[quote="ashley BORG"]It's funny Dylan wasn't very happy with the set. Said it was a bit on the pussy side quote]

What did the Mike Ness look-a-like expect? That Tim will play Amen breaks with dark vocals and a reece bass for the rest of his life?

Haha fuck knows. I'll check out some new CV today, can't actually remember the set. Glad to hear he's moved off the turret machine gun style tracks

Check his 2 albums on Subsistenz Rec. ("Back to the Machine" LP from 2010 and "Stay on this Planet" LP from 2013) plus the 2 MachineCode albums ("Environments" LP and "Under the Sun" LP) to hear what he's about today.

Though it's not my music anymore i quite enjoyed these LP's for their cold,futuristic atmosphere. Would be the perfect soundtrack for some Mech-Robot-Cyborg movie stuff.

7 pages in just over 24 hour. Hmmm maybe someone should start a DnB forum

Just don't call it DOA II. Fresh will fuck you up.

So happy to come back to 5 pages (actually 6 now, ha!) of this. Reading through the replies and I've already ordered the Wipeout soundtrack for that Photek track

Good man! I love that soundtrack, listened to it so much when I was younger. Really great selection of tracks from different electronic genres but all with a common kind of futuristic/slightly post-apocalyptic feel, just like the game. Picked up a PS2 for a tenner a while back from a market up the road and ordered Wipeout 2097, not much of a one for games but I absolutely love that one, still feels fresh to me!

Look forward to listening to the stuff posted in here also. Would be cool if we could make a Youtube playlist out of it all or something...

I fucking loved Wipeout 2097, I played it to death when I was a kid with one of those twisty PS1 controllers (defcon or something?). Having a think about it last night and it's probably influenced my taste in music a lot, along with Streets of Rage. That Photek track though... fuuuck, I forgot how good it was. It will be appearing on my next DnB mix (ETA sometime in 2014).

Yeah man, it's just relentless. Love it. Look forward to hearing the mix

Was it "NegCon" or something? My mate has one, he was showing me one of the newer Wipeout's and it had this "Zone mode" where you just keep going round the same track faster and faster, but you can load in your own music from the PS3 and the track gets affected by the EQ of the track, so like bass drums cause bumps to appear in the track etc. Sounds a bit naff the way I explain it but I was well impressed

Photek and Source Direct are undisputed kings for me.

Absolute mastery of percussion.

Not one sound is superfluous to the whole.
Still sounds fresh to me as well.

Source direct.

This stuff, on a properly set up sound system, with clean low end (24`s rather than 18`s or 21`s) absolutely destroys, it remains so full now matter how you crank it.

[Planar]

Photek came out of DnB retirement a few months back with a release as Studio Pressure. One side stunk imo (terrible vocal), but the other side is pretty good:-

It's no classic, but hopefully he'll keep it up now.

Absolutely! I always rated Source Direct higher though. They captured that dark cinematic vibe I love so much like no one else then or since then. I have an old Source Direct vs Photek mix that has been on every MP3 player I've had as well as in the car for years now haha (can't find a link but can upload it if someone wants).

Since this is the production forum someone should post something dnb production related, so here we go. Great doc featuring both aforementioned artists as well as Squarepusher. The Source Direct bit is the stand out (might recognise the speech sample from Joy Orbison - Ellipsis). Should also mention Phil Source started up a new dnb label called Vampire as well as techno label called Vamptech, but not sure if the techno one ever took off. http://www.vampirerecords.co.uk/

I was speaking to phil about 2 years ago to try to get him to do something for Sin.
I tracked him down via myspace of all place
And he pointed me to the Techno side of his stuff. And erm.... Vamptech, I think his idea of techno is based on 4x4 stuff he heard in the 90`s that probably wasn`t techno. It was terribly dated sounding.
I was talking to him about doing a more fluid source direct sound over big techno beats.
I kinda lost touch with him though.

As it turns out I think it is Jamie I need to speak to, he`s the one I think that made the real meat of SD sound.

This is some modern "downtempo" D&B by dbridge, heart drive and kid drama.
