30 years of V recordings with Bryan gee, dillinja, die and JJ frost will be incredible - firmly rooted on Friday

 

LTJ bukem at iicon on Saturday. Mala is on before if you want to catch some decent dubstep.

 

Thursday at the temple basically all day although I'd avoid going earlier. Bou b2b hedex is a crush waiting to happen, turn up at 11pm for born on road. 

 

Thursday at the glade dome 

 

Randall is going to be playing a set somewhere 

 

There is tonnes 

 

 

Pretty keen for this but thinking the crowds may mean otherwise

They are not really my thing tbh but I know they are huge with the younger crowds. I'd expect you would need to arrive very early to have a chance of getting in!

Which DnB artist is most likely to play some Bass House or similar vibes?

 

 

[Detective McNulty]

It's f**king everywhere in the SE corner and ruins it a bit for me. sh*t music everywhere you turn in another wise thrilling part of the festival 

[uscore]

Can anyone recommend some good not DnB on after hours?  I like stuff like Bicep

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

For the foundation: Randall, LTJ, Dillinja, Jumping Jack Frost, Bryan Gee, Die

For the new-breed: Bou, Turno, Hedex, T>I, Kanine

Where's Skeppy playing? Not come across him on the line up yet.

Nowhere stage, Thursday 23:10 - 00:05, shame it's not a longer set. Seems specifically odd timing on the app.

Walking round SEC with my mate last year, dragging me into wall to wall DnB. Give it some bloody variety!

the problem with a lot of Drum and Bass these days is that it isn't Drum and Bass

Come on you're better than that Skip. I had every Hysteria, Helter Skelter, Dreamscape etc tape pack I could get my hands on in the 90s too (I was too young to go to 'legal' events like some of you older folk. 😛)  And I still like the classics now. But technology has come a long way since the S1000, so has Drum & Bass, and it's modern sub genres. The new stuff is great in it's own right, and it's keeping the genre alive. Personally I can't get enough of it. 

Save the 'in my day' stuff for the grandkids. 😉

I literally couldn't get into any of the D&B sets I wanted to see last year without queueing ages, and I was told to never queue on here (I regret that now) so I went and found other stuff. Lots of house, trance etc, that I could just walk straight into. Probably explains why the high proportion of D&B currently, the genre has been experiencing a huge mainstream renaissance for a while now. 

But if you're not a fan of D&B... The popularity of people like Fred, Four Tet, Bicep and Skrillex are making other dance genres very mainstream right now. That will surely force more of a balance in the future? I think Fred and Four Tet's sets are going to be packed with youngsters. 21 year old lad I know who is going for the first time (not with us) mentioned those 2 as his must see sets first. (Yeh I know, sample size of 1, but you get my point. 🙈😂)

Listening to Drum & Bass show on Radio 1 - there are some quality tunes out there right now, a true renaissance.

I'm getting very exited !

Saw Venbee at Splendour a couple of weeks back, just before Rudimental, they were great, and Rudimental bought them out again during their set too.

I went to those Hysteria, Helter Skelter, Dreamscapes.

Those were magnificent days.

Drum and Bass on a Bike has gone European.

This one is in Dortmund.

Words evade me.

Who'd uh thought.

 

[bamber]

This is Mickey Finn & Randall on the ones and twos at one of the Dreamscapes.

Imagine being there!

Was genuinely a really tough decision to go to Elton, the only thing that solved the clash and finialised the decision to go to Elton was that we were seeing Rudimental, and Venbee, on the same stage and day at Splendour Festival a few weeks later. That Rudimental set at Splendour is still in my top 5 sets of 4 festivals this year!!! Rubbish weather, tiny festival, but they ALWAYS bring the party, I bet their Glasto set was great fun to be at, regardless of crowd size!!!
