Been listening to this recently. I want music that makes me feel like I'm playing Bomberman Hero.

The drums got some serious bite, and that thick bassline is ever-present.

Jungle was the first music I ever liked back in the early 90s.

When that bass first kicks in in that Peshay set… Oof.

I used to love DJ Hype's Drum & Bass Selection tapes:

My fav ever dnb album which is criminally underrated is Plug - Drum n Bass for Papa (The US tracklist in particular, there's two slightly different version)

Going off the time period of the mix in the OP, I think the vibe in particular you're looking for is from the mid-late 90's when DnB started establishing itself as a separate genre from jungle. Pretty much any releases on Metalheadz and Moving Shadow from around 1995-1998ish is gonna be fire. Big names in particular to check out from that era would be Goldie, Photek, Omni Trio, Fabio & Grooverider, and Alex Reece.

For the harder type of stuff from around then, there's artists Ed Rush, Dillinja, and Dom & Roland (though Dom & Roland ended up being an antivaxxer sadly)

I think Discogs is generally the best recourse for exploring this kind of stuff, especially for browsing through record labels.

For drums I'm amazed no one listed the hallmark of gated reverb: Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight



For bass I have to go with the funk: Bernard Wright - Haboglabotribin

These next lists of songs are different than the ones in the OP. They are what I would say are bangers rather than chill vibers. Great to boost your energy or for workout playlists:

DJ Fresh - Lassitude

DJ Fresh - Hypercaine

DJ Fresh - Hot Right Now (Camo & Crooked Remix)

No worries, I'm open to anything from the genre or adjacent genres. This thread can be broad in scope. Thanks for your recommendations, and everyone else's! I've already listened to some of it and I really dig it.

Just drummers I enjoy. I am not a music expert at all.



Kai Hatho.

He is like a robot, super precise. A human metronome.

Playing for Nighwish and Wintersun. Has some drum cams from shows on YouTube as well.

Also Jukka Nevalainen.

He was so fun to watch in nightwish before he needed to stop ( Kai took over with his blessing) because of health issues.
He always looked so energetic and into the songs when playing. I just enjoy his energy.

Some people don't know the vibes, a shame!



The late, great Marcus Intalex with his collaborator ST Files.



Photek was my introduction into DnB/Jungle. Absolute legend.



Neuro gods collaborating.



Frederic Robinson has a super unique style and is one of my favorite artists that popped up in the past 10 years or so.

Also, pretty much all of Hospital Records.

This is a definite mood I get and 100% understand. Well put and glad there's some stuff here.

Some odd places I've found that sounds - Chumbawamba and Madonna's albums from the late 90s.

This song gives me that feel.

Edit: I just wanted to say that this thread is incredible. I've been looking for this style for ages but never knew what it was called or how to find it. I only know the one I posted because I listened to it around that time and it always gave me that vibe.

Huh, so I just learned that Pendulum's 2005 album "Hold Your Colour" is the best selling DnB album of all time, and it's honestly well-deserved. Put on any Pendulum for a good time, but I love The Island (part 2), it's one of my main tracks for testing the range/response on an audio device:



Those drums, and the synths sliding up and down the spectrum, are a good workout for your gear. Also they're from Australia, so that's rad.

I'm bumping this because I just came across this performance of one of my favorite Day6 songs. There's a pretty dope bass solo at around the 3 minute mark.

Carlton & Ashton Barrett, during the Wailers era. Augustus Pablo's Original Rockers and Bunny Wailer's Blackheart Man are the 2 albums that captures their genius at their best.

If we're talking about those kinds of drums and bass, I'd say that Style & Flabba of Roots Radics are the GOATs. I don't think I've heard anything they've done with Junjo that wasn't absolute fire.

I missed this thread the first time and I am...interested in how many ways people seemed to have interpreted "drum and bass" despite OP literally containing what they were looking for.

Anyway, OP you should really look into anything from the catalog of Good Looking Records/Good Looking Organisation (now defunct unfortunately). Artists like Blame, Blu Mar Ten, LTJ Bukem, Big Bud, Makoto and even Peshay like you've linked in the OP. Additionally Hospital Records' earlier output was much closer to the Liquid Funk sound (sort of an evolution/off-shoot of what you posted) than it is now. The specific jazzy/soulful drum and bass in your example doesn't get nearly as much play any more, or at least I'm not in the right circles to be hearing it; it was VERY much a product of it's time (late 90s - early 00s).

If you specifically like the jazzy qualities of the Peshay set here are two things that spring to mind, one old and one new:

If you like the Bomberman Hero soundtrack you maybe like the Ape Escape soundtrack. More whimsical but there are some amazing tunes




Also the singer and violinist of Long Fin Killie, a gay 90s Post-Rock/Indie band, did a solo album and that song is some great DnB (or Jungle? Sounds fairly similar)
