So uh...I have the opportunity to see Chase & Status at a club near me on the 5. of february. The problem is that I have an exam on the 7th. Usually I'm good at prioritizing, but now I really don't know. Is it worth to see them? I mean their stuff is decent, but how good are they live?

take the drugs tomorrow and don't see chase and status... you can thank me later

Enjoy it now because it's already being overplayed.

edit: on a more positive note, has anyone checked out Exit's new Mosiac Vol. 1 yet? It's full of that minimalistic dBridge style, if that's your thing.

Proper piano-y hardcore. Love it. I'm honestly really impressed with Skream these days. I loving hate his straight-up dancefloor dubstep but things like that are really flipping good.

yea honestly early skream was amazing and then for a while he was making some doodoo, but i'd like to think of that as his adolescent stage, but now i think he's had a somewhat of a return to form and his best works are coming out now. i am so glad he is producing jungle and dnb.

He said not many, not none at all. Offhand I can think of Bassline Smith & Youngman, and I suppose Kenny Ken & Crissy Criss count.

he's one of the funnest dudes to party with ever and generally a nice guy, which is why i always supported him and went to his shows whenever they weren't in upstate NY even though i am not the biggest fan of that style of drum and bass. i haven't been active in the scene for two years so i don't have any idea what he's been up to, but i am sure if he's still producing songs he'll always be somewhat popular since his music is very high energy and the dude knows how to have a good time (without chemicals!).

i know for a fact hoogs had spun in baltimore many times... i'm pretty sure there is a jungle community there, i had lived there a few years ago. i mean it could've fallen off since then, but i doubt it cause they are still throwin starscape.

I've tried talking to Steez so many times, but it's really helpless. I even produce, along with DJ, yet still nothing. They probably don't want to listen to a chap like me who can spin like the rest of them, but just doesn't have a label to rep, or a club to back me up.

I'm usually playing at big house parties, but haven't stepped up to the club level. I would love to play a dnb/dubstep/electro show, but I don't really know where to start. How did you catch a break with Steez? Do you live in the DC/Bmore area?

give me your mix, if it's good i'll give it to someone who works with circle management... not making any promises that you'll get a gig opening but it's worth a shot

The thing is, mainstream dnb is cheesy to a degree, because if it wasn't then it wouldn't sell (gone are the days of Timeless and New Forms). Put another way, I can't stand the artists you mentioned simply because they make pure dnb for the "heads". It's not closed-mindedness as much as the fact that that's how it is.

Hospital are a business first, a dnb label second.

So you don't like the music for the "heads" and only like the cheese? not trying to make fun of you, just trying to understand.

Dunno how many of you will be interested but Dieselboy just uploaded his latest mix 'Wake The Dead'. The link he posted was getting caned by a million people so I used one of the cooler features of Mediafire to stick it in my files so you can get at it.

Enjoy: http://www.mediafire.com/?jqbn9b176n5to0j

I appreciate the effort he put into this mix, but it sucks.

I figured that I might as well post this here. I've been making using Maschine for about 10 months, check out my soundcloud and laugh at me. I mostly make Jungle and drum and bass, with some other stuff in there.

Black Sun Empire and State Of Mind are releasing an EP on the 25th: Until The World Ends. Two tracks have been revealed already and they are insane:

Jack Nicholson
Until The World Ends

What makes these tracks any different than any other generic drum and bass that comes out nowadays? I don't get it, it's all the same song. I haven't been impressed in a while. Om unit and Fracture are like the only dudes doing anything cool nowadays. Someone please show me something interesting because I like playing drum and bass, but I why would I buy any of these tracks when they sound the exact same as my records from 1997. I would love to be absolutely wrong right now, so someone show me something.

Blocks & Escher finally dropped their album and it is justifiably gorgeous. Not too Narratives, never too Metalheadz; they crafted something utterly sublime.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAGEYahyIgs

Complex drum patterns complement the hauntingly melodic vibes while you float away from typical 170 tropes. Ebbs and flows catapult beneath you. Is this D&B or IDM?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEnJkRvYTFI

That doesn't mean there isn't anything dancefloor ready, the title track, hell the whole thing, knocks it out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdMjVvq4O94

There aren't too many D&B albums that are, well, albums. B&E crafted one for the ages. Listen to whole thing, support if you want.

I love this type of stuff but your clearing dancefloors when you drop it... once in a while tho its right.

Finally gave this a listen, solid I dig it. Deffo not gig friendly unless you've got just the right crowd but I personally love technical stuff. Also the feedback I saw dropped in the jungle thread is cool, deffo wanna hear your master or VIPs if any.


Going to see The Upbeats with Nu Elementz, Ekko & Sidetrack and Virus Syndicate early next month and then Drumsound & Bassline Smith the month after, good times in Perth.



Edit: I'm thinking of going to Let It Roll this year, has anyone else here been and did you enjoy it? Any tips for a first-time attend



thanks man... im gonna make a version with less vocals, do cooler poo poo with the bassline.

I was minding my own business making weird IDM Jungle stuff and a Juke label tapped me for an EP.

I really only did lo-fi and bitcrushed break chopping with crappy mixing so it ended up taking me forever to learn how bass handling worked and how to mix decently enough to get it done to DJ standards.

It came out about a month ago, and I tried to make something less for the hardcores and more for general listening. I'd post it in the 160 thread but that thread is just waiting to die.

http://music.goodstreetrecords.com/album/feet-can-do-the-work

It's not really getting a ton of traction because I'm an unknown in a city that doesn't do Footwork, but I aimed it partially at Konkrete Jungle dudes. I got to remix unreleased instrumental songs by Giovanni Marks (Subtitle) and Thavius Beck (Adlib)

Orko Eloheim hopped on a track, as well as Riddlore from Project Blowed. There's remixes by Jamie Thompson (Unicorns, Islands, Esmerine) under his collaborative Whateverly Bros moniker and also LB Sand, a Liquid and Garage dude from Reno.

The label's in Leeds and tends to put out Jungle and Jazz oriented 160 bpm stuff. If you poke around their roster I'd highly recommend checking out Ventah and DJ Beno.

I find it very satisfying how there's Footwork that scratches that itch for 1993 Jungle vibes.

i will get this to the right people if its dope...

Is there a DnB scene in NYC? I feel like every party I hear about is mainly a deep house sort of thing and I'm really looking to dance fast.

The best I could do in the past 12 months was when Q-bert played a DnB set in Philly I trekked down for, but I had to tolerate 4 hours of bad dubstep before he came on

Yo look into natural selection, they do konkrete jungle on mondays still, there’s always poo poo in Brooklyn. I haven’t been to ny in a while but I can guarantee you it’s probably better than Philly atm.

Any reccos on current labels that aren't just putting out formulaic 2-step? /r/DnB is completely unreliable as a source for good tunes. I've pretty much exhausted searching through & collecting tunes from the likes of Subtle, Astrophonica, Western Lore, Rupture LDN, et. al.

Pinecone moonshine, I’ll think of more later. Alphacut
