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

Zomg Vamanos and high technology both ripped the floor up at my gig last weekend - need more of that bizzo

Im really feeling the half time bass line tunes (Im calling it half-step) coming out of late like Bassnectars "basshead", Vamanosby Davip, and the Subfocus remix of ruskos "hold on"

Can you guys recommend anything in this vein ?

Better to have tubgirl, than goatse, meatspin or 2 girls 1 cup.
The best would still be "2 angry camels in a tiny car" though. ;)




BTW: Any thoughts on J-Tek?
Completely loving it, and having me pick up D&B production again.

Your not the only one calling it that from what i have seen.

Ill try to put together a list of tracks that i have that do the half time thing :)

Gotta love dnb's ability to absorb any other genre out there and make it 10x as awesome :p

There was a whole EP that Limewax released awhile back that was straight up halfstep (and yes, it's been called halfstep for quite awhile now), I think Current Value did quite a bit of halfstep as well.

There was a whole big phase where tons of producers were doing it. We've even got a halfstep tune out by Bishop awhile back :)

I been looking for more tracks that drop into electro house half way though, i know danny byrd has one out (cant remember off the top of my head what the track is called though) - anyone know any more ?

Would love to hear more about that Bento, that's exactly the kind of stuff I'm really listening to at the moment and finding great transition tracks.

There is other ways, for instance if you put in a 3 bar loop on the start of a dnb pad (with nothing else going on in the background, otherwise this wont work) then layer than with an electro track pitched to exactly 2/3 the tempo of the original track - you can make a transition out of tracks thats dont drop in bpm.

Xilent / Imprintz / Kloe - Maximum. Although I dont' think it's really electro house, but defo close.

Got one incoming by DaVIP on our Russian Roulette EP that goes into a slower "breaks / house" breakdown (half way through). Can actually checkout a clip of that on our player as well, just upped it the other day.

Camo and Krooked do some good electro dnb that would mash up well. I do minimal techno mixes that faze into dnb. If u like minimal dnb the Sunchase album is amazing
