A little drum and bass track which i have tried to be a bit more moody and dark than my normal stuff. Still working on my use of compression, mixing, mastering etc so hope i haven't overdone it (sounds ok to me but not listened in car yet)

Any comments appreciated

You know, this is not my style at all, I'm all about house music, but I think your dnb stuff is much better than when you do House, idk, it just sounds better, the elements fit together better, and overall sounds a lot more polished... πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Nice work Popey! πŸ•Ί

Thanks Phillip πŸ‘. Drum and bass is what I played when djing for many years so it's more my style but sometimes I just fancy creating something a bit slower which is when my weird house things get made 🀣

That explains it, then. You know, the best way to get good at making any genre is listening to it. The more you listen to a style, the better equipped you are to making it. You've heard lots more dnb, therefore, you are better at making it!

I like some of that stuff, the stuff I used to listen to a lot was like DJ marky and especially what with patife, and shy FX, Goldie, dillinja... A little bit of ak1200 and Dieselboy for when my punk side wants to come out for 10 minutes πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ but yeah, I mean, I guess 90s dnb stuff. I absolutely love 2 step though... From the hardcore continuum, that's my preferred style πŸ•Ί

Yeah early 90's to 00's was the period I dj'd in and owned most of the records by the artists you mention above (apart from patife who is a new name to me). I'm getting into a lot of melodic techno at the moment as well so you are right I need to keep listening to understand how to create it and what makes it the genre it is. πŸ‘

Cheers Skimrok. The bass is a bit different than normal for me as I used loads of individual samples and tweaked/reversed them instead of making my basslines with a synth like I always have done before.

You are not wrong that first track is beautiful and I like how it switches up later on. Sadly the second video says it will not play on other sites but i will be checking out more Patife stuff on you tube for sure.
