Wow, turns out I've been listening to dnb for longer than I thought I did because I remember listening to some of these tracks when I was a kid Just didn't know what drum and bass was till like 2016
Anyone who loves the old jungle style and complains about new releases not having the original ethos or flavour I would recommend labels like sci wax ‘ deep jungle ‘ future retro ‘ 8205 !!!! They all have a bandcamp and do digital and vinyl ! And I would say the best jungle release this year is by Tim Reaper. Off the ropes !!!! Keep jungle alive in 2024 !!!!!
The Darkcore ones are so hypnotizing, Aphex Twin got me into DnB. It was the song Come to Daddy lol awesome video brother, didn't realise there was so many different types of DnB
Thanks mate, I didn't know there were so many either :D Yeah, darkcore has horror vibe and atmosphere. Apparently grooverider got me into dnb. Once upon a time i was composing random music on music 2000 psx and i was amazed by Where is Jack the Ripper lol.
holy shit I didn't know that song was DnB it was onw of the first I heard from them and I used to LOOOOVE blasting it while driving around in my car when I was 16 haha
Does Liquid Funk also fall under "Liquid DnB'? Sounds pretty similar from the example posted. Also, would Autonomic Sound fall under DnB? It sounds more like Electronica imo. (im not knowledgable on this genre and just looking to learn). Thanks for posting
5:49 funk, jazz, and techno…? Where do you hear that??? I’ve listened to a bunch of Billain and Noisia, and I do not hear any elements remotely close to these genres in Neurofunk
lol and you only listen to Billain and Noisia? Some of my friends, who just recently started listening to some commercial dnb like Pendulum and Noisia, also told me that it's like combining rock music with techno. No jazz, no avant-garde, no funk. I tell them that drum and bass is not only Pendulum and Noisia. These are the groups that introduce you to drum and bass. Noisia is quite straightforward in their sound, they haven't experimented much with other genres, if I don't count their debut album Split the Atom and the OST for DMC. Noisia have had their own niche style since the album Resonance I and many people consider it a staple of a good, production-quality hybrid of drum and bass and dubstep, but they are not a typical representative of neurofunk, they just make good use of the stabbing bassline in their style. The stabbing bassline is only a current, modern trademark of neurofunk, but neurofunk has been developing since the nineties, and when you listen to the beginnings of neurofunk, you might hear elements of jazz and funk: th-cam.com/video/wOjGpm6-xU0/w-d-xo.html Why do you think it's called neuroFUNK? It had groovy, funky vibes, but darker atmospheric than the classic funk of the 70s.
@@DarkLxrdahhhh, so it’s yet another case of a genre being exaggerated to the point of not being the same anymore? Dubstep is probably the best example of this
@@TheJittering yes, the evolution in both genres (dnb and dubstep) developed by leaps and bounds. I personally prefer a little more old school, but I like a lot of the new stuff (eg Burr Oak and Billain you mentioned).

@@lislemariaroblesjimenez9493 Panacea and Limewax experimented with amen breaks and other drum samples and released some sample packs. "Bone-rattling" is the metaphor I used to describe their characteristic break sound :) You can look up the names of the sample packs by their creators.
If you're still answering questions, what would you say is the genre of the first half of The Number Song by DJ Shadow? (I don't even know if it fits under DnB though tbh.) Thanks!!
I have to admit that the only thing I ever heard from DJ Shadow was the Endtroducing album. So fortunately I also heard this song because it is on this album :) Whole album is a phenomenal mix of downtempo and trip hop, cut-up DJ-ing and lots of sampling which uses broken beats here and there. Of course not everything that contains broken beats is automatically drum and bass, but quite a few people have this association (breakbeat - jungle - dnb). DJ shadow is similar to Aphex Twin and Autechre in some aspects, we would simply classify them as "experimental electronic music".
eh i wouldn't consider dead dred - dred bass oldschool jump up imo, for me oldschool jump up was the shit dillinja would make in the early 2000's tbh but if we really going oldschool then Krust - Warhead has to be one of the first oldschool jump up tunes
more or less yes. But basically there is no generally accepted semantic difference between the terms "jungle" and "drum and bass". I take these concepts as a historian. Jungle is part of the rave-techno scene of the late 80s and early 90s, and drum and bass is an evolutionary branch of jungle. The common distinguishing feature of both is the derivation of breaks and modulation of bass. That's just my personal view of the issue.
Thanks for comment. It sounds like a rapper experimented with amen break :) Bones style ambient melody and jungle amen breaks. If I had to forcefully put it in some of these subgenres, darkcore with subtle hints of rap. Some rappers experiment with different genres, like scarlxrd, bones, ghostemane and many others.
surprised you didn't include Technoid (from my understanding Limewax makes this type of dnb [Fuck the labels is a banger], although correct me if im wrong), Deep, halftime and whatever the fuck S.P.Y makes which is kinda bouncy but deep and dark. Subgenres are odd cause for 1 person a subgenre might sound like a different subgenre to another person, it's hard to agree to disagree on some of these, like for example when you showed crossbreed what would you consider something like what Counterstrike makes to be? Cause its not really crossbreed but not exactly neuro, I've always saw that as Technoid personally but idk maybe I'm wrong.
using dred bass for 'old jump up' is insane. using incredible is stupid. also no rollers, foghorns or newer killer styles see 'shy fx - badboy business' or 'flextime - spooksville' ik you used rambunctious for new jump up but thats a dogshit song
Dude, for me or you Rambunctious by Macky Gee is dogshit. For casual dnb listeners is mainstream banger. Mainstream popular hits are a good representative sample for a general overview, even if I don't like them subjectively.
@awooga772 homie was too afraid to put a good modern jump-up track in that would counter his mindless superiority complex hate for it. You can't be cool hating on something if it doesn't seem like it's worth hating on.
Rollers are not a subgenre of dnb. Its concept of songwriting. Which has been present since the time of jungle to the current dnb. It can be literally any time signature as long as it's a consistent loop of bass, drums or both (sometimes even synths) which roll over and over throughout the track.
@@DarkLxrd Ooooh then I was wrong... Probably I started to believe roller was a subgenre because of all the playlists you can find on TH-cam. My bad, and thank you for the highlight 👍
This is one of the most knowledgeable and thorough guides on the subject I've seen. And the examples are simply classic!
thanks RADIANTE DJ, I've been listening to drum and bass for over twenty years, and it's evolved impressively over that time :) The same with dubstep.
Thank you for showing 2 examples each time, so we can grab the similarities and therefore the characteristics of the subgenre.
i love how versatile dnb is, i absolutely love it

good breakdown. It was the jungle, jump up, hardstep and techstep that really used to light raves up in the 90s
THANK YOU SO MUCH. this is probably the best breakdown. Loving the intelligent DnB sound
I came across a video that mixed Drum and Bass with Merengue and I was absolute floored with how good it sounded.
drop the link homie

breakcore one's love!
So what genre do songs like "Yearning VIP" from Apex fit in? Kinda got that Neurofunk vibe but also fits liquid DnB but also a bit jungly?
Tuuuuuune🙌 IMHO: as for me, there are no answers except "Liquid". But, according to this video, you can also add it to Dancefloor.😉
The song from Toradora episode 11 (3:08) sounds very familiar to me but I dont seem to find it :^/
Sorry for cring

What Would Rollers fall under?
Rollers are not a subgenre. It is a structure of bassline (or synth) and drum pattern in dnb song.
@@DarkLxrd Thank you for the clarification.🙏
@@reactorb u r welcome
This is amazing, only thing i would change is that the first song in hardstep is hardcore instead
yeah, kind of. Its hardcore with broken beats, early hardstep formula.
@@DarkLxrd fair enough
I loveee the style of DnB from people like Goldie, DIllinja, LTJ, Peshay, etc. the modern jumpup and foghorn crap just isnt for me lol

For Drumstep, the examples you have don't use a half-time beat structure as it should. Probably not the best examples you could give here
whats the music at intro and outro
So glad we are out of the Jungle era. That was seriously hard to listen to. Intelligent DnB & Breakcore are the best for sure.
the jungle was quite repetitive, long songs and a bit boring, but it had to start somehow. Goldie Timeless era was legendary.
Which are basstripper & bou making???

how dare you goddamn not put venetian snares on the breakcore part!?
I put them in raggacore. Venetarian snares are unique, they are not just simple breakcore, they are breakcore, raggacore, crossing the genres.
