Alright, so yesterday I listened to ASC - The Depths of Space, as was recommended in the voting thread. I was blown away by the entire album. And then just chatted with the gentleman above about DnB, where he sent me some of his recommendations (including the EP above - Desideradi made me cream numerous times). I was even more blown away.
And I'm absolutely certain that DnB will be my go-to genre of 2024, something I'll explore and be mesmerized by it. Trance is something that less and less scratches my itch, it's become sporadic rather than the norm, and my thirst for quality music needs something new.
It's strange, I always thought DnB = dubstep, OR that it's just a random, chaotic collection of kicks, zaps and squelches with no sense behind it. But now, in fact, those seemingly chaotic and fast beats produce a completely opposite effect on me. Sort of calms me down, makes me feel entranced.
I'm just staggered by the genre - the introduction wasn't last night, as the
Lone's single or
LTJ Bukem's special were among those a year ago - but something in me clicked yesterday and I knew that was it.
