The Drum & Bass Thread (formally Drum 'n' Bass is dead?)

[Kemotherapy]

wonder what Andy C thinks about the whole dnb is dead thing.

Don't Blaspheme now!

Ha! I really dont think jump-up is what it used to be. Its fair to say I dont follow it closely, but what I do hear isnt fun or original. Got any new decent jump-up?

Love that one

Nuage is getting some lovely liquid out these days. I prefer the flip, but that is beautiful music.

dnb aint dead for Andy C, he still makes a killing off it. Especially with his new Andy C:Live show. Apparently He's got Traktor hooked into a midi mixer and the midi note feedback controls the lighting/visualisation business on the wall behind him. Nice setup!
Last time I saw him though he was running traktor on DVS and some small midi controller, no vinyl in sight! But he was also doing one of his AndyC:Live sets down at nottingham on the same night.

Holy shit! This is just... wow.

Looks like this is the dnb thread then

what's everyones feelings on logistics new tunes. I'm loving it. Its very similar to his early stuff. I think he is the only hospital artist who hasn't changed into this new jumpup culture like nutone did with his latest album words and pictures, logistics tune fiberglass I heard on the hospital podcast really reminded me of one of his first albums reality checkpoint.

Let's converse

Not really much into liquid but The Trip, City Life and Together are probably my favourite Logistics tunes, if he's back to making stuff like that I'll have to look into the new stuff. Hospital seems to have degraded in quality in the last year or two... Though there was that release last year, HOS181 I believe, that was quite good.

P.S. New Tech Itch stuff kicks ass. Kymera / Take You is great. I can't wait for his remix of KJ Sawka's New Life to get released... though given that it's supposed to be forthcoming on Bad Chemistry Recs it could be a long time before it's released.

I dont think they have degraded in quality, they have gone with whats popular at the moment and what the pop crowd want and thats jump up/ dupstep. i dont blame them as their hospitality nights are massive now and they are probably making the most money out of any dnb label. their promo is amazing to be fair.

i started off loving hospital like many and then found other labels like ingrediants, ram, shogun. dont get me wrong i still buy a few hospital tracks and their bundles are pretty good but i prefer other labels now.

check out the new hospital 2012 comp coming out end of the month it looks really good and looking forward to the new medschool comp

Copy, paste, +1!

I do think their music is more throwaway than it ever has been, but that is directly due to the pop culture they are submersing themselves in.

We all know that the top40 is generally a reflection of the cheapest, cheesiest tunes available in that songs genre. Hospital are no different.

High Contrasts new tunes are a shadow of his former self, same goes for camo and krooked and netsky. Before netsky and camo & krooked were signed to hospital, they made some fucking sweet tunes. Like, exceptional dancefloor, this! http://www.junodownload.com/products...nd/1509365-02/

Hospital dont make dancefloor like this, they hoover up all the talent and take all the life out of it.

Med school on the other hand, is a different kettle of fish entirely.

I do agree with you about the hospitality nights though, theyre epic, and filled with cu*ts. Its all about the small side room pumping out the underground sounds . The crowd is completely different, people actually go there for the music, not the fashion show! Who'd have thought!?

I've been out of the drum and bass scene for a long time. Last time I was buying vinyl from Breakbeat Science plus some random music from Beatport.

Got some great recommendations in another thread, really like Hospital Records. But it's getting pretty hard to find any jump up stuff. Seems ironic since hip-hop and drum and bass fit so well together.
