Ride The Groove



So I finally got around to it: Know Your Genre. This is going to be a feature where I give a few tunes that really sum up a lesser known genre (here at least) that's still ill. Still, as it's only a few songs, there will be a ton of others out there that you may like even more.

This post's theme? Drums 'n' Bass, which is a bit soulful with a fast backbeat. As the name suggests, it has a lot of bass, so listen with good speakers or headphones.

DRUMS 'N' BASS

Machine - Logistics
With a monster bassline, this is an adrenaline pumping song from Nu:Tone's little brother that Paul Oakenfold would probably approve of. The first of the offerings from Hospital Records in this post.

Brief Encounter - High Contrast
Tight strings and an etheral short vocal from another of Hosptial Records' best.

Hanging Rock - London Elektricity
One of the best bass drops ever, period. London Elektricity rounds out the top 3 at Hospital Records.

Hold Your Colour - Pendulum
The most recent big hit from one of the only live acts in drums 'n' bass. A bit of a rock feel combined with a good vocal. Not from Hospital Records, believe it or not.

And that random Calvin Harris remix I promised?

See The Light (Calvin Harris Vocal Mix) - The Hours
Absolutely nothing to do with drums 'n' bass, but just a feel good kind of song. Starts off a little slow, but picks up a bit once the vocal kicks in (listen through the song). As usual, Calvin Harris ends up making some wierd bits sound good.
