Add to My Profile | More VideosDrum and bass is a genre of electronic music that rests on the foundation of the breakbeat – as opposed to the regular 4/4 beat adopted in house. Drum and bass is usually produced at a faster tempo than most other forms of electronic music (often in the range of 160-180 bpm). As the name of the genre implies, drums and bass lines are the most critical – though not the only – elements of the music.
There is considerable difference of opinion regarding the distinction between jungle and drum and bass. Many people use the terms interchangeably, but some consider the term jungle to refer to the music of the first half of the 90s. Others limit the scope of jungle to the ragga-flavored sub-style within the broader world of drum and bass.
The roots of drum and bass lie in a form of electronic music called "hardcore," which was born in the rave culture that emerged in Europe in the early 90s – especially in the United Kingdom (see the description of techno). At these raves, DJs began to play music that mixed reggae bass lines and fast breakbeats with production techniques common to house, techno, and other genres. As a result, a new style of music emerged called "jungle."There is considerable difference of opinion regarding the distinction between jungle and drum and bass. Many people use the terms interchangeably, but some consider the term jungle to refer to the music of the first half of the 90s. Others limit the scope of jungle to the ragga-flavored sub-style within the broader world of drum and bass.In the early 90s, jungle evolved in a direction away from techno and house and more toward reggae, dub, and hip hop. By the mid-90s, however, jungle was beginning to branch out in several different directions. One school of DJs and prodcuers began a movement toward "intelligent jungle," which retained the fast breakbeats of ragga-style jungle but emphasized atmospheric sounds and smoother basslines. At this same time, other DJs and producers were changing the ragga-style jungle to a harder percussive style known as "hardstep." Simultaneously, a third group of pioneers began to cultivate a style of jungle with more hip hop and funk influence, which became known as "Jump-Up."During 1996 and 1997, drum and bass was influenced by numerous other forms of music as it gained increasing popularity. While some producers and DJs were taking drum and bass in a lighter, more mainstream direction, others were pioneering a new style called "techstep." The musical elements of techstep were generally darker and more technical, often drawing from science fiction or anime themes. Techstep became a dominant form of drum and bass in the late 90s.In the new millenium, drum and bass has continued to diversify as new styles such as Liquid Funk (championed by Fabio) and Nu Jump Up have emerged and gained acceptance. Today, the popularity of drum and bass continues in numerous countries throughout the world – particularly in Europe, North America, and South AmericaYeaaaa!!
