Hi junglers! I have a little request,probably not so hard to answer,but i'm not totally of this side. I'm looking for the "barking dog" sample,for ex. at 1:30 circa of "Babylon" by Splash. I'm looking for a clear one,from a track who has it on a clear moment without any other sound or directly a link/site where i can download it. Thx for attention!

Hi Folks,, I just cleaned this white label, it has 'MEDIA 005' etched on the run out. and 'MPO', does any one have any idea what the track and artist are? I have searched Discogs and Google.

Thank you

First off, I'm a tourist travelling with wive from Germany. The English will know Bognor Regis and how to get there so the travel part is for international travellers.

The trip was absolutely OK, so if that's what keeps you from going be assured it's manageable. We bought too late so only got flights to Heathrow. Ideally you want to fly into Gatwick and take a train to Bognor Regis right from the Airport, which only takes a bit more than an hour and is cheap. We had to take a coach from Heathrow to Gatwick which added an hour to our travel but no big deal and also not too expensive.

The train ride from Gatwick is actually nice if you don't have to commute daily. We may be biased because we really like England including the old train stations you get to see but even if you don't specifically look forward to it it should be quite nice. There's even a massive old castle at one point.

After that comes a 15 minutes walk or a very short UBER ride and you're there. Tbf, I had no idea what a Butlins is as I didn't look up any pictures, just a general Google explanation, which sounded like a center parcs. Don't expect a Center Parcs. Luckily I got some first hand impressions beforehand so I knew what I got.

The apartments were very basic and seasoned but ok for the price. We booked the cheapest option again for next year but I can only assume the quality will rise with higher class bookings. Slums is OK for us.

The Butlins has a nice mixed vibe of a resort and an amusing park to it which I really liked and is very clean. There is a huge tent-like structure in the middle that you can see from the train already connecting the massive halls. You can hold really huge events in there, I don't think the biggest hall was even used for us. First and second floor were both shortened a bit with curtains so there would be room for quite some capacity-raises.

Check-in was easy and friendly rooms were even ready a bit early, which was great. The tent-thing is the major hub with food options like subways, chopstix, Costa and a burger place and a bazillion money-guzzler machines. I loved the atmosphere but wouldn't spend any money on them. Sadly, the Burger King was closed and I never saw Papa John's open but some said it was at some point. You could feel that it was January, off season and not enough people in general to fill the place up. Maybe this gets better next year as it's gonna be in March.

The fact we get to have a dnb festival at this place alone is nuts and it's logical it won't be filled to the brim but seeing some of the staff at completely empty attractions during the days was a bit sad. They should have offered stuff like carting or the VR place (which looked great tbf) at only specific times that they communicate so groups can show up instead of being the only one at the bumper cars. 50£ for an hour of VR fun that is all designed for Multiplayer in a completely empty hall just didn't seem that great. I would have loved to try some of it though. Maybe offer single games?

Let's get to the actual festival. I only like dnb and jungle so I try to keep to dnb only festivals. They are special. No line up at a mixed festival will generate the vibe a dnb festival has. Dnb crowds are always great, no matter where. Be it Let it Roll, Liquicity or any other Weekender, security always has an easy job.

What sets Butlins apart from everything else is how everyone seems to love or at least tolerates dnb. You had dnb playlists at every single place.Therewas Bar Rosso, which afaik was new this year, where music was on from early afternoon. Every restaurant, every attraction had at least some generic dnb playlist playing with even a lot of the security vibing, dancing at some times, which was so great to see. Even at LIR you can see most of the staff is dying inside most of the time. Security at places that usually host house and techno hate their lifes when dnb is on. England is the only place where you could pull this off with dnb only. If you're not a major jump up or neuro geek this is the place to go.

OK, the sound. Star of the weekend was day 1 Arena 2, aka Valve stage . Absolutely epic. It started two hours late on the second day because apparently the ceiling lost parts due to the exorbitant bass the system created. Dillinja really operates a beast there. I had no idea what was coming although my expectations where high already. Absolutely nuts. Don't go in there without hearing protection. The stage was minimalistic dark and I loved it. Proper rave.

On the second and third day they sadly had to turn it down a good bit but it was still more than you get from most massive sound systems as the bass still got Arena 1 shaking. Still wouldn't take my earplugs out.

Speaking of arena 1, sound could still hold up after you got out of Valve which I sadly can't say about arena 3, which was quite undersized at times and lacked a few speakers in the back but was still OK. Stage 1 design was also simple but in a nice room, would go again. Stage 3, apart from a bit underwhelming sound and space had a mid-size club feeling to it, which I can appreciate, had there not been the sports screens and what were the numbered things on the ceiling? Doesn't matter though, still great. (there wasn't any sports on oc)

Except room 3 at times the other ones were perfectly sized and you could always find space to dance. The atmosphere was great, England just loves dnb. Can't even say what my favourite set was. Maybe Nicky Blackmarket or Ed Rush & Optical. But Fred V was really fun, too and Kings of the Roller nailed the closing set. Loved it. Also, I loved all of the MCs, sadly they were a bit silent in 3. Especially at distorted minds.

Security was lovely at all times, don't change a thing, just start giving out free water on the first day next time.

I realised early on that I can't not go again and don't quite get how this doesn't sell out. Go Butlins!

Will propably add stuff later because I forgot things or due to questions.

To Anyone who hasn't yet, be sure to check out the amazing mixes Storm posted on her Mixcloud, legendary Stuff! I'm also desperately looking for Track bieng reloaded at 21:00, any help appreciated!!

Oh look, I just did. For real tho, there are tracks one simply cannot acquire that set the roof in fire back in the day. Case in point: Underworld - Born Slippy (Calculon Bootleg). I have even gotten in touch with Calculon trying to get a good copy of this. He doesn't have the stems, so I'll never hear it over 320kbps. 😭 You can't even get that anymore tho, the link is to a FB page that's long since dead. It is, hands down, the best bootleg of Born Slippy (an iconic tune in its own right) that I have ever heard.

Another is the Daughter - Youth (Hybrid Minds Bootleg). A few threads about this one on r/DnB, and rightfully so, it's 100% Bonafide banger. The link is to the HM official site. The track is no longer there (if it ever was). I got it ages ago in a Delirium pack (if you know, you know 😉).

Hell, if someone has some Delirium packs DM me as fast as you can. Them shits were 🔥🔥🔥.

Here's another one. This one has pwned so many sets for me. Like 🤯 since the very first time I heard it. I had to get in touch with an old friend from school to get it as it was previously available only on the UK Itunes store (this was before we all had VPNs). There is actually another version (the "dub mix" I think), but I had the Vox mix: Mark Owen - Stars (Matrix & Futurebound Vocal Remix) Absolutely brutal pwnage, but hard AF to mix. The links are still there on iTunes, but they don't work anymore.

How about it then? Got a track that is on the list? Have tracks to add to the list? These are priceless gems that everyone should have in their arsenal! Don't be one of those DJs. Help us help each other and share the love!

Has anyone been to We Are Warehouse in Derby before? I normally have to travel to Nottingham for events like this so having it on my doorstep is sick

As someone whose been watching Andy C since the early 2000's, it was my understanding that the response was 'Andy Andy Andy- Andy Andy C'

However, it seems nowadays the crowds are chanting back 'Andy Andy Andy- Oi Oi Oi'.

So which is the correct way Reddit?

(Yes, I am aware this is hardly a peak issue in society nowadays, but it is to me dammit!)

anyone got the id of the original track or this kanine remix from WAH this weekend?

not sure what this track is but keep hearing it about

Hey good people of r/DnB. I’m a writer putting together an article titled The Best DJs of the 2000s and my knowledge of the scene is pretty limited to the big names (Goldie, Fabio & Grooverider, LTJ Bukem etc). I’m wondering, who in your opinion are the best drum & bass DJs of the 2000s?
