RAMsterdam 2013 is a marvelous 15-track release from RAM Records, featuring d&b from many artists you are probably familiar with, and possibly some new names as well. Lots of different approaches and sounds to be found here, from more 'laid back' and liquid old-school type d&b to the newer, more in-your-face and more futuristic approach.
A few of the tracks became my favorites of course. Number one would be the embedded track, "Bluescreens" from Strike One. I don't really have to say much about it, put on a pair of headphones, crank up the volume and listen closely!
Really liked "Warrior" by Loadstar as well, with a classic break approach, I feel it being similar to "Shellshock" which is a good thing indeed.
If squares and hectic melodies are your thing, you'll probably also like "Let The Story Begin" by Sub Focus, I sure did.
So if you're looking for some great drum and bass, from artists you can trust to deliver (Noisia, Wilkinson, Loadstar, Calyx & TeeBee amongst others) but also try something new, I definitely recommend getting this album for the handful of dollars that it would cost you.
Get it here!
