    Default Top 10(ish) Drum & Bass

    Following from this thread What are your top tracks of the genre? (please only list tracks that are proven to actually work in a mobile disco situation & not just because they are of a certain genre. Also must be suitable for all ages)

    It doesn't matter if you post a track that somebody else has, the idea is to find good useable tracks of the genre that are proven to work for mobile DJs

    Please Stick to the specific genre in the thread title

    All of the arguments about what's Jungle vs what's D'n'B aside...

    ****ed near anything by LTJ Bukem and Roni Size/Reprazent - especially New Forms-era. Alex Reece from about the same time - 'Jazz Master', 'Candles', etc. Early Adam F, especially 'Circles' and 'F Jam'. Certain Kruder and Dormeister and Snooze tracks/remixes, too.

    On a slightly more Jungle aspect, Goldie - 'Digital' being a favourite.

    From a more pop and/or general dancefloor angle:
    M-Beat/Jamiroquai 'Do you Know Where You're Coming From?'
    Josh Abrahams (Puretone in the UK) 'Addicted to Bass'
    Bomfunk MCs 'Freestyler'
    Natural Born Chillers 'Rock the Funky Beat' (Original or Urban Takeover mixes)
    Luniz 'I Got Five on it' (Urban Takeover Mix)

    My fave of the moment (read last six months) Pendulum & The Freestylers 'Fasten Your Seatbelt' although, given the BPM it's almost kinda Breaks... stonkin' tune, though.

    First reply got munched

    So, to paraphrase:

    Roni Size/Reprazent, especially New Forms-era, e.g. 'Heroes' & 'Brown Paper'.
    Alex Reece and Adam F from about the same time, 'Jazz Master' and 'F-Jam'.
    Goldie and LTJ Bukem to varying degrees

    From a pop/general dancefloor standpoint:
    Bomfunk MCs 'Freestyler'
    Jamiroquai/M-Beat 'Do You Know Where You're Coming From?'
    Josh Abrahams (Puretone in the UK) 'Addicted to Bass'
    Natural Born Chillers 'Rock the Funky Beat' (Original and Urban Takeover Mixes)
    Luniz 'I Got Five on it' (Urban Takeover Mix)

    Personal favourite for the last six months would have to be Pendulum & The Freestylers 'Fasten Your Seatbelt' - it kinda bridges the gap between "Jump up" Drum 'n' Bass and Funky Breaks, which is cool.

    Jamiroquai 'Do You Know Where You're Coming From?, ft. M-Beat' (though very light and jazzy drum'n'bass possibly not what junglists are after)

    M-Beat 'Incredible' (not charted, as such, but recognisable to many from the opening sequence in Da Ali G Movie - when he goes nuts to the music in his car "Wicked, aah, wicked, Jungle is Massive...").

    Josh Abrahams (released as Puretone in the UK) 'Addicted to Bass' (note only the original version is Drum'n'Bass-y all of the remixes are NuSkool Breaks or Progressive House)

    The Bomfunk MCs 'Freestyler'

    Natural Born Chillers 'Rock the Funky Beat' (Original or Urban Takeover Remixes) (not sure if it charted but VERY well known)

    Apollo440 'Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Dub'/'Heart Go Boom' - both moderately well-known, the former because it's a Van Halen sample the latter in its own right.

    Several Freestylers songs are Drum'n'Bass, too, but I think 'Warning' (not well known) was the only one released as a single.

    The best way to get 'charting' Drum'n'Bass, often, is to get Drum'n'Bass remixes of charting hip-hop...
    Luniz 'I Got 5 On It' (Urban Takedown Remix)
    The Fugees 'Fugee-La' (Goldie Remix)
    The Jungle Brothers 'Jungle Brother' (Urban Takedown Remix)
    Skee-Lo 'I Wish' (Concrete Jungle Remix)
    (I'm sure more will occur to me - worth noting that all of these tracks have quite long atmospheric/down-tempo intros)

    Missy Elliott 'Get Ur Freak On' is very good for getting from Hip-Hop to Drum'n'Bass as it is a Drum'n'Bass style drum pattern at hip-hop tempo.

    Finally, and I'm apologising for this now...
    Shaggy 'Boombastic (Firefox & 4-Tree Bassboom Remix)' (on the original single)

    Does that help?

    M-Beat did chart in around 1993-1994.

    I know you are trying to help someone, but these threads are lists only, so please try and keep it that way.
