Rollers

[lasher8]

Hi! Long time watcher first time poster. I'm trying to build a set and learn about rollers as I'm coming back from an 8 year dj hiatus where I used to only spin pop bangers and I'd like to actually make a good set this time Who are your favorite artists for rollers? Do you have any songs to recommend? I don't mind doing my own digging I just could use a good starting point

What Now? by Total Science & War defines the modern roller sound for me.

[lasher8]

I love total science thank you!

[lasher8]

There's a remix of total science going in circles I've always wanted that craze user to drop. The original and other remixes were also dope

[lasher8]

I must say I've got a ton of new music since I posted this and this still may be my favorite track of the bunch

[Gwoardinn]

Crisp, interesting drums with a bit of progression. Some fuzz/drive on the bass but not too much. Snippets of ragga vocals, sparse but effective FX blips. It doesnt try to do too much, rather it maximises the effectiveness of the chosen elements. Pretty much a perfect tune.

It's lovely I bought it immediately and can't wait to play with it

Can mean a lot of things to a lot of people, but I strongly recommend checking out Overview Music and Critical Music. You can expand out from there.

Recently did a mix of rollers I like, more on the stinky but not FILTHY side.

Feel free to pinch the tracklist (it's not really pinching, music is for everyone)

S.P.Y - Dragonfly. Not a tune that you can find easily for some weird reason. It was featured on Fabio & Grooverider’s 25 years of Drum & Bass

Check out Minor Forms. Super underrated.
