Discovering DnB

Posted by MaartenC - April 22nd, 2012


First of all, small talk is allowed in this post, feel free to.

Okay, now onto the news post, I'll get straight to the point.

Thanks to NL-Courage, I've been digging further than I ever had into the genre 'Drum and Bass'. I had never been further than Pendulum and some of ParagonX9's uploads, but now I'm discovering a whole new world.

I'm still not too fond of every song, but I'm rapidly growing extremely tolerant of the genre. I've been looking into several sub-genres of DnB, and I must say that I'm quite surprised how fucking wide it is.

I'm going to discover (hopefully) a whole lot of new songs, so if anyone has a bit of experience (yes Chris, you may respond) in listening to it, please recommend me great tracks.

Anyway, I'm currently mixing a lot of tracks, I'm close to my 40th mix already, with over 30 hours of awesomeness. I'm making slow, but steady progress with my novel (fixed chapter one... again lol) and I'm remixing a lot of loose songs.

Thanks to NL-Courage I'm getting my motivation and inspiration back, so this is also a 'thank you post'. So yeah... thanks :D

LOL, I'm more into Video Game songs mixed with D&B lately. :P
Good to hear about your recovering inspiration. Make it challanging!
But you KNOW: my inspiration far exceeds yours. >:3

So your inspiration exceeds mine? Big deal, wanna fight about it?

Nah, anyway no recommendations from you?

LOL, you jelly of my massive amount of inspiration? >:3

Anyway, a recommendation for you is to make an original track (speed at least 160 bmps). I don't think you'll be able to manage that.

Of course, more inspiration = more fun

Anyway, thank you for the massive amounts of confidence, not. I'll be remixing for a while, just doing what is fun. Eventually I'll be making original tracks.

But with recommendations I meant songs that you like and provide a link.

I don't know much about DnB, so sorry about that. I do know that the best are here:

<a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/browse/genre/drum-n-bass">http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/browse/genre/d rum-n-bass</a>

Thanks. I've been diggin' there too ^^

Life is bullshit. Don't you agree?

Sometimes, yes.

Golly, you're jolly.

well, how about the drawing side, then?

Also working on that. Unfortunately my last drawing kinda failed. The woman I was drawing looked squint :P

That's great! Keep it up man! :D
Also DnB is awesome, especially with dubstep(for me)!

Hm... I've been checking dubsteb, again, at Monday... I must say. I still hate it :\ I just can't get used to it...

Anyway, I will keep on going. My holliday's next week, so I hope by then I can spend hours on productiveness... Or sleeping :P

@Jonah: NO! DUPSTEP IS THE WORST GERNE I HAVE EVER LISTENED TO!

I'm deadly honest.

Sigh... It counts pretty much the same for me. It's worse to me than hip-hop and rap combined.

Though I'm probably slightly more tolerant than Chris here :P

Cool new "fan" feature!
It seems like if you post at other people's newspost, you will become their fan! :D

orly? Cool.

Lol nvm, I see your post above.

No it's the heart icon...
ADD ME! :3

K.

(Illegal text)

i really dont get what "illegal text" means...

It means that my message was too short.

you are bronze again!

Yessir! You'll have to get to bronze soon, too :D

\=(

>_>

wow, just noticed, you're not scouted;
you have a scouter ready?
If you don't, just PM me when you have enough artwork and I will give a scout :P
Your art really is worth of scouting :3

Thanks. I think some people recommended me, though I'm not scouted indeed.

I'm working on something new, it's almost done, so in about a week a new (simple) piece will be online.

Y U NO READ MY NEW STORY.

I FCKING READ IT

I COULND'T READ IT BECAUSE NO INTARWEBZ, U REMBR?

YOU MUTHERFACKING MUST GET INTARWEBZ, NET IS VITAL MAN, NO INTARNAT NO LIFE, BITCH.

I JUST GOT MAH INTARWEBZ BAK.

How did you make that icon of yours?

A lot of effects with photoshop, though they discovered that my version wasn't entirely legal, so it's removed. This icon is the only thing that I made with it :\

kk, PM me when you finish this piece of art I want to see it :)

Okay. I only have to enhance a few lines, and I'm still doubting whether to add colors. Maybe just a few subtle ones...

nvm I'm thinking out loud :P

thinking out loud is a problem for me :P
I, too think out loud, maybe even too often.
sometimes I just mumble when thinking, and people just either hear wrong, making the situation embarrassing, or think that I am talking to them x_x

Ah well, it's better than suppressing it, right?

well, it depends;
there are some occations when I just wish I could stfu rather than think out loud XD

True, but remember: bad decisions and embarrassing moments make good stories.
