Blu Mar Ten has done some serious work around connecting the D&B community on Twitter and produced a definitive list of D&B players and related peeps on his site. If you’re serious about what is going on the industry or your a fan then head over and check out the list.
I’ve been following quite a few of them for a while now so I’ve put together the ‘Top 10 D&B Peeps on Twitter List’ as a good starter if you’re new to Twitter or D&B. It’s a mixture of artists/producers, DJs and other interesting D&B people who have something damn interesting to say and are using Twitter for all the right reasons.
In no order (I promise)… Simon ‘Baseline’ Smith – @basslinesmith – Tweets about the regular things a boys gets up to plus all the mental D&B gubbins you wanna hear about. And yes, he does tweet back
London Elektricity – @londonelek – Tweeting about Hospital Records stuff, the infamous (and award winning) Hospital Podcasts and how the tour of OZ and NZ is going… And general showing off (damn you Colman!)
Blame – @blame720 – Been around for a while (in the industry and) on Twitter… remixes, tunes and where he’s playing.
DJ Zinc – @djzinc – General stuff and things plus links to new tunes and gigs. DJ Flight – @djflight – Photography, life at BM Soho and D&B banter.
John B – @johnbbeta – He’s got it covered! Pics, gigs and friend of the stars… he really is all over Twitter!
Craggz – @craggzcraggz -Footie, life and constantly in the studio.
The Risky – @therisky – Drum and Bass Arena’s head honcho, tweeting about the podcasts, tunes and beers in the sunshine.
Commix – @GuyCommix – Feeling the Twitter vibe more than most – Gigs, pics and life tweets.
and finally… Blu Mar Ten – @blumarten – Doing some sterling work on connecting the D&B Twitter crowd and I urge you to contribute to his D&B list!
I’m sure there are plenty more out there so if you wanna add any other recommendations on who to follow on Twitter, bang it in the comments.
Oh and Mike Skinner is a good giggle too!
