break.

production is next level.

been in record shop a few times and played his stuff and had non-jungle heads ask "who made this mate..."
then they start waffling on in some strang binary language about compression and reverb and stuff i dont understand.

i just think his stuff, if you dig deep enough always has a controlled power and swing.

him, breakage, fanu & calibre are about it for me since i turned to the dubside.

yep cant forget the mighty d-bridge.

whens he gonna turn it out again like he did with true romance?

had a interview with him where he said when he makes tunes he tries to make "agressive beauty"!!! good ethos

^ weston did a skank, and each man laugh, feelin irie, dread i :D

limewax is making the best dnb at the moment in my opinion. the standard jump up shit that most people are making doesn't do it for me. even black sun empire (which i used to have so much respect for) are churning out shit that sounds the same as their last releases. i think dnb has had its day :(

I can see a renaissance period with Dnb, taking back the aesthetic of the Jungle days, and what dubstep is currently (or was 2005 era). People like Lomax, Commix, Breakage and Lynx are making minimal but bassy tunes.

Breakage, Fanu, Macc, Fracture & Neptune, Sileni, Martsman all spring to mind.

I'll be checking out Break too after reading this.

craggz & parallel forces

the hospital stuff is good, well produced, but all of quite a limited scope

i think d'n'b needs to go back to basics, if for no other reason than to bring a bit of creativity to the genre and get away from all the one-man-band labels just layering breaks and crowding the scene!

oh and high contrast for his composition, but sometimes he gets a bit fluffy on it for me.

angels and fly was one of the most legendary tunes ever to be produced tho still.

If We Ever and Ghost of the Jungle Past of his new album 'Tough Guys Don't Dance' are nice as well

like the new production with junglist feeling

Got Commix new album the other day its pretty amazing bit weird though, quite experimental in my opinion.

hospital guys are the only ones listenable anymore...i seriously question if the stuff comin out from freak/human and the darker labels is even music anymore, it sounds like a car alarm beatmatched to a broken drum machine 99% of the time these days

Fracture and Neptune?

Martsman?

Fanu?

Although I guess F&N and Martsman have both got records on Med School so your point kind of stands... didn't know about that before I looked up their myspace pages...
