Since it’s inception, several sub-genres of drum and bass have emerged such as Liquid, Jump Up and Neurofunk. Despite it’s mainstream influence, drum and bass has managed to hold on to it’s underground cultural aesthetic, and still remains extremely popular in the UK rave scene alongside jungle and tech-house. The genre is defined by fast, syncopated breakbeat loops and deep, wobbling basslines and has influenced many huge artists over the years including Chase & Status and Australia’s Pendulum. Drum and Bass emerged in the early 1990’s underground UK rave scene and has since exploded into a global phenomena.
