JAYLINE - BIG BUSINESSMAN EP

JAYLINE BRINGS THE FIRE!!!!!

 Anyone who was at Innovation in the Sun this year would have heard Jayline showcase his new tune 'Willow' which sent ravers mental at the Bangers & Splash pool party when dropped by DJ Chunky Bizzle!

Jayline has included this on his new EP and this track itself has quickly become a modern classic of the Jump up DnB genre!

Alongside this banger is the DJ Ruffstuff-supported tune 'I don't rate it' featuring AC MC on the intro vocal, with a hook about achieving respect in a cut-throat world. With a big bassline and swinging beat, this banger has been getting the reloads whenever dropped in a dance.

GPS features on the title track 'Big Businessman' which is a thoughtful bassline roller, while  Silent Storm features on the bouncy 'The Cleaner' which has a jazzy intro and then a deep, threatening bassline which compliments the theme of tune (the Cleaner is an assassin in the film La Femme Nikita and the hollywood version starring Bridget Fonda called The Assassin).

'Chicken Press' features AC MC again, talking about trying to leave the venue with a woman, and begins with ominous orchestral flourishes, leading into a satisfying deep bassline roller. This deep bass theme is carried on into the last track 'What's gonna happen?' which features the haunting vocal of a woman wondering what is wrong with her son/man/dad and is a nice way to end the EP.

Soundbully Audio is going from strength to strength and Jayline has done it again, providing dancefloor and MC friendly bangers, coupled with deeper rollers for the drive home after the rave. We look forward to his forthcoming album on the Biological Beats label!

Drum n Bass

 Drum n Bass



Drum n bass is an underground form of music that has proudly stayed that way, although a few artists have enjoyed mainstream chart success.  To many ravers it is the last credible underground music left! From Jungle to Liquid to Neuro Funk to Jump Up, Drum n Bass is still a force to be reckoned with, even after certain short-sighted media pundits tried to destroy it in the late 1990s. Drum n Bass will never die!

On this blog we will showcase the newest tracks from established and upcoming artists, free download mixes from soundcloud and dnbshare,  music videos, interviews with DJs, MCs and producers in the scene, and details of raves and events that you can go to!

Drum n Bass has become a global music since originating in London, UK, resulting in many different styles contributing to the melting pot!  A great example of this is the impact it had in Brazil and the subsequent style that Brazillian artists like DJ Marky brought to the scene.

Also the MCs in Drum n Bass have had a lyrical renaissance in recent years with artists releasing strong mix cds of fresh material, with bars and flows that are as deep and intricate as any hiphop MC or artist of any other genre.


DJing has also been taken to a level not seen before, with DJs using up to 6 decks for mixing, and one cannot ignore the new artists breaking through in the scene which was always notorious for being locked down, making it a continuously fresh and vibrant scene, rather than one stuck in the past.

Drum n Bass has a great future ahead of it, and this blog is dedicated to covering that for the legions of ravers and supporters of the music...
