Drum and Bass (or Drum n Bass) is an
electronic music style.
Drum n Bass is also known as Jungle
?, although possible racist overtones make this term controversial. Drum n Bass, originally an offshoot of the UK breakbeat hardcore scene, came into existence when people mixed
reggae basslines with sped-up
hip hop breakbeats and influences from
techno. First,
raggamuffin dee jay [General Levy]
? and other dee jays were therfore the stars of drum n bass, then still called jungle. Producers like Goldie
? and [4 Hero]
? were not that fond of hip hop and reggae, and turned drum n bass in a less accessible and more instrumental direction, spawning sub-genres like tech-step
? and moving the genre closer to
techno.
