check out stuff from about 1994 till 1996 or 97, for a time it seemed like every drum n bass tune that came out was amazing, after that everything sounded the same. to be honest i find it really weird that people still listen to it, and are getting into it now. to me it seems so much like a product of it's place and time that there's almost no reason to listen to it now aside from nostalgia, and unless you were growing up in or around london or bristol in the 90s then you wouldn't be nostalgic for it.
anyway

there were so many good DJs back then, i think all the same guys are still around now, but they're all rubbish.
i guess my favourite DnB tunes that i can still remember, would be
origin unknown - valley of the shadows
ganja kru - super sharp shooter
renegade - terrorist
dj krust - warhead
photek - rings around saturn
the only drum n bass that has really stood the test of time for me is photek, pretty much everything he did was great.
