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

[B.C.Ninja]

PHAT 10: BSE slammed it and Spor absolutely slammed it, Pendulum sucked right down to their matching jackets, one of my chick friends went home with maldini from Bad Company, TuTu from Cuba is a douche, Louie from the roast crew pulled a chick from the front of the stage whilst he was back stage, just pretty much did the point manouveur, Hype showed that yes he is human and even pro DJ's make mistakes by trainsmashing two tunes quite epically, wicked set by him none the less, and for the people flying over the campsite in microlites when I was trying to sleep after a very hard rinse, fuck you microlites are gay!!!! All in all phat was grand although I'm still paying for it, Ohhh and at one stage I lost the feeling in my hands for three or so hours, quite funny really, couldn't roll ciggies, or hold onto drinks, I can't quite remember what part of the nite I thought it was a good idea to consume all of my stash but hey it was my 10yr celebration of falling in love with the DnB sound, thanks Konflict for showing me the light back at Gathering 2000

Oh and there's nothing funnier than the look on a security guards face when your holding up our pass to get backstage not realising that on your twisted rinse through the dancefloor your pass broke off your lanyard and theres nothing their. Hahahahaaha

Nice!

My worst ever moment was when I went up to Goldie off my nut and basically told him I loved him. To which he looked me up and down and told me to fuck off. Lol

[Jester]

Wow. I can't believe it's almost been a year and a half since this thread started. Good thing I've been following it intensely since it started, so I'll summarize and safely conclude that Drum and Bass is in fact dead. The proof is in the pudding. DnB is now popular in some parts of Australia and New Zealand. Just ask Bento or Midi Fiddler to confirm this. And as we all know things become popular in Australia and New Zealand long after they've lost relevance and respect in other countries. So, dnb, it was nice to meet you. Better luck coming back as Dub Step.

Break - Symmetry

also Broken note, when they're not doing grimey heavy dub stuff has some really solid DnB
and who can forget Mistabishi,

side note, if you haven't already seen this, it is at least interesting to watch:

hahahahahaha one of my mates told the guys from the upbeats that he loved one of their tunes so much that he wanked over it before he goes to bed each nite.

Dunno about that B33, next time you're back home, gotta take u into LA where DnB is still alive and thriving. Machete's Junglist Platoon puts on Respect every Thursday which is the longest running American DnB weekly (10 years going strong), Timeless is another massive monthly event in the valley, DnB stages at all the Insomniac, Go, and Giant massives have such a huge turn out every time. And Los Angeles is now home to the likes of Gridlok, Evol Intent, Urban Assault, Atlantic Connection, Tech Itch, and a whole slew of up and comers. Not to mention the San Diego crew which has been doing it big for years now. Drum n Bass is far from dead in southern california so in turn, you can't really say the proof is in the pudding. Also, with real dnb innovators like Netsky, Subwave, Commix, Shapeshifter, and on the other side of the spectrum, Nasty Genius, Aeph, Subsonik, and of course Spor, the sound has continued to evolve into the myriad of emotional soundscapes we have today. Granted, it may not be as popular as House, but there is no reason to call for a funeral dirge when the scene still commands as much attention as it does in the entertainment capitol of the world.

Lol!!!

I cringed at myself for about a month after. I seem to do it at every rave I go to, it's now become anoying. Last week I went up to Dbridge after 10 pints and told him wonder where was the best single of 2009...luckly amongst the slurs coming out of my mouth it came accross less like I wanted to suck him off.

PS

DNB is not dead if anything it has just started again, after a few years of terrible jump up it now has found its soul again. 2009 was in my opinion the best year for dnb therefore proving it still is growin, evolving and has more to give. Bring on 2010!
