Are any of you into minimal drum 'n' bass?
If so, have you got any favourite acts?
Any personal gems from upcoming and/or small artists on soundcloud etc?
>>52922538
It's like cheap plastic mall music
>>52922538
glad I found this thread! I have been in love with minimal drum n bass for about a year, Interesting video, a shame that the drop is left out tho, truly teaser. I am not sure for which acts that are big, but I do love exit recording for minimal and music with a new take to it
>>52923862
What? How it is like mall music? Guess it is not Bethoven, but hey - it is less plastic than most chart music you would hear in a mall.
>>52923941
Yeah, guess exit was sort of the pioneer for IDM, then later also minimal kind of stuff. Speaking of Exit. have you heard the new recording that will come out next week by Skeptical? https://soundcloud.com/dbridge/sets/exit-053-skeptical-imperial-ep
>>52924077
Yeah I guess you are right. I Always think of them as minimal dnb compared to the modern jump up stuff. I liked the delusions track. Rest was almoust to energic to me somehow. The other track on Apogamys soundcloud is quite interesting. Have you Heard of Larrge? He got some nice free songs up on soundcloud
>>52924188
Really? Interesting how can you like Larrge, Apogamy and not feel the skeptical album? I do like the Nanoclips from Larrge on soundcloud, its dope!
>>52924271
well. I guess Larrge and Apogamy have some small suddle changes and are less bangers
>>52924292
They are bangers be course they are good, not be course they are noisy and bad :p
>>52924320
I don't know. the last track o the ep was to much of a bitcruched bassline and less about atmospheric content
>>52924361
k, I guess you would be more into Samurai horo and possibly cylon
>>52924418
I like Cylon, Loxy is the authority on halftime and atmospheric dnb! Have not heard of horo. can you give an example?
>>52924472
Something like this might be in your taste https://soundcloud.com/claritymusik/05-kaitain imo the whole album is great
>>52924621
Yeah that is actually pretty good. Is that Samurai horo tho? Looks like Samurai Music to me? Or is it the same?
>>52924675
Hmm.. It might actually be just "Samurai Music". It is hard to distinguish as horo is the experimental sub label
>>52924715
I see, I will check out horo then

Not sure that was what he had in is car!
>>52922538
Interesting video. I like the kind of DnB that has started to pop up with UK House vibes such as the one from Different https://soundcloud.com/diffrent/promise
>>52925162
It is spelled different, but yeah they are indeed nice! So much free tunes on their page as well.
I am monitoring this thread
I really like this style of dnb, feels much more closer to jungle than most
>>52925417
But where is the drop!? Dissapointed
>>52925509
I didn't post anything
>>52925417
It does! I really like this thread. Have you got any interesting tips? And dont mind the idiot... It is sad that dnb is so focused around when the bass kicks in nowadays.
>>52925509
Well, it is a teaser so we will not know unless we keep track of their soundcloud. But as I said Before.. it is sad that dnb is so foused around the drop... It could be so much more to it, which I Think this thread in general demonstrates very well
>>52925636
>Have you got any interesting tips
no not really, I started getting into this recently but I live in a part of Europe where dnb isn't popular and on parties it often gets lumped together with UK bass and similar music, most of which is just trash tbh
>>52925804
Ah I got what you mean. I sometimes like the chilled out dubstep, but there is so much focus on noise rather than nice atmos. I thought that Europe in general had a healthy development of sound in general
>>52922538
Not small but lovely

Have anyone else got dnb with huge dub influences or possibly dub made by dnb acts?
>>52926527
Hmm, how about Felix K stuff? The new album out on Hidden Hawaii could possibly be something for you. https://soundcloud.com/hidden-hawaii/felix-k-flowers-of-7
>>52925417
Yes and no. It is all about getting a groove in this small sub genre. On the other hand I don't hear much of the amen references in it.
>>52922538

These guys are pretty minimal. first album mostly
>>52927845
Good stuff. I have some of their stuff on vinyl, never saw them as minimal. Maybe it is just with the comparison with the new stuff that comes out in a techno vibe with stripped back drums
>>52928089
at least it is faster than techno
>>52927845
I love their morning light track
well i'm do not play D'B but perhaps you will like my new "rhythm" is a guitar experiment.

this rec came out last year and i really dug it
>>52931597
Almoust house. I do dig the vibes there
>>52931438
>https://soundcloud.com/jese345/sand-demo
Not bad, but I don't see how it is related?
>>52932345
it is VERY minimal when it comes to drums and basses ;)
>>52922538
The video reminds me of an instagram video I saw the other day. A guy recorded his DAW right before the drop and then filmed his cap, muting the track. The video OP posted was done in a less cheap way.

ASC and his label Auxiliary are great.
The music he and the artists on his label make evolved from DnB, but at this point they find it hard to still call it DnB.
It's still at 170 and extremely minimal and spacey though so you might like it.
I love it, myself.
