D & B?

ravelinks.com, audio section rocks :thumbsup

http://www.breakbeat.co.uk/listen/listen-live-2003.html <-- off the hook d-n-b tons of streams and video and shit. probably the #1 dnb site in the world

http://www.thegoodlookingorganisation.co.uk/ LTJ's Record Label, Bunch of Audio Stuff :thumbsup

ltj bukem progression sessions all volumes is the shit. mc conrad is also the shit.

DNB4L

don't forget DRS :thumbsup. i had the luxury of seeing levels 2-3 live when he toured the states all i can say is WOW

check out mixmag volume 3 by bukem as well. it's unreal

Dj Shadow is pretty good, might be more jungle though, haven't followed the scene in years

http://www.djshadow.com

Shy FX is my current fave. Yeah, they aren't as hardcore on their albums as they are live but they are one of the few groups taking D&B to the next level.

Kosheen's Hide you and Suicide are also pretty crazy.

Aphrodite's current stuff and of course old Goldie from the Timeless album is hot. Roni Size did some really cool and jazzy stuff that won tons of awards then he fell the fuck off. He even had a couple of good songs with folks like Method Man and others.

TDF you gotta see the way a crowd goes crazy. It's a whole different kinda energy.

Check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/ for their charts and the latest and hottest D&B as well as other stuff they are feelin across the pond.

someone suggest some specific songs, i'm gonna get my download on, i need some new shit.

Sven Vath is the lord and master of techno, bow before him.
I've seen dozens of big names spinning the discs and NOBODY comes within the half way mark towards sven's talents, when this guy is on form he will tear your fucking brain out :thumbsup

In the early 80's the "orbit" http://www.orbit48.com/ was considered to be the best techno club in Europe (by FAR) and most of the big names would fly over and play for free because they all loved the place (without its reputation it could never have afforded the people who played there)

Ahhhhh how I miss those original sounds :)

dub plate pressure - sniper remix - one of the best tracks ever produced
six million ways - dope skillz
beep me 911 - ganja cru remix
so damn tuff - prisoners of technology
rinsing quince - aphrodite

do a search for progression sessions, they're likely to be large files, full mix CD's, theyre WELL worth the download.

sven is a true god. :thumbsup. one of my friends videotaped a party where he rocked 6 deks back in the early 90's

insanity

If you wanna download then go here http://search.ftphost.net/indexer/search.aspx

Nothing to touch it for MP3z :Graucho

Seen him about 4 times and the crowd just go fucking nuts when he plays, if you ever get the chance to see him it will be well worth it
:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

no doubt. I havent been to a party in almost 5 years aside from bukem and hype when he hit new orleans a few years back. but i'd definitely get off my lazy arse to see sven

holy shit this is a dope station...when I see ya again,i'd kiss ya :) :) :)

Umm... yeah no problem... I think?

hey,consider it payment for fucking my sister :)

Oh, I forgot! Check out The Blade II soundtrack. There's some really hot collabos with Ice Cube, Cypress Hill, and Volume 10 (remember Pistol Grip Pump). Volume 10's song is hot. It's called Raised In Da Hood.

1Xtra is unbeatable, the Heartless Crew sessions are epic - a little bit of D&B, a little bit of Bashment, a little Garage - and sometimes just completely random shit.

DJ Dara
Dieselboy

Stocka and Skynet is good also..............:thumbsup

it kinda sucks that people group Jungle in with DnB because DnB came from Jungle...which came from DanceHall Reggae

DnB is ok....but true jungle is where it's at...beat juggling and phat mixing rather than house-style set-it-and-forget-it beatmatching....

Still got plenty o love for DnB tho..
