True Pioneers of DNB

[safety]

who? me?

 

[theone]

There are other threads going around usually involving how Pendulum have affected the dnb scene. Some people think they are pioneers. I thought it would be interesting to see everyones thoughts on who the true pioneers are in dnb.

It can be people or labels. Some of the labels will cover a few dj's who might also be listed.

Mine are:

Fabio
Grooverider
Moving Shadow
Goldie/Metalheadz
Randall (I do realise randall is under the metalheadz label as well but I thought he should be included for his sets in the AWOL days)
Andy C
Roni Size
Zinc
Hype
Stevie Hyper D (RIP)

Took the words right out my mouth Dustek!

Most of the folks round here would think that "Voodoo Ray" is some geezer who works down at their local headshop...

YEP i second that!!

Bad Company

Loxy

Ink

Black Sun Empire <--- in fact i think these guys have been the biggest pioneers over the last few years. Not just them but their label aswell. (Telemetrik for instance)

Technical Itch

John B <---- Everyone forgets about this guy! PROPER WKD PRODUCER!!

Twisted Individual <-- In my opinion he pretty much pioneered the new wave of Jump-Up

 

[safety]

just for the record it was the one that started this thread, some how i just came along at the right time and stole all the glory

joker

 

[sammys]

pendulum, purely for how they destroy dnb forums across the globe

 

[freedom's door]

I think Photek should be included, as well as the Jungle Sky crew- 1.8.7., Yellow Note, and of course Soul Slinger.

 

[Mr G]

Did anyone mention Omni Trio & Foul Play?

Suburban Base was also a pioneering label like MS imho.

 

[safety]

calibre maybe. for his first album

 

[Nutek]

Where would we be without "The Winstons"?
