I love the campiness of dnb videos. this one is quite funny and includes Pendulum at the end (coming out of store). This track actually made it into the UK Singles chart it was so popular!!

Pendulum is a drum and bass/breaks group from Perth, Australia. In 2003, the group relocated to the United Kingdom. They have no affiliation with the late 1990s Melbourne based electronic group of the same name who released the album 3 Knocks.

The group is comprised of Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillen and Paul Harding. In 2005 they released their debut album, Hold Your Colour. Critically, the album was well-received in both the United Kingdom and Australia. In addition, it was one of the biggest selling Drum and bass releases of all time. Pendulum have also collaborated with The Freestylers, releasing the single Fasten Your Seatbelt. MC Spyda and Tenor Fly also feature as vocalists on Tarantula. They are currently signed to the Breakbeat Kaos Records label.

The Pendulum sound is typically heavy beats accompanied by low, buzzing basslines, overlaid with epic synthesized leads. They've produced various remixes of other artists, the most well-known being their remix of "Voodoo People" by The Prodigy.

"Slam" is still their biggest hit to date, peaking at #34 in the UK Singles Chart after receiving substantial airplay from BBC Radio 1.

This video shows the absurdity and nobility of the "rave" movement. It doesn't matter if you're fat, skinny, athletic or out of shape. It doesn't matter if you are high, drunk, or sober. It doesn't even matter if you know how to dance. What matters is the music. What matters is dancing to the music.

When then guy hands our raver the water bottle is when it became clear to me. This video is about raving. Dancing not because it's cool, or because you're trying to get some ass, or to show off your dance moves. Dancing for yourself. Dancing to express your love of the music.

At the same time as showing how right this is, this video also demonstrates how patently ridiculous it is. "Oh so dancing your love of the music is so wonderful? What if it was a HUGE SHIRTLESS FAT GUY on the street corner!???"

Answer: Ridiculous.

But the truth is, I've been that fat guy. I've been the only one dancing at 10PM when the doors to the rave open. I've been the guy left at the end at 10AM, the only raver still going. I've been the guy who everybody kind of admires, but is also kind of creeped out by, or makes fun of. I'm the lanky guy with the big mad hatters hat who is completely sober but maybe just a little bit too hardcore to be healthy.
