Think ive lost my mind D&B on 19:06 - Nov 24 by DE79
Small world! I've recently had a couple of tunes released on Ed Jedi's label. The old skool sound was what got me really interested in music as a kid, so it was good to break out all the '90s samples for full nostalgia.
I'm a Drum & Bass producer/DJ, there are a few other Rs out there - Nicky Blackmarket as already mentioned and Mark Force (Reinforced/Bugz in the Attic) spring to mind, although I'm sure there are more...

yeah that's why Octamed was great, because you could use the QWERTY as the input device. It was like having two rows of piano. If that makes sense.
I've got a mate who does tunes on FruityLoops or whatever it is called and he's making good stuff. I'd need something free and simple for me to get back on it.
My brother is looking to record some guitar stuff and I think a PC DAW is the way forward but I'm struggling with the idea of getting started.
It's good because they essentially give you the full version of the previous release for free, so it's not in any way a demo install, it's the real deal just not the very most up to date.
This is developing into an amateur producers thread and I'm here for it.
Edit: if you're looking to record guitar, get an SM58 mic (or cheaper but similar mic depending on budget) to start with, it's industry standard all rounder, will do vocals etc. then you might look to get a more detail oriented condenser mic once you're up and running

Yeh mate, Rage was the place. Legend has it (youtube) that's where Goldie first experience E and DnB , Hardcore etc . Also Doc Scott , both Brummies' and graff writers. It all spilled out from Rage really , but also the London pirates stations just went mad on it. Fantasy, Kool, Don, Pulse fm.
You cant talk about Goldie and Doc Scott without Rufige Cru, Metalheads and Reinforced records
Just on this Fabio and Grooverider. For me Grooverider was the main man. Almost like Lennon and Macartney , Lennon being the Groove. lol Im always fascinated by the switch from Acid House to Hardcore, Jungle, DnB. I wasnt there in the very early days but House and DnB seem poles apart now.

I am also really enjoying this JunglisticRs thread and Silkys Memories track is growing on me every time I listen to it. Great piece of work! As written I was so lucky to arrive to London in 1988, getting a flat in Batson Street, Shepherds Bush without having a clue about what was going on at that time in London. Apart from going to Loftus Road every second Saturday. Then I met a friendly Irish crew who took me clubbing. And I was suddenly part of the acid house scene/second summer of love. Going to brilliant clubs such as Shoom, Love at the Wag, Spectrum, etc. That was an awesome experience and marked complete paradigm shift in (electronic) music. Soon Acid house got a lot of negative tabloid attention and cheasy chart hits killed it. But the underground scene continued and going to Rage in the following years I realised how the many variations of the amen sample and breakbeats started making a new sound - combined with ragga samples. But still with elements from house. And as you correctly wrote PunteR - Fabio and Grooverider were the main men back then. Almost like Lennon and Macartney as you wrote :-) Good comparison considering what they started back then has been around for 3 decades now in many variations - from a multitude of artists. I am now in my 50´s and living another life back in Denmark. But I never lost the excitement when I hear good d'n'b/jungle music as I did for instance at Notting Hill Carnival a few months ago. It seems like there is a new generation now at my kids age that has taken jungle to them and started making great new music with respect for the old sound. This year I had the pleasure to hear two nu skool jungle acts who made me dance and thinking that the sound is still very much alive. NIA Archives and 4 AM Kru:

I don't like it. The twee vocals seem like they should be on a TV advert for some bullshit and the beat is the bare minimum for D&B. Snare on 2 and 4, kick on 1 and the upbeat of 3.
If you're going to do it, do it right.
Ha Ha Bluce soz in fairness my really good friend who is a proper D&B raver said she doesn't do vanilla when I sent her this when it came out...oh and something about no music for p***ies only proper stuff. She's well into Neuerofunk TBF
Most embarrassingly I literally had no idea whatsoever I started this thread Don't carry on all day Monday after a big Sunday is my sensible advice. I have decided to become a sensible, upstanding useful member of society from now on after that aberration lol Well apart from going to Tribe of Frog last night lol
Anyhow apart from the Burt Cope track these are my favourite D&B tracks from the last couple of years plus my favourite two ever - As I've Spackmaned many a time on the TFFT lol.....Sorry Bluce I don't think you will approve but when it comes to D&B I like intelligent as it was and Liquid as it is now. Weirdly when it comes to Acid Techno I love it when it goes as hard as fkn nails.
And my absolute favourite two..........funnily enough both on a a Moving Shadow cassette taht was free with Wax magazine in December 1996.
The true rebels always walk alone anyway.

Oh man, I can f**k with this ALL DAY.
Proper D&B.
Yeah you've got chops Mr Silky, this is proper!
I had a house mate who was obsessed with Good Looking, and listening to this I can just imagine him playing this and the smell of weed wafting from his room

Thanks mate, it's massively appreciated. This track took a lot out of me. The vinyl releases take forever to finally get out there.
Very happy with this one.
Ah to relive those days again, having a toke with chilled GLR releases like they were new again.
My copy dropped in this week. Also got Tim Reapers Tuff Luv VIP Mix bonus record. Stonking tune and remixes. That intro on the original mix of Bells Of Arptazia ....wow .. amazing.
I see the record is already sold out.!
Top man Silky, thank you . Hope you had a great Christmas and hopefully we'll catch up in the new year. x

Ah mate, glad you got it okay. Will sort out that other record for you when I can. Thanks for the kind words and hope you had a great Christmas mate. 👌
Justin Drake the main man on engineer production duties, who also was behind Champion sound The Alliance remix plus all the pumping House Ugly Bug tunes with Pete (the Shaker)Bones* . Also one half of Peace Division which during the late 90s and early 00s smashed the Prog / Tech House scene.
