Blame on D&B TV – Respect is Due!

If you don’t know who Blame is, shame on you! This lovely chap is one of the guys who’s been around since the conception of DnB with hardcore/breakbeat tracks like Music Takes You. Unassuming and hardworking, Blame is a producer I’d absolutely love to work with who keeps his head down, produces original, vocal pieces of DnB heaven and knocks out lovely tunes like Stay Forever and a stunning remix of the dance classic Show Me Love. Like he mentions in the video, he’s working on his album and I have a feeling it’s gonna be one of the releases of the year filled with tracks sprinkled with summer vibes. Can’t wait!
Respect is most definitely due!
Rihanna does D&B?

Link: Rihanna does D&B?
“Rihanna has decided to move away from her usual R’n’B sound and has teamed up with British drum and bass duo Chase and Status for her “big change”.”
Hellfire! Chase & Status are everywhere at the moment! Even my Mum likes some of their stuff!
Ok, enough exclamation marks… does this really see DnB hitting the main stream with the likes of Goldie being featured at the BBC Proms in Classic Goldie and Sub Focus getting to number 38 in the Top 40 with Rock It? There’s even been talk of Blame being picked up by a major label (unconfirmed at this point I might add, don’t sue me Conrad). I really, really hope so. Imagine how strong the scene could grow with coverage like this. Think about!
Top 10 D&B Tweeps
Posted by SubVee in Artists, D&B Knowledge on 06/03/2009
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!
