2016 rolling Drum & Bass / Neurofunk / Liquid / Drumstep / Etc.

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

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:
