      Drum N Bass wasn't exactly chart conquering in the UK, let alone elsewhere back in the day. I'm not sure if it even proved popular into Europe, let alone the US. Now The Prodigy were the only true world popular dance act back in the 90s (they repeatedly won MTVs greatest dance act numerous times throughout the 90s. Roni Size was @£%& all in comparison) Great as they come from my hometown and I was bang into them back in the 90s.

      Got to remember DnB has only really blown up in the U.S mainstream in the last 18 months due to people like Fred again playing it in his sets he does with Four Tet and then obviously Chase and Status. It's had an underground following for a long time but those new to it have missed 20+ years of original DnB and Jungle

    Reprazent used drum samples live on stage, however Roni Size then went on to create Breakbeat Era where he used a live drummer on recordings and on stage - it was beautiful, take a listen because he was pushing boundaries way ahead of his time.
    The city was Bristol and they had so many amazing producers and had and still still have a unique sound in the UK.
    The illegal raves going on in the early 90's were epic

    One thing I’d love for you guys to check out, seeing as you’re interested in the history of UK music, is UK hiphop.
    We have quite an extensive history, going back to the mid 80’s. But for a good starting place:
    Roots Manuva - Witness.
    Released in 2001. You may have heard it already, it’s been used in a lot of media over the years and was even on NBA2k(I forget the year, 22 maybe).

    @twentyfoursevensmoke 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    1. Yes its pronounced Ronny
    2. British genres like Garage, Jungle, Drum N Bass and Grime, always take all of the previous influential components like reggae and dancehall music, hip hop, forward into themselves and then they influence themselves, so grime led on from garage and so is very heavily linked to it, D Double E used to be a DnB DJ and then Dizzee and Wiley came up on garage sets and then you have the blend where DnB kind of drifted in and out of popularity between the 30+ years its been around and now you have P Money and what most would consider grime MC's, jumping back onto DnB
    3. the diggable planets reference i get which i bet is because both tunes are built around the double bass.
    4. Goldie was one of the godfathers of Drum N Bass and invented time stretching, something which went on to become a normal part of modern electronic music, but theres a few videos about it if you wanted to know more
    5. DnB might be compared to computer technology in terms of how it advanced and quickly changed its overall sound at lots of different times, you could say there are particular sounds of particular eras like the 90s stuff, the 2010s Jump Up, but in all honesty, its a mixed bag, because there will always be the mavericks that were leading the way with tunes that might not have fit in with what was going on at that time. Its too complicated to try and track IMO. it would be some crazy 6 hour documentary and even then you wouldnt be able to cover everything.
    Dont forget about one of the sickest DnB mixes of all time was from a video game.GTA3, MSX FM, Dj Timecode and Mc Codebreaker ;)

    it started in the late 80s really, but this era in the UK (kinda early to mid/late 1990s) was really heavily Jazz influenced, so we had loads of labels like Mo Wax, Acid Jazz, Soul Jazz Records springing up, and we had all different kinds of fusions with Jazz, Hip Hop/trip hop and Electronica, Drum and Bass, House. . . so we had some pretty big artists come out of that like the two you mentioned here Jamiroquai, Reprazent, also Gilles Peterson founded Acid Jazz records in the late 80s and that had quite a big impact as it brought a lot of genuine Jazz artists into more mainstream musical styles, I think he was kinda doing like Mancusos loft parties in the US did for disco and jazz artists like Vincent Montana Jr, in the late 70S thru the 80S etc

    It was a ‘97 vibe in the uk dnb scene. Another album that came out in the same year was Adam F’s Colours. And a stand out track named Circles infused jazz and actually had been playing on dance floors from around ‘95. He also won a MOBO award for the album. His early work is criminally underrated, and was far more musical and experimental in my opinion than Roni’s. But don’t get me wrong, Roni is great and this track is one of the all time classics.

Messy as... Northwest UK... Sophonic, Metropolis, X... It was so tight-knit back then. A real sense of community, supporting the UK DnB scene before it really exploded and became accepted and much more than a niche / underground style of 'dance' music.
