Starjunk95 – Industrial Sunset Memories

This album is all over the place and it’s fantastic. It’s breaks, drum and bass, house, bass, future funk, and it’s uplifting, energetic, and groovy. It’s one of those “when all the world goes to shit, this is my happy place” kinds of music.

Update: So now I learned about rally house as a genre. Then is this rally drum and bass?

FD – From The Ashes

Liquid drum and bass, sometimes not so liquid but great dnb through-and-through. Perfect listen for the summer.

Update: this has been my favorite drum and bass record for quite a while, very easy to leave it playing back to back.

Tim Reaper – in vain

Perfect lounging breakbeat. Sometimes it’s liquid drum and bass, sometimes it’s dubstep, but for the most part it’s soulful broken beats with a soothing tone. Reading the liner notes gives a good perspective to this album: I can see how something so full of soul can come from grasping for the life line in a time of need.
