each genre will have multiple releases I enjoy or however the cookie crumbles, if you think there's ever a definitive winner to a genre: you haven't listened to enough music. I will be thorough, and if you disagree with me, suggest a change.

I suggest buying buying a physical or digital copy from Bandcamp or Tidal. If that is shit nophono cares about to you get digital copies for free from Slsk. I will have some of these releases available on my Slsk profile: wolf.

    • "a lot of people have been asking why I think "fine night", and the gnb album in general sucks, so I thought I'd give some explanation for ya! This album was made in one afternoon. someone said to me I should stop slagging off drum m bass of the time because I hadn't made any. I said a lot of it was boring and formulaic, and lazily made. I don't like being dismissive or negative about something unless I can prove I have enough experience with it to make whatever statement I am making, so I accepted the challenge and bashed out some lazy, uncreative, formulaic drum n bass in a few hours - that's gnb."
