Sorry if this annoys the hell out of the more knowledgeable of you, I hesitate long and searched quite a bit before posting, but here's the deal:

I love Drum and Bass, I fucking love it. I have friends that know a lot about it and play me cool shit that I get into, but I really know very little about the scene. Now that I am in a different country than my friends, I find that I haven't found any of the kind of DnB I like in a long time.

Roni Size and all that stuff has it's place I suppose, but it doesn't do it for me. I like the kind of things Ed Rush and Optical were doing in the late nineties, really dark and scary IN YOUR FACE kind of DnB/techstep thing.

Now, here's what I'm hoping you can help me with: what's happening with that scene now? I've tried getting Optical and Ed Rush stuff from Kazaa but I find it's not up the standard I was used to back in the day, and I haven't really found much else with a similar sound.

I'd really appreciate it if you could give me the names of some good artists and DJs playing the kind of dark and aggressive sets I'm talking about. The kind of thing that says: "I WANT TO BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH AN ELECTRIC RIOT PROD WHILE I SNORT METH!!!" ;)

Anyway, thanks in advance, and my apologies for asking such a basic question here!

I'm personally into Panacea for seriously dark and twisted. Sort of industrial meets dnb.

Beefcake is pretty eerie, too.

Thanks a bunch guys!

I found a few tracks already, and it's much good stuff, but most of what has been mentioned is seemingly hard to get on mp3. I'll go to some DJ-esque record stores and look around :)

Thanks again,

--- G.
 
nobody has mentioned (and i'm not impressed):

future prophecies
kemal
dom & roland
loxy
ink
ancronix
spirit
facs
mindmachine
kid entropy (find a track called the blank wave...evil)

and if you're having trouble finding any of this on mp3, you're obviously not looking on soulseek www.slsk.org
 
^^^you said it!

good tunes eh?

the first song is

where's the score - dj hidden + slacknote (evolintent remix)

f*&$#@^ EVIL EVIL song oh my gosh that is what you call bodygasm
 
Hmmm...when you say..."I WANT TO BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH AN ELECTRIC RIOT PROD WHILE I SNORT METH!!!" (Which, incidentilly, is one of the greatest quotes I've ever read on BL) I immediately think of ATR (Atari Teenage Riot) or many of the others on the DHR label. Not totally D&B, but definetly, "..."I WANT TO BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH AN ELECTRIC RIOT PROD WHILE I SNORT METH!!!" (yeah, had to use it twice.) It's got the rhythms and the bass and everything, yet it's not quite d&b,

Maybe try:
Alec Empire
Hanin Elias (not sure on spelling)
There are also some very good Wumpscut remixes floating about out there.
Carl Crack

Also, you can find lots of ATR on WinMx, or maybe Kazaa (don't have it so don't quote me.) I think it would be definetly worth checking out.

Maybe not helpful at all, just my two cents, and stuff I know you can find on file sharing.

M

P.S. For other random angry hardcore Delta Nine is everywhere on file sharing networks, also try DJ Paul.
 
Holy mother of Satan, those are some kickass links folks, thanks!!

I can't believe I forgot about Alec Empire btw, I have the old stuff like Destroyer, but I definitely have to look up what he's doing these days.

I also discovered that Kazaa is a piece of shit when it comes to finding good music... the only reason I'm not uninstalling it is... well.... it's personal..... (ok so it's the midget porn).

Anyway, thanks a million, bluelight comes through again! :)
