Trance N Bass

I recently listened to a dnb set and came across a set that had some pretty sweet songs:

Raiden - Fallin`
Illskillz - be there 4 u

if anyone out there has any trance n bass songs to recommend please do

I've always loved DJ Teebee - Guilty.

wicked, wicked tune...there's a part in it that almost sounds like Xpander being sped-up & played backwards, too.

John B feat. Libby Kitten - Electrofreek (Epic Killah mix) <- classic

Sta & Paul B - Secrets inside <- fooking class!!!! Russian dnb owns!!!!

Rawthang - Epilogue <- quite tranzy and nice vocals

Cause 4 Concern - Luca (teebee mix) <- quite tranzy as well...

and I produce trance'n'bass as well (the epic sort of stuff which I'd rather call trancestep)... here's a thread about one of my tunes. I'm not gonna post the links for the song here because this is not the right forum for this

Yeah, I like the trance and bass (Tnb? ) too, the John B album was wonderful. Personally the Electrofreak freak song is my fave

My favorite DnB tune of all time is a trance n bass crossover.

High Contrast - Return of Forever (John B Remix)

The first time I heard it was when I saw John Tab drop it live in his set. When he played it and the drums dropped out and it was just the melody, everything was in slow motion

Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe we don't feel like saying "a style of music that's played at drum n bass speed and has drum n bass percussion but with trance melodies" every time.

Why don't YOU get over it, hmmm?

You know what we're talking about, don't you? It's about Liquid Funk, which is a very rich genre, borrowing elements from trance, house and/or any other genre such as bossa nova. However, if we're looking just for the tranzy stuff and we say trance'n'bass, there was communication, two people clearly understood each other and it shall continue this way till it get a better name and become an actual genre.

Get over it

Before talking about trance'n'bass we need to look back to what led to the creation of this sound.

It all began with experimental drum'n'bass, which doesn't need any intro: it's the result of some people experimenting on drum'n'bass Out of these experiences came "liquid funk" which is drum'n'bass containing elements from other genres such as house, trance, techno, polka,... anything at all Lately, the breeding of drum'n'bass and trance became quite popular in the underground scene but it's not a genre yet. "Why not?", you might ask. Simply because there are no producers and DJ's that work exclusevely with this sound. Maybe, in a near future, it may evolve to a proper genre, maybe not.

This trance'n'bass name was given by mixmag to show what this tranzy dnb is, so it's not official or anything.

In fact, I'd rather call it trancestep, which isn't such a cheese name

its interesting how nobody in the dnb scene calls it 'trance n bass' yet everyone in the trance scene wants to latch on to it as if its the new fad, when in fact this kind of sound has been around for a while...

Posted by decode on Jan-13-2003 08:10:

I heard some of this style and i dont like it. I dont belive trance should be changed into that, However some people like it and thats just my opinion.

Posted by Lira on Jan-13-2003 13:13:

^^^ trance doesn't need to change into that, it may just borrow more elements and evolve to another sub-genre The more (real) different genres, the better it is

It's because they know it's just liquid funk and, as you said, it's not new for them (it's new for us, mainly).

Well, junglists here would say trance'n'bass or trancestep to specify this sound though (which is the name I've mentioned a thousand times in this thread )

Posted by Furel on Jan-13-2003 13:16:

Where can I download any of these tunes??? I really couldn't find them in Kazaa or other softwares... Can you help me out?
thanks!

Soulseek has been taken over by junglists.
Remember: we never had this conversation

Maaz:

[16:56] * vermi listens to Sta & Paul B - Secrets Inside [pre-edit] (6:49/320) (*brag brag brag* - if you dont got it though)

i wouldnt exactly say its TnB, as it is more of the hard and raw dnb, like almost all the other Sta & Paul B productions, for example "F5"

I added this because of the trazny feeling of the tune, I know it's not the usual tnb were talking about

By the way, I've got this tune too (6:49/192) But I'm gonna talk to you later about it (gotta leave now)

Currently listening to DJ Marky-LK (Marcus Intalex remix)

It's not trance n' bass but it's awesome drum & brazz liquid funk by the master Marky himself. So amazing!

ooh ooh ooh! some more quality D'n'B! I too have been converted to the magic music. Since that mixmag CD, I was sucked in, but am loathe to call it "Trance'n'BAss" I agree with Maaz on his sub-genre opinions.

I borrowed my friends Bass, Breaks and Bass CD, which is a bit commercial, but it has some quality tunes on it. It certainly suits my car audio system. Tunes like Dillinja - Twist 'Em Out and Total Science - Squash VIP are really nice. Not quite as "trancey" as the oter tunes, but good examples of the genre.

I've also converted some people to this new Trancestep genre, my friend has a nice BMW with 4 Alpine Type R subwoofers in his trunk, and he loves how Raiden performs on them. According to him, the tune "has bass that lies in 2 fantastic frequencies, and the first two bass notes are excellent for street bass, as they are of high frequency, and the last two notes and excellent for SPL ratings, as they are close to the 20Hz zone"

Werd... I really admire Marky's work and I once saw some kind of biography and it was really touching because in the beginning, he would go to the clubs spin by bus (and sometimes he would take three buses to get there), carrying his case and stuff and he managed to convert most of S�o Paulo's Rappers into drum'n'bass. In fact, it's very weird to know that he's spinned hip-hop, hardcore and lots of other genres in the past

Heres the full tracklist and Mixmag's description.

1. John B & Libbey Picken - Electrofreek (John B's Epic Mix)
Get your spot on the Dancefloor, and make sure you've got some water, cos this is shimmering vocal trance n bass to get things jumping. Its also an Exclusive. Epic? Its Apocalyptic.

2. John B - Blue Eyeshadow
The first taster of John B's fascination of all things 80's, with it's ' Blue Monday' style beats. If the rest of John's electro stuff is this good, DJ Hell better get on the blower to him.

3. Concord Dawn - Morning Light
The New Zealand pair may be fresh to the scene in the UK, but they're used to it grimed up and meaty down under. This getting banged all over town.

4. Teebee - Severed Dreams
This is the soun of your head on naughties getting flushed down the Fabric toilets by a fit bird. Teebee is the Norwegian behind the Sasha sampling, Expander sounding Trance n Bass classic - Guilty

5. Cause4Concern - Moongerm
Their remix of Helicopter is blowing up and this is sublime dancefloor destruction. Mind your Ears.

6.Concord Dawn - Aurora
Another razor wire of ethereal production. This one goes off live, we're told, and if u get the chance to c them, take it.

7. Raiden - Fallin
This combines middle Eastern bird-wailing with nastu beats and basslines and trancey melodies.

8. Concord Dawn feat Scopic - Take Me Away
Take me away, sings a voice as the buzz of a cloud of mutant wasps closes in with the filtihiest bassline to batter your speakers in time. Tune.

9. Techincal Itch & Kemal - The Calling
Synth - Heavy Carnage

10. Plex - Speedfreak
720 degrees, resposible for leftfield DnB used to be an offshoot of good Looking Records, til Blame took it over. Speedfreak is more of the same.

11. John B & Natalie Warren - Mirror of Thought
The kind of une that gets die hard junglists reaching for their glowsticks. Vocal trance n bass for beat freaks and cyber kids.

12. D-Kay & Rawfull - Be There 4 U
D n B used to be just about ;loops and breaks . In 2002, vocal tracks like this scream for exposure.

13. Klute - Transform
Klute, has been around, since time begun. He used to make skate punk, but thankfully, turned to the dark side. This is one of the earlies examples of T n B.

Have you heard him spin live? He's such an amazing dj, so much energy! Right now he's my #2 fav dj of any genre.
