OK, I understand frequency crossover and trying to avoid this with pitch/Eqing/panning/compression etc. There is very little room for both so most of what I've learned in DnB is that the kick (without sub) is placed a little higher then the sub-bass in the mix. However, I'm hearing allot of subby kicks in DnB lately and struggle to get them sounding good along side a sub bassline.
So how do you get a very heavy subby kick sound in there also (without using side chaining)?

not an illusion mate, its the magic of sidechaining!
and after some careful analysis, its more like highpass 60hz i reckon...
altho tbh it should differ depending upon the tune and it's bassline.
edit]: ok i just read ur post properly
WITHOUT sidechaining I'd have to say a bit of dynamic eq-age could achieve a similar effect, and maybe some parrallel compression to give the drums more 'weight' without increasing the volume too much.

pretty much what i thought that phace do as their kicks seem to be trigering the subz. when i tried doing that with sidechain it sounded weirdd tho
Even if it's an acoustic kick, if you compress it enough, the fundamental will come out as a steady bass "note." With an assortment of different tuned kicks you can make a kick with the texture of a regular one and the oomph of a bass note. This is especially popular in hip hop.
This is especially easy when layering acoustic kicks with electronic ones (I.E., 808/909 kicks).
Or if you're talking about the subass and the kicks seeming as if they are one, it's how the subass is layered with the kicks...IMO the best way to mix subass is to layer an 808 (or regular sine-ish subass for that matter) under the kick, the same way you would mix any other, so their punch and "oomph" combines into one. I hear this a lot with noisia, such as Block Control or End Game.

yes you could use those, just suggest the opposite!
and with sytrus you can do a pitch envelope with a sine wave that kind of looks like this picture down here...and that will emulate the thumping of a kick
put em together and you get that subby bass kick without rumble.
i did for a time highpass mine at 110 in camelphat and then reintroduced the sub with the magic eq- can work... i dont have ahard and fast appraoch any more except highpassing around 50 and using some kind of decimator
