Personally, I am really into the likes of pendulum, simon bassline smith, Dillinja and Lemon D, Adam F, Fresh, Friction, Baron, Die, Andy C...just about all the jumpy stuff..cant stand Hype tho, bloody chav!
Anyone into Mixing? If so, do u play ne where, what equipment u got etc.? I mix on a fairly basic set up...citronic direct drive decks and mixer...can't afford technics...I am gonna play a gig in a month or so tho in my University Halls...looking forward to it.
Finally, do u go to ne drum n bass clubs? Im in London so I am always at Fabric, the End, Herbal etc.

Much prefer jungle from 95 till 98. Lost it's magic in my opinion.
Check out this mix, it's awsome. It's this type of Atmos DnB & MCing I'm really into. Right click, save as.
Nookie & MC System - Atmosphere Prologue Mix
I've got some nice mixes on my site, it's not finished yet but there is a fe won there.

Gina, you will like these.
I agree, but I still make an attempt to go to dnb events, just because I like the buzz.
In answer to the question, I'm into stuff like Adam F, Andy C, Layo &n Bushwaka, and I like the whole hip-hop dnb fusion stuff like Scratch Perverts. Also like the commercial dancey stuff like 2manydjs and roni size.
Is anyone going to creamfields?
Am seeing Dj Hype ina few weeks apparently that'll make me like it more lol
As far as Bristol is concerned, I kinda like trip-hop. :thumb:
I love Trip-Hop. I've got a little mix I've done of unsigned artists, I'll give you a link to it when I upload it.

Sedo - Sound Styles Mix
Anyway FilthyChav my suggestion might be to get one of the CDs in the Fabric Live compilation series, or one of Hospital Records' "Plastic Surgery" compilations.
Anything on Good Looking Records. GLO is a class label. Also have a look for some stuff on Covert Operations, Camino Blue.
Have a look at this thread, and look up some of the guy's I mentioned.

Some Congo Natty and some old skool Mickey Finn etc.
The standard of D&B over the last couple of years has really dropped.
Hey felix, this is pretty good, thanks for the link
I've always prefered more ambient D&B to be honest...
I enjoyed the red mix you posted a while ago too, is the blue mix out yet?
Yep, its all about Congo Natty :thumb:
What a clever chap you are.
sorry i meant raves not the music, i still love a bit of jungle, i however do not love sweat little grimepits full of twats with attitude though
Each to their own.
Personally, being there in the middle of it all enhances the music (well, considering it's not a shite sound system). I'll always remember when Zinc I think dropped Roni Size - Brown Paper Bag at Energy '04, which is a good tune anyway but when it came on fuck me, I was blown away. Same with that Butterfly VIP tune, one of my favourite tunes at the minute and I can listen to it all day long at home and appreciate it's a wicked tune, but when I hear it out and about...
And I agree with the general consensus, the vast majority of modern drum and bass (bar a couple of artists, namely Pendulum) is bollocks, much much prefer older jungley style stuff - Adam F, Mickey Finn, Aphrodite, Alex Reece, R-Type, Krome & Time etc.
Six million ways to die, dontcha know.
High Contrast, Calibre and the Future Engineers produce some really nice stuff. Teebee is also a great artist.
I do a bit of mixing and have the following kit:-
2x Numark TTX1 direct drives (better than technics in my opinion)
Allen and Heath Xone 32 mixer (the bol**cks! Undoubtedly the best piece of equipment I have ever owned)
I've also spent alot of money on the cabling - people often don't realise how much of a difference a high quality lead can make.
If you fancy listening to some Drum and Bass online, then www.bassdrive.com is a good place to go.
Its only my 2nd time but am tryin to convince my mates to take me with them to a rave next time they go, they being a bit over protective of me tho!! R they that bad then??
