Drum and Bass
-
The UK has been the epicenter of drum and bass music since it emerged as a genre in the mid 1990's. I have been listening to it since the late 90's and it is arguably my favorite UK export and has deeply influenced my taste in music. After some down years, the sound currently having a massive worldwide resurgence and it got me curious if anyone here listens to drum and bass and similar styles of electronic dance music. If so, what are you listening to? I went out to see Chase and Status last week on their US tour. I hadn't been in a club in over 15 years but was compelled to go back and experience it on a proper club sound system. I was not disappointed, the music production, live sound engineering, and overall talent has evolved considerably. If you're into drum and bass and similar electronic music tell me what I should be listening to.

It is the original bad boy sound…
I love DnB. Heard it first a few years ago and was like… this gets me pumped up. Usually listen to it when I’m lifting, working out, or doing chores. Can’t say I am able to really dance to it. Haha. It just makes me feel like I need to be running at top speed.
Artists I Like:
Chase & Status
IRAH
Flowdan
MC Spyda

@Brian love John B. Had a chance to meet him at a show in 2002. Up All Night is still up there as one of the best original tunes in the genre

Thinking back to my earlier comment and also the events of the morning. I went grocery shopping definitely bumped some tunes in my car. Then I was like… no seriously. How do people dance to this? I know the “shuffle” is part of it. But honestly. I have no clue. Any videos of dancing that goes with DnB? I’ve never been to a live EDM or DnB set or show before.

@Fadez I couldn’t find a good video from a live show, but this one illustrates the basic pattern pretty well. I think most people dance like they are casually jumping rope with light kick forward and back. Jungle music I think people just spaz out, breakdance etc. My back and knees are too worn out to dance at 160-180bpm.
