< interesting thread.. although i completely disagree
with the comments that everyone is making the same
style of dnb nowadays. >
I don't think anyone said every Single artist is
making the same style, but a significantly huge
portion of the scene has been jumping on the same
trends..and few artists have a distinct sound anymore.
<surely to prove that theory wrong all you have to do
is listen to some of it! >
I don't hear much variety, like i use to.
< i find the popular skittery techno dnb pretty boring
(bc, konflict and the like) >
I agree totally with that comment.
< and sure a lot of this is being made but there are
the other styles people have mentioned: >
< -the minimal teebee / polar style (which sounds like
a new take on photek's style to me) >
I think Teebee's is too influenced by the UK scene. He
use to be pretty good, but I don't rate his newer
stuff very highly. His first album is worth picking up
and so are his older singles...
Polar is definitely one of the best people still
producing dnb, but he's no Photek. Photek always had
really great breaks, Polar's are usually pretty
dull...but he makes up for it in melodies
< -paradox' crazy beat construction (he's got his own
category) >
He makes good breaks
< -rave shit (total science and the like) >
Agreed
< -digital is the king of dubby drum & bass... check
out session on function records >
I was way into Digital for a while, but all his tunes
sounded too similar....and I became bored of his work.
I think the current state for the last year (+) of dnb
is exactly why no one has been talking about it on Idm.
