Ragga/Tech D&B Question, Please help!

[firestar]

I'm looking for some choonage in what I'd guess you'd call "Ragga-Tech" genre. Tech step d&b with a ragga influence/vocals? Eg: "Mo Fire", etc.

Artists, mixes, tracks?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

[TrixX]

if it's ragga your looking for i'd talk to angst or brukout........

[C_squared]

ragga-tech!?

I guess if you want to call it that... SURE!

3 recent tunes that stand out:

Subfocus - Soundguy
Phantasy, Shodan, Uk apache - gimme da gal
ODG - Kokane RMX

[decypher]

Pendulum & raw hill cru - serial killa
sketch & code - rudeboy rebellion
that dubplate killaz track...
I think theres is quite a bit of that kinda stuff...

stuff like Breakage - staggered dub
cyantific - reincarnation dub
have more of that jungle influence.

stuff like this has more of that minimal dub sound:
chris su - undercover dub
JUJU EP

[Moon]

pendulum and rawhill - black tarantula (FUCKIN HOT SHIT!!!!)
rawhill crew - mo fire (bc and andy remixes)
aphrodite and barrington levy - all over me

[C_squared]

aphrodites mix of all over me is complete garbage.. actualy aphrodites aftershock album was complete non-sense.

[Moon]

muthafucka i think you're garbage
hahaha =p

take it ez aiight ese? =)

[C_squared]

I'm just a hater when it comes do shitty dnb...

does anyone even drop aphrodite anymore?

[Moon]

the ragga and tech sound is dope i think

hehe a couple of years ago i tried doing a mixdown with an old origin unknown track and sean paul - get busy. i think it worked alright... i'll post up a link if you wanna check that out

all i remember was watching the 'all over me music' video on Much music a few times when it was on low-rotation. Flash animation what?

such a sad video.

[**TORMENT**]

nah...



Hey, listen up kid. You want the REAL shit ( hehe), i'll gladly say fuck all those suggestions above^^ Go dig these up.


THE REDEEMER - Hardcore Owes us Money LP/CD (Position Chrome)

aka. Panacea & Dj Scud ragga techstep / breakcore DnB project. Its good, well produced, and sounds really good @ crazy volumes. Some of the smoothest Panacea style dark dnb productions on the later half of the Cd. Really well produced, like i said. I wish they'd release another full length. Rockin! This release is thee definition of what yer lookin for - dark, well produced techstep dnb & ragga soundclash blends. GOOD!

ENDUSER (Sonic Terror Recs, Dross:Tik Recs, Ad Noiseum, Mirex, Reduced Phat Records, SoothSayer Recs, OutBreak, Synaptic Plastic, tons of labels) - i'd check pretty much anything, really eclectic producer, rollin all kinds of breaks from techstep dnb, BREAKCORE, ragga jungle, industrial/grindcore metal , and atmospheric / drumfunk dnb. All over the place. One of the best. Enduser.... the machine! haha. Your future rests here. : ) www.sonicterror.net/enduser/

BONG-RA (Holland, Clash Records/Kriss Recs, Ad Noiseum, Bruchstellan Records, tons more) - another don, once again eclectic beats, pretty much known as a ragga breakcore jungle mon, but does straight up HEAVY DnB work outs. You like those little Concord Dawn / Slayer tunes? The rest of the DnB world will know when they hear Bong - Ra. ( don't just take my word for it)
http://www.jungle.demon.nl/clash.html

SUMONE & JAHBA (USA , Trinity Don Recs, Kriss Recs, Mos-Hi Recs, etc. etc. ) I'd recommend Jahba here for his DnB productions. Not afraid to squash the rules, dem. JAHBA is a definite name to watch, & IMO, is the next US name to follow Enduser on the way up, imo. Similar approach to the riddims. Crossin over all styles of jungle, breakcore, dnb, you name it. http://www.ragga-jungle.com/downloads.php?c=48


There's a hardcore label from the Czech Republic called HARDLINER RECORDS, one of my faves, that is pretty much specialising in dark techstep / ragga dnb right now, aside from the usual extreme digital hardcore / breakcore / metal / punkrock /noize mayhem. Recommended. The secret is out.. go to it. An amazingly underrated label: http://hardliner.unipex.cz/


Breakcore / dnb procuders like KRUMBLE (Peace-Off / DAMAGE Records, France) for more specialised tastes. http://www.c8.com/peaceoff/index011.html

I can recommend so much more. Don't be afraid to look outside the standard Dnb scene for good innovative Dnb music, seen? Its everywhere.

Go check out www.ragga-jungle.com and you'll see the difference. If yer lookin for the hard stuff, tons of shit to check out.

[**TORMENT**]

Shall I respond? Shall I respond?



The music will do all the talkin. That's all that needs to be said.

You should see the grin on my face right now. : )

[Wood]

^is it a 'shit-eating' grin?

[**TORMENT**]

You'll have to check your distributors... you'll see more of this stuff in your stores, on your records shop shelves soon i'm sure.


Dont' just take my word for it. I'm only a messenger.


Good tunes in that Lorcscyric mix huh? : )

[dabbler]

ummm, MY post was the response. those tunes aren't even what he's looking for, not what he is describing as "ragga-tech" (in terms of his example)

[**TORMENT**]

Uh... Have you heard that REDEEMER album? Seriously.. Theee definition of "ragga techstep" or whatever. Trust. Go check it out.


Ragga Techstep DnB.... i know what i'm talkin about.

Krumble? BONG-RA...

[dabbler]

i'm curious to know if you have all of your descriptions of each link you provide, already written out, and then just paste them, or do you write them out each time?

you saying it's similiar to "mo'fire"?

SOMEBODY has to spread the word. I believe in what I do.


And yeah, THE REDEEMER project IS a best example if any... Techstep - and a really smooth produced Panacea project btw - with Ragga soundclash elements.
Trust me.

[dabbler]

ummm. did that answer my question?

i don't usually make a point of arguing with you about your choice in music, but when you hijack threads to push a type of sound which is not what is being discussed, AND say this....

"i'll gladly say fuck all those suggestions above"


then i really do feel the need to tell you to shove it.

[**TORMENT**]

Dabbler... start listening to more dnb. : ) You'll see what i'm on about. That mix is a good place to start ^^. Techstep has everything to do with "breakcore" always has. So has ragga... Its not some alien music.


And yeah, there's alot happening in "ragga techstep dnb". I'm on topic here, arent' I?
