I conceed that there are a lot of drum and bass composers about who are pusing same old same olds, beats that relie on the same triplet patterns, bass lines cropping up in the same rhytmik strukture etc, but this is the same with all types of musik.I think that in general jungle is getting darker, the roots dancehall vibe is still there but in a scarier techno feeling way. I think that techno roots are becoming ever more prevalent without loosing the groove.
When I hear good drum and bass I hear several musical ideas being suggested and played around with. So that even one song can step out the evoulotion in severel ways.
Nu Formz and Saturn happened to come into being when the Media wanted someone to wear the badge. But this is also looking at these works as "albums", drum and bass flows better when uve got 12"s or MP3s, listening to everyone at once and hear whos influencing who etc..
I dont class Square Pusher as drum and bass cos I dont feel like hea got that groove, his beats are too broken.
Dilinja makin everything LOUDER, but hes really good at keepin it balanced. Big Bad Bass was just a sampler for the Valvesystem, his work since has production wise been gettin well more refined.
DJ Teebee has got an amazin sound, really deep atnospheric interestin textures , but still ruff beats.
Bad Company are always strong. moving fusion, Indusrty stuff, Ray Keith, MILITIA!! Its goin on everywhere, all the time......... |
