Hey guys and gals, i’m looking for artist and track suggestions for some atmosphere Dnb. I really dig Bukem’s style, but i’ll be damned if i know the name or artist of half his tracks. I’ve looked into Mathematics, Empress, and a few Aphex Twins tracks so I’m pretty much open to anything with a break at 160-200 bpm that still remains chill and controlled. Thanks much!
heh my knowledge of atmospheric dnb is shocking. cept the upbeats, they have spacey trippy atmospheric shit on their albums, check “nobodys out there” and theyre self titled album. the song “lobster” is one of the best, theres also “wayhey” , “wayhey contd” , and “hello” on the self titled album.
nobodys out there is mostly a strange atmospheric album with a few bangers, most of those tracks are kickass
If it’s LTJ Bukem and intelligent d&b you want, then Logical Progression was the sh!t. Those albums were classic. Stopped releasing them years ago but still great.
Lots of atmospheric d&b still gets made, it’s not all the industrial bollox.
Check out Blame, London Elektricity, Muffler, Electrosoul System.
Oh and why we are here: my theory of what the best intelligent d&b should feel like:
It should feel like sitting in a train, looking out of a window. If you look downwards you can see the train tracks skittling by in a percussive blur of motion. If you look upwards, you can see trees skimming serenely past, framed against the sky.
And that my friends, is what great d&b should feel like. That is all.
