Catching Up With A Month of D&B

Having been outta the country for a while, I've returned to the UK to find my computer crammed full of podcasts and various other mixes that have stacked up during my absence, some of which are so good I've gotta share the love:

• As usual, the Hospital Records Podcast is bloody marvellous, and it's always good when Tony Coleman goes off on a rant: http://podcast.hospitalrecords.com/HospitalRecordsPodcast.xml
• Fairly new to the scene, the Shogun Audio Podcast, hosted by Friction, is also worth subscribing to: http://www.shogunaudio.co.uk/podcast.xml
• Random Movement keeps things deep, with a lot less chatter: http://www.randommovement.org/
• Lifted Music also have their own podcast if you like your D&B dark, sweary and from Harpenden: http://www.liftedmusic.co.uk/podcast
• On a similar tip, there's the Black Sun Empire podcast. Always worth a punt, especially if you like NeuroDubstep for some reason: http://www.blacksunempire.com/
• Spearhead Records chief BCee is currently putting out a sort of monthly podcast on behalf of digital music provider Juno: http://www.junodownload.com/plus/category/podcasts/
• John B has also been running his podcast for ages. Grab it here for some high quality electro-tinted drum and bass music: http://www.johnbpodcast.com/

As for old-fashioned, "radio-casts" or whatever they're called, the Radio 1 D&B Show with Fabio and/or Grooverider is usually fairly enjoyable (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00948qq). Guest mixes can usually be found ripped and uploaded to dodgy Russian D&B websites shortly after the broadcast. However, it's not a patch on Nerm's old Electro East show on the BBC Asian Network, which was sadly dropped at the start of this year.

Also, Ministry of Sound have started a Monday night D&B show with Hospital Records, Metalheadz and Artificial Intelligence taking turns at hosting. Listen to it here: http://www.ministryofsound.com/radio/artist/DrumBass
