Does anyone know where in australia to get DNB cd's, not records. JB-HIFI is pretty much the biggest cd retailer but they have pretty much jack shit in DNB.

Depends what kind of stuff you want mate, DJ Crystal sets from weekdns rush were pretty good, AWOL sets in general are pretty shit hot, some of the sets recorded from some of the orginal pirate stations that were knocking around at the time are generally good, bit of a pick and choose list really, some are brilliant, others are poor quality, but some genuine belters in there

Yeah mate, there's so many sets on there, think i downloaded the Dj Crystal on weekend rush fm and remarc on either weekend rush/kool fm, can't rememeber which, as i said they all quality sets just vary in audio, and if you look really hard there's plenty more stuff out there, just gotta look for it, 1 to download is Dj Randall's set on Centreforce FM last year, Centreforce were 1 of the original radio stations back in the late 80's, and they came back on the airwaves last year, so Randall went back to his roots and done a classic house set, only problem is the sites i found to download it from all seem to have bandwidth issues, so it don't download properly, if i find a copy i'll upload it myself

By the way if you want to pay out for it, plenty of sites offer CD packs of recordings from way back in the day, again you just gotta search for them

Happy hunting

You wouldnt happen to know where i can download Terminator - Goldie? I cant seem to find it anywhere.
 
DnB - Love it - love it very loud - obviously :)

I like a mixed bag of stuff but Noisia is a definite :) Am geting a fewmore ideas from what you guys are posting - cheers
 
Yes Portillo you can find it on youtube, just rip it from there buddy, using mozilla firefoxes youplayer add-on, then use aoa audio splitter (all free dowloads) to split the audio, and hey presto you have your tune, happy ripping
 
With neighbors through the walls and floors, and a rather bassophobic significant other, I've taken to listening to drum & bass sets at a soft volume on my stereo. I find it has a very different feel to it at the volume of, say, the music at a clothing store, than loudly in a car or at an event. Its cousinship with hip-hop stands out more to me. It also has a strange effect on my mood that I can't quite put my finger on, that doesn't stand out to me when I hear loud reverberating DNB.

Anyone else like their DNB quiet and in the background?
 
If it's DNB that has a smooth sound, maybe a little more jazzy and acute I definitely agree that at a lower decibel some basslines are actually more pronounced and bring out some usually unknown depth to the song.

If it's jump up or crazy techstep I want it loud and able to be felt as much as it is heard.

I prefer it loud though =D <3 but I love my dnb howeverz. Except that clowny, jump up, clownish wobble nonsense bs, I like that the stuff silent or just off.

Do a google search if you're confused mate, but trust me its as easy as.....i don't know, but take my word for it, its easy.......


And if it hard dirty techstep then its gotta LOUD, liquid is more than acceptable as less volumes

And if it's Jungle, or older then as loud as feesibly possible in my book, bring back those warehouse vibes

Some Dubstep through my expensive headphones does me in this respect.

I enjoy LTG Bukem at lower volumes.

wtf dude! break up immediately! ;)

and sure, certain styles of dnb can be enjoyable at lower volumes. i prefer most of my tunes loud if i can help it, but plenty of dnb makes for chill background music when smoking out or whatever. if it's too low though, i might rather pass if i don't have headphones. few things are less satisfying than some monster track tiptoeing out of the speakers all thin and wimpy, especially as a result of crybaby neighbors :!
 
^ Don't worry, I'm used to finding ways to enjoy bass-heavy music growing up with a brother who also hated it. He has a subwoofer he never uses. He described my loud playing of funk records as a steady minor earthquake from another room.

For some reason synthetic bass notes tend to bother bass haters a lot more than a recording that was once from a natural instrument.

I recently learned that we have special sensory nerve endings, especially in some of our bigger joints but also in parts of our skin, that sense vibration. So all of us lovers of funk, dub, R&B, hip-hop, dnb, dubstep, garage, house, and any other bassy genres of music must be those of us who find it pleasurable to have those types of receptors tickled.

My wife, an avid ska fan, once put it this way after I took her to a jungle night at a little basement club: "Enjoying that music is like serving yourself a big steaming bowl of freshly boiled coffee grounds, and throwing out the coffee. Reggae stripped of all the things I like about it, and with all the things I don't like about it greatly magnified."

But we have similar tastes in movies so she still rocks :)
 
drum and bass, one of the best genres of music to come out of electronic music
thats including old grime tracks and jungle
mmm jungle

im kind of a girly girl
so feelings- shy fx
all time favorite
 
I blame this post on my alcoholic state as I am SMASHED but i love dnb.

It picked me up and slappe me around today.

I played some tracks a bluelighter (yeah you Justin!) passed on to me years ago (Perth, memories etc) today because I always do when in a bad frame of mind, to get out of it and get on with it..

Im going to a scary place tomorrow, its all thats keeping me together right now.
