Drum & Bass

I've had a passing interest in DnB over the years, but I want to notch it up a level. I gather there's plenty of different styles. I'm interested in the deep, jazzy stuff, although I like some of the harder electronic stuff when it has that 'mature' sound.

Could someone point me in the direction of a few artists and labels?

Cheers.

You looking at the newer stuff or the oldskool original DnB? if DnB is all new to you a good bet would be to have a listen to http://www.discogs.com/Various-Drum-...elease/2422347 it spans dnb over the last 20 yrs.

Other than that, for oldskool dnb check anything on Metalheadz,Ramm & Moving Shadows labels

I guess I'm looking for the newer stuff, but I'm not limited to it. The bit I've been listening to so far has been old skool stuff, Metalheadz, etc. I came across this Marcus Intalex dude, I like his style as well.

I'll start checking out the artists and associated labels in that link.

Thanks!

i'd be more into newer stuff G, i love the d'n'b from the mid to late 90's that would be more atmospheric and jungle-y, but not too good with names from that era, executivesteve would be the main man in that field, top bloke.

anyway, i'll just post a few of tracks for ya that i'd be mainly listening to now.

this is my fav track atm, released a few months ago, and would be considered a techstep tune i suppose.



this be neurofunk, altho fairly uplifting for that genre, killer tune tho.



this is liquid, and a great track imo, remixed by netsky. should check out his stuff, very good producer. also anything by memro is a winner too, just grab anything on hospital records really if liquid tickles your fancy, and liquicity too.

Yeah, but back in 92-93 to the 'brethrens' on the pirate stations in the UK it was all 'jungle' then 'dnb', we weren't going round talking about "that darkcore tune is savage" n stuff, it was just jungle n dnb .......or atleast thats what it was to me.

Only one genre for me though.........."Tunage"

actually they were man lol, tango & ratty were two of the pioneers of darkcore ya are right tho about the jungle thing, darkcore is a sub genre of jungle, but sounds alot more like dark hardcore tbh.
