This selection is what I personally consider the pinnacle of DnB music. If your track is not listed here it doesn't necessarily mean it is not good. The problem is, there's too much awesome DnB music out there and I had to make choices. In the back of my mind, I also wanted lesser known artists and labels to be recognized. Also check out my other DnB (Reference/Master Class)playlists. Chances are high that your track is listed in one of those ;) Side note: I wouldn't be exaggerating if I would say I have scanned through aprox. 10.000 DnB tracks just to come up with these 8 Reference Class playlists ! I hope you will enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoyed making them :) Keep on smiling and keep on moving always !

Formed in February 2019, Immersed Recordings is a US-based label team that focuses on melodic and progressive house. Immersed has garnered nearly 10 million streams and support of some of the biggest DJs and radio stations such as KissFM UK, SlamFM NL, SiriusXM, Above & Beyond, Nora En Pure, and Lane 8.

In June 2022, Immersed Recordings formed the Immersed Group in order to present the brand new sister label, Suspended Sounds. After the success of GLXY’s remix of ‘Titanica’ on Immersed, the team felt it was a natural idea to expand into the drum ’n’ bass genre. The new label Suspended Sounds will focus on the DNB subgeneres of liquid and melodic dancefloor. The label will start on June 24th, 2022 with a remix of a great Immersed vocal tune by none other than Soulvent Records’ Askel & Elere.

Noppo - Promises

Entita makes his Dispatch debut with the Daily Routine EP - a four-track package that embodies his raw yet forward-thinking take on drum & bass.

Label boss Ant TC1 first connected with Entita after hearing (and supporting) an impressive LFLF EP, later meeting him in person at a Dispatch night in Prague. What followed was a long but rewarding creative process, with ideas being traded back and forth, mixes refined, and even an additional track left on the cutting room floor. The result is an EP that feels both carefully considered and brimming with energy.

The EP captures that spirit across four weighty cuts, capturing exactly that balance between the classic Dispatch DNA and his forward-facing sound. From Entita’s razor-sharp solo cut to the collaborative efforts with Serpnt, Yatuza and Furious Freaks, the EP delivers both grit and groove in equal measure. Expect rolling basslines, intricate drumwork, and that unmistakable raw funk that feels both nostalgic and refreshing.

With its mix of solo identity and collaborative chemistry, Daily Routine EP reaffirms Dispatch’s commitment to deep, timeless, raw drum & bass – and marks Entita out as a name to watch.

BEFORE EDM THERE WAS EBM 😉

I am breathing electronic music since late 70s and that's over 45 years now. From Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Yazoo, Alphaville, Men without Hats, Nitzer Ebb, Die Krupps, Front 242, Anne Clark, Camouflage, Gary Numan, OMD, Apopytygma Berzerk and even the Commodore 64 demo & break dance scene to more contemporary Electronic music artists, I witnessed the evolution of Electronic music, which basically means I am an old fart and consider myself an authority in this music genre 😵 Currently I listen DnB almost exclusively. But I do not like to restrict myself at all, enjoying flavors like Electronica, Trance, Psytrance, Tech House, Dubstep, Deep House, Future Pop, Trap, Techno, UK Bass and of course EBM/Industrial as well.

What you will find in my likes and playlists is the top of the crop in Electronic Music, I will  absolutely not list any bullshit. A track I have not listed might be just that: Bullshit, just mediocre or an artistic gem which I haven't discovered yet.
