge or Instra:Mental, or anything 'Autonomic' then. Still DnB, just fewer beats!

Auspex posted:Yeah pretty much any given weekend in London is gonna have a sweet dnb line up somewhere. You should have no trouble finding an event to go to, just use facebook and check out all the big clubs' websites closer to the time. I'm not sure you're going to get any of the 'fifteen headliners in one night' type events for a while now, what with Matter closing down. There'll still be plenty on, but it will be spread across several smaller nights.

HAI posted:Playaz will still be at Fabric, and I guess Hospitality will move there. Hard to say how things will be a year from now on, obvs. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, it gives the chance for smaller promoters to put on a stonking headliner that will pull in the crowds and expose more undergroud or up and coming artists easily by proxy. It's all well and good going to a night where everybody playing has sold a million records or whatever but I've always been a fan of the atmosphere of a more intimate event.

Norrisimo posted:for any fans of Hospital and/or Female vocals on DnB Tracks, I was listening to the Hopistal Podcast the other night, and the lovely London Elektricity reminded me of this stonking night coming up in London Trust me, you really, really do not want to miss this. I shall hopefully be putting in a big chunk of our system with a few other companies for a seriously monster rig. We're talking double the amount of the same bass cabinets that were used for the Red Bull Music Academy soundclash - http://www.lo-la.co.uk/2010/02/18/rbma-culture-clash-the-reasoned-hungover-review/ quote:During the third round I was a good 20 meters from the stack and my whole body was rattling. Considering the space and its acoustics, the guys won that hands down. They destroyed all other sounds. And maybe even a few extra, just to be cheeky.

Auspex posted:I was at the soundclash and it was mental...if youre planning on using double the amount of bass cabs then it will be ridiculous! Are you part of Hospital records or Brixton academy or something? Nah, I run a sound hire company up in Manchester and have the same kit that was used for the RBMA thing. That gig was done by good friends in the Dirt Soundsystem, and they're basically bringing as many of the same cabinets together as they can for some serious silliness for Hospitality. It's not finalised yet but looking very, very promising. I suggest you find a good set of earplugs!

Don't want to mislead anybody so that Hospitality event is no longer using our proposed setup. They seem to have a ridiculously small budget and wanted to spend less than £1000 for 40 speaker cabinets, 75kw of amps, 8 Pioneer CDJ2000s, 5 DJ mixers etc etc. Considering that much kit needs an articulated truck to be transported they were basically dreaming. A shame as we were really looking forward to it.

Anae posted:So you like the big tear-out numbers but not the heads-down stompers. I love both, but they have to be played at the right time really. They have very different places in a set. And it's one of Noisia's strengths that their production is top notch in all styles of bass music, even if the actual sound isn't your cup of tea. On that subject, I've seen Block Control doing the rounds again in some sets recently. It's incredible how much it goes off when the drop comes in.

I'm terrified of megaclubs, a bit, actually but this sounds like a good time, cheers! Is that board a good place to hear about this kind of thing generally or...? Get tickets in advance and get there a little bit earlier than you'd otherwise expect. Fabric can get very busy but it's not uncomfortably so most of the time, just prepare for slightly long waits to buy drinks. Also, make sure you actually get onto the dancefloor, it physically pulses in time to the kickdrum and if you or your friends haven't been clubbing before it will help you get into the mood a bit.
