Dogs On Acid

[10] The Grid (Production side) holds monthly Q&A Sessions where posters and members ask questions to notable producers and artists.

The drum and bass group Pendulum started much of their activity on DOA, before and during their time being signed to Breakbeat Kaos (BBK), posting on the board and helping other producers on production forum the 'Grid'.

Following the success of Pendulum's Slam and Hold Your Colour, Fresh decided to release a compilation CD entitled Jungle Sound Gold Edition.

[16] – Pendulum This is one of the few threads that caused uproar within the forum and gained over a thousand replies & 141,000 views in the space of four weeks from Rob's post.

On 18 June 2007, Fresh released Pendulum's last 12" single: Blood Sugar / Axle Grinder along with a special edition ‘Hold Your Colour’ CD.

[18] Although Pendulum (which at that time included Rob Swire, Paul Harding and Gareth McGrillen) felt the forum began to become negative and cut ends with BBK & Fresh, they continued posting on the portal.

Although the album was highly successful the band continued to receive heavy sarcasm and accusations for killing the genre from various members, described by the board as "haters".

As the album continued to do well in the mainstream (including Propane Nightmares peaking at #9 in the UK Singles Chart) the band continued to be criticised by DnB enthusiasts, to the point where in March 2009 the band were booed at the Drum and Bass awards from certain enthusiasts for "selling out" "sounding more rock and having a different style to their preceding album".
