Any Drum and Bass (DNB) Fans?
 

Just checkin if ther are any fellow DNB heads here?

What are you feelin at the moment (artists, tracks,mixes)?
I'm basicly a mix junky. I love to collect dj sets.
I appreciate all types of dnb (depends on my mood).
Some DJs / artists I dig are bailey, high contrast, raiden, capital j, dara, hive, keaton, etc.

Not really a 'fan'... but can just say that went to a DnB night few month back at local club, just because we had nothing better to do at the time, and really enjoyed it, opened my eyes a bit to a genre of music had never really considered previously...

I quiet like D'n'B.. not really up to the date with the scene but )EIB( are/were pretty cool.

As well as this New Zealand DnB act called Concord Dawn, which I highly recommend.

Myself, not really a DnB fan, altho a friend of mine has a tape of this Jamacian smooth jazzy type, heavy bass shit that is perfect for smoking spliffs too. He told me the type of music, but I don't remember. Someone help.

yah, there's been a few threads on this topic, do a search.. you'll find lots of like-minded folks =)

I live in Seattle, and there's a great live DnB act out of here called Siamese. I think their website is http://www.siamesednb.com ?
and I mean, ALL LIVE... actual drum set, real bass, keyboards & turntablism on the fly... they are INCREDIBLE and have been gaining alot of noteriety.. check them out before they become the next big trend ;)

that is all..
/end ramble

i live just South of Seattle, i haven't heard of Siamese before. we will keep our eys open for them.
but as for Seattle DnB, we definately love Zacharia, Nitsuj and every body else who is making there way over to http://graylife.com/index.html

I love DnB

Right now I'm liking

Klute
Cause4Concern
Concord Dawn
Teebee
Raiden
Dj Db

do a search on NWTekno.org ... I think something has been posted regarding their upcomming gig... otherwise, check siamesednb.com =)

Gah, I tried to listen to some of the bands mentioned, it all seems to spastic to me. Someone hook me up with something more mellow, maybe it is cause i am a bit drunk now, but no matter. Help!

Most of the artists listed in this thread aren't live bands, but rather producers or djs. Anyway for more mellow/groovey drum and bass try listening to

LTJ Bukem,
Big Bud,
Mathematics,
High Contrast,
Fabio,
Marcus Intalex,
Calibre,
Matrix

I've been geting more and more into D & B and jungle recently. The underground US scene has some amazing music pouring out of it. Check out:

Sound Murderer
Remarc

Again, good rec's usualsuspect. I was going to suggest LTJ too, they're good. Really good. :D

I've been out of town and havent had a chance to check these bands out, but once I get home I'll definetly give them a listen, and report back! Thanks!.. er.

add:
London Elektricity
Mokoto
Architex
Exile (although he does *hard* stuff too)
Dagga
Danny C

I'm a drum and bass junkie. I've been playing it for about a year and a half. I usually stick to the harder/tech stuff. Although I do play lighter/jazz sets on the occasion.

right now I'm liking the new Evol Intent -- 7 angels with 7 plagues -- Barcode
also the new Subwave.

Labels I watch: Renegade Hardware, Gain, Project Human, Hospital, Moving Shadow, Commercial Suicide, Penetration, Freak, Outbreak, Rewind

Artists I watch: Evol Intent, Technical Itch, Klute, D.Kay, Concord Dawn, Subwave, Karl K, London Elektricity, Kaos, The Militia, Dom and Roland, Soundmurderer & SK1, Total Science, Dylan, Raiden

DJ's/Performance I watch: Bailey, SS, Twisted Individual, Zinc, Shy FX, The Enemy (Evol Intent), Cause4Concern, General Malice, Jae Kennedy, LTJ Bukem

I listen to more than *just* this stuff. but this is most of what I always keep an eye out for.
