Drum and Bass

Drum and Bass (D&B) is a high-energy genre of electronic music originating in the UK in the early 1990s. It is characterized by fast breakbeats, powerful basslines, and a BPM range of 160-180. The genre has evolved into subgenres like neurofunk, known for its dark sound, and liquid funk, which features smoother and more melodic elements. Drum and bass has a global influence, with a vibrant club and festival culture, and has produced iconic artists like Goldie and Noisia.

Mary Anne Hobbs 2023-10-20 Metalheadz 30 ICONS Mix

“There are few record labels that can boast a legacy as concrete as Metalheadz. When it comes to seminal cuts, uncompromising sound and respect throughout the scene, it’s hard to think of a true rival. 30 years since it was launched in the 90’s by Goldie, Storm and the late Kemistry, Metalheadz has remained a driving force in relentless expression of cutting edge Drum & Bass.”

Goldie – Resident Advisor podcast #905 2023-10-09

“For our 905th RA Podcast, we’re proud to welcome Goldie, one of the most famous, talented and important electronic music artists of all time. Starting out as a graffiti artist, he eventually made music under the name Rufige Kru, helping push the then-nascent genre of jungle forward with tracks like “Krisp Biscuit (Power)” and “Terminator.” The latter was released under the name Metalheads, which would later become the name of his label (with a z instead of an s). Metalheadz—which he cofounded with DJ Storm and the late Kemistry—celebrates its 30th anniversary this year and remains the defining outlet of drum & bass, the genre that grew out of jungle that Goldie helped invent with records like 1995’s massive crossover album Timeless (alongside countless other classics). He’s a producer, DJ, actor and all-around celebrity, a huge personality in UK electronic music.
Goldie is also RA’s guest curator this month, and his tenure starts with this mix. We’ll have more to come starting this week—check our editor’s letter later today for more information—but for now, here’s a survey of drum & bass past and present from a man who helped invent the genre. With plenty of new Metalheadz material plus a healthy dose of older tracks, these two hours lay out the history of Metalheadz, drum & bass and its various subgenres, from twinkling liquid to rumbling techste”

DJ Hype on Rinse FM 2023-09-22

Although his Ganja Records label and tracks released under his own name and with the Ganja Kru have helped, it’s the “DJ” at the front of Hype’s name that has proved most important in raising his profile to the level of the Grooverider’s, Goldie’s, and LTJ Bukem’s of drum’n’bass. A battle DJ of renown (he represented England in the 1989 DMCs), Hype had a history of electrifying deckwork before moving on from his reggae and hip-hop roots in the late ’80s and latching onto house and hardcore. He was an early force on one of London’s most influential pirate stations, Fantasy FM, and since then he’s consistently topped bills on the international DJ circuit, landing awards for Best Male DJ and Best Radio DJ (in 1994 and 1995, respectively) at the U.K.’s prestigious Hardcore Awards. He’s also one of London’s popular Kiss FM’s biggest attractions and was the force behind Suburban Base’s popular multi-volumed mixed compilation series, Drum and Bass Selection. A champion of jungle’s dancefloor purity, Hype has also rallied consistently against jungle’s compartmentalization into “artificial” scenes such as ambient/intelligent and hip-hop/ragga.
