@@rhysevans7903I went to Valve @The Mass - Brixton, and they were giving out ear plugs 😅. There was a certain spot in the venue where the bass converged, and was so heavy that it was difficult to breathe haha.
Lietening to it now i can agree, but at the stage the sound and overall experience is a total different for me. To some extent his voice blends just into the beat and lets it roll even more.
Crazy how Drum and bass culture has changed so much and MCs have gone from masters to getting so much hate. A pure energy jump up set like this without an MC is like a guitar without strings. Crowd control, bars, flow ... Big up Felon MC. Big up this set!
I mean ok he was mcing for the crowd and not for us sitting home scratching our arses.. we all know the vibe is different out there.. for that purpose at the time he did a great job, yeah, now listening as a playback? just jarring is all.
@@sunhammer420 well the thing is not every set is good with MC too, for jump up set as is this one (big ups Original Sin), it adds to the energy, but MCs on Neurofunk set for example is a bit of an overkill imho, neuro is energetic enough even without the MC and it's more techier too so it doesnt make much sense to spit bars over robot sounds honestly (just a humble opinion)
Depends on the DJ. Jump up I feel it's an absolute must, but less so on a liquid set for example. I don't agree with the amount of hate they get tho. When they're performing it's for the moment and not with the intention of pleasing someone watching on RU-vid 5 years later. The only exception to this I've seen is Sigma's 2014 rampage set. Fatman and Doctor fucking ruined it because they were just promoting themselves with t shirts constantly. I mean when the set cuts out for 10 minutes and the comments are mainly just about how shit the MCs are so you know they're shit.
@@psyguy556 Completely agree there are a few terrible MCs such as fatman D. Nothing i hate more when jump up MCs call for a reload when the crowd hasn't earnt one. I just hate this internet culture on hating MCs when theyve been, and always will be a huge part of the DnB experience. And on liquid set Mcs, some of my fave MC sets ever were over liquid. DRS singing and spitting on a beach. SPMC with Calibre. Fava MC became my favourite at Let it roll & liquidity. Singing, real crowd interactions, happy faces everywhere, he controlled the crowd as much as the decks... But I guess the internet will never feel that. Guess I just gotta ignore it, get off the internet and keep experiencing DnB the junglist way.
