Drum and Bass

Drum and Bass (D&B) is a high-energy genre of electronic music originating in the UK in the early 1990s. It is characterized by fast breakbeats, powerful basslines, and a BPM range of 160-180. The genre has evolved into subgenres like neurofunk, known for its dark sound, and liquid funk, which features smoother and more melodic elements. Drum and bass has a global influence, with a vibrant club and festival culture, and has produced iconic artists like Goldie and Noisia.

Two new releases from the ragga jungle label Big Cat

Leave a Comment / Drum and Bass, Ragga Jungle, Vinyl release

Big Cat has been one of my favorite ragga jungle labels, but I haven’t been following them lately.
Seems like they have been very busy. Last release I bought was #7 and now #19 and #20 is released!

BCR019: Big Cat #19
BCR019: Big Cat #19
a. Ninja Mi Ninja (Remix) – General Malice
aa. Killin’ A Soundboy – The Disciple
“General Malice comes with a sick version of “Ninja Mi Ninja” with a heavy dark feel and top notch drum programing. Disciple does the Lauren Hill vocal justice with this dark amen roller with his signature drum edit styles. This new run of Big Cat records are not to be slept on. Massive tunes pressed on limited color vinyl.”

BCR020 - Big Cat #20
BCR020 – Big Cat #20
a. Platinum VIP – General Malice
aa. Jungle Wars – The Disciple

“Thanks to General Malice and Big Cat for finally pressing this heavy remix of “Platinum” that Malice has been slaying crowds with all over the place. The Disciple does and excellent up tempo jazzy joint complete with souled out vocal, funked out rhodes lick, and a constantly morphing bassline that weaves in and out of the chopped to bits drum programing style. Limited color vinyl pressing.”

You can buy them over at Free Burning for 14.99$ each.

New podcast mix of Sublight tunes from XLR8R magazine

Leave a Comment / Breakcore, Drum and Bass, Experimental, IDM

Seems like breakcore is getting some hype..
The Flashbulb made a mix for XLR8R magazine.

Taken from 2007/05/podcast_sublight_records.
“Since 2004, Winnipeg, Canada’s Sublight Records has been a crucial force in the breakcore and experimental electronic stratospheres, releasing albums from bedroom maniacs Servants of the Apocalyptic Goat Rave, The Gasman, and Ebola (just listen to the names!).

In homage to the headache-inducing label and its fleet of artists, XLR8R commissioned Benn Jordan (a.k.a. The Flashbulb) to compile a mix of the scratchy, doomy, spazzed-out ‘core we’ve come to embrace over the past few years. Featuring anti-hits from the likes of Venetian Snares, Richard Devine, and Wisp, our latest podcast will rip you to shreds. Hear his mix now, exclusively at the XLR8R Podcast DJ Mix Series.”

Here is the download:
Tracklist:
1. Puzzleweasel “FODHOVL”
2. Mark Swift “The Midsummers Swift”
3. Richard Devine “Arc Acid”
4. Wisp “Untethered”
5. The Flashbulb “The Sun And The Star”
6. Enduser “Interruption “1
7. Ebola “Wet T-shirt DSP”
8. Venetian Snares “Yip Yaps”
9. Belladonnakillz “The Man”
10. Datach’i “Lilian”
11. Gareth Clarke “Espirit De Corps”
12. Mr. Projectile “You Need (Cepia Mix)”
13. Synthamesk “Black Sky”
14. The Gasman “Qunce”
15. Lynx And Ram “Walls Are Melting”
16. Acrnym “Kate Says Aye”
