Drum and Bass

About

Drum and bass is a dynamic electronic music genre that originated in the UK during the early 1990s. It evolved from the breakbeat hardcore and jungle scenes, characterized by fast-paced drum patterns, typically between 165-185 BPM, and heavy basslines. The genre incorporates elements from various musical styles, including reggae, dub, hip-hop, and jazz, making it highly diverse and influential. Drum and bass has spawned numerous subgenres, such as techstep, neurofunk, liquid funk, and jump-up, each with distinct sounds and influences. The genre's evolution has been shaped by notable artists like Goldie and LTJ Bukem, who contributed to its global popularity. Drum and bass continues to inspire new generations of producers and listeners, maintaining a strong presence in both underground clubs and mainstream culture.
