Enchanted Forest 5

i guess... lynton for one always prides himself on being able to pick d&b people at 20 paces. he's pretty good at it, too. I guess it's hard not to generalise, but d&b does attract all sorts...

I think the dnb crowd in Adelaide is very cliquey and it's hard to go to an event and not feel out of place if you're a new comer...

that's what a lot of people have said to me...

But they do seem to be more accepting than the "average" raver...

I think the whole of Adelaide is very cliquey and it's hard to go to anywhere and not feel out of place if you're a new comer...

Yes it does attract a different element... the good element!

Too soft? SOFT? That does not compute... nothing's as hard and dark as DnB!

Maybe it's just you who is too awkward and soft? :)

Fear the junglists X( :lol:

I only like *some* DnB but dont know what genre it is therefore cant buy it:meh:

Big up Miffy!

You need to check out http://adnb.terminus.cc ;)

I was under the impression Hardcore is harder and darker then DnB :)

As mentioned in another thread, seems that Hardhouse/hardcore is officially dead! Just that you and I don't know it yet;)

Not much of a fan of DnB except that LK (Carolina Carol Bela) tune from The Brazillian Job by DJ Marky - ultimate cruisin tune!!

Anything on the Dj Marky CD I love.
Jazzy, smoothy, funky drum & bass. mmm

I dont think Hard House or Hardcore is dead, and its up to no one to declare it dead, thats just silly propaganda.

Beekayz checks for a pulse on hardcore.
Sorry Dr I think we've lost him ;)
While Hard House is still alive and well, hardcore is really just a novelty that people enjoy a few times a year at events but few people would want to hear every week (in my opinion)
Am I in your bad books again Sixer or are you going to agree with me for the 2nd time in one day? ;)

awkward? yeah, some people dont get break beats, they have no sense of rhythym and rely on a doof doof doof to tell em when to dance (or mix). hahahaha;D ;D ;D

show me any other style of music that has the same scope of variation in the one genre - atmospherics, dark evil shit, jazzy & funky to plain ol party jump up - and all potentially in the same set?!!!
awaiting the flames... (for no good reason)
hope yall can take a poke of fun (specially you sixer <cough cough> OD <cough>)

I listen to hardcore through the week at home and i love events that play hardcore! So, it aint dead yet man, and Rob Gee is gonna prove that this weekend.

How about house music?
tribal house, funky house, soulful house, progressive house...all of which can be played in the same set if it is done properly

couldn't have said it better myself;D

I have never ever heard any house that can be as dark and as evil as some of the drum and bass I have heard.

not that you're biased or anything :p

Pretty much any style of music can incorporate these things, it just depends on how creative the producers are.

I have some pretty dark and evil sounding trance at home.

Beekayz and Sixer mentioned in one of the other threads Hard house is becoming funkier / techier.... so like I said......peoples creativity is the only limit. :)

For example Cygnus X's 'The Orange Theme' with the Clockwork Orange music.

Bingo.:)

i'll go with khem on this one .. there's is no way you could compare the orange theme with half of the dark d&b about .. listen to some panacea or tech itch ..

and i find the orange theme uplifting

You would!

well here's an easy way .. let's let everyone here

This isn't the original orange theme it's a hard trance rmx but it's still the same riff

listen here (http://www.bangingtunes.com/play.asp?ItemID=MOHAWK23&Side=A)

I think it's uplifting .. certainly not a dark as fuck monster :tripping:

It's very different to the original though. Same melody but the feel of the track is completely different. Not saying that I disagree with you saying it's not dark as a muthafuka but the orange theme wasn't the exact track I had in mind when I was talking about dark and evil sounding trance..... (although I do think the original is pretty dark and evil).

Firstly, not only is this a bad remix but it is cheesy as all hell and hardly comparable to the original! Completely taken the edge off it.

Secondly, the reason that people listen to music isn't to get depressed or feel morbid (unless you're a goth) ;)
It's to feel good and be inspired!
It doesn't matter haw dark or evil a tune is, if it is in a style that you love you will find it uplifting.
Take Lamb's 'Gorecki' for example or much of Massive Attacks back catalogue. This is as downtempo a tune as you can get. However, despite the fact it is bittersweet, for the millions of peiople who love it they will find it enormously uplifting.

edit: & what Aaron said ;D

Really ? I thought different ppl listened to music for different reasons .. you learn something new every day:P

Dance music (in particular hard house and funky house) rox because its uplifting and happy and makes me wanna dance:D However, if I am in a bad mood I dont wanna listen to happy-la-la music so crank up Tool:meh:

Im the queen of cheese and thought that track was sweet;)

if you are looking for dark, why don't you listen to some real music?
Mmmm.... (www.breakbeat.co.uk)
