I want to go raving with the assistance of MDs.
But the question is- jungle or house?

In my younger days it would have been jungle. Now that I am ancient, I prefer house.

What's it to be?

dubstep, obvs

Oh actually, this.
Get off your face, find some proper beat-driven dubstep and dance your face off. Fuck, my town is shit.

I've heard dubstep through a system plenty of times, and it's too slow for raving purposes.
Plus, honkies skanking is fucking wack.

JUNGLE totally, don't fuck with that 4/4 vibe, get your amen on and where's your head at?

(NoeI «:::P:::» «:::E:::» «:::R:::» «:::V:::» «:::E:::», Wed 16 Nov 2011, 20:59, Reply)

i believe jungle is mostly in 4/4, too
isn't it?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 21:00, Reply)

Not 4/4 as in four to the floor, which is what house is.
A straight four beats in the bar, with four kicks. Take out the third kick and you have nu skool breaks.

Jungle may be 4/4 time but it's not four to the floor.

I can illustrate with links if need be.

i see
so basically it's like the stuff that annoys me in the gym vs the stuff I quite like but know nothing about
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 21:10, Reply)

What's the stuff that you quite like?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 21:12, Reply)

hard to say,
in my head it's kinda dance-y (although I know that will rile you), but with a less annoying incessant beat (which I now know to refer to as 'four to the floor' when talking to 'the kids')
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 21:14, Reply)

Dancey is perfectly acceptable.
So you quite like decent house? The thing with house is that there is so much drivel that gets pushed out by Ministry of Sound and Pacha and that, when there is so much quality underground shit that is so much better.

Fair enough.
What do you think of this one?

When it 'came out' I fucking loved it. I was obsessed. Muscular, yet screamingly camp. The polar opposite of me.

Fcuking hell.
Never thought Anthony and the Johnsons would be made into a dance track.
( girlinthehole, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 21:27, Reply)

They haven't.
Hercules & Love Affair asked Antony to sing on some tracks. It worked so fucking well though, amirite?

And the Frankie Knuckles remix is even more quendacious than the original.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 21:28, Reply)

Love Antony but I don't like this track.

Madness.
His work with Hercules & Love Affair was superb.

You what?
That Onionz & Joeski tune is the one that made me change my mind about house.

The Roni Size one is nearly 15 years old now. Live drumming and double bass on that one too.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 21:14, Reply)

yeah?
well my band has about 3 live double bass and sometimes a drummer
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 21:16, Reply)

Yeah but your band doesn't play drum n' bass.
And could your drummer play at 180 bpm?
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 21:19, Reply)

I don't think that would work on kettle drums

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 21:22, Reply)

Probably not.
The drummer in Reprazent also played drums for Portishead at the time, and these days he plays for Robert Plant in Strange Sensation.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 21:36, Reply)

You summed it up so succinctly, clearly and to the point.
The timescale of the references is of no importance.
It made sense to me and I commented thusly.
You what?
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Wed 16 Nov 2011, 21:21, Reply)

Indeed.
DnB/Jungle and to a lesser extent, breaks (but not tech funk) are all about the basslines and the snaredrums.

House, techno and the housier end of breakbeat (tech funk especially) is all about the kickdrums.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 21:25, Reply)

I'm all about pianos and strong vocals.

If you like, you can imagine me spitting some mad rhymes over it if you insist on strong vocals.
