Your life was a mistake faggot

if we're being completely honest photek is absolute shit now and dom is still doing quality stuff

sorry, lived it. Tried listening to some of the Mo Wax stuff again too, and it did not hold up any better.

But Photek at his peak was much better than dom ever was

>some of the Mo Wax stuff again too, and it did not hold up any better
Alright you're just taking the piss now.

Trip hop aged like shit. Drum and bass, on the other hand, is timeless.

no serious. kinda liked it when it came out, but aged like shit. borderline insufferable now.

>Trip hop aged like shit. Drum and bass, on the other hand, is timeless.
feel the exact opposite way

either explain yourselves or go shitpost on reddit

This track came out in 1995 and still holds up perfectly today.

idk man. Maybe I need to throw on a Spiewak and go to a lounge and try and recapture the feel.

Couldn't even make it through 30 seconds.

Drum & Bass is grating

What was going on in the mid 90s where this was appealing?

>Couldn't even make it through 30 seconds.
You are a disgusting plebeian and you should leave this board and never come back.

timeless

I hope this is bait but the state of Sup Forums is so bad that it wouldn't surprise me if you're being serious.

>What was going on in the mid 90s where this was appealing?
Oldfag here. In the mid-to-late 90's, drum & Bass was a refuge for a certain kind of person who while they found the increasing puritanical vibe of indie rock stifling; still found the rave scene to be too hedonistic and the club scene too faggy.

It's true. Drum & Bass didn't age well.

>aged poorly
Compared to...?

True. D&B and 'illbient' where the great mistakes of the mid nineties.

speed garage

>all these DnB haters
FUCK OFF REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>mid 90s rock
>mid 90s hiphop
>mid 90s R&B
>trip-hop
>2nd wave emo


I could go on....

All of these aged like milk. DnB still sounds fresh and interesting.

DnB sounds like a grating hangover on the LES.

>I need to throw on a Spiewak and go to a lounge

Kek


It was a simpler time bros

So I guess I'm the only person on this shithole of a board who appreciates drum and bass and especially Photek.

You faggots worship your flavor of the month memerappers and gay indie bands but you call DnB a mistake.

Fuck Sup Forums I need to find a better music board

The fact the 2017 rework of Inner City Life is barely different to the original is proof enough that classic DnB hardly aged at all.

if it's aged so well, why is it never played anywhere? I live in NYC and haven't heard this shit in 15 years.

>NYC
there's your problem

Just fuck off back to your indie folk threads or r/music or wherever you come from

yeah, I don't think that's it. I'm going to go w/ 180bpm being annoying as shit.

Could you be any more of a generic cookie cutter "safe" faggot

>Goldie's timeless
>didn't age like milk
K

see

90s Tricky > entirety of DnB

Not really there used to be a trip hop night at sound factory
Don't know about it anymore

So it didn't Age with the times then

>trip hop is the same thing as drum and bass
Would you clueless faggots just get the fuck out

No one gave a shit about dnb while they did for trip hop

back in the 90s the only electronic genres in america were big beat and trance for the rave heads and trip-hop and dnb (and the fusion genre "illbient") for the """""""""""'sophisticated"""""""""""' crowd

also idm for the mallgoth crowd courtesy of trent reznor's label

>drum and bass is too "grating" for the average Sup Forumsfag
I wipe my ass with this board.

these

>I didn't even listen to the track but this track is bad
This board is a fucking joke.

And yet you're here with us .

I bet you're a Radiohead fan.

Kys

who knew the followers of a dead meme genre where so REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

What music do you like? I bet your taste is trash.

.t fag that still listens to pendulum now that they changed their name and play dubstep

I don't listen to Pendulum you drooling retard.

T. Listens to pendulum

that rework literally just made it worse

this board has basically no understanding of electronic genres and Photek turned to hot garbage immediately after the 90s

Jungle is just so much worse than house and techno

>Photek turned to hot garbage immediately after the 90s
But that doesn't undo all the great music he made in the 90s.

And a few of his more recent tracks are not bad.

House is trash. Literally just plebified techno for normies.

Music with an actual feel that you can dance to isn't a bad thing

Of course a fan of Photek and the rest wouldn't get that.
>muh jazzy breaks

youtube.com/watch?v=DYsY4wYMQe8

jungle is underrated on mu and that shouldnt happen

You can dance to techno and it is superior to house in every way.

youtube.com/watch?v=dMd79E0PVhg

Not really. Techno doesn't have the funky groove of house.

House is for Chad and Stacy. Techno is the thinking man's dance music.

>implying Photek isn't top tier head bobbing core

Baka

Damn. First time I see a Photek thread on Sup Forums.

Don't worry OP I love D&B as well but this board was never the place to discuss it. Too few of us around here.

Anyways, Photek did make some of the genre's greatest tracks. It's a shame that he ran out of ideas for others. 'Rings Around Saturn', 'UFO' and 'KJZ' are masterpieces.

God damn you are a pleb. Take a listen to dimension or roni size or bad company or even mefjus


>Tfw I like DnB
>Tfw nobody likes current Shit
>But this came out

>Pendulum
>They now make Dubstep
>It's all for shits and giggles
>It actually gained attention
>People actually LIKED that music
>Tfw rob swire looks dead inside now

Knife party was a mistake

So this whole thread is "your favourite genre aged like milk" no, "your favourite genre aged like milk" without any actual arguments. Great job.

DnB still has its refinement and has so many variations of it. The problem with other things is that you get very little variation unless they know how to switch their styles

Photek is like current value, but photek has more melody to him then current value

this

old skool jungle with reggae/dancehall influences is great

d'n'b that came after it was formulaic shit. Especially when mixed with jazz

>old skool jungle with reggae/dancehall influences
ew

intelligent jungle >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ragga shite

What's the difference between this "intelligent"/non raga jungle and drum and bass?

When you take the reggae/dancehall out of jungle, isn't that literally what drum and bass is

One is able to be skilled and varied, and the other is total shite

Would early Photek be considered jungle or DnB

Id say both, but more jungle. If you want DnB, it's stuff like origin unknown and shimon and bad company's first few releases

Bump

>dnb is bad!
>has anyone else heard the new Father John Misty LP?

This to be perfectly frank.

Indiefags are cancer.

>DnB is great!
>*Posts pendulum-Immersion

You're the only one in this thread who keeps talking about Pendulum.
