-- "Atmospheric DnB"?

"Atmospheric DnB"?

I have heard a bit of this genre on pandora and really enjoyed it, however don't have any of the track names.

Can anyone recommend good producers/labels putting out quality atmospheric DnB or as wikipedia calls it, intelligent dnb?

Thanks!

ltj bukem, good loking records

It's not really made anymore. It was massive around 1997 and LTJ Bukem and his Good Looking label were the main proponents. Shame really, as this is easily my favourite sub-genre of jungle. Check out the first Logical Progression compilation, one of the best mix CDs ever.

Some favourites:

Seba & Lotek - So Long


Apok - Noctis (Slowed Down Mix)


PFM - Danny's Song


Blame - Sphere (Seba Remix)
- cut from Blame's mix-CD "Two Revolutions"


Seba - Planetary Funk Alert


Erykah Badu - On & On (Blu Mar Ten Remix)
- edited version from a compilation "A Journey Into Drum'n'Bass vol. 2", single version is longer
- BMT did also a lovely bootleg remix of Erykah's "You Got Me"


Taucher - Outside World
- Taucher isn't known for d'n'b at all but this is an exception even if this doesn't have quite the sub bass d'n'b normally has

I checked on beatport and itunes, couldn't LTJ/Good looking records anywhere... Guess they don't want my money...

But I did find ALL of it from a less legitmate source

Thanks for the recommendations!

As I said, this stuff is 10+ years old now, so most of it is out of print anyway and your money couldn't go to them. Bukem still has stuff in print which you can find on Amazon.

What Sys Jackster said there.

Most of this older dnb stuff hasn't been put out as digital downloads and judging by what I've read here and there, probably never will. Bukem used to have a label shop where you could buy some selected downloads, CDs and vinyls from the Good Looking/Looking Good catalogue and back catalogue but it was put down a while back. So if you really want these in some properly legal format instead of shady mp3s, you can get secondhand copies of compilations and albums featuring these from amazon or discogs.com for example.

Oo.. Muffler. One of the Finnish producers keeping us on the EDM map. I prefer the A-side Mermaids much more than Waves Breaking. Mostly he does the more hectic kind of dnb than the laid back and atmospheric kind but occasionally he puts out some more relaxed tracks, like the remix below which is one of my Muffler favs. Still waiting for an official release.

RinneRadio - Nao (Muffler Remix)

AGREED!!!

I love both of those tracks and love his relaxed style of songs rather then his full on D&B tracks.

P.S. that remix of his that you posted is too good and I've also been dying to get my hands on it for a while.

In around early September he mentioned there were plans to get it out on 12" in the near future but if that doesn't work out he might put it out as a digital release - possibly for free even. The remix has got a pretty huge following and lots of DJ play in the dnb circles so there really is demand for a release..

As for Nao, i still love the Rinneradio's original version more than Muffler's remix but they're both amazing.

That's wicked . I love this type of D & B and I cant seem to find a lot of music like this. I'll be honest I'm not that big into D&B but when I do come across music like Muffler's I just cant get enough.

What do you call this type of D&B? soft D&B?

I would love to support any future digital releases if there are any...

Just ordered the first Logical Progression from someone at discogs... At least I tried
