Serene Saturday : Netsky, Pendulum and Subfocus.

      This dictionary that I'm looking at for inspiration defines "serene" as the calm in the midst of trouble. To me thats what serenity is, the place of calm that you can find even during your times of stress and worry. Many people have different ways of calming down, to me its to either shut down completely and unplug, or plug in and focus on a task, get out and do something that I want to do. So today I went and had a browse around at a few items that I have had lined up for a while, some pretty dangerous but fun stuff.  I also took some time to volunteer at the local museum and help them with some tech problems in their theatre. All the while I had my headphones in and nothing helps me focus more than drum and bass. So whether speed helps you focus, or not, read on for some of my favourite fast paced saturday music.

      To lead us on todays adventure we first call upon Belgium's finest, 21 year old Boris Daenen, A.K.A Netsky. Drawing his inspiration from the computer virus by the same name Netsky has been dominating the drum and bass scene for years, signing with many major labels and touring the world. Netsky earned a nomination as "Best Upcoming Producer" at the Drum and Bass Arena Awards in 2008 and fulfilled this ambition two years later with "Best Newcomer Producer" award in 2010. His self-titled album confirmed his midas touch to the world and earned him the limelight he deserves. Delivering a sucker punch of fast paced beats, hard hitting synthesizers and varying vocals his album is well worth the listen and the dig for more.

     Our second band today is from Perth, Australia, Pendulum. Starting off as a three piece unit and over time upgrading to six members and dropping an album that conquered the world of drum and bass. 

     "We want our music to be an escape. While technology continues to constantly advance production techniques and (arguably) sound quality, something has been lost in the process - that original sense of self-escape, the idea of leaving yourself open to experience something you don't necessarily find in every-day life. That was the energy we picked up on and liked about electronic music when we first got 

into it."

     That energy has most assuredly been transfered to their album Immersion and their latest tour. They toured with great bands such as Hadouken! and Does it Offend you? Yeah! Their album not only showcases their skills with drum and bass but with breakbeat and even metal, when they feature In Flames. So grab it here thanks to the beauty of mediafire and turn it up.

     Our last artist is Sub Focus, a drum and bass, house and dubstep artist from London, England. His music is infectious and judging from his live shows, is capable of shaking the floor and everyone on it. The self tilted album....

...is a tough one to find links for. Originally I had to run a torrent for it, and with my horrible internet, torrents are an occasion. In fact a lot of the songs from this album made their way onto multiple mixtapes and playlists for my friends and parties. The amazing part about electronic music these days is the ability to shape your own music and create your own sub-genres. Nick Douwma's Sub Focus definitely combines his roots in house music with the popularity of dubstep and the pace of drum + bass. So set your sights and run, this will get your blood pumping.
