Everyone lucky to have a copy of this have been dropping it and doubling it up creatively with different tunes.
#Dubplate dnb update
But in the instance of this respectful update from Pola & Bryson the rules are out of the window. They say you shouldn’t tamper with the classics. Rumour has it that demand was so intense its release was pushed forward to go with the equally massive Solar System (which was also so big that crowds were singing along quite some time before the track surfaced properly online) It’s since become one of the most universally supported tunes in the genre this summer… And sets us up nicely for the also heavily-requested Illuminate which is due (hopefully) before the year is out. When a clip of this being debuted at Glastonbury came up late June everyone wanted to know what it was and who it was by. Savage, to the point and a complete, hyper-coloured subversion of the current fog horns du jour. A lesson in hair-raising tension, Siren reminds us how he got to where he is in the first place.
#Dubplate dnb full
Read the full story here.Ĭlassic Subby just when you think he’s going in one direction, he’ll flip things with a curveball. Just like Police In Helicopter, it proceeded to smash the Beatport overall number one. Demand for this reached fever pitch when videos of Andy C mixing it with Goldie’s Inner City Life surfaced after his Wembley Arena show… Then continued to rise for an entire seven months until it dropped. Preceded by Police In Helicopter, Vanta Black was on many dubplate wish-lists since Benny started playing it in spring 2018. But that’s drum & bass, though where all seasons are good seasons. Others, in drum & bass music’s longest standing tradition, will remain on dub and that’s that.Īll of them, however, absolutely bash and serve as examples of a much bigger wave happening across the genre if only half of the ID requests we’ve all been swimming in since Let It Roll and Boomtown as DJs come out then we’re in for a good season. Others have been popping all summer and are set for release very soon. Some have been out for a while but were in demand for months (and months) prior to release.

It’s all of the above and one other main factor: there’s been loads of genuinely stand-out tracks coming through in recent times. Perhaps it’s because online groups and video clips have become so popular, there’s a much bigger audience to feed this thirst for information and circulate clips of new tunes? Or that some labels have some sharp minds on their marketing teams right now? Or because everything is available at a swipe or click, it’s human nature to want what we can’t have? So when early airings of big tunes do happen we really feel the benefit of a proper build up and natural sense of anticipation? Perhaps this is down to years of piracy and leaking worries that have caused labels to send out promos closer and closer to the release, denying them natural time to develop their own momentum. There’s never a time in the genre when exclusive, unreleased tunes aren’t one of the strongest characteristics and driving forces in the genre – it’s what drum & bass and jungle culture was built on – but these last few years have definitely seen a return of longer build ups and much more high profile hype for key releases.
