Drum and Bass Topic

[Omega5002]

Since I've seen many other genres here, expect for Drum and Bass (common genre for racing games), I thought I might as well make a topic for it, since I enjoy playing it, so I thought others would like it too, and some of the songs got some really nice basslines.

It can range from 80's Ragga, 90's Rave and Jungle, to today's Liquid and Drumstep. Please don't post normal Dubstep/Brostep here, there's a topic for that. DNB Remixes are welcome too

Here's a list of subgenres also to add:

- Artcore (Gabber/DNB Fusion)

- Darkstep (Dark DNB)

- Skullstep (Old school, new techology)

- Drumfunk (Chopped DNB)

- Hardstep (Heavy DNB)

- Intelligent ("Ambient")

- Jump -Up (

- Liquid Funk/Liquid (House, Jazzy Soul, Funk, R&B, Pop, Synthpop, Disco influenced)

- Sambass (Brazilian DNB)

- Jazzstep (Jazzy DNB)

- Techstep (Tech DNB)

- Technoid (Techno/DNB fusion)

- Neurofunk (Post techstep)

- Drumstep (DNB/Dubstep fusion)

and a few more out there.

Here's a guide to help identify some of these subgenres:http://techno.org/el...ic-music-guide/

I've been wondering about this. Years ago I worked at a club that had DJ's come in from all over and they all had their favorite types of music. I don't remember there being as many as you just listed but that was like 12 years ago. Anyway, all I see people on here talking about is dub step. I just wondered if people now just call everything dub step or if there is still all these different styles.

Well, there are still different styles, and people sometimes do confuse Drum & Bass with Dubstep because they are both from the UK, but Dubstep originated from 2step Garage when people started Dub remixing these songs back in the late 90's. Then as time progressed, it started forming into it's own style when they decided to throw in Jungle(one of the forms of Drum and Bass) in it. Then as time keep progressing it started evolving into something crazier, then it become mainstream in 2010, and now electro is being influenced into it, which is now starting to become a mess and lose all structure, which is called Brostep

Drum and Bass on the other hand is different, and actually is influenced by Dub, Reggae, and Hip Hop because it's breakbeat style,heavy basslines, and the good use of the drum machine. Drum and bass is a different, more controlled style of music. I find it easier to listen to than Dubstep because it has a lot more structure to it, and can be mixed with a lot of instruments, and sounds while still keeping integrity. It's also a lot more fast paced than Dubstep also, which is why it's popular in clubs, and racing games. And believe it or not, some people than love Drum and Bass hate Dubstep because they find it too crazy for their taste, or in the past, too slow.

If you hear a lot of drum sounds with basslines, and instrumentals in a smooth pattern, that's mostly likely Drum and Bass nowadays.
