Great DnB sets

Anyone have recommendations for some excellent drum and bass sets?

Compared to my knowledge of trance and techno, I am shamefully uneducated about what is good in DnB.

Same here. And that's exactly how I want to keep it.

Finally something I fully can agree to Matt

But I'm sure others can be more helpful.

Also interested in this, stuff similar Cybernetika would be cool. I also enjoy some of High Contrast.

The LTJ Bukem Essential Mix from 1995 is great.

DJ Three - Martini DnB from 1995 is also good.

Don't know of many sets, i know there are a few podcasts on iTunes you could check out, one of the more popular and my favourites is Drum And Bass Arena Podcast With The Risky. Love that show.

Dj DB Shades of Technology is great for it's time (1998)

it's always a tough one because many 'live' recordings have MCs. Some of them aren't bad and know when to talk and when not to but others are abysmal. Anyway I'd recommend some promo mixes or podcasts.

Random Movement Podcast

London Elektricity Podcast for Data Transmission

Loadstar DT Podcast (Jump Up style)

Phil Tangent - Soul:ution night - live at Sun & Bass 2011 - some MC but not much at all and not obtrusive

check those out for a start. There are also essential mixes, check out those from Blame, Sub Focus, High Contrast (2), Pendulum (2005 one) and Goldie.

This one always does the trick for me. It's not very clever or varied, and this was pretty much the beginning of the end for the whole Virus-sound, but the bite and impact it has is undeniable. Track 12 is absolutely savage.

The "From The Vaults" sets in here are worth a look:

Mixes by Blu Mar Ten by Blu Mar Ten

I don't usually listen to drum 'n bass sets though. The MCs and obtrusive DJing tricks like rewinds and double drops may make for a good party, but I don't want to hear them on my headphones. Obviously LTJ Bukem is a given (probably my favourite DJ of any scene, actually), and I don't mind Conrad. The latter has actually got a lot better these days. Rather than just endlessly repeating the same few lines ("Ease the pressure, ease the pain" etc.) he has a lot of flow and really adds to the experience of seeing them in a club.

And yeah, it's BSP, but you should probably check out my drum 'n bass mixes (Catharsis and Excession). I don't know if they're "great", but they deliver the melodic spacey atmospherics you're fond of.

Posted by Vector A on Nov-02-2011 10:37:

Yeah, the MCs get a bit annoying, but I can tolerate them if the music is excellent.

Just finished listening to this set. Pretty damn good.
Are there any liquid DnB (I don't know if that's the right name) sets out there anyone can recommend?

Posted by Mr Game+Watch on Nov-03-2011 14:31:

I liked System J's D&B sets and Dave King's "Indian Summer" (listening to the latter right now) as far as D&B sets go... as well as some of the early LTJ Bukem mixes.

Posted by pozz on Nov-03-2011 21:06:

haven't been keeping up at all so the most recent and very nice set i know of is this one:

Code - Subtle Audio Mix 002

tracklist and dl link: http://www.subtleaudiorecordings.com/mixes.html

older mixes:
LTJ Bukem - Swing Red October (17-10-1992)
Grooverider - The Edge (xx-xx-1993)
LTJ Bukem - Studio Mix (xx-xx-1993) (two mixes, it's ripped off a tape)
LTJ Bukem - Fusion Chill Out (xx-03-1994) (tape rip)
LTJ Bukem - Love of Life (xx-xx-1996) (tape rip)
Dillinja - 1994-2001 Mix (xx-xx-2001)

i have only a few more sets in my archive that i really like.

this thread needs more recommendations outside of LTJ Bukem.
