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 7 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 !

DnB Reference Class Pt 7 aka World Dominion

We are honoured to welcome our latest pilots onboard: Gentlemens Club, making their Drum & Bass debut with 'Wasted Time', featuring The Slopes.

"We’ve been obsessed with all facets of bass music ever since we started the Gentlemens Club project. We’ve made tonnes of Drum and Bass over the years and finally decided it’s time to release our first track to the world: Collaborating with The Slopes, Wasted Time truly captures our true love for Drum and Bass." - Gentlemens Club

Sometimes you just know when a promo comes through that it’s going to be good, and Document One’s productions are the pinnacle of this. We’ve already brought you their collab Heat Beams EP with Levela and a string of tasty singles, but now we’re ecstatic to present something even juicier -   Back To Me

Why should you be excited about this release? Because it’s the first track from their upcoming Coordinates project (which will be dropping in two EP parts). Get strapped in because Document One are taking you on a trip around the UK as they team up with various collaborators to create a range of hearty, energetic tunes they consider to be some of the most musically “freeing” productions they’ve worked on. Keep an eye out for more Coordinates dropping soon…

We’re huge fans of Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn over here so this one should come as no surprise. Stripped the og down to the basics and built it back up with fresh beats for an easy, jazzy roller.

Crate Classics X Pesolife 'No Negativity' [Another Rhythm Records]

Buy/stream: https://fanlink.to/VPR275

With over 57 million streams on Spotify, Bristol based Axel Boy is a force to be reckoned with amongst the underground bass music scene. Presenting a perfect crossover whilst never sacrificing this for his sound, he’s inserted himself within a variety of genres, from dubstep through to bassline, and now drum & bass through his forthcoming debut with Viper Recordings. And with nearly two decades in the game, it’s no small feat for the label and artist to join forces, once more highlighting the influence both parties have whilst dropping groundbreaking cuts onto their prospective fan bases. 

Fellow bristolian Ruth Royall links up with Axel Boy for the upcoming single ‘Oxygen’ and she's also racked up a phenomenal number of DSP streams as she’s made her presence known within the drum & bass world - something which saw her receive the best vocalist nomination at the Drum & Bass Arena Awards. Already boasting collaborations with the likes of Mollie Collins, Grafix, Pola & Bryson, Ekko & Sidetrack and her work with Paper Dragon, she makes a welcome return to the Viper roster alongside Axel Boy. 

The boundary breaking track of both artists delivers a fresh take on the Viper stamp. The fluidity between Ruth Royall’s vocals and the injection of Axel Boy’s dancefloor signature moves through their record ‘Oxygen’, highlighting the talent shown by each collaborator. They sit pride of place within the back catalog of Viper, which merges with names such as UKF, Spinnin, Armada, Buygore and more within Axel Boy’s accolades. It’s the meeting of multiple worlds and it is proudly presented by Viper Recordings, a banner which has been around within the dance music world for nearly two decades.

The depth of the forest was unknown to those who lived at its verge. Shadows cast from the dense canopy seemed to reach out towards those who passed close by, wisps of darkness unfurling and twisting around the limbs of the youngest that dared to play at its sinister edge. The oldest stories of its roots passed across the creaking voices of the town pensioners hunched in the safety of others, discretely whispered and shot through with fearful looks. The allure of that dense and ancient place stretched back eternal, and bitter consequence waited for those who breached its dark heart.  The crew ignored the nonsense of such crones, pulling the carts of equipment under the cover of dusk until the sounds of the town were but a memory. The speaker stacks were raised against the night, strings of lights hung between the trees and purity of disturbed bass rolled against the surrounding trunks as they disentangled themselves from the mundane fiber of the lives they left behind. Twisting against one another as they let flood serotonin delight, they ignited an orgy of sonic symbiosis as the rave found its wings and took flight. The spores drifted imperceptibly into the clearing from the darkness around, lodging without discomfort in the eyes, ears and noses of the gathered young. And then the screaming started, the undulating mass of the gathering turned inward… devouring itself as limbs were separated from bodies, necks ripped as skin tore loose and the blood flowed freely over the gnashing faces of those left alive at the KILL PARTY… 
  
GYDRA return to EATBRAIN in force, following up their well-received CYBORG EP with the dynamic, darkly driven but funk-laced assault of the KILL PARTY EP. From the old-school drenched piano and ultrafunk of the title track, to the playful sinister intent of PRIMITIVE INSTINCT, the filthy sub explorations of PROBLEM and the predatory sensibilities of IKRA – the 4 tracks within display the dynamic and exploratory character of the production outfit. This is Russian neurofunk at its finest, delivered on the platform that’s tailored exactly to the premiere kinetic nature of its content.

Break & Total Science - Dog's Dinner

The One (Unlovable Remix)

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.
