but it's prime and most creative or emerging era, was only a few years. 88 to 93/4 - and it really came out of pirate radio in London, reggae influenced / hip hop etc, some might debate that - but after that, the commercialised side came and it then was formulaic much more, apart from say, Roni Size did something creative, mainstream but new, with a jazz instrumentation and so on.
Love that this clip is gaining traction with the YT algorithm. The community is still strong, definitely with a resurgence in recent years. I’ve been captivated by DnB since I was a child, and I think many of us, growing up with these sounds in our video games, TV commercials, and embedded in our society, have taken control of the dial again, and are planting the seed for the next generation to grow into 🤘🏼
Yes, 50 years old here, love Drum n Bass since...the beginnig, and very happy to read that "the community is still strong, definitely with a resurgence in recent years" as you write. DnB is life! Massive forever.
I was true trance, techno fan in 90's. until my friend told me about new genre of music.. DNB. I think im gonna live with DNB rest of my life. Im 42 now 😜
Amazing how this sound still sounds futuristic 25+ years later. now this sound has come back again strong in recent years as this sound has mutated once against to be put in almost every style or electronic music today. and of course the Rise of Modern Breakcore
21st century is nothing but the 20th streamed in HD/4K/8K you name it.. it is what it is. but I don't mind at all . I am old and fed up with nostalgia, but can listen ti fresh music.
Bro, this little introduction to DnB was from 97-98 very few people knew the beat structures we all are quite aware of today, I’m an old fart 💨 lol. I was in my late teens then. I remember the craze in the states going on in that time. Even MTV was poised to push rave, techno, electro, big beat, DnB/Jungle, ect.. as the next big American music craze. No criticism on them hell they probably didn’t know. But the Amen break is the foundation it did deserve mention.
In 2004 I once set with friends in flat of one of my college classmate and we were listening different music all the evening... somehow we started the talk about "hard and energetic" styles of music, back then I was listening such music like Fatboy Slim, the Prodigy and Propellerheads so we started to talk about some Prodigy's track and I said like 'yeah, that track was really fast and hard' 'Well, actually no" - said one friend of mein - "I mean, yes, but I have a music, which is energetic but faster and harder as style" "Wait, what? So what can it be?" - asked I "Drum" "And" "Bass" So immediately he started the disk with drum'n'bass set - and I was stunned by such fast and powerful music. After that I started to listen d'n'b, tryed all styles, find all sub-jenres, was on very first Therapy Session in our town with Current Value. I have done tones of job and home works with d'n'b music at background. DnB. May the Bass bless all the Drums - and all of us.
It's interesting, looking back, to see how regional media was at time, and the amount of airtime & perspective given to New York artists, where MTV studios were centered at the time.
"People may have been exposed to DnB and jungle without even knowing they're hearing it" Me at 5 years old playing Ape Escape on my PS1 forming my music taste for decades to come
I started to go to my 1st raves in the mid 90's in Nashville and Memphis, TN. There was a club wear clothing shop (forgot the name) in a small room deep in downtown Nashville where I would try and muster up money to buy Jnco jeans and random cool looking t-shirts. The owner would give you a mixtape he recorded himself from, somewhere, with every purchase. I didn't know genres back then. He rambled off a bunch of different genres, and the one that stood out was, Jungle. I picked that one.. That was my 1st intro into Jungle. It was a mix of Micky Finn, & an MC that i can't remember the name of. At first i was not really into it, because it was so fast! Ha.=] As the months rolled on, and going to numerous warehouse raves in downtown Nashville, I noticed playing that tape ALL the time driving back to Clarksville. MANY years later, I of course eventually started buying Jungle vinyl online line and bought turntables and a mixer from a pawn shop and started throwing shows of my own in Clarksville.. Junglist for life. ~Dj 40oz.~
Wow, now I get why I was able to buy a licensed version of planet V in breakbeat science, east 13th st if memory serves. Great seeing the footage from inside the ORIGINAL shop. Still wear my BBS t to this day! One love, rinse out,and so on, and so forth x
@@romeisfallingagain they're simply stating that it wasn't a new sensation in 98. By that time the 'golden era' had already happened. Theyre also spot on that Speed Garage was taking over the clubs by that point. No Speed Garage is not around, its just a fact of that time period theyre pointing out.
@@Reeceline Speed Garage got quickly killed off by Trance in 98, understandably because it suited both the sober and pillhead ravers due its euphoric nature...from the age of 17 in 1992 I was lucky enough to take part in this journey of genres 😄 before having kids and that killed me off 😂
2 real main peaks for uk dnb, 95-98 (uk jungle/amen) and then 2000-2008 (uk jump up). Three cities were paramount to dnb/jungle. London, Bristol and Birmingham. Oh yea uk bass line kind of pushed speed garage to the side not trance, but interestingly uk bassline and speed garage have recently had an offspring called speed bass (mandidexterous)
Офигеть, сколько содержательной информации.Это и называется настоящий музыкальный канал(где за идею). Не то что наше муз тв- страшно смотреть и слушать(где коммерция).
For me it’s always gonna be Breakbeats because of my favorite music is electric funk which derived from broke up beats. I like hard-core I like jungle more than drum n bass always also juke, trance (cyber) and foot work ,bass but those breaks and synths are magic!
98 Andy c starting to take over wiv ram....in 99 bad company were born wiv the nine...and ed rush and optical..they came wiv style..thats wat got me into the scene they missed this style out I think...
America always had a very niche scene back then, small underground raves mostly, the hardhouse scene also got quite a few fans around this time, probably travellers who heard the music from trips around Europe and the blowup of the superclubs.
