Drum & Bass: The Movement - A D&B Documentary

20 years that changed our lives: Presenting our feature-length documentary - Drum & Bass: The Movement - capturing a specific and intense slice of drum & bass culture’s rapid acceleration from 1996 - 2016. Brought to you by Drum&BassArena, featuring Goldie, Andy C, Roni Size, DJ Flight, Grooverider, Ed Rush & Optical, Mefjus, Friction, El Hornet, Chase & Status and many more, as well as exclusive unseen footage from our scene’s rich history.
Drum & Bass: The Movement explores how a unique UK club culture rose from the underground to become a global phenomenon infiltrating and influencing disciplines from mainstream pop music to video games. From dubplates to mainstream crossovers, to some of the labels, tracks and clubs that helped shape the scene, Drum & Bass: The Movement is a snapshot of D&B and how it’s always been much more than a genre of dance music: it’s a lifestyle. The movement continues...

[@naughtymonkey1563]

@@dirtmansdnbplaylists250 Because, originally, before the current generation of producers relegated the beats to a mere vehicle for delivering the rest of the track, the tunes were about phat breakbeats and big bass. The drums were the most prevalent component of the mix, in addition to the bass which came from the dub and reggae influence provided by techno DJs like Grooverider and Carl Cox who started mixing these kinds of tunes with the breaks in to their sets around 1990/ 91, giving rise to breakbeat hardcore. Drums and Bass... then dudes like DJ Trace, Ed Rush & Optical started putting a lot of midrange in to their tunes further in to the 90s, in an effort to make tunes that sounded as good on people's home stereos as they did on big night club PAs. But it was always the drums and the bass first...

as a metal musician I can tell that drum and bass reaches into multiple subcultures. Including rock metal etc. Also my local drum and bass community is a bunch of awesome people and they drop some sick parties.

Now 54. ~5 years ago I went with my daughter, wife and some of daughter's friends to a dance. A friend asked her if her parents won't leave, if we weren't a bit too old? It was clear that it was her intention we hear. The rebuttal was absolute fantastic, I heard her say, "he was the first to play D&B in this city, in the year I was born! If anybody has the right to be here then it is him and he will dance his ass of tonight. Try to catch up, I bet you can't!" I was quiet surprised, that was so nice. Wife is a dance instructor, has killer moves and styles, mixing in swing and modern dance. The kid who asked her left after a short while without goodbye. I don't know if she was just too shy or too embaressed she was with us old farts, but no one seemed to care.

Words born from love for dnb: I definitely can sympathize with dnb as a place of refuge. As a 15 year outsider in a remote part of Holland (Groningen) dnb was my portal out of mundanity. A portal to an exciting musical realm, with a sound just as vicious as it could be gentle and warm. Truly something I could dream away on AND bounce away thru my room with. When I started to hear LTJ Bukem and early Total Science records in 99 on late night radio - just before they released "Advance" - it changed me. Turned out to be the 16th birthday present from my older brother and i was so f*cking proud to possess that record. But hell was I shy on my first parties a few years later, still used to the local clubs I first started partying, where they mainly played charts music for drunk teenagers. My first dnb party I just shyly sat at the sides myself, but it was an eyeopener nonetheless, with so many of the partygoërs actually involved in dancing instead of loafing around the sides. Lots of smiles, jogging pants and girls with no makeup. I also - and still, raving at 35 -found out i just f*cking love to dance to it. It's helped me over social anxiety and is an immediate access to activating my energy, to get comfortable in my own skin. So in that sense this documentary hit home with me with it's emotional finish. Dnb is a celebration of lives and we're all invited.

@@EdiDrums "keep die-hard listeners and producers" Your argument brushes aside quality and impact. Dnb as I/we knew it two decades ago is dead, the one of today is a cruel mockery of it. There's no diversity, no experimentation. I've clicked through 60 new ones on a major label's channel and they all sound smell and feel the same. I could continue ranting and comparing, but you get my point anyway. There's only a handful of tracks produced in the last decade that worth the listen

@@3goats1coat I don't follow the scene like you seem to so can't comment, but I'm sure many many people agree with you and I hope that some of them were at least born after about 1986.

Thanks to everyone commenting and sharing their views 💛 The reaction has been a testament to the huge and lasting impact of all the artists and labels involved, and the passion of their fans, and we have nothing but respect for that. We’re just fans ourselves, too. We salute our scene’s pioneers - who have built the foundations, and who continue to push this music into the future - whether featured in the documentary or not. Our original intention was to highlight the love and passion people have for this music, and we’ve achieved that. We hope this film can be used as a starting point, as there are so many crucial stories - that have already been told, and that are yet to surface - about our scene’s rich history. One love.

Drum & Bass is literally the BEST thing to happen to me in 20yrs! There's nothing better than to have Synesthesia & THEN discover DnB!

But if you DO take a dose of a visual-inducing substance then you would never see a more beautiful abstract visualization.

[@neilvinyl]

Lots more to be told, great film. Lots of faces & memories from the past. Making an old man smile here in Tenerife. A long way from the days of Noel Newton teaching me how to get the cuts right for Vinyl Distribution - Basement. Music house deservedly gets a mention but the scene owes credit to some great engineers out there. Stewart Hawkes had to be the most prolific D 'n' B cutting engineer, & George Lambert all the late dub plate nights at Copymasters / Masterpiece. Shout to Shane at Heathmans. And Brillo at Timeless Recordings who was smart enough to take me down to Speed one night so I could see what the scene was about & hear a good cut next to a bad one. Great days indeed. Nice to see Mampi Swift, Ray Keith & Clayton Hines also - 3 absolute gentlemen. I'll always be grateful to have worked on some amazing music for so many of these artists. Hype Zinc & Pascal - Tru Playaz. Cutting Pendulum's "Spiral" for Timeless, Chase & Status having their first Renegade release cut with me, great days. Cheers - let me know when your doing the sequel - I got some stories for you!!

[@legaltenderradfem]

I knew nothing about this musical subculture. I'm not a fan of music with a high BPM myself, but the docu is interesting and very immersive sound-wise. Almost exhausting to watch if like me, the high BPM jumps at you and makes you feel like you're caught into a high speed pursuit :P I respect the skill. One thing that is commendable is how this crowd doesn't seem to be very branded or have a dress style; they all look very normal, you can't read their musical style on their sleeve. Another thing I noticed is that it doesn't seem to be a very sexualized crowd; the women dress normally too. But I like to learn about things I know nothing about. A well made docu.

[@ThisIsDownstate]

wicked. thanks so much for making this. When the dude from pendulum said 'if you hear someone play a record in the club that you can't buy, i can't see how that was beneficial in any way' it struck a cord with me. I totally disagreed tbh, the music then was so, idk how to explain it, there was a mystery to it. Hear someone drop an absolute tune in a club and everyone's looking in the booth to see what it was and its just a white label with 3 letters on it, trying to guess who it was by etc And then the fucking moment of finding that tune in the record shop a month or two later !!! Text your mates like I found THE tune, its by so-and-so and its called '...........'. Brag to your mates that you got the last copy left haha those times were fucking magic and its why those tunes and the memory of finding them and playing them for the first time literally give me goosebumps.. But i do see his point i guess if you're wanting to be a dj, for us we weren't trying to become dj's professionally, we just mixed records all day everyday at home and made mix-tapes. This documentary brought back some wonderful memories !

[@AlegriaDNB]

While you can argue about the musical aspect of Pendulum's impact on DNB, I actually agree with El Hornet on this one. I can see how nostalgia can help you romanticise that aspect of the dubplate culture and the mystery behind the music, but the accessibility means that crowds can get more educated on the music (ergo, more and better reactions when they hear these tunes come into the mix in a club), they can buy it because now they'll KNOW what to buy (and thus support the artists and labels that are putting them out). While I think the entire "letting tunes build up / build into anthems" aspect of the dubplate culture got lost for the most part due to how entitled people listening to online mixes are (as soon as they hear something they demand to be able to have it there and then, which made bullshit like radio embargos start happening with promos,), I really think moving onto digital has beneffited the scene in many ways. Nobody says you still can't buy vinyl, cut dubplates or play them out and celebrate that aspect of the DJ craft. But making it a bit more accessible and leveling the playing field is beneficial to the scene IMO. Now there's the aspect of quality control on the A&R/label side, but that's another story, that's been an issue back in the vinyl days as well anyway ;)

[@soundsunscene7450]

Agree that comment was absolutely mortifying I hardly imagine any Dj over 40 years old could respect him saying that. The whole point was for a Dj to have a track no one else had and for the crowd to want a certain Dj to come on as they had the freshest tunes .. and then to go to the record store and try and find the tune if maybe 10 copies floated around town / to denounce the whole Dj and record store culture is shameful

[@simonfester]

The dub plate culture was a good thing back in the day, as it meant the DJ’s had their own style, not everyone had the same dubs to play out. Shout out to Kenny Ken!!
