This one is the ripest of all sci-fi-D&B cheese, delicious

not into any of this stuff you all are posting ... production is too clean, everything sounds super loud and clear, it all sounds like demo track that might come with a new bass synth software or a drum sample pack or something

this is more my speed

^ For a minute I was thinking that was quite pleasant but slightly familiar. Then I realised the rhythm track and swoopy noises are just a straight lift from"The Mystics" by PFM. From 1995.

Sadly, Mark Goodings of Hidden Agenda, the awesome rare groove sampling Metalheadz mid 90s outfit died a few weeks ago.

This is out today and nicely channels their style...

is it? i just gave "the mystics" a quick listen and i don't hear it ... maybe i missed the part you're talking about

though of course i concede the larger point, "juice it" is shameless 90s liquid d&b revivalism

speaking of PFM ("progressive future music"!) i have been listening to this comp for the past few days

it was so much better in the 90s

i heard about mark goodings. really sad news. hidden agenda were always so underrated.

that dub phizix track reminds me that they managed the only good track on the ill fated metalheadz 03 comp (i think that was the point when i realized it was over for metalheadz)

that dub phizix track is really cool, maybe i should pick up that dub phizix fabriclive mix i was talking about upthread

i will also allow that the om unit + krust track you posted was pretty cool

this masterpiece was my favorite hidden agenda track

As it's the festive period why not post this here?

I was thinking about doing a short poll of the year if people are interested, but then I thought nah, they're probably not.

I would have had an uninformed ballot in said poll but eh

Came here to post: http://www.igiveyougive.org/Gift/50/foreign-concept/music-for-aleppo
Some nice dnb supporting Doctors Without Borders. Eight tracks for $4 if you play your cards right, and all proceeds go to a good cause.

^ Ah yes "Progressive Future Music". Terrible name (of it's time, rather like the Storm from the East compilation although I don't backlash that stuff as much as some e.g. Simon Reynolds) but some legendary tracks ("Cruising Detroit", "Danny's Song" and of course "The Western")

I recall once seeing an FBD Project 12" in Fopp, Glasgow on which the store assistant had written out FBD as "Future Beyond Dance". However I had read in the mid 90s rave fanzine Eternity that it actually stood for "Funded by Drugs" because Neil Trix has sold weed to buy his studio. Neil confirmed this was correct many years later when I enquired on Twitter.

In tribute then, I shall post this stone cold classic:
