The Drum & Bass Thread (formally Drum 'n' Bass is dead?)

[midifidler]

lol d&b dead, no way!

It has just started to reach the point of maturity, with the litzness that is Pendulum cracking the pop-market thus promting scenesters who are more interested in the exclusivity of of a certain genre than the relative quality of music to go elsewhere.

Sure lots of producers are moving to dubstep, but only hedz could actually elaborate on the musical differences.

And the two make the ultimate combo, cant wait for new years, Skream, Noisia, Andy C, Dieselboy, Breakfastaz....rain forests

Your comment about Pendulum is pretty true, Pendulum has brought drum and bass to even more ears creating an even bigger listener bass. I prefer Calyx and Teebee's idea though - raw uncut dnb strait to the commercial public. Pendulum has made a good stepping stone for some people, whether thats a good thing or a bad thing ill leave up to you guys

I know i for one am sick of mentioning dnb and every time someone has to mention pendulum :\ Not hating on you midifidler your mention was completely justified. This is just the the price that has to be payed to take drum and bass to the masses.

So yeah, i agree drum and bass isnt dead, its just getting warmed up
