Drum And Bass History


Over the last 30 years Drum and Bass has been the master on the dance floor and is one of the most preferred genre of music used by night clubs. But thing weren’t always this successful for the artists.

Drum and Bass is an electro dance like music and started its days in the UK back in the late 80’s. The genre changed a lot in the first 15 years of it existence between Hip-Hop, Jazz, Electro, Funk, House and Dance floor. For a long time Drum and Bass left the UK and travelled across seas to L.A but later returned to the UK as Jungle, later know as the famous Drum & Bass.

  The most famously known Drum and bass artist is Goldie, who has a very well recognised face worldwide.

The name Drum and Bass sprung after Radio 1 picked up on the pirate radio stations and started to play some of the underground tracks they used, causing the mainstream Drum & Bass.

Many say Drum & Bass is being over ran  by Dub-Step and its only a matter of time until TechStep fills the UK top 40.
