Drum and Bass

[kan200]

electronic music lover :-P well m8 go here : http://www.dnb-sets.de/

an indexing spider for at least 20 forums or more where live sets are posted so u can ddl them also check out ircspy.com and search for drum and bass and then check those channels shown

Another decent link.

Older stuff is a little harder to find. If anyone can get hold of older (1990-94) drum n bass/jungle, please make your presence felt.

ah skillian that will be difficult , your best bet would be to try soulseek especially the oldskool 88-94 room but a small warning , they are mostly english blokes there who actually experienced the scence back in those days and they hate leechers , most are list only too so u do need a small collection of good stuff yourself to share to get access to them

I'm from London myself and "experienced the scene". Kinda gave up on Soulseek a while ago, maybe I'll look into it again. I have a few old tape sets converted to mp3 - I wonder if more people did that too.

thanks guys, its good to know theres some people sharing my tastes, i was starting to think i was on my own here! cheers for the links, i heard about an invite only site called trancetracker, is this any good? is it just trance?

I found loads of old jungle on kazaa a few years back, its just helpful to remember some of the names of the songs, the events or dj names.
stuff like

Origin Unknown - Valley of the Shadows
helter skelter, nicky blackmarket, dj hype, dj zinc or mickey finn will give you a fair amount of results.

Origin Unknown - Valley of the Shadows


heh, nice choice.

[kan200]

i've found quite a lot of live stuff which is cool but i've been looking for artist albums like london elekticity, adam f, simon bassline smith, metalheadz, stanton warriors ect, there proving a lot harder to find, especially the recent stuff which is weird coz i'd have thought the old stuff would be more rare

[Skillian]

Via bittorrent, oink.me.uk has a lot of newer drum n bass including most of the stuff you've listed.

Trouble is, it's an invite-only site and I don't have any invites left :( There's a thread about bittorrent invites somewhere on this forum - if you can get yourself one you'll be laughing.
