For some one who listened to Ed Rush, Photek, Dillinja and Goldie during the day
Any modern DnB worth listening too?

Mampi Swift – his own tunes and his DJ sets. I’ve seen the guy on four turntables a bunch of times. Absolute DnB wizard.

Kid Drama has done some stuff in the last few years thats quite influenced by late 90s ed rush & optical but with a totally different vibe to it
dBridge is still putting out hella innovative tunes, his latest release is insane
just one tune but digital & jon b - moruga was a totally unexpected collab that absolutely slaps
not modern day but there’s loads of great underrated & unknown gems from the 90s being uploaded to youtube, often stuff that’s never been sold on digital and was hard to get even back then. unexplored dnb and rootzdnb are great channels on youtube for that.

Yeah @dBridge is doing great work. I love nearly everything on his Exit Records label too (especially the Exit 100 compilation series, not all d&b but if you liked Photek etc back in the day you’ll probably dig it).
Seba has been putting out some great tracks and has a new album coming out, really love the single Smoke off it: Oni | Seba | Spearhead Records
love Paradox

The album this is from is mad underrated - from 2018 I think.
Unfortunately Amoss ceased being a duo after that, and although the remaining guy makes great techy club tunes, they aren’t as deep or home listening friendly.
Amoss has some great sample packs too.

Also, I feel like Blocks & Escher should have been my first answer to this thread.

Ray Keith of chopper fame from back in the day does a weekly set that spreads across all styles but really gets going on the nasty stuff. He has plenty to say on what’s good and bad these days as well and plays lots of current stuff. https://www.youtube.com/live/nAxkJQ74dIA?si=0nBGfhMXrIVntAP4
Tim Reaper produces and spins new but classic sounding jungle/d&b, you can smell the sputnik as soon as you press play.

For me, this small label (I think from Poland) has been absolutely killing it, both in mixes and releases.

I still havent found dnb that resonates w me like wormhole did back in the day tbh, id love some grimy productions, a lot of the stuff i find thats supposed to be in the same vein is way too clean sounding imo
