Here is the first two minutes of Eden by Lynch Kinsley, shame it fades out there, but the rest of it will probably be on YouTube or Spotify soon - https://m.soundcloud.com/chrisinperspective/lynch-kingsley-eden

neurofunk? nurofen morelike!

New Total Science EP 'Notes of Blue' is exactly what you would expect from the title. Pretty good though they seem to forget the melody when they bring the rhythmic danger and vice versa. My favourite track is probably this one:

Enjoying the new SpectraSoul EP as well:

Any love for Stray? This was good from last year

Om Unit completely rules as well:

Last thing I bought was Kabuki and Serum, "Heist Flick." The whole thing is about twice as long but I didn't want to link to Beatport or the V Recordings website, seemed kinda tacky I guess?

The b-side (if you can call it that on a digital release) is also pretty good. "Clash," by just Kabuki.

yeah om unit is my favorite

check out the a-side on this bad boy

i'm generally not too impressed with growling angry dinosaur bass noises but this "videoman" track has some great ones

some cool paranoid half step vibes on this one

The past week I've been hearing a lot of new stuff from Brazil that's been really good. Just heard this track a few minutes ago, by Urbandawn and Bungle: https://youtu.be/oz8cQhfX5SU

Plus I heard a really great bootleg remix of the Thievery Corporation's "Meu Destino" that sounded awesome. Mixing classic Brazilian tracks with dnb was a great idea and I'm glad somebody has had it.

Royalston - Jungle Gone Down (Kimyan Law remix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1WtU_EM-FI

This one is an odd mix of the kind of techstep / cutup end of dnb and st vincent / the knife style indie electro, not entirely successful, but bits of it are pretty astonishing

Rawtekk - Harbour

Another one on Medschool, this one is, um, fairly full-on

Yeah, lots of promising stuff coming out of Brazil, especially Urban Dawn - there's a lot of buzz about his new LP, should post 'Messiah Complex' on here as it seems to be the tune of the moment

So here's Urbandawn's 'Messiah Complex' - it sounds like a bit like a liquid remix of 'Doomsnight' at first, but it does go some interesting places, sort of metallic and crunchy, and sounds like it's constantly falling over itself. I'm not 100% sold on it, there's a bit too much going on for me, but it does sound sort of fresh (though also quite retro) and I'm picking up new things every time I listen to it.

I'm listening to the new Syncopix album, "Benevolence," right now and I am digging it so far. "Who You Are" is an early standout, but it's not on YouTube or Soundcloud. It samples Liam Neeson in Taken, which is kind of fun.

https://soundcloud.com/monitaskeleton/threshold-dont-ask-me-why-audio-clip

love this one, even manages to make a marley sample that couldn't be more cliched sound haunting.

Yeah, would like to hear a full version of that. Seems like a lot of jungle style amen loops this year, but with surprising sounds layered on top.

Placing this here, tho it doesn't really sound like most of what this thread is about.

Machine Girl - Gemini (2015)
https://machinegirl.bandcamp.com/album/gemini

Neon-glo hardcore breaks, reminiscent of Lone's most hyperactive stuff, or a kind of internet-age Squarepusher. Huge breath of fresh air for me this morning

Here we go. The ultimate dnb super-collab has dropped. The combined arsenal of Alix Perez, Chimpo, Fixate, Fracture, Om Unit, Sam Binga and Stray, guided by daddy D-Bridge - Richie Brains "Who is Richie Brains". Every track a winner

Finally for now, what Doc Scott says on Twitter, will be the last ever version of Shadowboxing, "unless Serrick May ever fancies having a go". Old school amen tearout business

Been a great month for the genre!!

Derrick, obviously

i like that Machine Girl

Odd one that, a vaporwave version of late 90s lounge D&B. I wasn't really that into it TBH, though I was warming to it a little by the end

RIP Tenor Fly - https://twitter.com/GROOVERIDERDJ/status/743831973769121793

This FBD Project come back tune from this year is pretty great!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9L5r6lfugw

Though not as brilliant as "She's So" or "Gesture Without Motion" obv.

Another 2 minute Soundcloud snippet of an upcoming tune I heard recently. I really like the drums on this one. Sometimes I feel like drum lines on dnb tunes are simpler these days than they were in the 90s, and then something like this comes along and it really hits the spot for a minute. And of course, it's from Brazil.

Some retro-ish lovers jungle from Seekersinternational, maybe it goes on this thread?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_jtJ25HEzY

Some atmospheric d'n'b ala Logical Progression era Bukem, Dan White - Precognitive Dreams:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1MSHfmoiTA

Really like that Seekersinternational track, good find. The Dan White is nice enough too, though seems out of place outside a club setting (suppose lots of D&B does)

A club night for new d'n'b taking off from this style - a rare thing.

Neurofunk? is it anything like Braindance? jkl;)

Om Unit (who currently can do no wrong) + DJ Krust (who never has done any wrong).

This is an chugging episodic monster...

Urbandawn just released a full-length (named Gothenburg Cluster) on Hospital Recordings. I haven't listened yet but it's high on my to-do list. I heard one track from it in a mix and it was excellent.

https://keithfullertonwhitman.bandcamp.com/

some of the tracks here remind me of Hrvatski material from the late 90s.. haven't waded through much of these KFW tapes, but heard some alternate versions of Hrvatski tracks--suppose you'd classify is as jungle/d&b-type music?

Just updated the Youtube playlist - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1fmqf9vwPIkskLHY0QdE4MHWTmijn7-3

So, I've finally gotten around to checking out the Urbandawn LP (Gothenburg Cluster) and yes, it's really good - up there in my albums of the year after a couple of listens. It's got that mix of variety and inventiveness that's generally lacking from D&B LPs. So, posting a few tracks here, why not?

This is one of a few tracks which manages to incorporate jazz without it turning into one of those godforsaken loungecore LPs from the late 90s:
