Videodrone Presents A Drum & Bass Revival

No, the genre formerly known as jungle isn’t staging any sort of chart takeover. (Though d&b singles do pop up pretty regularly on the BBC Radio 1 Independent Label Top 30, not that this is any sort of real-world indicator of anything.) Nevertheless, this brief video places two latter-day drum & bass favorites (Konflict’s “Messiah” segueing into Bad Company’s “The Nine”) over shaky videocamera footage of a Holy Ghost Revival meeting. That footage, with its original soundtrack, is embedded after the jump, but the above remix is definitely the winner here, thanks to the dancers’ spirit-feeling moves not all that dissimilar to those of actual d&b ravers. Not to mention the awesome word balloons that pop up about halfway in.
