Hey, well I saw a post on ziptied about music and it got me thinking: “what kind of music does SON listen to?”

So have at it! What’s your music of choice?

I listen to about every genre of music, but my love is Jungle/Drum n Bass. I’ve been spinning it for a few years now, playing at bars and parties and what not. I also produce under the same moniker I spin with, Dj Versa, with my friend (Vice), hence Vice Versa. Canada has a huge jungle scene so it caters nicely.

Some of my favourites:

Hip-Hop: Aesop Rock, Jedi Mind Tricks, The Pharcyde, Immortal Technique, Royce 5’9", Brother Ali, Canibus, Louis Logic, Ugly Duckling, some Nas, etc.

Rock/Alternative: Dave Matthews Band, Incubus, Pearl Jam, Sonic Youth, Third Eye Blind, Tool, Soulfly, Metallica, Liquid Tension Experiment, Pantera, Dream Theater, Buckethead, a whole buncha other solo guitarists, Galla, etc.

Punk/Ska/Hardcore: Death by Stereo, Thrice, Bane, Kid Dynamite, Less Than Jake, Boy Sets Fire, Snot, Converge, Propaghandi, AFI, Catch 22, MU330, The Misfits, Bad Religion, Skankin’ Pickle, Mustard Plug, Dead Kennedys, etc.

A whole buncha random Reggae/Dancehall.

Some Euro, Trance.

JAZZ I love.

(I play drums, guitar, and bass)

I could go on forever.

Favorite band: 311

I do have a few mixtapes lying around waiting to be turned into CD. I’ll get back to you once they’re MP3s or whatever.

I don’t usually spin ragga just because I don’t normally buy any and i’ve only got a couple tunes in my crate.

I go to Jungle parties/Raves once in a while. I’ve seen Nicky Blackmarket here in Toronto, so sick. One of my high school teacher’s is actually a producer with records pressed and distributed (True Crime). His best friend is Illfingas. So he can get records pressed for me when I’m ready to put some stuff out.

Some producers I like:
Ed Rush & Optical, Dj Fresh, Un-cut, Dj Marky/XRS Land/Stamina MC, Bad Company, Technical Itch, the entire Ram Records family, Tali, Roni Size, High Contrast, Pendulum (My favourite right now), Zinc, Trouble On Vinyl, DKay, Moving Fusion, Full Cycle, etc. etc. etc.

If you wanna here some sets and see where the scene is at right now, Drum & Bass Arena has everything: http://www.breakbeat.co.uk/

i mainly listen to reggae and soca. once in a while i will listen to some hip hop/rap, But rescently ive been listening to a lot of rock/alternative. i suppose there are some country songs that are allright, but its nothing that i would continuously listen to. since im european it is natural for me to like dance…Oldies such as Boney M, Abba etc. And cant forget the soft jazz, which i use only in cartain situations… :wink:

18

Somehow for a lot of you, I could tell exactly what you listen to. :wink:

I like making my own music more.

I write anything from nature instrumentals to the heaviest of rap beats, and yes, I rap, that’s where my nickname comes into play. The guy I usually rap with is currently in jail…no i’m not a bad guy or a “thug” at all, I just love doing it. Him and I are very different, but have managed to be friends a long time.

I also drum for a rock band with my bro, after 2 so-so producers, hopefully we’ll end up with someone good and get something WE like out (they try to change it up etc).

When i’m in the 240, I usually end up listening to my own stuff to enjoy and critique it.

That said, I like Green Day, Billy Talent, Matt Good for rock and Kool G. Rap/B.I.G./Eightball & MJG stuff for rap…not much else.

Yeah let me know when you have converted to MP3s. Not that much into the new DnB. Too dark and industrial for me. I like the ragga touch.
Illfingas was pretty good, along with the other T.O locals like Marcus, Capital J and the MC Friendly Man.

Used to be acquainted with Ganja Smile Productions, and they threw alot of good parties. Dunno what they are up to now.

Have been a member of Drum and Bass Arena since 1998. :wink: I’m ol’ skool mang.
