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! | |

05.07.2010 | ontopic... this saturday we threw a half-legal dnb party, the place was unexpectedly packed and it was at least 40 |
Marguerite Salsedo 05.07.2010 | I can imagine it would have... hell, I just wanna go to a Drum & Bass evening
cause it's my favourite music (sad I haven't been to one yet), but those are few and far between in the great white north. I believe Chase & Status are playing (or played) in Toronto sometime this summer... but it's Chase & Status... much rather see the likes of Audio or Tech Itch lol. P.S. 100th Post, WOOHOO! |
sinior cliff 05.07.2010 | Gein's performance blew me away. The caliber of DJing from all the acts was superb. Absolutely honored to have been a part of that evening |
Marguerite Salsedo 02.07.2010 | @Damien: Gein are freaking awesome!!! @Ammunition: Ed Rush & Optical live? Jealous. |

Ranee Boome 30.06.2010 | That's fine man, not expecting to please everyone, as everybody has their preference. Our next one's gonna be much more toned down though. It's funny that you say "not generic teenage obsessions" though, b/c we just sold a few of these shirts to a band, and those dudes are like over 50. They're like an old 80's big hair style band, but they loved em, lol |
