if we're being completely honest photek is absolute shit now and dom is still doing quality stuff

>>72546274
sorry, lived it. Tried listening to some of the Mo Wax stuff again too, and it did not hold up any better.

>>72546307
But Photek at his peak was much better than dom ever was

Trip hop aged like shit. Drum and bass, on the other hand, is timeless.

no serious. kinda liked it when it came out, but aged like shit. borderline insufferable now.

Couldn't even make it through 30 seconds.

Drum & Bass is grating

What was going on in the mid 90s where this was appealing?

Oldfag here. In the mid-to-late 90's, drum & Bass was a refuge for a certain kind of person who while they found the increasing puritanical vibe of indie rock stifling; still found the rave scene to be too hedonistic and the club scene too faggy.

It's true. Drum & Bass didn't age well.

>aged poorly
Compared to...?

>>72547414
True. D&B and 'illbient' where the great mistakes of the mid nineties.

So I guess I'm the only person on this shithole of a board who appreciates drum and bass and especially Photek.

You faggots worship your flavor of the month memerappers and gay indie bands but you call DnB a mistake.

Fuck /mu/ I need to find a better music board

The fact the 2017 rework of Inner City Life is barely different to the original is proof enough that classic DnB hardly aged at all.

>>72547734
>>72547750
if it's aged so well, why is it never played anywhere? I live in NYC and haven't heard this shit in 15 years.

No one gave a shit about dnb while they did for trip hop

>>72547936
back in the 90s the only electronic genres in america were big beat and trance for the rave heads and trip-hop and dnb (and the fusion genre "illbient") for the """""""""""'sophisticated"""""""""""' crowd

also idm for the mallgoth crowd courtesy of trent reznor's label

>>72547750
that rework literally just made it worse

>>72544653
this board has basically no understanding of electronic genres and Photek turned to hot garbage immediately after the 90s

Jungle is just so much worse than house and techno

>>72549271
>Photek turned to hot garbage immediately after the 90s
But that doesn't undo all the great music he made in the 90s.

And a few of his more recent tracks are not bad.

>>72549429
House is trash. Literally just plebified techno for normies.

>>72549554
Music with an actual feel that you can dance to isn't a bad thing

Of course a fan of Photek and the rest wouldn't get that.
>muh jazzy breaks

Damn. First time I see a Photek thread on /mu/.

Don't worry OP I love D&B as well but this board was never the place to discuss it. Too few of us around here.

Anyways, Photek did make some of the genre's greatest tracks. It's a shame that he ran out of ideas for others. 'Rings Around Saturn', 'UFO' and 'KJZ' are masterpieces.

>>72551938
DnB still has its refinement and has so many variations of it. The problem with other things is that you get very little variation unless they know how to switch their styles

ew

intelligent jungle >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ragga shite

>>72552263
What's the difference between this "intelligent"/non raga jungle and drum and bass?

When you take the reggae/dancehall out of jungle, isn't that literally what drum and bass is

>>72552299
One is able to be skilled and varied, and the other is total shite

>>72552444
Would early Photek be considered jungle or DnB

>>72552479
Id say both, but more jungle. If you want DnB, it's stuff like origin unknown and shimon and bad company's first few releases

>dnb is bad!
>has anyone else heard the new Father John Misty LP?
