Drum n Bass

So I've been discovering lately how awesome drum n bass is and I want some, but I have no idea where to look. Where does one get drum n bass? What drum n bass does one listen to? Is it drum n bass or drum and bass?

WELL?

DnB, Drum And Bass, Drum 'n' Bass, and Jungle are all acceptable terms for the genre.

There's a great Dnb internet radio found here:
http://www.bassdrive.com


Here are some artists that I highly recommend searching for (on your LEGAL mp3 acquisition software, that is ;) )

-Pendulum
-Freestylers
-Thievery Corporation
-High Contrast
-Concord Dawn
-Aquasky
-DJ Fresh
-DJ Crystl
-MC Tali

Another thing you can usually find on p2p searches that are probably a lot more legal than downloading the original track are entire mixes, similar to what you would find listening to BassDrive. I have some of these mixes that range anywhere from 25 minutes to 4 hours. Just do some searches (searching for Pendulum will likely bring up some of these mixes).

I also highly recommend checking out this "Guide to Electronic Music" that my buddy decoy sent me. It has multiple examples for each type of genre and is a very complete reference. It is pretty biased towards the author's opinion, though usually agreeably so.

That is way too complicated. Now I'm afraid I'm going to piss someone off just by mentioning a single genre.
