I was just thinkin that when i'm listening to a dnb track for the first time i'm sub conciously looking for a certain set of elements and structure to appeal to me.

However when i'm not concentrating hard on the music a really good liquid tune can just come up on me and make me really get into the vibe,like make me feel like i did back in 1997, when i was just getting into the general vibe and not the pigenhole state of affairs like there is today.


I would say without thinking bout it that its the hard techy dark-jump up kinda dnb i really really love but fuck man this music is so vast that i can get into liquid style tunes at the drop of a hat if not paying attention.

It just goes to show me how much material i put aside and ignore when shoppong for the latest tune, horrible thought really,, nothing hits the spot more for me than a grimey twisted individual tune or some g-dub or even neurofunk tunes for that matter but a whole DJ set of them i wouldnt like.

Some recent examples have had me tappin my toes even when sitting in the dentist room waiting for root canal surgery, i mean shit man - thats gotta be a good thing::

Potential Bad Boy - Girlz
Fresh - All That Jazz
Shy FX Feat. TopCat - Everyday
Roni Size Feat Beverly Knight - No More

P.S (Roni Size Feat Beverly Knight - No More)- this is a fuckin excellent tunes and is very good in the mix too, if anyone wants it get hold of me on msn an i'll be more than happy to share, - that goes for most of my tunes..

anyone else feel more open-minded on diff styles of drumnbass as opposed to other kinds of music

God bless this scene

P.P.S - the server was dowen again lastnight, i nearly slit my wrists...... Cry

I really like most drum n bass. for me its dark drum n bass
but it has to have a groove. i like roni size/no more,
it is a well put together track and catchy.
if i like it then ill buy it. ive got jungle/liquid/tech step/jazz step
etc love it all. a while back iheard a tune on amate compolation
cd called barcelona, icouldnt find any where. then i heard it on the
radio but it was [commercialized] i think. not the same and ruined it.
the beat sounded like they had toned down the kick and drums.
why, it wasnt aggresive in the first place. Knownothing

we keep going Drink Doped

I can appreciate quite a veriaty of DnB genres acually, but when I go out I prefer them as hard as they come. I can really enjoy some atmospheric DnB or breakage tunes for listening, but not for shaking. They just don't do it for me. Maybe I should smoke some joints when I go out, then I wouldn't be so narrow minded maybe, but I prefer to stay sober and let the music get hold of me!

nah smokin spliffs is the worst thing i can think of doin when i go out to shake ma ass.

used to be into the drugs bigtime and have had my issues with them .

These days i would agree with surya let the music do the talking drugs jus get in the way, like they can make a tune in a rave sound amazing, but when you hear it sober a week later you can be like wot the fuck, this is shit
(and the reverse)

when i first listend to dnb , it had a giant impact on me ... that was stuff i never heard before , my first dnb party was a techstep party by dj .com
from then on i searched and searched for all the dnb there was.
Then i only wanted harder n harder Tongue
then i heard it all...

now i dont care if it is hard or not (maybe a little Tongue ) , just if the tracks got someting others dont have and i like it , im in.
I hate standard reece + pad + amen.

liquid tunes dont deserve the dnb-step imo , let there be an elektro/house/techno drum on it.

producers should be original each time they make a track.
no sample should be re-used (exept for some )

Altough I like it really hard (I Resonant Evil (and Limewax)), I recently felt like "wow" when I heard Desperado from AI.
That tune is just...how u call it..beautiful?

Also my dnb vinyl collection goes anywhere, techstep, neuro, liquid, dark stuff... I've even got clownstep stuff in there Shocked
