r/DnB

Since the start of 2026, the music world has changed
AI Music has now made up at least 28% up to 40% of daily uploads onto these platforms, and a decent chunk belongs to people pushing out AI music solely for profit over any form of creativity
 
With the addition of Spotify "carefully" labeling real musicians who do not use AI Generation, their requirements have left many musicians who don’t use any AI Generation and just below this requirement in the dust.

 
I feel that two additions to both of these platforms will let users / listeners who use these music platforms daily be able to fully understand in a complete transparent way on WHO they are listening to and WHAT they are listening to.
 
If there is enough evidence to show that the artist on this platform is AI Generated and not a real-life musician, it should have an "May Contain AI Generation" label on the artist profile itself, similar to how Spotify now has "Verified By Spotify" so the listener understands that the person behind the songs they are listening to with full transparency.
If there is enough evidence to show that the song on this platform is AI Generated, it should be listed next to the artist name on these platforms with "May Contain AI Generation", so if a listener finds the song on a "Mix" or a "Radio" they are listening to, they are able to view that the song could have AI Generation involved with it.
Considering that both of these platforms have allowed AI Generated Music to be put on the platform and have started to implement a crude method to verify musicians who don’t use AI at all, we need to at least have full transparency that the track was either made by a real human or made by an AI or an Hybrid AI/Human track

Been to a couple of Dillinja shows in the last year ish and absolutely loved them. Come away digging a solid chunk of the tunes but recognizing not many of them (I'm sure there's probs a bunch of unreleased stuff in there). I'm all ears for recommended playlists/artists/tunes or whatever!

I dunno what genre of DNB to call this but OMFG this crushes for me. Looking for others to checkout with similar vibes?

Hello, everyone. I'm a 34 y/o metalhead, who's slowly getting back into the swing of things, as far as my favourite genres of electronic music are concerned. I made a similar post in r/dubstep and got exactly what i wanted - i filled some of my knowledge blanks (since i somewhat quit the genre at some point within the past 10-15 years, same goes for DnB, honestly) and made a bunch of new discoveries that enriched my experience.

I'd argue that Drum and Bass is even more special to me, because it's my first time falling in love with electronic music (late 90's to mid 00's, i'd say). For someone, who predominantly listens to metal for as long as i can remember myself, most of EDM sounded too lovey-dovey for my taste (and that's fine - more power to you, if you're into it), which naturally made me gravitate towards DnB and Dubstep (even though both have softer subgenres within them).

Much time has passed, but i realized that this is definitely not a "phase" and i'm eager to submerge myself into this music once again. There's probably a lot that i don't know though, since, well, much time has passed. So, help the brother out, as they say.

P.S : oh, yes, if any of you can point me in the direction of some sites, dedicated to subgenres of DnB and artists that perform them - please, let me know. We, metalheads, have it easy these days with databases like Metal Archives/Metalstorm. It's a shame that other types of music don't get nearly enough coverage on the web... or do they ?

This tune is an addiction 🔥🔥🔥

I love dnb in an almost spiritual way - it’s the only music that takes me out of my body and gives me almost a high and I am slowly becoming obsessed hahaha At the moment I’m really into tracks with MCs on but struggling to weed the good out from the bad. Any recommendations for classics/ new releases/hidden gems? Would appreciate a pointer as it can be difficult to find organically

Hey, '90s raver here. Back in my day (LOL), DNB tracks were roughly 5-10 minutes in length. ...... After decades in a different genre, today I heard some sick dnb and ADHD'd into Spotify to start building playlists of new (2022-ish and newer) tracks. ...... I saw that MOST tracks are about 3 minutes each. Lame, but then I figured that artists were merely sharing samples via Spotify, hoping bassheads will go buy full-length albums/EPs. ..... I went to Discogs and WTAF: YEAH, DNB tracks are now like 3-4 minutes long! .... Can you guys explain what happened over the past 20 years? Why did producers stop making tracks long enough to mix in and out over the course of an hour set. These feel like once you hit Play, it's gonna be over before you can say "got one for me buddy?"

Hey guys looking to find some more artists similar to the works of Black Sun Empire, Concord Dawn and associated producers/dj’s
I’m already familiar with Calyx,Teebee, Noisia, Ed Rush, Optical, Optiv etc so I’m more so looking for some smaller artists to throw in the mix aswell

Open to all suggestions! All help is much appreciated
Thsnkyou guys, Peace

Enjoying getting back to producing. Would appreciate any feedback on this before mastering it
