Ok one last post: this thread seems acceptable as the rolling jungle etc thread going forward, shall I petition the powers that be to change the title to "2017 AND BEYOND"? Any suggested revisions or alternatives? Is neurofunk a separate genre from drum & bass at all? I thought it was just one of many styles that emerged 1996-2002.

Yep that kind of pad sound was pretty much what I had in mind when I referred to ‘tired pad samples’. Tim Reaper / Sully / Fracture are awesome and imo bring something new using the classic hardcore continuum collection of samples. Some of the other ‘new’ jungle I have come across on Bandcamp is quite depressing in its half-assed throwing together of already caned into the ground samples / breaks / tropes. Kind of retromania at its worst and spectacularly lazy.

Agreed, I should have clarified that I meant there aren't a lot of producers making GOOD jungle right now. Haven't heard much from Fracture at ~160 bpm tho? I do like almost everything I've heard from him.

His 'Velocity EP' on 1985 is worth a listen along with virtually everything he puts out on his Astrophonica label.

Been thinking about starting a new rolling hardcore continuum thread. But for now what’s foremost in my mind and relevant is that in the past week I’ve seen two out of my all-time top 20 d&b producers posting dumb reactionary hot takes. Ffs.

I have to assume that one is Photek, but I can't see anything he's said publicly since last year...

i am strongly pro a hardcore continuum thread

No it was Dom (of & Roland fame) straight up stanning for Jordan Peterson, granted rating him in the 20 is being pretty generous. But also dBridge but that was a bit more vague, just seemingly taking a stand for the Canadian clown caravan. Photek too? Ugh.

Dog Latin I hear ya and value your thoughts friend but tbh Blu Mar Ten just posted this
I used to do a monthly podcast but stopped @ ep 30. I carried on privately making a playlist of music to be included if I ever started it again but I don't think I will, so here's that playlist for your enjoyment. Regularly updated, so shuffle & enjoy it.https://t.co/yubu0Myacj— Blu Mar Ten (@BluMarTen) February 15, 2022

I just want bangers tho. Here are some of mine, kind of in order of early doors through tear-out: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4IKIunrynAHYh1qt0SemKW?si=279cfd568a664070

I don’t even know what a banger is anymore. Thanks for the list tho.

Yeah if you check his Twatter (don't) you'll see Photek also stanning JP. Probably not the most embarrassing thing on there tbh.Ugh...

That's a shame about Photek. Never cared that much for Dom and Roland though.
Thanks for that Blu Mar Ten link above.
I'm liking a lot of the retro stuff that's about - Tim Reaper and Co, Rupture Records, even stuff on Omni who are hit and miss but seem to release 4 or 5 EPs every month. Even enjoying some of the Tik-toky pop jungle from Nia Archives and Pink Panthress.
If you want straight face melting bangers, Grid Recordings still putting out some fun stuff which I guess would be classed as jump up but done in a non-obvious anti-anthemic kind of way. Check out Yatuza, Muzo, Nick the Lot for example
Also good recently: Sl8r - Temptation, Need for Mirrors - Dozy, Blocks and Escher - This One (On R&S). Also liking Myth, Fluidity, Fanu and the always reliable Break.
I go to Junodownload new releases every Monday and it's 95% shite but dnb still produces a few gems so I can't let it go as a genre

Cheers to you!From here this actually looks like a good jumping off point for a new thread…feeling a little sleep deprived, thanks neighbors. But this is what I’ve got — I feel like I’m forgetting something:Rolling thread of the HARDCORE CONTINUUM from 2022 into the future (jungle, drum and bass, uk garage, dubstep, bass music, funky, halfstep &c)Any suggested fixes?
― recovering internet addict/shitposter (viborg), Friday, 18 February 2022 13:05 (two years ago) link
Just call it Rolling Ravey Bangers
― Urbandn hope all ye who enter here (dog latin), Friday, 18 February 2022 13:08 (two years ago) link
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?
― recovering internet addict/shitposter (viborg), Friday, 18 February 2022 13:29 (two years ago) link
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.
― recovering internet addict/shitposter (viborg), Friday, 18 February 2022 13:34 (two years ago) link
it's 95% shiteWhat you said. Rupture is great, all the usual suspects there…going back to 2013 tho! I’ve been so deluded for so long ;_;

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