WELCOME TO THE JUNGLIST MASSIVE, WE'VE GOT FUN N GAMES: 2017 Rolling Drum and Bass/Jungle/Liquid/Neurofunk/170

stick with it, levels up about 4.5 mins in

metalheadz on the comeback.
i picked up the recent(ish) mikal album a few weeks back, and damn, it hits the spot.
just a shame that the new goldie album sounds like a snorefest from the reviews.

Yup, Metalheadz on point lately

And

And on the new V records Brazilian album

And delightfully 1996 vibes straight outta Reykjavik

Oh and Kid Drama on Headz as well. I do love Kid Drama

I haven't heard the new Makoto album yet but the tracks I've heard from it were really good. My Spotify access should be back by Wednesday, that's probably the first place I'm going to go.

Schedule for this year's Sun and Bass festival, for anyone interested. Look at the goddamn names, it's nonstop legends. I'm hoping to go next year. Bassdrive will probably be broadcasting bits of it live this week.

Those Metalheadz tracks are amazing, I dunno if they've got someone new signing records but they've got a couple bangers right there. I've heard better stuff from Brazil last year but I'll still check out the V comp.

kid drama is great but what about kid lib?

That Kid Lib track is great, I had it up on youtube and another track from the EP started right after and that one was great too.

stoked for results of this, always found these genres hard to crack for the Good Stuff

Sleepwalker, the new AwakeFM EP on Omni is great, I recommend it highly if you like atmosphere and melody and shit like that.

For those compiling your year-end lists, this playlist includes all the available tracks on this thread, organized roughly chronologically in order of mention:

ILM's 2017 Rolling DnB + Jungle Thread Spotify Playlist

I'm sure the new T.R.A.C. album Life In Motion isn't news to anyone, but hot damn is it good. Probably the only dnb album of the year that crosses over into my all-genre top ten.

should we start the 2018 thread so i can repost this detboi masterpiece

And on comes Alix as a late substitute and bangs it into the top corner for DnB track of 2017

Legendary full cycle artist has now dropped the "DJ" from his moniker and returns on 31 records. And it's really good

KRUST!!!

Not bad.

Oh no.DJ Tango has passed away. Never to be forgotten fo this

https://youtu.be/1FX_GZfAkhY

And this

https://youtu.be/4L2VmS8EL9o

And finally. With his partner DJ Ratty, probably the finest exponent of the classic late 92 early 93 Jungle Techno sound. RIP

https://youtu.be/LowK4JV5zzU

Sorry forgot this. I am quite sad about this but leaves a very strong (and surprisingly influential catalogue)

https://youtu.be/1tUM6x_znf0

i posted my favorite tango track on another thread earlier today ...

Atmospheric Drum 'n' Bass Youtube thread

^nice choice

"junglewave"?????

Looking forward to the dgoHn mix, I always liked his tracks

'drumfunk' has got to be one of the stupidest things ever, but it's a really cool mix.

You just mean the name?

This mix is super nostalgic for me, around '04 - '08 I used to listen to loads of this style, and the first tracks I made on the computer sounded a whole lot like it.

idgi

what's so bad about "drumfunk"

Yeah, just the name.

It never bothered me, although I don't think music at this tempo is "funky" per se. Maybe drumcore, or better yet...break...core?

Yeah, there's just way too many names for jungle already. I was being hyperbolic, though, nothing can be as bad as 'neurofunk'. Still. 'Drumfunk?'

Nice to hear something new school acknowledging the past without descending into Chase and Status level of shiteness

Metalhradz continuing recent strong run

Lovely loping groove on this

Not dnb but a dnb producer so putting it here. This is fucking unreal

Channeling the spirit of early Ed Rush

Oh dear too much Cabernet Sauvignon tonight

This is a great record. Peak era Wax Doctor meets Non-Amen Source Direct. Epic, widescreen and edited to fuck

Another week, another sparkling LP, this time from Skeptical on Exit

https://open.spotify.com/album/3EJbB2ggCt1RFlb3EPrrgb?si=jmsyCPyiT66OH0TQ96AFrg

New OneMind album is tremendous. Like if Photek has made an entire album of tunes like “Rings Around Saturn”.

Very sad news about longtime don and Metalheadz alumni, Spirit

This just came out last week and it’s lovely, still totally on point:

Or just add "breaks" to it. I'm really into throbby bassy breaks with a bit of a garage flex atm

Beat you to it ROLLING RAVEY BANGERS / HARDCORE 'NUUM

Aha ok. Don’t you think it’s kind of helpful to have a somewhat more descriptive title? Is the goal just to keep all discussion here safe from the prying eyes of any outsiders or maybe even newcomers?

Anyway Don I was gonna say ‘Dozy’ is tremendous! I was under the impression Need for Mirrors was just another stadium d&b act. I should pay more attention to R&S records also…I checked out Omni Music, like you said it’s a low signal to noise ratio there. The same could be said of Juno sadly, I know there is plenty of quality there if you dig for it. Too bad cause they used to have that top notch blog thing going on.

it's 95% shite

What you said. Rupture is great, all the usual suspects there…going back to 2013 tho! I’ve been so deluded for so long ;_;

Last post: if any of you are on Twitter I’d like to subscribe to your newsletter. I’m @danielviborg but mostly just shitposts tbh.

It's traditional round here to be as cryptic as possible
