I've been looking for some recommendations on the above mentioned genre. I only have 2 cds which are both by Pendulum. If any one could recommend anything I'd appreciate it greatly.

this is from one of the other threads dealing with this EXACT topic.

Pendulum are pretty awesome.

Here's some more:

Light/Fun
DJ Fresh
High Contrast
Kosheen
Logistics
Noisia

Dark/Hard
Black Sun Empire
Dieselboy

Also check out the CD The Secret Art of Science. Really good DnB compilation.

edit: Oh, see you're also after some jungle and breakbeat. Well then also look into:

Four Tet
Meat Beat Manifesto
The Prodigy - Experience
Sasha
Tipper
Venetian Snares

I saw that thread actually, but it was about electronica as a whole, not certain sub genres.

I picked up Dieselboy's The Human Resource it was exactly what I wanted.

Im a huge Dieselboy fan-if you like The Human resource pick up ALL of his other material as well.

Try these too:

AK1200
Dara
DB
Aphrodite
Andy C

If you're enjoying the darker, harder side of drum and bass (eg. DieselBoy)then I would recommend checking out anything on Renegade Hardware (or their sister label - Barcode) . Both also do excellent compilation CDs that can lead you onto discovering other artists; and it'll give you a good idea of some of the varying styles that can be found within the harder end of D n' B.

Ok, I'll be checking these out, I'll report after I give em a listen =P.

Artist: Goldie

Album: Timeless

Do not start a drum and bass collection without this masterpiece.

Also give Roni Size a try too.

Hope you enjoy.

Noisia are simply stunning and i listen to their stuff constantly, and i also recommend cyantific.

Roni size is a legend too, with brown paper bag being one of my favourite ever tracks, especially are seeing a live version on later with jools holland.

Aphrodite are a bit jungly for me.

X2 regarding 'Timeless' . Definitely a masterpiece .

 

[w4ffl35]

Picked up a Darkcore compilation and I'm listening to it now, theres some good stuff, I just need to go back and find the band names. One band I didn't care for was Mescalium United, might have just been the songs though.

[size=large]SPOR[/size]

for a proper introduction to what dark dnb should sound like. anything from violence recordings or lifted music is the way to go. i do agree with alot of the other recommendations too but these are the peak.

Just out of interest , what does everybody think is the ultimate headphone for dark+fast dn'b ?

 

[w4ffl35]

I'm using ATH-A900s and the music is amazing =o.

I just finished listening to Roni Size - New Forms, it was pretty good not extremely hard/fast but still good. I also got Goldie's Timeless and I don't like it so much, I need to get past the first 2 songs, but the vocal turns me off a bit. I found some Spor but it was only 1 or 2 songs and not in a CD form, is this how all his work is and can you point me to a place to buy his stuff, amazon came up with nothing.
