After launching dnbunited.com in March of 2016 our founder and artist Jason Bakes aka BC⚡︎➒ started the monthly podcast THE UNITED STATE OF DNB. The show was another platform to follow the artist interviews and special features.First the podcast was made available via Soundcloud and mix cloud only.As the show grew in popularity it was clear it had a following that was rapidly emerging as a source for many listeners to preview the music they just read about and finally buy.With the many forms and sub genres that the evolving sound of drum+bass is morphing into I wanted to be able to highlight each style as well as each artist and where they reside.With all the new drum+bass being released today its worth mentioning what country and city its being produced.This is a bold new world with new artists representing almost every city across the globe. Back in the early days of dnb the UK was the main point of all things 174bpm and more. There was an explosion of dnb and jungle coming out of towns like Bristol all over the UK. I was there in the late nineties and artists like Roni Size, Groove rider, Goldie , Fabio, Adam F. and Doc Scott were helping forge the sound of things to come. I always new as an artist and writer that this story would go on to be a interesting one.So we all know the basic history fast forward to todays elements of surprise is what I wanted to focus on with dnbunited.com.Hospital records and others have releases "The Future Sound" series to highlight different countries new artists approach to the modern day drum+bass we feature on the website today.The many labels I work with each have a signature sound that is their hallmark when you here it you know who the artist is signed with. Thats a really good way of branding your label. Do it with the sound.Drum+bass is in my bias opinion is a more sophisticated brand of music. I can list many reasons why but I won't everyone likes it for their own reasons. Ones no more important than the other. Hence calling one genre of dnb "intelligent" is like saying the others are not. So when I started producing THE UNITED STATE OF DNB I also invited the artists we review and interview to create some exclusive guest mixes for DNB◉UNITED.COM. Before we knew it we were getting some really banging mixes. Our podcast went from a thousand listeners to nine thousand overnight!We are now available on Tunein Radio worldwide,Mixcloud,Soundcloud and on Friday night Dj Rea of Vancouver number one dnb show "The late night show"citr.ca or FM 101.9FM rebroadcasts our podcast live.As of today I finally created our You Tube channel THE UNITED STATE OF DNB TV. I love to see the comments from the audience telling me they never herd of that artist we played or how a track turned a bad day into a good one.The best though is when someone claims they never herd of dnb and now they are falling hard in love with it.Music is a gift. If we don't share it it looses its value. So I will keep on producing the show now on a larger platform in hopes that I reach another set of new ears ready to buy the ticket and take the ride.Cheers BC⚡︎➒

DNB United Records, dnbunited.com and The United State of Drum and Bass Podcast was launched world wide on March 16, 2016 by founder and CEO Jason Bakes, a/k/a/ DNB artist and producer BC#9. Jason specifically designed the website to build an institution all of the DNB forms, artists, labels and industry professionals to come together to celebrate the art, culture, and evolving sound of Drum and Bass. DNB United is one of the only websites that has most of the major DNB labels and artists submitting their advanced releases for critical review. DNB United also conducts in-depth interviews from the perspective of another artist, with our founder creating the questions that become the dialog that exclusive interviews with both established and up and coming artists and producers, as well as other industry professionals. The main focus of these interviews is DNB and all of its many facets. DNB United also asks each artist at the conclusion of their interview to create a guest producer’s mix to be included in DNB United’s original podcast, The United State of Drum and Bass, produced and hosted by our founder, DJ BC#9. This original podcast continues to grow, becoming more popular and reaching more listeners each month.

2017 will include an ongoing series of production steps, secrets, and that age old question, “How do you get that bass sound!?!”

Xtene Sixtene is the editor in chief, keeping all things at DNB United proper and professional. Xtene is also a regular contributor, writing reviews and column to come about the visual art scene in Drum and Bass, having attended art school, including the Royal College of Art in London.

Tim Dunleavy is another original staff member and contributor. Tim is an excellent writer and a lifelong professional organic musician.

Other contributors include artists, producers, and fans of Drum and Bass, hailing from such places as the UK, Berlin, Tokyo, Amsterdam as well as the United States, where DNB United is currently based. We are represented globally, always staying true to our message to think globally, and act locally. As all of our subscribers know, DNB United is growing worldwide.

There are now many sub-genres of DNB, including neurofunk, liquid, and many more, offering something for all DNB enthusiasts, including newcomers as well as old-school aficionados.

Our list of affiliates is also growing constantly, including, but not limited to, Hospital and Med School, Metalheadz, Terminal, Eatbrain, Ram. Viper, Program, Invisible and more.

If you love DNB, please follow DNB United on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Vimeo, Soundcloud and Mixcloud, as well as TuneIn Radio. The United State of Drum and Bass can also be heard when rebroadcasted on Friday nights at 12:30 on CITR FM in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on The Late Night Show, which can be heard at 101.9 on the Canadian FM dial. Vancouver’s number one DNB show is hosted by DJ Rea. Check them out streaming on the web at citr.ca for a live stream of this vibrant DNB broadcast.

Future plans for DNB United also include acting as an artist-centered label that is, even now, beginning to line up a roster of artists interested in signing to DNB United Records, not only to be represented by the label, but to become members, chosen by DNB United, for their sheer and undying love of the genre of Drum and Bass…not just the music, but the whole universe of it…to become proud members of a true artist collaborative where we all work together, as well as independently, having both autonomy and community. DNB United is growing into a crew, a family, where the music is always the heartbeat, driving the flow of all of the many intertwining and individually pioneering artists that we all are…individual and unique, but like our name and philosophy both say…United! We are united in the love of not just the ever-growing, changing and evolving genre of DNB, but we stand together to foster, encourage, inspire and form the community, family, culture and movement that is Drum and Bass. As DJ BC#9 can often be heard saying during The United Sate of Drum and Bass podcast…”Stay strong, stay raw, stand tall…Drum and Bass takes all!” And here at DNB United, all lovers of DNB, from artist, to critic, to producer or promoter, to cover art and video designers, to fans…all are welcomed with open arms and waving flags to join us at the one and only DRUM AND BASS UNITED.

S.P.Y has been prolific of late returning to the vanguard of the drum & bass circuit with his ‘Alone In The Dark’ trilogy. He’s a man-turned-machine, firing out bass weapons from his Bristolian treasurecave of synths throughout 2017 all leading up to the final chapter, EP:3.

Opening track ‘Transmission’ is ready to cause disorder. Turning vocal hums into premium merkage with a deadly cocktail of percussion and electrostatic bassline that prove to be all the ingredients required for the ultimate floorfiller.

‘Dominator Mode' is a primal tech-stepper, bringing classically rugged drum & bass stylings well and truly into the contemporary realm. Rustic and tribal with a distorted vocal sample sitting top, manufactures a truly dystopian audio atmosphere.

We all dare to dream but S.P.Y appears to bring these feint fantasies into reality. Reaching for his alter-ego classic liquid movements, the pertinently named ‘Dreaming’ pictures a cosmic landscape with astral synths, a majestic key-lead hook, distant vocals and wistful melodies.

Now it wouldn’t be a S.P.Y release without that signature grit. Fear not, this is delivered in ‘Hardcore Harry’. Latin chic breaks are met by jagged sounds and the warmest of sub licks - this anthem is a wall-to-wall banger. Equally, there’s the full flux of ‘Lockdown’ with sci-fi bleeps and wired rhythms that follow an up front lyrical injection before the climactic drop.

They say three’s a crowd but they couldn’t be more wrong with S.P.Y seeing his ‘Alone In The Dark’ trilogy off this October and ending on a high. Click above photo to buy / stream.

This set is a small cross-section of their collective output, with material taken from their earliest beginnings right up to their latest LP, Better Perspective, which is well-worth a listen.

[bc9world]

Its that time again. Cast your vote for the best in Drum+Bass from artists, producers, websites and more. Just simply click the above photo and make your voice and vote count. It’s going to be a big one: this year has seen a groundswell of changes as the genre appears to have returned to its underground melting pot roots. There’s been a lot less commercial chart-chasing and a lot more boundary bashing as artists across the scene have been collaborating and cross-pollinating more than in previous years. And that’s before we get to some of the incredible parties and festivals we’ve experienced this year. Whoever you vote for, the results are going to be really interesting this year.The ceremony itself will be held at Brixton Electric on December 5 and will once again provide a unique moment for fans, artists and industry to get together on a night off, kick back and enjoy the music that defines, soundtracks and supercharges our lives. The event will include tributes to three significant losses the scene has suffered this year Marcus Intalex, Dominator and Apex and will be hosted by Jenna G and Foreign Beggar Pav. The event will also feature a range of live acts and DJs and, once the trophies have been handed out, will turn into a dirty old rave until late (standard) You can get your tickets here.In the meantime, let’s vote. The first round of the Drum&BassArena Awards 2017 votes are open until October 23. Once the votes have been counted, a second round of voting will commence for the top 10 nominations in each category. As always, the Drum&BassArena Awards are 100% voted for by the real life drum & bass loving public. If you don’t pledge your support now, you can’t complain when the votes are in.

Album In Review

Viper Recordings Cyantific feat. BMotion - Cyborg

October 10, 2017.Jason Bakes, Founder DNB◉UNITED RECORDS

Two of Viper’s finest team up to bring you ‘Cyborg’, the powerful drum & bass tune that is gearing up to destroy dancefloors everywhere. Cyantific and BMotion are truly a match made in heaven!

With an artful opening that builds suspense, you know big things are coming from the moment you hit play. Strong synths steal the spotlight and infuse the track with a vivacious 80s feel. ‘Cyborg’ has a real power to it, the kind of track that owns the room as soon as it starts and leaves jaws on the floor once it drops.

The track transports us to a neon world of man vs robot, telling a story with every beat in a way only Cyantific is capable of. An adrenaline-packed tune from start to finish, ‘Cyborg’ perfectly weaves together both Cyantific’s and BMotion’s unique sounds into one powerhouse of a track.

Catch Cyantific alongside the Brookes Brothers, Koven, Majistrate, TC, and the Harry Shotta Show in 8 dates across the UK this winter as part of the Sound of Drum & Bass tour
