Drum and bass, Jungle, Jump up, Liquid, Neuro – whatever you call it, is firmly cemented in the music world sharing an international fan base. Having been around for almost a quarter of a century in one form or another, the sound is still going strong.

In the late 1980′s, Electronic and Acid House music morphed into the more generic Rave name and exploded in popularity. Rave, or Hardcore as it was also known, united many elements of music into a new and exciting sound that appealed to youngsters en masse. Ultimately, in the early 90′s, Rave began to segment and split into sub genres, these genres included Happy Hardcore, Jungle and Techno. Happy Hardcore is easily definable, due to its upbeat nature, fast 4/4 drum patterns, a vocal waxing lyrical about love/romance and uplifting melodies, and later being more influenced by European sounds. Jungle on the other hand, is much darker, less vocal inspired and more bass heavy. More importantly, the beat was broken, and syncopated, and rearranged into a myriad of patterns. The speed of the tracks can be anywhere from 150bpm to 180bpm and even beyond.

The sampling of old funk and soul breaks played an important part, but arguably none as important as the Amen break, from the Winstons track, Amen Brother, released in 1969. This break still enjoys regular usage today in 2013, and it is not just limited to Jungle/D&B, it can also be found much slower in hip hop tracks and even in dubstep. It was Hip Hop which highlighted how the break could be used, tracks such as Straight Outta Compton by NWA for example, and it was also used heavily in Rave music.Jungle elevated the break to a new status and it became the staple go to. Artists such as Dillinja soon started chopping and reprogramming the break and laying 808 bass hits on top to make such classics as Baby Your and The Angels Fell. Other notable beat masters from that era include Photek, Goldie and Remarc, although it should be noted there are many producers over the years who have contributed immensely.





There are also many record labels, who helped shape and influence the sound to where it is today. These include (but are not limited to ) Renegade Hardware, Suburban Base, Moving Shadow, Metalheadz, Ram Records and Playaz. Each of the mentioned labels have their own distinct style, and this is where the term Drum & Bass comes more into play as opposed to Jungle. Jungle underwent a transformation of its own and spawned off sub genres. These sub genres include Jump Up, Neuro, Liquid, Minimal, Hardstep, Darkstep, Ragga, Trancestep and more.

Covering the individual genres in depth would not be an easy task. They all have their own distinct nuances, and there are people out there who enjoy Jump Up but dislike Minimal and so on. The simple reason for this is that whilst two tracks can be classed as Drum & Bass, they can vary immensely in their sound. Jump Up is produced for the dancefloor, and is probably the least musical of the sub genres. It tends to not lean on the amen or other funk breaks, and opt for a more static ‘kick snare kick snare’ pattern. The bass is often harsh and digital and includes quotes from films or a very short vocal sample. It does however do what it says on the tin, and has a great fan base and can be found blasting out in clubs up and down the country.

Recent years have seen the progression of Liquid Drum & Bass from artists such as Danny Byrd, Netsky, Camo & Krooked and more. This is a lighter form of the music, and can be very musical in its approach. Tracks are often vocal led, and have a very polished finish. Critics class it the ‘pop’ music of Drum and Bass and indeed watered down Liquid type tracks have graced mainstream music charts. The amen break is used often but in a lighter manner.

Drum and Bass today is a real mix of subgenres, each sharing similar elements yet somehow unique in their sound, and this is one of it’s greatest strengths. What this really means, is that Drum & Bass is accessible, theres a genre for everyone from light and commercial to deep dark and dirty. Drum And Bass, a music for the people.
