Has Drum and Bass changed for you??
As is it here and listen to a Brett Clever mix it takes me back to the breaks that got me into this music in the first place. Much like the tracks like METRO by Digital and YOUR SOUND by MAJIK. I cant seem to get into most tracks i hear these days and seem to be goin down the dubstep road. Does anyone else feel this way or am i just a stick in the mud!!
I guess im into the whole chopped up breaks kinda thing, i guess theres this whole drumfunk thing but you know what i mean!!!!!!!!

I don't know if it's a coined term or anything, but I've been digging the whole dub'n'bass style that's been emerging over the past year or so - dudes like Visionary and some of Calibre's stuff (love all of Calibre's catalogue). And also the melodic techy stuff like Duo Infernale, Chris Su etc.

I think music is quiote cyclic. As good stuff becomes widley known/ distributed or discovered by a general populace there's an underground reaction which takes place. If something blows up in a big becomes over exposed two things happen, imitators flood the market and the innovation that led to the exposure re-invents itself and takes back the essence or returns to the roots of that genre and exists away from the glamour and media saturation. hard to explain, but basically when something is huge in the media, there is another movement in isolation from the chaos keeping it real and starting another phase or growth of that genre which is kind of sewing the seeds for the next era.

how has it changed your life, are we talking subliminal messages here layered into the music telling you to eat vegetarian and not to forget to tell your mum you love her?dust wrote:I love the d'n'b sound at the moment.
Artists like DBridge, Commix, Spirit, Marcus Intalex, Calibre, Breakage, Survival and more have changed my life.

I disagree with this. There is still lots of beautiful, melodic music being made, its just that most people don't play it. And thats sad. But people like Basic Operations, Seba, Calibre, Funky Technicians, Random Movement and heaps more i can't think of off the top of my head, are making beautiful tunes.Charlie73 wrote:i find most of it is all a little too hard nowdays...
need more jazzy vibes out there, there is enough ball tearing tunes already....

So doesn't help a punter much who likes the jazzy feel to swing the hips to, and yet it doesn't happen......
Oh, i see. I guess most DJs feel that they have to play to a certain tempo and style to keep people on the dance floor. And to a degree I think that's true. But there are some nights that cater for your tastes too. Did you go to AI? Like it?Charlie73 wrote:Oh i am not saying it isn't made, but I very rarely hear it out and about hence, not going out that much to DnB anymore....dust wrote:I disagree with this.

Slammers are great when you're out...
for at least the first 2 times...
Not as great when you're sitting in front of your pc.

I know I keep going on about it, but Chris Inperspective's set last year was an education for me. Years ago I'd heard some Photek, Icarus and one or two Source Direct tunes and was damned if I knew what to call the style. For ages I was going on about "spooky mysterious sounds and choppy beats."
Then I was introduced to the music of Fanu, Seba and Paradox etc and it totally reignited my long lost interest in d&b.
To quote Steinski, "This was music I was waiting all my life to hear."

Things have changed to an extent, but what dosn't? I love that nineties sound, but there was still some really awful music then too.
Production standards these days have got bigger, louder, faster.. but if thats not yer bag there are still producers / Dj's from "the good old days" doing their thing...Marcus Intalex, Goldie, Fabio, Flight, Seba & Paradox, Spirit, Dbridge, Survival, Dom & Roland, Fierce etc (the list could go on..) All been around from the beginning and still making /playing music like they have been doing for years.

Totally agree on the mello/beautiful vibes tip. There's an absolute tidal wave of nice stuff around, and the bar is constantly being raised.dust wrote:I disagree with this.

Drum and bass has changed but then again so have i.
I sincerely hope it keeps on changing because the music is boundless and infinite. There is no other music in the world that can be as dynamic as DnB... Some may disagree but think about it. The simple fact that a dj can within their set turn the vibe of a room from a dentists waiting room scenario to a violent onlsaught of torrential beats and back again is unmatched. Other forms of dance music can try but i reckon it would be similiar to trying to knock Tyson.
There will always be a lot of shite but there will always be a lot of gold. Drum and bass if future music and thank god that most producers have let go of the past so as they can Shape The Future...
