Drum 'n' Bass, often abbreviated as DnB, is a genre of electronic music that emerged from the United Kingdom in the early 1990s. Here's a brief rundown of its history:
Origins (Late 1980s - Early 1990s):
Jungle: Drum 'n' Bass has its roots in the jungle scene, which was an evolution from breakbeat hardcore, a rave music style. Jungle was characterized by its use of breakbeats, dub reggae basslines, and samples from various sources including R&B, hip-hop, and soul.
Breakbeat Hardcore: This was the initial music scene where DJs and producers began experimenting with faster tempos, which would later lead to the development of jungle and DnB. Key influences included the speed garage, acid house, and techno movements.
Formation of Drum 'n' Bass (Mid-1990s):
Name and Style: The term "Drum 'n' Bass" was coined to describe a more refined and less chaotic sound compared to the earlier jungle. It focused on intricate drum patterns and deep, resonant basslines, usually at around 170-180 BPM.
Subgenres: As DnB developed, several subgenres emerged:
Jazzstep: Incorporating elements of jazz into DnB.
Techstep: A darker, more industrial sound with complex rhythms.
Liquid Funk: With a smoother, more melodic approach.
Artists and Labels: Influential figures include Goldie, LTJ Bukem, Photek, and labels like Metalheadz, Moving Shadow, and Good Looking Records. These artists and labels helped define and spread the DnB sound.
The Mid-1990s to Early 2000s:
Mainstream Exposure: Drum 'n' Bass began to get mainstream attention with tracks like Goldie's "Inner City Life" gaining radio play. The genre even influenced pop music, with artists like Björk collaborating with DnB producers.
Live Performances: The rise of live PA (Performance Artist) setups alongside traditional DJ sets meant producers could showcase their music live, which was a significant shift in electronic music performance.
2000s to Present:
Diversification: DnB continued to evolve with new subgenres like Neurofunk, focusing on futuristic, bass-heavy sounds, and Drumstep, which borrowed elements from dubstep.
Digital Age: The internet and digital music platforms allowed for easier distribution and global reach, leading to an international DnB scene. This period saw the rise of online mixes, streaming, and social media for promotion.
Revivals and Innovations: There have been several revivals of older DnB styles, mixed with contemporary production techniques. DnB artists continue to innovate, blending with other genres or using new technology for sound design.
Cultural Impact: DnB remains a significant part of UK club culture, with festivals like Let It Roll and Rampage dedicated to the genre, showcasing its enduring popularity and influence.
Current Scene: The genre has seen a resurgence in popularity, particularly with younger audiences through platforms like KZbin, SoundCloud, and now TikTok, where producers can quickly share new tracks or remixes, keeping the genre vibrant and evolving.
Drum 'n' Bass's history is a testament to how music can evolve from underground scenes into a genre with a global footprint, influencing and being influenced by countless other musical styles. Its journey reflects broader trends in electronic music, from the analog rave culture of the 90s to the digital age of music production and consumption today.
