dark drum n bass / tech-step

by rahula • 15 Aug 2011, 16:21 • Journals
i started listening to dom and roland again and want some similar stuff, but i know very little about drum n bass

prefer atmospheric, dark, industrial sound like this:

Dom & Roland - Thunder

any recommendations?!

you might want to ask jenka/yench for more, he should have some soundcloud channels as well which he is following for such music.

any essential mixes you'd recommend?
Parent

FeedMe 15 Aug 2011, 19:31
I never listen to mixes (well only live) so no :°)

I prefer just browsing my usual dnb forums and discovering new tunes before theyre released :P

Lifted Music is a label started by Spor together with Chris Renegade (formerly Renegade Hardware), Evol Intent guys and Apex (formerly Unknown Error), so almost all EP's are of spor and these guys! u can find them here: http://www.liftedmusic.com/discography (LFTD002 is my favorite)

new tunes: mm a little list of my favorites from 2011:
Commix - Double Double: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhJE4CUNMFs
Rockwell - BTKRSH: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCYFs5AXq98
D1 - Flood Of Emotion (Enei Remix): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_yKnyxEHzQ
Phace & Rockwell - No!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVp92FHtOr4
Icicle - I Feel U: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_AmqO8L1UA
Ulterior Motive - Seven Segments: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaGGTxyGhcM
Krakota - Be Myself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laz99siVIhE

some classics:

Ed Rush & Optical & Fierce - Alien Girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOrKiEqTcio
Ed Rush & Optical - Watermelon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aHtdi-fPqc
Noisia - Block Control: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bovUM-X664
Eskmo - Cloudlight (not dnb) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IddDWBpkzYg
Dillinja - Feel my pain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvrloM2EWDg


Feed Me: recently (like 2 months ago) released a small EP after his album (Pink Lady, To the Stars, Strange Behaviour, Chain Smoker) which was ridiculously big imo!!


I follow dnb on forums like www.dnbforum.com, www.liftedmusic.com/forum, www.breakzforum.be (belgian) and chatting with m8s (mainly YJZZ :x) who also follow scene
