I'm mostly dissappointed with D&B these days but there's been some alright releases this year. There's been a lot more good Jungle and oldskool hardcore this year though. Haven't settled on a D&B LP of the year so far but it will probably be Calibre - The Deep or Klute - Read Between The Lines.

I've spent most of the last couple of months listening to old Jungle tapes rather than new stuff.

How come you are disappointed? Isn't there enough distinction between the tracks or what?
Also i listen to older mixes here:

They're pretty good.

It's mainly that I've been listening to D&B for ages now and recently it just feels like either everything sounds the same or everything tries to hard to be experimental and different that it comes across not sounding like D&B. I also don't like a lot of the Neurofunk coming out on labels like Eatbrain and Blackout NL (and I used to really like Neurofunk) and the modern labels I used to really be into like Samurai Music, Exit Tunes and Critical Recordings aren't releasing as much good stuff as they did a couple of years ago (but Ingredients still is).

I think I'm just getting bored of D&B now apart from old Techstep which no one makes anymore, whereas I still like Jungle and Breakbeat Hardcore as much as I have ever done.

Neuro has been shit for years dude. Critical has some really gnarly releases lately. The 15 years Underground Sonics was cool, and Vromm is an absolute beast. Might be time to move onto halftime

>>73789857
I'd never heard of Coco Bryce until maybe last year but he seems to be releasing loads of great shit, everything on Myor Massiv so far has been huge.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh-pd90ae8U

7th Storey Projects are also doing some cool shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwstXdwO2lA

There's a label called Repertoire which has some great shit on there but it's hard to find any of it.

>>73789882
I used to like Neurofunk a lot around 2004-05 but around 07 it started going downhill a bit, and apart from a brief revival when Neosignal was announced it hasn't ever got any better. The Underground Sonics comp was nice though.

I've never been into Halftime at all. I prefer my breakbeats to be fast tempo, I've never really like slower D&B/Jungle.

I haven't listened to any new D&B since '07. What's good nowadays?

Dom's recent EP was solid

Smoke Signals by Overlook (on UVB-76 Music) is my favorite D&B LP of the year so far. Though I expected a little more, it has some truly interesting tracks with fantastic drums.

Bungle - Cocooned (on 31 Records) is my favorite EP. Highly recommended, also it's all killer no filler which is too rare in D&B these days unfortunately. Massive, massive stuff.

Not loads, my list of good breakbeat releases from this year is mostly Jungle or Hardcore because I haven't heard loads of good D&B this year.

The comp of the year so far is probably Gradients.

>>73792403
That's too bad. In any case, I'll likely be checking out all recs ITT.

>>73792119
Good to know, Dom is one of my favourites for sure.

Eatbrain did release that malux EP and agressor bunx' album, which weren't too bad. Blackout also had gridloks nice new album, but DnB is changing. 1991 is a fucking beast with his stuff

Some new invisible stuff today. Solids_1

I find the halftime craze okay, but it seems boring. Noisia and ivy lab are masters at this, but now it needs to stop.

I wasn't a huge fan of the new Agressor Bunx LP, it's pretty similar to a lot of stuff that used to come out regularly over the last few years.

Ninj, what did you think of Gridlok's album? I was very, very disappointed by it. Calibre was also a disappointment for me, as much as I hate to admit it (the opener 'No One Gets You' is great, though).

However, the first half of Klute's LP is really solid ('Soul Boy' is what I'm talking about). And I only listened once to the Survival one but it has quite the bangers.

Had no idea about the Nebula album. I'm listening to excerpts now and it sounds marvelous. Will check some other stuff you listed, too. Always cool to catch up by checking your recs, man. Cheers.

Is this the best liquid track of all time?

>>73793571
Gridloks album was...decent. I did like vault dweller and the hive collaboration, but the rest felt weak and not like gridlok.

>>73793547
Full release of Mr Happy VIP when. Been waiting for it ever since I heard it in DJ Hazard's FL mix.

Gridlok's LP was what I expected it to be given that it's on Blackout NL. I don't actually like that label desu but it's Black Sun Empire so by law I have to listen to it all. Even BSE's latest LP on their was only alright, which is a huge drop in form for them as every LP they did (apart from Lights and Wires) has been excellent. I haven't listened to any old Gridlok for ages though, I don't even remember what his Project 51 stuff sounds like.

Calibre's LP this year was good, not quite up to the same standards as his older stuff but still nice. I think Spill was the last album by him which I thought was actually impressive rather than being just good, but he's made life impossible for himself seeing as nothing (by anyone) will ever live up to Second Sun. New Klute was standard Klute, which is a good thing. The Survival LP was actually a lot better than I thought it was going to be, I like Dispatch Recordings but I don't always listen to everything off it. The whole album was solid from start to finish.

But Astronomy is better than everything else this year by a mile.

Fucking hell m8, i knew that Nebula LP was gonna be big since SW announce it. Also a great label for anyone interested in new jungle and dnb.

You should post your archives since you're here lad :^) (already have em bookmarked t b h).

>>73794090
If you want to listen to gridloks best, it's in the break the system album, and the insecticide/dirtball single.

I've heard Break The System but so long ago that I can't remember any of it. My favourite Gridlok track is Vampire.

I like all of Gridlok's release on Violence, but then again I like all of Violence Recordings.
