Hi to all. New to the forum and looking for a bit of guidance. After a couple of years of Techno, I would love to find someof the old dnb tunes I used to listen to back in the day (my day that is :)).

I used to go to AWOL nights and the likes back in '98-'99 and I'm looking for the paticular 'sound' i loved from that time. Having looked into a bit myself, I'm thinking it's leaning towards the techstep side, maybe touching on neurofunk (which I understand was the natural progression of things?)...but having listened to a few true neurofuck tunes on youtube...full on neurofunk is a bit harsh compared to what I remember.

I've got all of these tunes in my head...just hard to obviously find them as they lack any lyrics - which is usually just the way I like it, apart from the odd sci-fi quote or some obscure line like that :)

I just listened to Ed Rush and Optical's 'Travel the Galaxy', which is very much like what I am blabbing on about, but if anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be of great help!

Cheers
 
Ed Rush & Optical/Fierce - Cutslo/Alien Girl

Mate, one of the tunes I had in my head was this one.

There's another one that sounds similar that has some obscure line where says something like "shipwrecked"..

..any ideas?

Thank you for Alien Girl :)

i think u might mean - dillinja - hard noise... think its ment to say .. switch the shit around ... in a lil twisted voice type thing
 
Found the five tunes I had in my head, cheers for your helps guys.

They were:

Dillinja - Hard Noize
Ed Rush & Optical - Alien Girl
Bad Company - The Nine
Mampi Swift - The One
Andy C - Warhead Trilogy rmx

Why do some refer to Hard Noize as Fluid..is it something to do with DJ Fluid? Made it 'his' tune? :/ Oh and is all the above Techstep or what?

Again, cheers guys.
