Anyone in here like Drum & Bass and how do you think it compares to Dubstep aside from the 'mainstream' aspect of it.

<3 Ed Rush & Optical, Andy C, Technical Itch, Pendulum, Black Sun Empire. I rock that shit hard in my car. I think dub step is crap. Some breakbeat stuff is aiight.
 
Spent a good chunk of my younger life raving (early 90's), and most of the raves here (Toronto/surrounding cities) were big, multiple rooms, and the music different in each. You'd usually find me in the DnB room and back then reggae/urban jungle (now called so many different fucking things) was the hottest shit for anyone who also liked hiphop.

Nowadays it's broken down into so many sub genres but back then dubstep was simply slow breaks (hiphop either slowed down 70'ish bpm or sped up to 140'ish to beatmatch a house beat), DnB was jungle, the lounge room always played ambient, Rotterdam was the shit for about an hour (I remember one dude DJ Dominic averaged like 4 passouts per set, his shit was like 180+bpm).

Here's a few oldies I LOVE: A lot more soul to it back then, now shits chopped/screwed way too much, evolving in tech but devolving in spirit imo.

I can still enjoy drum and bass - I remember buying Dr S Gachet mixtapes at Camden Market back in the 90s - but I don't really care for much of the dubstep I hear these days.
 
Used to like it in 1993-5. Then it all went dark/tech-step and I grew out of it.
LTJ Bukem- Music and Deep Blue- The Helicpoter Tune still get the occasional listen.
 
Totally... along with techno/NRG, this was the sound of my childhood:

91-92 2 Bad Mice era for me, it got way too aggressive after that. The older stuff was so much rougher without being annoying.

<3 DnB. Have gbs upon gb's lying around. Nobody around here is into DnB much at all. Nearest DnB night is 180miles away and its held on a fucking Wednesday. WEDNESDAY! Some bullshit. The whole scene here seems to revolve around electro/fidget house.
 
Love the breakdown on this one. Would fit into a prog set nicely...
