I like artists like Noisia, Limewax, Current Value, Counterstrike, Audio, and Bsoul.

Electronic dance music sub-genres confuse the shit out of me.

Drum'n'bass is one of the easier ones, I reckon.

Faster than 160bpm, beats are based around anything except the 4-to-the-floor doof doof doof doof that is commonplace in house, techno and trance. Often uses sampled breakbeats, traditionally with a lot of syncopation and variations, although after the arrival of tech-step in 1998 the really detailed, edited stuff has become much less popular. I think probably anyone who has got into drum n bass since about 2000 thinks of it as having big punchy beats and angry, distorted basslines.

I never quite got into drum n bass. There are some tracks I like from producers like Digital, Omni Trio, Photek, and Klute, and some jungle stuff like Congo Natty, but I was never rrrrrreally into it.

Klute is good.

Actually, I found my copy of Pendulum's Hold Your Colour the other day, and it's been on steady rotation ever since. I know it's not fashionable among DnB purists, but fuck me, some of the tracks are great. The more goey tunes (Through The Loop) are a bit empty, and Fasten Your Seatbelts makes my skin crawl, but the chilled-out songs like Still Grey and Hold Your Colour are just good, wholesome listening.

BTW, if you want an esoteric subgenre: ghettotech.

I swear the first person to mention Death From Above 1979 gets cockslapped all the way to hell.

I kind of enjoy Curse of the Golden Vampire, so called 'Scum 'n Bass', If I were to find anything else of similiar insanity, I might also like that. One of my mates got very into Pendulum, and I must confess I found it somewhat boring, though there were some interesting tracks.

But... they're not even drum'n'bass! Not in the genre sense, anyways.

I did not expect to find this here.

I am a drum and bass enthusiast to the extreme.
Some links you would be interested in (if you don’t know them already) are:

Annie Mac - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/anniemac/

And

Fabio and Groove Rider- http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/fabioandgrooverider/

On the BBC. Annie Mac features DnB, Grime, Speed Garage, Funky House, the list goes on and on. Fabio and Groove Rider are strictly DnB.

Right now I’m digging Alix Perez.

Ed Rush and Optical are my current favorite dnb act. I saw them last year and they kicked ass. Black sun empire was pretty good too. Pendulum were horible when i saw them on tour, on the other hand their album wasn't that great either so explains why.

I thought the album Hold Your Colour was pretty tight man but agree that their live performances this year were not on par. When they Spun here in Vic (I think it was only one of the DJ’s) the local opener was a better set by far. We are blessed to have sick local talent though.

Aren't they a rock band from Canada?

Curse of the Golden Vampire is Alec Empire and Techno Animal (two of the guys from good ol' Godflesh), so I guess Alec Empire in particular would be a good option. Techno Animal haven't done any other fast music I've ever heard, normally deathly slow mix of industrial, dub, and, more recently, hip-hop. You could try Alec Empire's band Atari Teenage Riot, who mixed up angry hardcore with distorted drum'n'bass breaks.

Your mileage may vary, I guess. I missed them live.

You're a Canberra boy it seems - did you get to see Randall a couple of weeks ago? One of my mates was supporting, but I was too damn poor to go.

Yeah, but they only use a bass and drums, so they invariably get mentioned by some smart alec at some point in most drum 'n bass threads I've seen.

sorry missed that one. The bar I used to work at used at held pretty much well every drum n bass act that came to canberra. Unfrotunately i quit before Randall came to town and I was a tad poor so i missed out on that one. Though chances are i know your mate and have probably heard them play more than once.

If you want scary cool drum n bass get some Evol Intent

You worked at Aree Bar / Church Bar / Transit, or Toast? I used to work at Red Gecko, before it fell apart.

Yay, someone else likes CotGV!

Ontopic, I'm not the biggest fan of D'n'B, although I'm listening to Current Value atm and enjoying it.
