and of coursse, the hardest, most controversial motherfucker to ever come out of Jacksonville -- Pat Boone 

1. Ignore blackpope, there is some good DNB on the Panacea shares thing but only a couple of tracks.

2. Mostly ignore Vondur as he is outdated, good suggestion for the time but mostly inapplicable.

3. Cancel your Ed Rush & Optical order unless you want a CD full off cheesey clownstep with wobbly basslines. However that is representative of ONE current DnB style....so...

4. Instead:

General DnB over the last few years:

Andy C - Nightlife (Ram)
Andy C - Nightlife2 (Ram)

--- both good for a varied selection of mostly energetic stuff.

(Also try: Both of the Ram Raiders Mix CDs)

Hard DnB recently:

Various - Biological Warfare (Outbreak Recs) --- generally good and raucous mix CD
Black Sun Empire - Driving Insane (BSE) --- two CDs of harder, trancier stuff, 2nd half of 2nd CD is best DnB evar.
Dom & Roland - Chronology (Moving Shadow) --- atmospheric / industrial DnB, well produced.

(Also try: Any of the recent albums on Renegade Hardware e.g. Four Elements, Paranoia, School Of Hard Knocks)

Dancefloor / jump up / clownstep:

Don't have much of this. The ER&O CD might be suitable. But also try:

3D Mode Presents: Under The Counter (DJ Hazard mix) --- energetic & raucous.
Futurebound presents: The New Generation (Infrared) --- errrr, ditto, plus the first track will blow your bollox off.

(Also, the new DJ Die album will probably be good in that style).

Mellow / atmospheric DnB:

Not really into this but there's a lot of the "liquid funk" style around at the moment. Stuff like Calibre, High Contrast, Hospital Records etc. I kinda like:

Klute - Lie Cheat and Steal --- more atmospheric and less howling vocals.

...that should do for the moment. I just need to add: "w3rd". 

DNB:

Shere Khan - Age (Petrol)
Omni Trio - Rogue Satellite (???)
3D Mode Presents: Under The Counter (3D Mode)

Hardcore:

Bonkers 2 (React)
Bonkers 10 (React)
Hixxy's Exclusive John Peel Mix (React)

Gabber:

DJ Producer - Interpretations (Rebel Scum)

Techno:

Richie Hawtin - Decks, EFX & 909 (???)
Richie Hawtin - DE9: Closer To The Edit (???)

Other:

Von Thronstahl - Imperium Internum (Coldspring)
VA - Chamber (Coldspring)


...w3rd =) 

now i'm outdated and obsolete

/me selfdeletes 

I'm sure for power-noise, black ambient, neo-industrial and evile-electronica (for example), you are as cutting edge as ever =). 

i feel better now ;)

/me restores 

evile electronica? O_O 

yeah Shambler u want to mp3 up and dcc me that Hixxy john peel mix, u know it! :) 

Daz u want to buy it, it was only �2 from HMV. Although it might have been a limited edition thing... 

I haven't cancelled it yet, but I was trying to listen to a copy at work and I see what you mean by bouncy. Also, the tracks I could be arsed listening to all sounded very similar.

To be honest, I only listened to the first 3 tracks or so, then skipped into the album a bit to see if I could chance across something that sounded cool. My crappy speakers at work are a bit broken and the bass was making them fuck up, so I just stopped listening to the album.

I put on Andy C - Nightlife instead, which I quite like, so perhaps I will buy that as opposed to Out of the Box.

. 

also http://www.younggodrecords.com has been updated , there will be 2 new released next week

I personally am looking forward to both of them alot. 

As sort of a side project or dual project between mapping, I've been working on an album since November. I finished it yesterday and now it's there for you all to enjoy.

Try to listen to it as a whole, otherwise the songs might seem to have no definite structure.

I've just download all the stuff. I still didn't find time to listen all the titles (for sure I wil and give my humble opinion...), but title 3 "Qualude Font Design" link is broken... sorry for this bad news :( 

There was a typo.

Carry on. 

Well, it's not the kind of music I'm generally listening (I'm rather used to listen Death Metal, Hard Core / Trance Techno, Pop Rock, etc..), but I found your album really interesting. It was a rather cool experience of quietness for me.... It's an ideal background music for a good diner at home with friends, or your girlfriend... Keep it up ! 

I gave that shit a try yo, I do listen to a bit of ambient stuff. This had some nice sounds in it and stuff and seemed well done but didn't really grab me much. Just my view tho, it's kinda tangential to my music tastes. 

JPL listens to hardcore, more respect to him! 

aphex twin's selected ambient works volume 2 roxors me.
