Distance - Traffic

[@KialSubPressure]

This was released as a single in 2006 on Planet Mu with 'Cyclops' on the flip. It was only on the CD version of My Demons, but not on the 2x12 LP vinyl release of My Demons. :) One of the first Dubstep vinyls I ever bought!

[@imperfectclark]

I had never heard anything quite like it and still not sure I have.

[@fattypark]

One track that's guaranteed to get me stoked every time. Love the trancey stabs. Aggressive as hell, progresses perfectly. One of many top productions from Distance, who made some of the defining tunes of that era.

[@insolence]

I've been listening to that perfection for almost 9 years now. The concentrated aggression of a machine that does not stop until even the quantums are destroyed. I'm in heaven.

[@seanpatterson9438]

I used to listen to this song back when I was just out of high school. I remember getting high in my shed in the backyard, putting on my over the ear headphones and repeating this song over and over again. Often skipping to the middle of the song, pushing the headphones closer to my ears. Imagining cool things in my mind to go along with the music. Like a car drifting around a corner real nice or something. Fuckin weird shit looking back. Maximum nerd. I still love the music but like goddam.

[@Komodo1312]

Lol i used to imagine visuals when i was a stoned teenager listening to 2006-2009 era dubstep too!

[@Uvisir]

ha ha ha we did exactly the same

[@heidibenner1577]

Wow, Distance never fails to amaze me! This is what really good dubstep sounds like.

[@ZjawbreakerZ]

This is exactly how dubstep should always have stayed like.

[@VCJS31]

+1000

[@clampsample]

You're so right. Emptier and yet fuller

[@pakistasikalfa]

nothing should stay the same forever, its a contradiction to evolution.

[@SLRTD]

its right here

[@Neoisthesound]

Not the corest of roots, drum programming is very fast and sparse, more leaned towards rock itself. This is very skeletal hardcore bass music. Just not my tempo for dubstep, I’m sure the old heads could see why I’d take the angle.

[@musicalmusicianguy]

This is one of my favorite tracks of all time. Unbelievably well done. Timeless.

[@crimsonwinter4736]

Still kickin' it in 2020. Beast !

[@Onshell]

How awesome is this tune. It pounds your brain into a mush.

[@mindscan420]

always loved this track man, Proxima's new stuff reminds me of it a lot

[@RiscTerilia]

I think that all these screaming mid range kids that have pretty much taken over dubstep now started out listening to records like this and really not understanding that it isn't just random synth scream sounds but a carefully thought out progression and melodies combined with a sick filtered midbass

[@Cleesp]

more of distance, scream, DJG, SPL [who also does drum and bass], Mala, Coki, Icicle, Hatcha, Swindle, Silkie, Quest, Commodo, SP:MC, LX One, Lost, Tunnidge, Babylon System, etc. Start from there, and keep searching deep. You'll find some good shit.

[@Moonlight-Charm]

tehfaceguy 10x bro

[@BloodOfTartaros]

And Goth-Trad. Never forget Goth-Trad.

[@musicalmusicianguy]

Cleesp spaceape and kode9!

[@giovanniprovost]

add seven to this list

[@VII0777]

Oh man, changed the rhythm at just the right moment at 1:38. Perfect timing! Great feel.

[@LiftingPeanuts]

THIS TUNE MAKES ME GURN Distance's set at Dirty South last night teared it up man! Seriously insane set! he is an EVEN BETTER DJ than Producer DISTANCE IS A BADMAN!!!

[@donskelo]

the soundtrack of my life.

[@FeekyChucker]

This is a different type of Dubstep that I've ever heard, it's a little more upbeat... I LIKE IT

[@shukterhousejive]

Love the industrial sound in this, gives it a good hard edge

[@DeepEndDUBSTEP]

@NeverSTFUproductions Can't agree with you more. I think that picture captures the essence of the music better than any other album's music/cover.

[@Johnmichael19]

New to distance. Loving everything he makes

[@stuffanthings]

This was the first Dubstep track I was ever shown and still my favourite

[@306Bloodline]

so here it was, 2009. when limewire was at its end. downloaded a shit ton of dubstep artists in one file. this song stayed with me since than. I banged to this song, so therefore. it's a classic to me.

[@TheDJkarsy]

Each to their own man. You cant compare 2 masters like that, they're both very different

[@alvinlepik5265]

I first heard this in the breeezeblock set, 12? years ago. Sheesh

[@dankcro]

Distance, officially the sickest

[@moyaoo1]

can see the cars hear the noise smell the exhaust this is dope

[@ZaccariahMusic]

What an actual fucking tune

[@NeverSTFUproductions]

The album cover pretty much sums it up.

[@DjWellDressedMan]

That grinding bass line keeps me young

[@chaostic84]

badass..

[@winterblink8495]

@Rhododendronpunktcry i first heard this song in a mary anne hobbs mix some years ago with her talking over this song. gave me shivers.

[@TheDuttzz]

@RiscTerilia you win the internets sir....so true

[@KushBudflood]

such a beastin tune man

[@MillerHighLifez420]

this song BLOWS my mind

[@JafuProductions]

[@AlvinWilliams407]

[@kocarevkocarevski7658]

I will forever be here, don't worry. I'm one of Distance's biggest fans.

[@d3v1z0r]

++ me too

[@ffbounty]

true haven´t been here in years, i remember someone making a videoclip for this tune with clips from the movie traffic (1971 by jacques tati or something). But i cant seem to find that anymore which is really shit because it was a great clip. has any of you seen it and know where to find it? ty

[@kocarevkocarevski7658]

ffbounty No, I'm only hearing for the existence of such a video only now.

[@bobojoe145]

Been on this shit since 2010.. your not alone in these here comments

[@alilruthlessify]

10 Tons heavy compilation cd has many of these great songs if anyone is interested in checking that out. Ive searched and searched for 20 Tons Heavy but cannot find it anywhere!! Ive looked for years.

[@NoRainNoRainbow98]

Me and girlfriend are going to notate this, and turn this into a guitar rendition.

[@ivanstrangelove]

is distance still producing? i love my demons and magnesium is he doing a followup any time?

[@dimonoid86]

Real cool Dubstep!

[@9Tstep]

I fing love this tune !!!!

[@Nekminute]

[@OMGlvl86turtlepilot]

distance is so refreshing after listening to so much of the same dubstep! much more progression an originality!

[@Rhododendronpunktcry]

2:24 is godlike!

[@MartianMoon]

2019 gaNG!

[@peeterpakiraam6454]

Distance is just fking out of his mind :/ In a good way ofcourse. Luv this tune.

[@slassy]

[@foofylaa1]

This is the big one.

[@mikepro500]

The bassline rhythm is from neurofunk, i heard very similar beats on neurofunk too. :P

[@kootta24]

He started from neurofunk and jungle

[@tuomasheikkinen9251]

Yes. Drum & Bass and old dubstep have something in common for sure!

[@TKONESOCK]

for some reason whenever i drive this is the first song i put on, ironic. such a good tune

[@ltech12]

Oh baby!

[@DerPavianAdrian]

thank you sir. Because ive stumbled upon your comment i remind myselfe on the website stumbleupon

[@billyshivers]

about ten tons of bass by far the heavy of all heavy song

[@RBDUB12]

its all about nero..pure sickness in the game !!!!!

[@DjGobbly]

THAT BASS

[@GutiProducer]

that bass synth is NASTY

[@movingstair]

[@tsohmas]

i agree 100000%

[@cronicmaster420]

EPIC

[@SpaceCadet1]

Pretty sure it's just the right speed, sounds just fine.

[@Mikeruma]

@HandOfQuaid its ambient but listen to whatever you want

[@NeverSTFUproductions]

@HeroDUBSTEP Whoah. Whoah whoah whoah.

[@0solidk0]

if Devil was walking on earth this song will be played

[@olhedeus]

does that &fmt=18 shit do anything? sounds the same to me

[@ivanstrangelove]

@NoRainNoRainbow98 yeah i hear you but the tonality is more bass guitar than low tuned guitar, but id sound cool either way.

[@maroosia]

this is what the fuck im talking about holy shit

[@Scython01]

1 word Gritty

[@UksiHattu12]

#dubstep #sick #datdrop

[@igottmituns]

@Neod101 lol that was a good trick a few years ago

[@NoRainNoRainbow98]

@ivanstrangelove Well, it would be a cover, not a remake. I just think it would be fun to play it on guitar.

[@kax79]

epic

[@RiscTerilia]

Find bunzer0's blog, any of his radio shows are good

[@NoRainNoRainbow98]

@ivanstrangelove I play a 7 string in dropped tunings, so I would probably do it lower anyways

[@ValentineNation]

@rageagainst89 I concur!

[@HeroDUBSTEP]

Distance>Burial

[@anythingelseplease]

A Sub-woofer makes this song 100X better.

[@y0Kentish]

djdistance search his channel he has dubstep tutorials on there:P

[@olhedeus]

@kax79 crazy fat blunt filled with hashish so i can feel the beat in my soul, darkest shades on with smoke wifting out my my mouth, eyes as red as my blood
