I occasionally write long posts but you should assume I'm talking out of my ass until proved otherwise. I do like writing shit sometimes.
50/50 chance of suit pictures end up here or on the Art Directory account. Good luck.
Be 18+ or be gone you kids act fuckin' weird.

At any given moment I am likely listening to incredibly sick drum and bass, or at least something that sounds kinda like that.
Please ask me about it I wish to spread this wonderful music far and wide because no one in my spheres listens to this kinda stuff and it's a shame.
Whatever kind of drum and bass you're thinking of, it's probably not that.
they did not need to go as hard as they did on the bomberman hero soundtrack
the original composer to a lot of bomberman games has the OST to Bomberman Hero in higher quality for free on her soundcloud, fun note. https://soundcloud.com/junechikuma/sets/bomberman-hero-june-chikuma
Thank you! I've had that soundtrack on my mind especially recently since I preordered the vinyl for it which I'm super excited to get.
When most people think drum and bass they think "oh like in forza horizon" not "oh like in bomberman hero"
I don't wanna falsely advertise and have someone out here expecting Hospital Records when I send them Just Another Label.
I was thinking Pendulum or the jungle tracks peppered throughout older games. I'd love more recommendations.
Hello I have not forgotten about this. TL;DR click the links.
So, all of this I think some people would qualify as "drum and bass" depending on how loose their definition is. I just kinda interchangeably call it all "jungle" or "hardcore" depending on how much the song has going on and my mood. But genre names are dumb, label names I find tend to be more accurate a description at the expense of asking the listener for more legwork.
If you'd like some Proper Jungle, but produced recently, Tim Reaper has been spitting fire for some years now. He's also very prolific, so there's plenty to dig and find. Future Retro is a label he runs IIRC, and he does tons of collabs here. Track 3 is my fave on this release but this release, and basically everything on here I've heard, is sick.

Pete Cannon is another new producer that's been doing all kinds of crazy shit. If you don't mind some screen flashing, he has a youtube channel where he'll show all the old derelict electronics that he makes tunes with, and that people would use back in the day. His output ranges between Jungle and Hardcore (, the breakbeat kind, but not "breakbeat hardcore"... just think "hardcore" if you hear a piano, ok?), and usually smashes it with most of his stuff. Some of his earlier work is now available digitally over at kniteforce, like this one:

Kniteforce has a TON of stuff, by the way. The previews are cropped very nicely and it's great to just parooze and listen to previews all day. They've been around since 1993 in some capacity or another and a fair bit of that, particularly stuff from the past five years or so, is very good. A few picks from there:
"What does 'hardcore' sound like anyway?" https://kniteforcerevolution.com/store/product/kniteforce-presents-legends-vs-legends-volume-1-digital
"No that sucks give me some jungle" They occasionally do represses/re-releases of old classics https://kniteforcerevolution.com/store/product/nutty-bass-ill-be-there-ep-digital
"No I want more rave stabs and it to be mixed" Can't rec this highly enough https://kniteforcerevolution.com/store/product/all-the-rave-1991-double-album-digital
If you like buying vinyl... well they're probably the best single place to look for vinyl releases that sound like this. But if you see the "we're helping friends sell this" note on a release, then that label probably has a bandcamp you can look up, sometimes with digital downloads available. The downside is, a lot of stuff in this sphere is vinyl only, which kinda sucks. But it keeps enough money flowing for more music to come out.
Unfortunately my knowledge is more looking for songs to mix rather than listening to mixes, so my knowledge of good mixes (that I didn't make for myself...) is limited. But I think the internet will pull up mixes for you if you search for artists nowadays. Pete Cannon and Tim Reaper both have some good'ns on youtube for sure.
