i've been a bit IDM'd out lately...and i'm always a sucker for some good drum and bass.

anyone have any suggestions on some excellent artists to check out? i prefer complex patterns, very technical, a little heavy. some shit really sucks...i find it hard to weed thru all the crap.

i've been tuning into bassdrive live shows and really like what's coming from the UK lately...it's fast, heavy, crazy shit.

i hear a lot about teebee, black sun empire, dillinja, and technical itch...but i really don't know artists very well.

any help would be great. thanks in advance.

black sun empire, calyx, concrod dawn, panacea, drumsound & simon bassline smith, ed rush & optical, high contrast, tech itch, breakage, dj hype, hatiras, subwave, cyantific, london elektricity, nu tone, zync, calibre, ill logic and raf, sappo, rawkus...and enduser

illform and dieselboy have some pretty badass stuff.

for the love of god, you said dieselboy. You're nuts boy! You wanna get NUTS, let's get NUTS!

yeah it seems everyone likes to hate on dieselboy.

i don't really care, if it weren't for him, i wouldn't have been introduced to drum and bass anyway. and i still really enjoy his records...97 octane and system upgrade specifically.

Pendulum!

ha, it's funny i heard tarantula before...big time song in the scene. actually tonight i heard something on KISS radio from UK talking about a song playing that had MC spida (from trantula fame) MC'ing during the song. sounded like shit. i guess he was just lucky yo check it:

boh! boh! big up ya chess! wicked response yo! holy crap, enough of the colloquialisms! i'm with josh on the dieselboy shit as well...never found it very interesting. YO!!! the crowd say BO SELECTA!!! jesus, i must be crazy bout the jungle lately....cant stop. thanks underscore dude, excellent suggestions.

btw, listening to aaltopiiri right now cuz it's WICKED late...and enjoying it greatly. i think that pan sonic takes a bit of getting used to. but i'm warming up to its simplicity.

one more thing...sorry for being so random, anyone heard much of an artist called FAX? ran into some song a bit ago and liked it, but know nothing about him: http://www.discogs.com/artist/fax

fax is mexican, he remixed ulysses for murcof. i like some of his traks a lot.

Idioma on interdisco netlabel is pretty good.

Fax bores me. I tried 'ruido de fondo' and just couldn't get into it.

yeah dieselboy got me into dnb (kinda). There are crazier and better artists out there but dieselboy isnt that bad at all imo.
