What got u into DnB?

[eggystardust]

For me, I was on my way to a rave and while getting gas before hitting the freeway, we ran into an old friend who gave us an upbeats mix cd. And here I am....

the upbeats are so fuckin' sick! let me just clarify that first.

but for me... it was how sweet it is in 2006 i was listening to DJ ZINC, i seriously just stood there in one spot the whole time he was up there selecting just dancing and having a great ol' time.

i've never strayed since then....granted, i like electroclash more than drum and bass, and i always have loved electroclash the most, you just never see that at raves, only clubs and in my car... except when felix da housecat plays Monster.

SS lighta, Shy FX original Nuttah, LTJ progression sessions. My boy got me into it in the late nineties or so. Loved it ever since.

vinyl syndicate and andy c

[Ridiculous Nicholas]

DJ Trace, Nico, Ed Rush and Optical's Torque circa 97, Dieselboys Drum & Bass sessions USA '96 when he still spun jump up, when most of you kids were in elementary school.

^^lol...wow that's kind of harsh.

I got into it like in 93 when it was still primarily "hardcore techno breaks". DJ Hype, 2 Bad Mice, Foul Play, really early/old stuff. Now I'm into the really techy sounding stuff. I guess some of my newer influences would be Black Sun Empire and Vector Burn.

I was into dnb before I was into dnb! It was weird -- I came from a rock and metal background, and I was always into bass guitar and drums. I've always had music in my head, since I was a little kid. Eventually I heard the Dieselboy side of East Coast Science and it opened up the whole world of EDM to me. :-)

Mainly just from a hip-hop vandal to going to a few raves.....My first few fav's were Photek, Freeky Flow, Sub Focus, and definatly watching MCMC perform is what has shaped me into a junglist today!

Roni Size-brown paper bag in late 97.

[daved]

some kid gave me a "techno" mix that he made back when i was in like 9th grade... one of the songs was some atmospheric shit. he told me it was called "drummin bass"

i then discovered aphrodite, dieselboy,, and more of taht main stream bullshit, and the rest is historia

When I got into the raving scene, I was studying in England and went all over the place to hot clubs to hear famous DJ's spin. My best friend lived in Bristol, where drum n bass originated from, and I went to visit her a couple of times. She took me to all these drum n bass nights, I heard a few wicked DJ's and I was hooked. The DnB scene in Bristol is wicked.

But I find I have to really be in the mood, have enough energy and usually drop to get into DnB and have a hardcore dancing session.

For me,

I got this one cd in the mail off of mixmag... it was a 2 part set... mikey finn & aphrodite.... i never listened to trance ever again
