don't know what its like in other countries... but does anyone else agree d and b is getting poorer and poorer. everyone's trying to make bad-ass dirty tunes and play dark, bangin sets, Andy C stylie and its all gettin bit samey and boring! Even grooverider at global gathering was doing it! post me ya thoughts.
big up the jungle!

I disagree... I think with all the new sound and talent coming out stateside I think the world should take a listen... bigup yaself...

I also disagree...I think it's getting bigger with all the new electronic artists coming out. Concerning the quality, I guess it's up to what peoples tastes are.

I haven't heard any new drum and bass that turns me on...

dark bangin sets... hmmm so compare with Bad Company, who is darker?

"everyone's trying to make bad-ass dirty tunes and play dark, bangin sets, Andy C stylie and its all gettin bit samey and boring!"

who's darker between bad company and Andy C? can't decide both badass! Andy c is better at mixing but both produce rude tunes. nice picture by the way!

so bec, is it safe to assume that bad company is probably as dark as andy c? if that's correct, then, I probably don't think andy c is dark enough for me.

photek(two swords technique), and panacea(low profile darkness) are the kind of dark drum and bass that I like. dieselboy got some pretty aggressive sound, but too much same old same old after half way through his albums/remix albums.

i'm well into english jungle but i've never even heard of any of them! are they from the states? is it like that metally madness!

.....................but i;ll def check it out!

I am not sure if photek is from the US, but Panacea is from germany and dieselboy is from the US.

just a warning, photek switched to house music on his latest album, Solaris, so you may want to stay away from that.
