or maybe Blame ( YouTube - Blame - Destiny )
or LTJ Bukem who is just in a class of his own and has a huge backcatalogue of chilled dnb ( YouTube - LTJ Bukem & PFM - Love & Hypnosis ) basically check out anything by him because most of it's really classy.
for what it's worth, pendulum, who have bizarrely attracted a big following from people who don't really have any interest in dnb don't represent atall the legacy and history of dnb, they are pretty much the lowest common denominator of cheesy pillhead dancefloor pish.
so yeah, listen to LTJ Bukem |
some classic Photek is pretty "intelligent" too...
the LTJ "earth" series was lovely...but I thought it sort of started the "elevator" drum and bass stuff that became like trip hop..."wallpaper music".
(sorry La Mula, I posted this before I read your post...but Like Stripey says, pendulum is a bit cheesey (or bandwagon jumper)...if you want the "harder" drum n bass, get the classics, not the prodigy of the drum n bass world.
The producer Kurt Gluck (Ohms resistance) has some fantastic stuff on his label.
Mich Harris (Scorn, Napalm Death, lull,....etc) has produced some brutal stuff under the moniker "Quoit"
(can't find any QUOIT vids...but here's some new scorn shit)
YouTube - SCORN - Live in Budapest at TRAFO
don't be put off by the "dancing".
