The Drum & Bass Thread (formally Drum 'n' Bass is dead?)
The Drum & Bass Thread (formally Drum 'n' Bass is dead?) Posted on: 19.08.2008 by Random X Every now and than, a musical genres foremost poet or pioneer will come forth claiming the style is dead.We've already seen it in punk, hip hop, metal, rock and opera already. Stupidest thing even, that this seems to be some kind of "retro- cycle" that passes along every decade. With the coming of styles like dubstep amongst others, purists are really keen on claiming that these styles are no derative or subgenre of our beloved DnB. Better yet, they utter the words "DnB is dead!" If your own creative impulses can't cope with a style any longer, why claim it is dead in the first place? Couldn't it just evolve into other (sub)styles? No, kill your idols instead! There seems to be no better way to start something new, than completely destroy any relations with the past. How can a genre with high BPM rates be dead, while comparing it to the ever so low BPM rates of the ever so vivid dubstep? Ofcourse, BPM rates are not a factor in this case, but people listening and enjoying DnB are. There are still heaps and heaps of bass-heads still jumping their shoes to the sounds of d&b pioneers as Krush, Bukem, Dom & Roland and all others still producing. Agreed that the old spirit needs to be revived. Still, it's no reason to don the old lass after that much joy she has given us. Drum and Bass is dead? It seems ever so vibrant as it was in 1996! | |
Ranee Boome 24.02.2010 | Haha, nice one, that's awesome.

Tianna Laguerre 22.02.2010 | I heard Skyline will be on some special EP, they (C&K) didn't say which... it's a surprise. -EDIT: OHOHOOOOO skyline is actualy out now: Edge Of Mind EP Beta Recordings 2010 Artist: Camo & Krooked and John B Label: Beta Recordings Catalog: BETA21W Format: Vinyl, 12" Country: UK Released: 18.01.2010 Tracks: 4 Tracklist : 1. Camo & Krooked - Time Is Ticking Away (feat Shaz Sparks) 2. Camo & Krooked - Mindset 3. Camo & Krooked - Skyline 4. John B - Numbers (Camo & Krooked Remix) On the other note, i have this tune inside my head. It's deepish track and it is all over the place on Bassdrive.com DnB radio and such. It's little bit wobbly and it has distinctive voice sample which says just: "mentaly strong" and for the life of me i can't remember the Title and Artist, i know it is somewhere in my collection but cannot find it. pls help |

Im really looking forward to sick music 2 aswell, im hoping some of the tracks from the hospital mix 8 mix track will be on there, some lovely grooves on that one |
Tianna Laguerre 19.02.2010 | Camo and Krooked album is out now, whatdoyabelieve? |
Ryan Morales 18.02.2010 | Tings going Full Cycle innit. Phace & Misanthrop bring the justice. Noisias new bizzo is heat. Got 16bit in under a week and then I'm running Xample & Lomax, should be masssssiv. So on that note a huge wobble monster of a tune by those boys.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr7pUvDxbKo |
Antonia Dodgens 18.02.2010 | dnb aint neva gunna die. the scene is still pretty big in atlanta and while dubstep is becoming more commercial the dnb genre is going more traditional around here. |
