What about your liquid mix?

Pretty much full of the shit he's after.

I mean that with no disrespect either, I liked your mixes.

Originally posted by skip Yes, I'm sorry that I can't accurately describe what kind of d'n'b I want using words, especially as I don't know much at all about the whole genre. That's why I posted the links to YouTube and Junodownload. I will specify though: I do not want any female vocals. I do not want cheesy shit like Pendulum. I do not want stuff with stupid happy melodies like the above link you posted. I do not want stuff that goes too "hard" (noisy) like the first link you posted. If it's starts to resemble some sort of hardcore, I will most likely not like it. The type of stuff I posted the samples on has the kind of sound I really like. I do not know if the d'n'b I like is "the most generic drum n bass possible". I've heard that many times before but no one has been able to point out where I could find more of this generic d'n'b. Instead every before recommendation has been shit like Pendulum or the kind of stuff in your second link or some of that more laid-back d'n'b of which I cannot remember any examples at the moment.

Also the stuff you posted is a very dated sound, you're asking for stuff that equates to a dnb head asking for stuff that sounds like binary finary or airwave.

Check out any dnb mix from about 2000-2004.

It'd help if the tracks you posted had anything in common apart from generic "filthy" bass, and you always seem to have some intangible something you can't explain that makes you hate one track and love another. So here goes nothing...






Next time I'm really angry I'll have to make a set of this stuff.

I don't think that's what he wants, the deadmau5 remix is a mixture of liquidy melody and harder squelchy sounds, it's kinda like 2 tracks in one, and when he said he didn't like the melody, it put me right off that

I think Phace is maybe perhaps something that might interest you

I looked into that and this might be what I'm after. I listened to Ed Rush and Optical's "Funktion" on YouTube and it's the best tune I've found with the aid of this thread so far. I definitely gotta look into neurofunk more. Thanks for the recommendation.

That's really no surprise as I've been after this kind of stuff since 2002 when I bought that Koe album. It was probably my first proper encounter with d'n'b and I absolutely loved it but to this date have found only a few tunes with a similar vibe. For some reason d'n'b has been the toughest genre for me to find the kind of stuff I like. With trance it was easy, with prog house pretty easy, with techno sorta easy but with d'n'b it's always been super difficult for some reason.

The first tune was pretty close to what I'm after but wasn't a tune I'd buy, but similar kind of tunes might be what I'm after. Second tune didn't sound interesting at all.

This one has a bit of a psy approach but I think it's pretty jamming. Is this anywhere close?

So here goes nothing... Videos of Paperclip - Mechadroid Cloudseeker, Giocator Neutral Point - Ideologiya Survival - Beginning Next time I'm really angry I'll have to make a set of this stuff.

First tune was ok. Kinda emphasizes on the beats and beats only and seemed to be lacking in other stuff.

Second tune has this problem too. It's just the beats and some buzzing, which do sound fine, but it's boring in the end as it's lacking something.

Third tune sounded more annoying than anything and thus wasn't what I'm looking for.

Fourth tune was ok. Nothing special. Annoying increases in volume every now and then. Dunno if that's been done by some idiot who uploaded the vid, but it sure did distract listening to it. Still, not something I'd buy.

1st, 2nd and 4th tunes were pretty close to what I'm looking for, but still not close enough, sadly.


Maybe the tunes I listed only have the "filthy" bass in common, I don't know. But filthy bass sounds like something I like. Maybe I should be asking for d'n'b tunes with filthy bass then.

And i do admit that I usually have that "intangible something I can't explain that makes me hate one track and love another". This is most likely due to my poor knowledge of music theory and the fact that I'm not really musical at all. Music is something mystical to me. Something that to me has little to do with reason and logic unlike pretty much all other things in life.

This is a cheesy "pop dnb" tune. Apart from the vocals I do kinda like it, but it's not really what I'm looking for here. A nice dub remix of it might be nice, but I haven't found one yet at least.

This one sounded pretty good. Hard to judge from a 2 min clip, but I don't think I'd buy this one either.

It's close, but still not quite there.
