I’m more than a bit interested, at the moment, in DnB, but I’m a noob. Other than some Goldie and Photek I don’t know where else to start.
I really don’t want to get bogged down in ‘dancey’ stuff,
or ‘rappy’ nonsense.
I realise I’m 20 years too late, but someone must be not this stuff, or maybe were, in the past.
Suggestions?

Re: Drum n Bass
The Soul Jazz Rumble in the Jungle comp was an essential primer, but that's difficult to get hold of these days. I don't think there was all that much proper jungle, as it happens, it was a very short-lived scene, though there is the more recent darkstep thing which sometimes harks back to the toasting and amen breaks.

BIDNESS! Bo!

Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Re: Drum n Bass
Try the LTJ Bukem Logical Progression stuff. Very spacey and jazzy in places. Was quite influential and a good place to start.
Don't let DF's picks put you off ( the first one doesn't even fit the genre).
