Listening to DJ Cam’s early work, specifically The Beat Assassinated, which touched on a hard-driving electronic side of him that I hadn’t seen before, I’ve been inspired to introduce myself to the world of DnB. But I don’t really know where to start. Which works are representative of the genre? Put another way, if a friend asked you to introduce them to Drum n Bass, what albums would you burn them? ---

Check out The Art of Noise’s “[The Drum and Bass Collection](http://www.amazon.com/Drum-Bass-Collection-Art-Noise/dp/B000003MX8/sr=8-1/qid=1171147269/ref=sr_1_1/002-7415069-7012003?ie=UTF8&s=music)”. I really like Eye of a Needle, Yebo, Kiss, and Crusoe in particular on it. ---

Listen to BBC Radio 1 show “Fabio and Grooverider”, which starts in about 50 minutes time from this post. Here’s their homepage - [BBC Radio 1 - Fabio and Grooverider](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/fabioandgrooverider/) It streams worldwide and you can listen to the show for seven days after broadcast. I’m not a huge D’n’B fan, but that pair have been on the scene since it’s beginning. ---

Oh and the album that brought D’n’B to the semi-mainstream here is Goldie’s Timeless - particularly the (fucking awesome) track Inner City Life. ---

You might also like some of [Martyn Bennett’s](http://www.martynbennett.com/) works. Try the third video on [this](http://www.martynbennett.com/media_videoClips_01.html) page (Titled Glasgow King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut). That song is Spree off his album Hardland. It’s not an easy album to find anymore. It’s on my wish list. ---

Adding: You can listen to soundclips of some of the songs on his various albums on his site. This is how I know the name of the song in the video.
