This is my favorite kind of music to listen to while playing. Especially the more intense faster electronic variety. I usually just set up Pandora on Drum and Bass radio and that does it pretty well for me.
I used to DJ here and there before I realised how pretentious playing other people's music in public and thinking you were skilled was. I did a couple of breakbeat mixes to entice people to the world of amens, they start commercial and work up to other things.
I'd like to share them with other DnB fans here, they are still good for putting on in the car / ipod
I really really love Liquid (as below) and Atmospheric (think LTJ Bukem/Good Looking Records early 90s stuff) DnB. I do listen to the darker stuff too. The Upbeats is pretty awesome. This is my favorite genre of music, so if you hear something you like below, ask me for more recommendations that are similar!!
Anyway, here's my post from that thread There's a bunch of songs in the spoiler in the quote
You are into Liquid DnB (and some Atmospheric DnB too), it's one of my favorite (if not favorite) EDM genres. I just saw Netsky last month, it was amazing. I'm so happy someone else likes DnB on this forum!!! Here's a few youtube channels you should subscribe to:
High Contrast Utah Jazz Memro Netsky Indivision Mutated Forms B-Complex LTJ Bukem Camo & Krooked Fred V Grafix Indivision Joe Syntax London Elektricity Sub Focus Logistics Nu:Tone Pendulum (Their old stuff, not their new metal/electronica hybrid trash) + Anyone on Hospital Records basically
Here's a few songs you have to hear if you like Liquid DnB, tell me what you like and I'll try to recommend you similar artists:
edit: added songs. I may keep adding, I can't help myself. Love to get people listening to this genre
To the guy that posted Aphex Twin. He's not REALLY DnB, although his songs sometimes have some DnB elements. He's more classified as IDM/Glitch/Experimental, although he dabbles in every genre of EDM. Check out Vordhosbn, Heliosphan, and Ageispolis by him. Incredible songs. You should really just download his entire Druqks album and his Selected Ambient Works 85-92 album.
There is nothing like liquid dnb in the summer time, and therefore i decided some weeks ago to make a liquid dnb mix as my second mix that i've done(ever) 34min of liquid funk, perfect for the summer:
Euphorics + Joe Easy Nuttah - Smoke Ghostface Killah & Neyo - Back Like That (Dj Marky & Bungle Remix) M25 - Morning Rain Blue Motion & Grimm - There She Goes Netsky - Moving With You (Feat. Jenna G) Lenzman - Bittersweet Danny Byrd - Tonight (Feat. Netsky) Calibre - Even If Utah Jazz - Skyward Bound Matrix & Future Bound - Coast To Coast (Feat. Louis Smith)
As of right now, my fav tracks are Netsky's remix of Rusko - Everyday and Interface Feat. William Cartwright - Truth Beyond
