God damn! I be droppin' crazy ill bombs right here son! One huge as you like dancefloor ROCKER from the baddest of bad bwoy dance styles : Drum & Bass! A simple process really. Thinking it was time to flip da script musically on TSID just quick. I then went on over to the top class Drum & Bass Arena website. Had a look for their current number one selling record. Original Sin - Therapy. Test run it via a Youtube clip. Confirmed : It's fierce!

Damn, for such a massive D&B record it surprises me that this is so hard (read - impossible) to find. As you can see I've not provided any purchase links below, as there was just nothing out there. Try as I might, but even I myself had to go illegal for this one! Again I feel that this is a release strictly for the headz, as it doesn't pack any immediate stand out appeal, unless of course you are the type who likes it slow burning with an undercurrent air of menace.

Strictly one for the headz this. Some super nice dark and moody D&B to take things back from the more recent upbeat sounds gracing the pages. Got little time for any more of a write-up, as I'm out sharp-ish. That does both of us a favour I reckon. Get busy!

A big thanks out to Tom for his comment on a previous Courtney Melody post that I did. Were it not for him getting involved I'd not have been turned on to this snarling D&B monster which samples Courtney Melody's superb Ninja Mi Ninja cut - originally released in 1986. I kind of mentioned that interaction was my primary goal in the About section of TSID, and well dividends have been paid!! Chuffed to bits with this I am. Proper jump-up D&B to get your weekend started.

If like me you tend to pass over on DJ mixes by artists unknown to you, then make this your one exception. I'm sure through all the dross there are a couple of diamonds out there, though the occassions are quite rare, and I'm not sure how I came into this mix, though it's an example of all that I've mentioned above - a f*ckin' banger basically. A f*ckin D&B banger at that. And it's put together by a pretty smokin' female too. Yes please!

Been looking to drop something for the best supporting readers of TSID, namely the D&B heads, and I think this 2006 track from Benny Page does the trick quite nicely. Originally I was chasing another tune from a B.Traits DJ mix from 2007, and although I couldn't quite tie up the track I was after from within the tracklisting-less set, I didn't leave empty handed as this one filled the gap in it's own kind of way. Maximum on the feel good factor here.

Bit of random buy for me this was. Literally a case of browsing through the Top Ten sales chart on the Drum & Bass Arena website, going straight in for the number one spot, and hitting the play button. Job done. Ordered! Typically I like to feature the more jump-up style of D&B, though this is liquid-funk little number does the job ooooooooohhh so well. Mixing the more laid back sound with some equally laid back vocals provided by LTJ Bukem's fav vocalist : MC Conrad.

Not got a lot to say about this 2002 D&B banger. I just want to make sure to keep bringing the TSID massive the musical wickedness that you've hopefully come to expect. Drum & Bass legend "Dillinja," behind the controls on this one... er... obviously. Just filling the space innit. As far as live dates go you're in luck! Dillinja's Valve Soundsystem is hitting the road for a series of UK dates across May. All as part of the Valve Summer Slam!

Well I promised a D&B tune, and I thought I go with what is to be the third and, hopefully, final record to have featured in the all too often mentioned DJ Noize 3 Deck Mix, that I posted a few weeks back. Anyway this is a sweet little track, and one that doesn't necessarily fire as much of my other other D&B uploads, though the drone style bass on this what it's all about for me!! "They have the power, they have the freedom!" Have a good weekend one and all!

Pulled this old DJ Mag magazine covermount cd from 1999 for the rip treatment for you today. It's only a 25min blast, though is packed with some seriously rude 90's steez D&B bass, as well as the trademark scratch effects of these two DJ mix masters. And oh my... the sub bass on the last tune : Species. Murder!

Drawing inspiration from the firin' DJ Noize - 3 Deck Mix, that I posted a while back, tonight. Definitely THE choice tune from the mix, is this 2008 release by the D&B duo Crystal Clear & Cabbie. DJ Noize did a great job mixing it up with another banger that I also went out and got, after hearing it in the mix - namely DJ Hazard's awesome "Killers Dont Die," record. Both obvious proof of the promo capabilities, of a mix, for the DJ at the controls, as well as the records he/she might spin.

I had a little rummage through my healthly collection of free magazine covermount mix cd's to see if I had any good classic albums that I could rip and share today. Unfortunately I haven't yet figured out how to rip a multi-tracked mix album into a single music file, so I am limited to what was actually released originally as a single track mix only. If anyone has any tips then please do take the time to point me in the right direction towards ripping tracked albums!!

Much thanks to the Better Never Than Late website for turning me on to this storming D&B mix by the talented DJ Noize! Originally hosted through the Drum & Bass Arena website, it did prove a major pain in the arse trying to actually get the download. Far too much admin involved!! So I've made things a little easier for any of you peeps wanting to get in on the action with a bit of Mediafire & Zshare linkage down below.

This is a great D&B rocker, though my primary reason for the upload is so that I could link the Youtube video posted below. Sent to me by a mate yesterday, and I must have watched it about 5 or so times since, complete with tears of laughter streaming down my face. Not a good look, but it's worth it. Seriously. I wont go into the details of the clip here, though ask that you rather take a look and see for yourself.

Thanks as always goes to JD Twitch of Optimo for introducing to me to soooooooooooooooo much great music, and this old skool D&B belter presented for you here today is just another of those many many many tunes . This particular track kicked off the stunning What On Earth Mix, from back in early 2005. The raggafied vocals are what stood out best, and the early 90's style D&B sound is still as sweet as ever! Plus the D&B massive were well overdue a little TSID representation! RIP, Rest in peace Pussy get a coffin then dem soon get the wreath, me bawl RIP, Rest in peace Pussy get a coffin then dem soon get the wreath, me bawl RIP, Rest in peace RIP, Rest in peace RIP, Rest in peace Pussy get a coffin then dem soon get the wreath, me bawl JUNGLIST! MP3 : Remarc - R.I.P (Mediafire) / (Zshare) Myspace

A classic D&B roller tonight. Been wanting to post this for a long while now, and it's been a few posts since we last had some electronic based stuff on here too. Plus the D&B readers give the best support to the music that get's posted here, judging by the comments. Big up your chest!

A much loved recent D&B tune for you all today. Been "rinsin," this in the car, on the home stereo and around quite a few friends houses for a while now myself, and seriously cannot get enough. Definitely it's that vocal that is best bit for me, as it gives the tune a slightly old skool kind of sound, and is accompanied, of course, by some fantastic rollin' bass! I caught this first through the top class Qemist's DJ mix, as provided by the cool, all things dance music, website - Data Transmission.

I wish that each night I could do a dance music related post. I have so many records lined up and ready to roll, though equally, I have the same lined up in my more mixed bag of alternate sounds. Hard work trying to choose, though I thought from here on I'd make each dance post come paired with a bonus track. Though kept under the strict proviso that it should be from a different category of electronic music. Lets start...

This ace Drum & Bass tune is the very first mp3 I’ve ever bought (more a cd album man myself). Heard it on a drive home from work, about a week ago, while scanning the pirate stations local to where I was. The DJ was just starting this record at the time of tuning in, and followed it up with a rewind!! “Stand by for action! We’re about to launch…. Stingray!” Love it.
