Now that NG hasn’t had a decent active DnB club for more than 2 years, I thought it was time for a fresh start. Please don't post here if you don't have anything constructive to add!

Feel free to discuss your favorite artists, tracks, albums, past/upcoming live events and news etc.

The rules are basic, just follow the standard NG rules - and try to make some conversation!

For those of you who are too lazy to download songs right away, here are some radio stations:

Bassdrive
dnbradio
UKBassRadio

And what I listen to:

www.drumandbass.ru

Just click on the 128 and download the file.

Apart from that anyone who is into DnB should check out the following songs.

Pendulum - Blood Sugar
Pendulum - Slam (official video clip)
Pendulum - Another planet (Not the full song, and unrelated vid.)

Also get your hands on the album 'Hold your Colour'.

The songs above are what I call hard DnB. You also have the more calm side of DnB that has a suiting effect.

I'll be sure to check out some other DnB songs, can you name me some good DnB artists?

Well...

I downloaded a file from www.isohunt.com called DnB. It's 4.7GB, contains about 800 songs or so and has a lot of great ones.

I like Pendulum mostly, because I find his style to be unique. Apart from that...John B, Afrodite, Ed Rush (& Optical), London Elektricity, Sky (Kiss my eyes VIP version is a great song) and many others.

Anyone heard of venetian snares? I am pretty sure it falls into the DnB genre, I like some of his music.

Pendulum of course is good ~ Tarantula, Slam, Fasten your seatbelts

Paragon is good, but Im sure you can find a better favourite with more well known groups/artist.

Nah thats by Basement Jaxx, Aphex Twin is a guy who makes mainly ambient/techno/d&b.... Read his wiki it's really interesting.

I would say that Aphex has some really trippy videos. It's scary shit.

It's really trippy shit. But the music is amazing.

If that's not who i'm thinking of, who am I thinking of?

Beastie Boys - Intergalactic.

No, No, it's not that.

It's something something "brothers".
They've made some really cool video's.

Chemical Brothers then

Some of my music is slightly DnB. I'll be putting some on soon.

I listen to a lot of more unknown Drum and Bass.

Can I join?

There is no "can i join", just chat about DnB.

Aphex Twin, as you should know, is just one guy. I think you were thinking of the Chemical Brothers. Last time I checked, they weren't DnB.

I know Aphex Twin is one guy, James...something.

But is he DnB? I absolutely love his sound.

Richard D. James

But is he DnB? I absolutely love his sound.

According to wiki he's

Acid House
Braindance
Ambient Techno
Drill and bass
Electronic Music
Noise music

Yes, Aphex Twin IS DnB. Sure some of his work isn't, but just because a metal band releases an power ballad doesn't make them a shitty hair metal band.

That's it, thank you.

Does anyone listen to Daft Punk? If so, what genre are they in?
Thanks.

yeah I listen to a lot of Daft Punk.

From wikipedia:

Techno, house, acid house and electro styles.
