Yeah, mornin and all that. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I grew up on hardcore ('92 - '95), then lost interest (learnt guitar/singing training/classical piano). So I'm now 31 and a teacher. I got a real itch to play some heavy records, so I'm starting a collection. So far I've been mainly collecting nu-jazz/downtempo like Bonobo, Four tet, Jaga Jazzist and Skalpel. I've also started a DnB collection. Thing is, I've lost touch with things, and am struggling to find the kind of records I like. So really, this is a plea for help. To date, I got... Soundwall VIP (Dom & Roland) Aztec (Spor) I'm also finding Deckers Theme (Dom & Roland) and Arrakis (Black Sun Empire). One the one hand, I'm after heavy, dark tunes, but if I can find real uplifting stuff as good as Aztec, thats all good. Aside from dl rakes of tunes, most of which are cack, I don't know what to do. Any advice? Heavy and dark, or non-cheesy, quality jump-up. Any help massively appreciated Nice one. (And apologies if this is on the wrong board)
its hard to answer people who make threads "what songs will i like" coz you are the one that has to pick your own music but i suggest checking out noisia, break, calyx, prolix... thats for the dark stuff. have you checked out spors usual work? he makes some beastly tracks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC7sAoSG-GI its a mixcut
Check this>>> http://dnbforum.com/showthread.php?t=89450 there's a wide variety of genres in there and should give you an insight as to what style you are in to.
Nice one. Downloaded a load of Calyx. Downloaded Spor's doscography and went through it and only really loved Aztec. Have just finished downloading some Noisia this morning, so I'll give that listen. I'll give Break and Prolix a good listen. Nice one.
maybe you'll dig dieselboy or counterstrike too then. Yeah, check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr7G0OxZ4WY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeCbItxaPMI
This comment is gay. If I had a proper DnB shop near my home I'd be in it getting them to play me tune after tune so I could decide which one's to buy. And buy I would (and am doing). So the fundamental difference between this and dl tunes to see which one's to purchase is.....?
use youtube, or D&BA 1 minute previews, or Beatports 2 minute previews etc. etc. I dont believe the whole "I torrent songs to see if they're good, then buy them if they are". I listen to them on youtube, in mixes etc. then go "damn thats a tune" and then buy it. but you are buying them, so its all gooood
woah you only liked aztec from spors entire discog? i think he's a production genius... didnt like stop it? resolute? valentine? some other funk? not a fan of heavy dnb i guess
as far as the non cheesy jumpup anything from g13 records class a recordingz nam music musik hertz low down deep calypso/ co lab grid / zombie system shock ganja / playaz / frontline 3d mode check those labels out man
I have a DIGI 008 with Pro Tools for making alt-rock songs, and for some reason it interferes with the streaming of sound on the net, so I can't listen to clips, or watch stuff on youtube.
you've got to check the nu skool leaders spectrasoul alix perez asc instra:mental dbridge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVFXaEbS5fY also try out podcasts the autonomic podcast or even the shogun podcast they usually tell you all about new releases or have tracklistings
Some of that ASC stuff is HEAVY. Resolution, Windchime, Delta Shift, love those choppy amen beats. It's like Bukem with massive balls. Hell yes. Nice one.
