I can't really reply to everybody's different opinions about the state of
drum
and bass because inevitably what people like all kind of different things
about it.
But as somebody who goes out every week to d+b clubs (in the us),
and spins it, i can say there is still very good D&B coming out.
But its a matter of taste in the end. Alot of flavors have died and been
replaced with other mutated forms taking strains from other forms of music
and even other forms of breakbeat (al-la the "rave" sound revival).
Personally i think in the past year and a half D&B has been better
than it was in the two years before that, but at any time, there's
going to be a crop of good tunes, and alot of rip-off or boring tunes...
for stuff that might appeal to the idm list kids -
artists - Klute, Polar, K, Teebee, John Tejada, Kemal, Stakka, Juju
labels - Certificate 18, Subtitles, Phuturo, Socio, Commercial Suicide
for new smooth, housy "dancefloor intelligent"
artists - high contrast, caliber, marcus intallex, peter k, addiction
labels - hospital, infrared, soul:r
even alot of the stuff by the bigger producers has more diverse
beats and flavors, digital, total science, john b, cause 4 concern.
I wouldn't say D&B is nearly as vital as it was in the past,
but there's still some good stuff coming out.
