Drum and bass emerged out of the UK in the 1990s as an offshoot of the breakbeat and rave scene.
Like most forms of electronic music, drum and bass is flexible enough to incoporate other genres of electronic music such as dancehall, house and electro. It is perhaps for this reason why drum and bass has remained relevant for over 15 years. In fact, after a brief lull, there is currently a resurgence of excitement in drum and bass!
Many of the songs on today’s edition of solipsistic NATION came from my interviews with Simon “Bassline” Smith of Technique Recordings, Nathan Vinall of Skynet Recordings, Doug Kubiks of Rubik Records and Barry Lundie and Simon and Ashley Arnold of Jerona Fruits Recordings, not to mention erb N dub. Head over to small WORLD podcast to hear the interviews and to hear more great drum and bass!
