@aeva Gosh where do you start... I got into D&B around 1997, so my tastes are quite oldskool.

@aeva Mitch Murder, who is normally a synthwave artist, has recently started to put out some nice atmospheric DnB, and I'm all for it:

Also just yesterday I've remembered about Bustre, they're great at melodic stuff: https://bustre.bandcamp.com/track/calamity-part-1

@aeva I recently got into a band named Hybrid Minds. it's good stuff. In the past, I liked ILS.

@aeva Lamb mixes various genres but is certainly DnB adjacent. Most of their tracks have prominent vocals but here's a fun instrumental track I really like (it evolves a lot over its duration).

@aeva A few artists I like in particular:
- Pendulum (probably the most famous DnB band, bordering on Alternative / Metal)
- Camo & Krooked, Mefjus (a bit "artsy" and experimental)
- Venjent (this guy can turn any random sample into a real banger)
- Koven, Fox Stevenson (actual lyrics there)
- Chase & Status, Sigma, Rudimental (for the true UK sound ;)
- various others: Feint, Friction, Maduk, Murdock

For a specific track recommendation, that's gotta be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oSxF0cNlNM - a true hymn!

@aeva my favorite atmospheric DnB tracks recently:
- the Sensorium EP by arcologies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb4bARgep3E
- So old, but so gold: Inner-Vation - Key 2 Creation (1999) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2kEg6ng30s

I heard it first in one of the FIREWALKER many mixes, it was mentioned previously.
