I used to be into Jungle/D&B 10-15 years ago, the best DJ's at that time were Kenny Ken and Mickey Finn, a couple of my friends used to DJ D&B and got paid to do it, so stick at it, one even went on to producing garage/uk grime music.
i dont want to argue here ... but shiiiit.. when i started to spin really good and effortless I couldnt visit any parties any more because no matter who big star dj was i could hear these thing that bothered me... sound quality in the clubs and dj skills... so i was recording some sets ... people wanted to listen to what I made ... so anyway later on i was invited to spin for cash.... did it a cople of times ... and saw what fucking retards the rest of the DJs are... fucking trash cans... than i didnt want to have any part of it... i still have the turntabels & mixer tho... i listen to some old LPs .. not spining tho. Plus.. these DJ's that spin on cd's ... they suck balls.
i got into D&B a couple years back after hearing pendulum's essential mix and downloading their first album...prior to that i had no interest in electronic music. However, after pendulum i only listened to DJ Patife and DJ marky...klute a little bit...but i need some recommendations for dnb similar to pendulums old shit (i don't like their new album)
just recently downloaded chase & status' essential mix...lovin it as well..not as melodic as pendulum's though
drum and bass is definitely a great genre of music, here in so cal we have alot of events that have dnb rooms with Djs like Dieselboy, ak1200, dj dara...and the MCs hyping everyone up...its a really good type of music to let loose to...
i was allways into jungle top 3....doc scott here come the drums,ruffige cru vip riders ghost,dead dred dead bass...anyone here go to quest,q club,eclipse... goood times
im hopeing grooverider will be on the drum and bass show tonight(on radio 1)
i think its a disgrace that noone stood up for him in the bosses on radio 1...wankers!
big up the RIDER!!!!!!
the S the U the P the E the R !!!!!!!
If you haven't heard Dieselboys ill skillz remixes, you should defiantly check them out, Its almost a blend of trance and DnB, but more on the DnB side.
Big time dnb head here. Been listening to it since early 90's when it first started to evolve from acid n early rave. Been a big fan none stop all that time. Love all genre's. Jump up, liquid, naurofunk, hard step, tech step, dark step, etc etc etc. Love it all.. Love doin my own mix's. ooo ye, i rock... lol.... upload the to the net sometimes, if i can be assed.. Evan my signature, i nicked from playaz, logo...
if you guys like drum and bass. I've been listening to www.bassdrive.com for a long while now, they've got live DJ's round the clock, and they all play a different style of music. Pretty good stuff usually.
I got my tech's and rane mixer, maybe i should give the scratching a break and get back into mixing up some DnB
I used to spin (real vinyl!) but not d&b... minimal Swedish/Minneapolis style techno. All the great stuff from the late 90s... Adam Beyer, Cari Lekebusch, Chris Sattinger, etc. along with some really crazy stuff, I'd throw in Hardkiss or Soul Oddity. Oh, the good ol' days. As I got older, I got more into the d&b stuff. Love the NZ scene and it's hard to beat the good dark British sound. Big Photek fan. I also produce, my bedroom is more studio than bed. I'm trying to do D&B, but somehow what I make always ends up kinda chill...
