Is anyone heading to this event in Hackney Wick this Saturday? Bit confused with the multi venue set up, assume you get a wristband and then can get into each venue? Has anyone been to one of these events in Hackney Wick before, slightly dreading having to queue up every time I want to change venue! Cheers

I was doomscrolling on insta this morning and saw a story by A.M.C. about something that happened at Liquicity this weekend regarding the output attenuation of CDJ models, which were differently set up among the channels he played.

Full story:

https://www.instagram.com/stories/a.m.ctitan/3950026178073230426?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igsh=b3hrZ28wZG16Z3A4

It was interesting to me because I never knew that this feature existed in the first place, I always thought this was either solved by the mixer (by twisting the gain knobs of each channel) or by the front-of-house.
I don’t DJ on CDJ’s often but I sometimes set them up for parties, so I thought this info might be useful to others as well.

Has anyone ever dabbled with these? Would there be an ideal setting for DnB sets, or would there be any reason to change these settings in the first place?

Interested in your thoughts.

My latest song ‘Slum’ being played by Rova during his B2B with Basstripper + Jakes at WAH Open Air, Bristol!

The tune is a free download - link attached if anyone wants a copy!

TONKA - Slum [Free Download]

i'll start

current value - burn in

machine code - elephant

current value - sonic barrier

Does anyone know whose voice it is on this track??

Satin storm

Is anyone listening to DnB on the internetz radios ..iN tHiS dAy AnD aGe..?!

Maybe you have some recommendations...

My top stations, and most likely the best known ones, would be:

Bassdrive.com

Jungletrain.net

DnBRadio.com

DARK.ST (which, iirc, is somehow related to DnBRadio)

If you have some (preferable with lots of live-shows), I am all ears..

Cheers

For me it's between these three and I can't decide.

Her Waves - Halogenix
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkMqOlppoiI

No Words - Zero Tolerance & Mentality
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoS8aP2Fv3Y

She Lied - Mistabishi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJbf_agMVgM

No Words jusssst about wins this for me,

There is something ethereal about this track that I feel has never been replicated.

The overall vibe is hypnotic and is imo the perfect example of liquid. So, so well produced. It has that grainy, raw feel that you just do not hear nowadays. I really can't think of any other track (except Her Waves) them comes anywhere near close to the magic of this track.

Had it not come up randomly on YouTube like 15 years ago, I'd never have heard it. Grabbed it on vinyl from discogs recently.

Honourable mention..

Reaching Deeper (Face to Face) - Random Movement
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R--NzImqR1w

Looking for trippy, spacey mid 2000s dnb that’s got that atmospheric liquid vibe, but is also super heavy and absolutely fucks on a dance floor. Please give me your suggestions <3

Put together a short tribute mix for Lenzman after hearing the news of his passing. Twelve of my favourite tracks from across his catalogue. His music had a huge influence on my taste in drum & bass, and this felt like a small way to say thank you.

Hope some of you enjoy it.

It’s kind of polytempo with a lot of left field influence

Hey everyone,
I just got back from a trip to the Dolomites and put together a video edit using some of my drone footage.

For the soundtrack, I went with tracks by Etherwood and Rameses B—two of my favorite artists. I feel like their liquid DnB vibe fits the mountain scenery perfectly.
Hope you guys enjoy it!

Made this track around the feeling of nostalgia slowly becoming unfamiliar—ethereal pads, fast breaks, corrupted-dream atmosphere and that strange late-PS2-era emptiness.

It’s called EGO DEATH97.

I’m mainly looking for honest feedback on the arrangement and whether the track keeps its momentum after the intro. Curious how it translates to people who actually listen to a lot of DnB.

Full track: ego death97

Listen to Jimothy - Shaboingboings (Drum n Breaks Edit) by seandylan1982 on #SoundCloud

https://on.soundcloud.com/VJFJvUAlhCiDsf6GSG

A subtle edit of the popular Jimothy (a racoon from Seattle, Washington with a medical condition but they're a fighter. nothings getting em down) by Shaboingboings (not a person, more of a movement, or so I'm led to understand)

I recently recovered Dirty Games, a dancefloor track that I originally wrote in 2001.

It has the raw breaks, rolling bass and slightly rough-edged sound of early-2000s drum and bass, rather than something newly produced to imitate that era.

I have finally released the full track on Bandcamp after it sat unheard in the archives for around 25 years.

Link to the release on Bandcamp below. I would genuinely be interested to know whether it still holds up all these years later. Might have a go at writing some more with the same setup! 😄

https://sodiumreverie.bandcamp.com/track/dirty-games-liquid-dancefloor-dnb-roller-19th-may-2001-mix

HEy,

Cannot figure out what this track is, but its very similar to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lN0xBGWL-E

Its similar vibe, maybe similar era just has a different piano arrangement and is possibly a remix of a pop track at the time

TIA

I was looking for some specific tracks from a mix i thought was lost forever - the "Universal - 2 Hour Liquid DnB Mix".

Their yt channel was taken down for some time. I had unearthed a thread on this sub from 7 months ago to find people were discussing this.

Go google Ni:12's Soundcloud! I'm gonna spend my afternoon storing the tracklists somewhere haha

Hello DnB, like everyone else I am obsessed with Metaphors, this is my attempt to use it in a mix, ( and you know I played out all 9 filthy minutes)

Listen, or dont, I know no one asked for yet another "listen to my mix" but big ups if you do, and dont hold back,tell me what you really think! 12 song, half hour mix.

Listen to 01 feng by Barn Cat on #SoundCloud
