Shy FX and T Power-Shake Your Body

DJ Marky-The Way

DJ Marky and XRS-LK

These are the only 3 d n b tunes I like.

Squarepusher's "Anstromm Feck" of his last album should do nicely. Aggressive.

Roni Size?

Not totally new, but it'll fit:

E-Z Rollers - RS 2000
Dom & Roland - Can't Punish Me
Aphrodite - All Over Me

New:

Anything by High Contrast ("Return of Forever" is especially lovely)

yes high contrast seconded here

The whole Shy FX/T-Power album is really pop and song-based, nothing over four minutes and all the better for it. there's a few excursions into dancehall, garage, (worth checking out, Fallacy - rah!) but there's a great track with kele le roc that Hype's been opening his set with, it's called 'Feelin' U'.

Also, has anyone heard those Teebee bootlegs of Brandy and other R&B tunes, they're so dope, a true cyborg cross-pollination of R&B and techno compared to those Girls on Top tunes.

The Patife mix of Koop's Waltz for Koop is unbelievable - true dnB bliss...btw Nebbesh those Teebee bootlegs do indeed sound dope....but where to get hold of them??

If I wasn't currently on the other side of the world I'd put my copies onto mp3 and stick it in the ILM room on Soulseek - alas, it is Christmas and I am alone without my precious things. The 12s were out about 18 months ago so record fairs may be your best hope.

worth checking Soulseek tho', there's tons of D&B there.

Urgent and key: I don't know if it was Teebee's (a lot of his are great though), but search for the jungle bootleg of Mel B's "I Want You Back" - awesome! And if you find it give it to me.

The Tru Playaz remix of Missy's "The Rain" is great too, but a bit too chilled maybe.

i always stick to Goldie's INCredible Sound of Drum and Bass comp...

anyone heard the new shy fx? didn't much like e-z rollers back THEN (but that was when i didn't really LIKED d'n'b). bad company is pretty good.

It's fairly clear to me though that E-Z Rollers basically coined the new pop-style of d&b a couple of years early with stuff like "Tough At The Top" and "Walk This Land": pop/soul vocals + hard funk vibe + very simple beats = crossover success!

The D&B pop-revival is interesting, as I have a suspicion that "Shake Ur Body" was a response to the success of "Addicted To Bass". But "Addicted To Bass" came out in Australia about 3/4 years ago as a response to the highest and final crests of d&b popularity the first time around circa '97 - eg. Roni Size and all the jungle-trip hop combos. If "Addicted To Bass" had come out in the UK at the same time as in Australia, it might have tanked on the grounds that everyone there was sick of d&b, or it might have done well but been ignored by the insular jungle community. Instead, it's lateness may have been crucial to opening up people to the possibility that d&b could be populist again.
