- 20 years that changed our lives: Presenting our feature-length documentary - Drum & Bass: The Movement - capturing a specific and intense slice of drum & bass culture’s rapid acceleration from 1996 - 2016. Brought to you by Drum&BassArena, featuring Goldie, Andy C, Roni Size, DJ Flight, Grooverider, Ed Rush & Optical, Mefjus, Friction, El Hornet, Chase & Status and many more, as well as exclusive unseen footage from our scene’s rich history.
Drum & Bass: The Movement explores how a unique UK club culture rose from the underground to become a global phenomenon infiltrating and influencing disciplines from mainstream pop music to video games. From dubplates to mainstream crossovers, to some of the labels, tracks and clubs that helped shape the scene, Drum & Bass: The Movement is a snapshot of D&B and how it’s always been much more than a genre of dance music: it’s a lifestyle. The movement continues...

This is just one part of jungle D&B's long and complex history. Check out loads more documentaries and books here: breakbeat.co.uk/documentary
Its a load of bollocks. Delete this disgrace of a doc
Why is dnb called dnb? I just watched this doc and i havent got a clue
Tks
@@dirtmansdnbplaylists250 Because, originally, before the current generation of producers relegated the beats to a mere vehicle for delivering the rest of the track, the tunes were about phat breakbeats and big bass. The drums were the most prevalent component of the mix, in addition to the bass which came from the dub and reggae influence provided by techno DJs like Grooverider and Carl Cox who started mixing these kinds of tunes with the breaks in to their sets around 1990/ 91, giving rise to breakbeat hardcore. Drums and Bass... then dudes like DJ Trace, Ed Rush & Optical started putting a lot of midrange in to their tunes further in to the 90s, in an effort to make tunes that sounded as good on people's home stereos as they did on big night club PAs. But it was always the drums and the bass first...
@@naughtymonkey1563 nice reply.. i actually knew why its called dnb.. i was just making a point of how shit the documentary is
My brother was the biggest DNB head ever and passed away last month. I know he would be rocking this right here with me smiling and tapping me on the shoulder when he heard his favorite classic tunes. I know he is rocking out in another realm somewhere. Big Up Charlie!!!!
Aww bless. RIP Charlie ☺️☺️
Sorry for your loss mate.
Sorry bro for the loss. RIP Charlie!
Big up Charlie! RIP
He is with the gods and goddesses now! SKÅL Namaste
R.I.P to the legends in this documentary who are no longer with us 🙏 thank you for everything 💙
Kemistry, Stevie Hyper, Skiba, Fats, Charlemagne. And more... RIP
Marcus 😢
Sadly adding MC Conrad and Randal to the list 😢 🕯
Rip dj Randal the king of the rollers 👑
Anybody watching in Covid world with no DnB shows??? This made me miss it even more!!
90s D&B was a big vibe!!!
Undying love to jungle and drum & bass since first stepping in that room in 1998. Those nights were real... Tuesday nights at the Baltic Room; Wednesday at some empty loft on University (U-District); random Thursday at a basement shop on Pike and 15th; weekends at NAF where I saw some of these lads (and DJ Rap) and lots of Seattle local DJs (Zacharia, Nitsuj, 360 BPM crew). I still got tapes, flyers, and homemade ticket stubs! LOL
Since 94' here, can't wait!
94-98 was when drum and bass was at its best!!
No love for tech itch? He's made more dnb tracks than anyone else in this movie and still is releasing tunes to this day, over 25 years! Not to mention the genius game changing production of limewax and current value.
I said the same thing in a post earlier. He had some serious bangers. Omni trio a close second.
still one of my favourites! I think I have about 8 of the classics on vinyl
That was dope af, will be buying as soon as it’s released 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Good to see Hyper D, Mickey Finn, Darren Jay, Swanee, Zinc, Nicky Blackmarket the real pioneers of jungle and d n b represented so well here......................oh no wait it's just Goldie telling everyone he created an entire genre which he didn't.
for me it is Hazard who is missing
This is gonna slap haaaaard
AWOL at paradise club Kenny Ken b2b dj Ron, Broki mc det mampi swift, Dr S Gacheay, Ray Keith Kemistry and Storm, Four Hero, Marc Mac and Dego aka Tom and Jerry, Reinforced Jungle Fever, Navigator,Hyper D Zero tolerance & Beta 2 the list go’s on. salute all those who didn’t get mentioned still a dope documentary.
RIP Marcus Intalex
Yeah I think this should have been noted.
RIP
after I completed watching this, im never gonna be the same again. Im glad this did happen in Thank you for this
Damn, I welled up a bit seeing and hearing Duncan Spirit again :'( such a loss to our scene, RIP!
Wicked documentary, obviously missed namechecks on many many people, but it's a great start. I'm glad the Autonomic movement got a mention (wish they'd interviewed dBridge or Kid Drama for that segment) also wicked that Loxy got a shout (another one who should have been interviewed though)!
And when Flight mentioned the gender and racial imbalance was another important moment, big up Flight and the EQ50 crew
RIP Duncan.
I would watch this much uncut footage of TS digital and Spirit just chatting on that couch.
@@deepzone31 THIS!
Drum and Bass forever ❤💛💚
Pendulum really got me into Dnb , oh tarantula
holy shit someone or some people did it. made a doc on drum & bass. I'm seeing a lot of comments on a lot and i mean A FUCKIN LOT of names that are creators of this deal or part of this whole deal that was being built up from the get go. It's amazing to see, a sight to see all these names collectively, I think this is a nice document, but I do have to say, maybe do some more on the parts that were just honorable mentions in this great music. It would even do more justice if you could do it. Not sure if you guys need money to put it together, you have people that would love to see them all with their inputs n such on how this came too be.
Edit: So finished watching this whole thing. I gotta say, good stuff still, regardless ya didn't get everyone in this but it was finally mentioned and made. My brother introduced me to jungle music back when i was in Jr.High, that was back in 98 or 99. I was like... bewildered by the sounds and lost with the beat waves. My brother put me head down into the hard stuff and I was in love with the music since then. I haven't kept up with it though, I tried since I lived in the states, i didn't know to much on the music, I do know that it was mainly underground at the time. So then I kept getting some jungle, dnb music. Now youtube is a thing or other sites that have drum n bass knowledge on tracks but gotta still find the good/rare ones that are hardly out. It kills me a bit to try and find them but when you do, greatest feeling, like finding treasure but christ, doesn't have to be that hard. XD So greatly thank you for putting this together with what time you had and resources. Not sure if you were putting it together during this whole... Lock down deal but yeah. Thank you greatly, I can now show this to my brother on the history of DnB.
No love for Source Direct? Sheeeesh their sound was undeniably dark and beautiful
Did i just watch a 123min documentary on DnB without Jenkinson being even mentioned? wuuut?!
I know, I know. Couldn't possibly fit everyone, I get it. But.... even out of all those people who say so many legends were left out, not a single one mentions Aphrodite? Gavin is truly the DnB pioneer.
Mickey Finn
He was mentioned
Great doc.. Bukem’s Logical Progression in 96 was year zero for me and many others ❤️
El hornet too wholesome 😭
Yo where’s ak1200, Dara, diesel boy. Planet of the drums was a great a tour

Goldie: 'Catch me on the wrong day and I can't mix a salad' 😂
So true tho
Goldie would spoil the vibe every time. ‘Who’s in in the other room’ 🤣
seen him mix like an absolute king, truly exceptional, then other nights when he can't match a beat to save his life. So true.
Shit son thats going on a TShirt
@@DonDapper09 we're all human m8
Oh man, this brings a tear to my eye. Drum n Bass was my entire life from 1996 through till 2006. The greatest 10 years of my life. I travelled up and down the UK to taste all the DnB selections and then travelled to Australia to see the rise of Pendulum. What a time to be alive.
Dam I'm so jealous you got to experience that. You should write a book or make a TH-cam doco on it!
for me 1995 - 2001. Of course english hardcore and jungle before that. My golden age was 1997 (ended up with 6 curvers of vinyl)
Greatest bender ever 🎉😂😊😅❤
@@danielnepson303 It really was a 10 year bender! But I don't regret a single second of it. To be a part of that uprising and living amongst the Junglist community was incredible!
To experience an entire genre of music form in real time was truly epic! 🤘💫
What was the song where there was a part where the music stops (or it was an intro) and a guy with a weird voice says “get ready to hear the sounds…of drum and bass…” and then the music starts.
I need to find it!
as a metal musician I can tell that drum and bass reaches into multiple subcultures. Including rock metal etc. Also my local drum and bass community is a bunch of awesome people and they drop some sick parties. It's always an awesome experience to attend any underground drum and bass parties. AAAAND the music is ideal to let of steam and just le the beats beat the negativity and shit out of your brain. I bow to the world wide drum and bass community. cheers mates
I hear you bro! Fellow metal guitarist here! I love dnb especially the hard dark stuff!! Lol. Think there is a lot of similarities between the darker harder tech step/neuro type dnb and metal!!
Hell yeah brother , Fellow doom metal musician. Can't seem to get enough of Liquid D&B / Jungle
It's got it all, metal, funk, hiphop, reggae. Love all those genres btw :) drum&bass was something completely new like hiphop was
I know so many of my old and some good mates that came from metal or atleast used to come to the gigs… they always had a good time, esp the early days
Metal guitarist here too. Producing dance music now after going to a rave earlier this and its just a different world with great music and greater people
Drum and bass, it's a tribal thing. It hits you physically. Drum and bass is life!
Something so primal about it, you just feel it down to your core. It is life indeed 😎
Absolutely! Raving to dnb is so similar to techno in the regard that you dance yourself into subconscious state where you learn the truth about existence itself. Feels like Raindance. Kathartic.
True
☘️🐞💚
If you spout this kind of shite then it's well within its rights to hit you physically. Only kidding. Dnb is life no doubt, like a warm summer breeze gently tickling your tea towel holder. Whistle in the wind crew big ups
BIG UP'S TO ALL JUNGLIST MASSIVE AND CREW !!!!!
conKrete respeKt
big up to you bruv
Bass and trigger split up ukno !! 😢
Really they gave not 1 nod to the junglists that started this yeah ok its a dnb doc but really they gonna sit there stroking there egos and not give nothing to the people before that layed the foundations , they poked the sleeping sleeping lions with this and they aint ready for coming , also goldie would be nothing without d-bridge who is litrally the start of dnb people need to get to know !
#junglistmovement #dontwakethelionsitwontendwelllittlecubbies
@@DigitalPiratesCamp uhm I adore dBridge and his sound but he certainly isn't "the start of dnb" my dude.
Absolutely with you on the point that they left WAY too much people, labels and locations out.
As someone who grew up in nyc area and fell head over heels for jungle and drum and bass music back in 1994 95 I woll be complelty glued to my screen. Drum and bass gets in your soul like no other music ever created. End of story
sure does! mixing it for people and feeling their energy gets even deeper in your soul.
If u haven't already watched it, there's another new documentary about Drum n Bass/jungle called "United Nation 3 decades of Drum n Bass"
It's available to rent or buy on Amazon prime app. Well worth a watch imo ✌️

I'm dying at this documentary🔥!!!! DnB has been my life for 25 years now & counting. As a teenager people would tell me you'd get over it and here I am 25 years later listening to this genre & still jamming to it! There's nothing like the DnB culture, the countless friends I've made in the scene dancing together & listening to this beautiful music. Just meeting someone in public that listens to DnB I'd connect with them like no other. I've made lifelong friends bc of this culture. Everywhere I travel I always seek out a DnB event to check out the scene & make friends🔥 The feeling you get when u listen to it & ur in ur zone is like no other🔥 I'll die a junglist for sure💜 Mad love & respect for the scene & for the pioneers that have left a foot print & everybody involved⚡🤟🏻⚡
respect🤜🤛
Was a nice burst of nostalgia, the timeline concept was cool, but missed out on SO SO many big players and big releases on the timeline. Its no doubt hard to capture 20 years in 1.5hrs, but it felt like watching an extra-long trailer for the full documentary.
Leon Scothern Definitely. Proper great doc but would've liked a bit longer on the late 90s/early 2000 (up to Pendulum) scene.
...gr8 hearing Planet Dust & Bodyrock mentioned but SO many massive tunes hit over that period smashing the dancefloors and created subtle or big shifts in the style, plus mcs, djs & producers who were smashing it time after time. Twisted Individual/Distorted Minds era, more on Hospital Records, more on Playaz & the heavy jungle influence - didn't even hear Champion Sounds lol. More detail is always appreciated, especially when doing a timeline. Again was quality to watch though & true as you say is hard to fit all in
This should really be a documentary series. 20 years in 90 minutes...so much is left out.
What and who would you include, guys?
I started listening in 2003, so I missed out a looot. And even after 2003 missed a lot. Internet was slow lol
There’s a great edm doc called pump up the volume it was a series they spliced into 1 2:30:00 long doc.
I'm gettin to be an old ass man and I can't "grow out of" dnb. Guess I'll just roll with it all the way to Nursing Home.
Its not a fad or something you grow out of to a junglist.
im 49....it ain't gonna happen m8....
44 love it more than ever!
@@Terracecasualx5 you never grow out of it.. I'm looking forward to my 80s when I'm shocking out in my wheelchair
43 and still shocking out...just ache a bit more next day!
Words born from love for dnb: I definitely can sympathize with dnb as a place of refuge. As a 15 year outsider in a remote part of Holland (Groningen) dnb was my portal out of mundanity. A portal to an exciting musical realm, with a sound just as vicious as it could be gentle and warm. Truly something I could dream away on AND bounce away thru my room with. When I started to hear LTJ Bukem and early Total Science records in 99 on late night radio - just before they released "Advance" - it changed me. Turned out to be the 16th birthday present from my older brother and i was so f*cking proud to possess that record.
But hell was I shy on my first parties a few years later, still used to the local clubs I first started partying, where they mainly played charts music for drunk teenagers. My first dnb party I just shyly sat at the sides myself, but it was an eyeopener nonetheless, with so many of the partygoërs actually involved in dancing instead of loafing around the sides. Lots of smiles, jogging pants and girls with no makeup. I also - and still, raving at 35 -found out i just f*cking love to dance to it. It's helped me over social anxiety and is an immediate access to activating my energy, to get comfortable in my own skin. So in that sense this documentary hit home with me with it's emotional finish. Dnb is a celebration of lives and we're all invited.
There is a NEW Documentary on Drum&Bass History which is very different than this one and more focus on the origins & the evolution of Drum&Bass and also the different scenes in Europe. Check it here : th-cam.com/video/MwB-UIgwkho/w-d-xo.html ;)
There’s truly nothing that compares to drum and bass when it comes to music. Peace love and unity inna jungle, much love and i feel where you’re coming from. DnB will be with us all for as long as we live, it goes alot deeper than a genre
Isn't Noisia from Groningen?!
Massive!
Beautifully said!
since your from Holland, im curious your views on Hardstyle. its my love genre but man DNB is such a great sound when i need a change up!
45 years old and I lived for dnb and still do. This was needed and Drum and Bass Arena did it justice. Everything was on point, goldie was funny as ever 😂. Glad to have watched it with like minded people. Thank you so much for this. Epic. DnB crew salute ❤️💯. Stay safe it was a pleasure
Are u deluded?
From the southern home of D n B...Christchurch NZ..Im 41.. found the scene at 17...in its prime...changed my life direction...changed my outlook..and warmed my soul..its my medicine...it picks me up when i'm down...helps me sleep..helps me get active..i'ts an integral part of my life..what more can I say..I'm a Junglist all day.
CHCH was epic back in the late 90's for D&B, spending all your pay at Galaxy records on new tunes, weekends at Ministry hearing top international DJs- Andy C, Bailey, Grooverider, Pendulum. This music shaped me, Big ups the CHCH massive
Amen brother, I couldn't agree more! :)
@@scotthandley1109 certainly NZ over Oz if that's what your sayin? Although Perth does have a decent scene
Also from Christchurch, definitely the southern home for D&B
@@scotthandley1109You sound mega ignorant on the subject mate, I dont live in NZ but it's fact Christchurch and NZ in general has always had one of the more thriving DnB scenes globally. Just check tour schedules bruv, NZ has been importing international talent with sold out shows and have local scenes which have continued to thrive since DnB's inception. Not many places other than the UK had such a thriving scene for dnb as in Christchurch.
Thanks to everyone commenting and sharing their views 💛 The reaction has been a testament to the huge and lasting impact of all the artists and labels involved, and the passion of their fans, and we have nothing but respect for that. We’re just fans ourselves, too.
We salute our scene’s pioneers - who have built the foundations, and who continue to push this music into the future - whether featured in the documentary or not. Our original intention was to highlight the love and passion people have for this music, and we’ve achieved that. We hope this film can be used as a starting point, as there are so many crucial stories - that have already been told, and that are yet to surface - about our scene’s rich history. One love.
Drum & Bass is literally the BEST thing to happen to me in 20yrs! There's nothing better than to have Synesthesia & THEN discover DnB! I'm one of the lucky ones that gets to SEE music, and without the use of any hallucinogens. But if you DO take a dose of a visual-inducing substance then you would never see a more beautiful abstract visualization.
Lots more to be told, great film. Lots of faces & memories from the past. Making an old man smile here in Tenerife. A long way from the days of Noel Newton teaching me how to get the cuts right for Vinyl Distribution - Basement. Music house deservedly gets a mention but the scene owes credit to some great engineers out there. Stewart Hawkes had to be the most prolific D 'n' B cutting engineer, & George Lambert all the late dub plate nights at Copymasters / Masterpiece. Shout to Shane at Heathmans. And Brillo at Timeless Recordings who was smart enough to take me down to Speed one night so I could see what the scene was about & hear a good cut next to a bad one. Great days indeed. Nice to see Mampi Swift, Ray Keith & Clayton Hines also - 3 absolute gentlemen. I'll always be grateful to have worked on some amazing music for so many of these artists. Hype Zinc & Pascal - Tru Playaz. Cutting Pendulum's "Spiral" for Timeless, Chase & Status having their first Renegade release cut with me, great days. Cheers - let me know when your doing the sequel - I got some stories for you!!
This is an awesome doc.
This was absolutely superb long overdue really ♥️
let me say this. in my opinion there's way to much FANBOYISM going on here. people need to speak up and share their true opinions. to many people are scared of upsetting one another. some people are keeping their true toughts to them selves. if you disagree with something speak up. and on that note let me say this. i think most people understand you can't mention everyone for what ever reason. but not giving v recordings a spot is blasphemy! there i said it! and on that note all i can say is this. make sure you do better next time.
hype is spot on when he talks about the underground infrastructure being the reason dnb has longevity... best point made in the whole doc.
totally agreed
True say; on the other hand, I disagree with the all-too-easy statement (made by many people, in this case by Hype) that such-and-such a scene has 'died'. Morphed, of course, waned, perhaps, but all of these scenes keep a die-hard following of listeners and producers.

@@EdiDrums "keep die-hard listeners and producers"
Your argument brushes aside quality and impact. Dnb as I/we knew it two decades ago is dead, the one of today is a cruel mockery of it.
There's no diversity, no experimentation. I've clicked through 60 new ones on a major label's channel and they all sound smell and feel the same.
I could continue ranting and comparing, but you get my point anyway. There's only a handful of tracks produced in the last decade that worth the listen
@@3goats1coat I don't follow the scene like you seem to so can't comment, but I'm sure many many people agree with you and I hope that some of them were at least born after about 1986. I don't think the same applies to garage, meanwhile; the likes of Mind of a Dragon, Flava D, Disclosure, Scott Diaz, Prescribe da Vibe and others continue to innovate with bangers.
Anybody else cry during the last 5 minutes? Fuck man. Drum and bass is life. Thank you drum and bass.

Rather average documentary. Should be more about jungle seeing that people often mix dnb with jungle. Nothing about the HUGE Suburban Base. Nothing about Nico da don.The don of darkness.
@@MemoryLaneCinema It should've been made as episodes. It was rushed which a lot platforms are doing because Netflix did a documentary on DNB so everyone followed suit in a rush to be current. Unfortunately, when you do quick work all the detail gets lost.
@@TakeMeBackPirateRadio Netflix did a doc about dnb? hahaha :). Oh dear. Things have certainly changed ;). Should be episodes yeah. Cover the evolution through the different genres and so on. So many OG's were not even mentioned.

@@TakeMeBackPirateRadio I like to ask this question to old schoolers. How did you first get into the "beats" back in the day? :)
This was awesome, and very informative! Thank you for putting it together!
Bro! my wife and I were just wondering what kind of music you listen to during the saw timeline vid 😂 🥁
@@jackofnotrades4350 Mostly punk, metal, and emo but also a lot of modern drum n bass. Been obsessed with Koven lately.
Give netsky and lost frequencies a go right now.
Well put together. The only problem is that DnB has such a wide spectrum you could never cover it all in
finally someone recognizing the problem and not just complaining "they didn't feature artist xxx reeeeeeee" xD
This couldn't be a more true statement. Dnb needs a series something like the evolution of Hip-hop series. There's just too much to cover in 1hr 23 mins...nice try though...now time for some Konflict!
I sense some favouritism/bias with certain artists and style of DnB featured. That can't be helped but did feel it was Nuero focused (that's DNB Arena's preference), especially the soundtrack. No mention of Hazard, V Rec or more late jungle/early DnB pioneers seems strange. Still a v good doc though!
How is DnB Arena itself Neuro-biased? I feel like they put out way more deep and liquid nowadays, all the Neuro lands on blackout or Neurofunk Grid
Am I the only one that thought Jungletrain was the best stream around the beginning of the century?
@@voynich7825 I am sure you are correct. Not an expert on nuero. I stopped listening to dnba podcast a few years back when it got to a point where the majority tunes played didn't have any breaks or subs. All I know is, that shift wasn't happening in the same way on other DNB podcasts, radio and clubs etc.

@@jstanley4968 drumnbass is a UK thing. It's always been and always will be. They weren't Uk. Dieselboy is a joke compared to people like Goldie and Dillinja.
This kid said deiselboy 😂😂
@@toonylcfc781 We get it. Andy C and Dillinja. Funny how both of them created VIP's for Dieselboy
A bit disappointing if I’m honest. Feel like it wasn’t in depth enough, lots of artists & parts of the scene ignored. I appreciate the time and effort that has gone into it though 👍🏼
Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't mention more prominent guys outside of Europe. I can cut them some slack given it'd probably take well over 90 min to tell the full history.
@@wj00312 Well, they did feature Pendulum pretty strong.
There are some interesting parts of course but there's many gaps in knowledge.
@@wj00312 That's where they should have down series with episodes on specific topics on years. That would have been better.
@@Jthe5th That's true!!
RIP Marcus Intalex ! Long live Drum And Bass Music !
🙏🏿
Ah man. I know for sure I'm gonna want to go out raving after watching this
That was awesome. Where's the rave at?
Same feeling here !
Love for Riya, but this documentary did Jenna G dirty lol... Not even a single mention
Jenna G did the awards for them a few years back too.. I thought they looked after their own.
Or Tali, I loved her
Good point. Midnight
You can't beat dnb. I'm 43, I've been listening to it and going to nights since I was 18. I will never stop.
I'm 48 so yes, I was 20 something 1995
I was 15 when I first started playing the DnB/jungle records, and I’m 39 now…will never stop!
44 big up oldheads
Haha 52 years old and still listening to the 1993 darkness, big up quest crew Wolverhampton 👊🏻
Now 54. ~5 years ago I went with my daughter, wife and some of daughter's friends to a dance. A friend asked her if her parents won't leave, if we weren't a bit too old? It was clear that it was her intention we hear.
The rebuttal was absolute fantastic, I heard her say, "he was the first to play D&B in this city, in the year I was born! If anybody has the right to be here then it is him and he will dance his ass of tonight. Try to catch up, I bet you can't!"
I was quiet surprised, that was so nice. Wife is a dance instructor, has killer moves and styles, mixing in swing and modern dance. The kid who asked her left after a short while without goodbye. I don't know if she was just too shy or too embaressed she was with us old farts, but no one seemed to care.
We appreciate all the comments about V Recordings 💛 They are a crucial part of D&B history for sure. Check out this dedicated feature we made to celebrate 25 years of V last year, with Bryan, Serum and Paul T taking us into their favourite V releases. Some absolute classics in here!! 🙌 bit.ly/DnBTV_25_Years_of_V
Love how happy Bryan is in this, his enthusiasm is infectious!
Need For Mirrors - Greazy feat. Stapleton is an absolute tune, V have released some classics
put caption in pt br please
Why isn’t Rob Playford mentioned in this documentary?
god bless brothers , Respect
Can't believe I just watched such a great doc for free. Thank you so much for not just making this, but making it accessible for all. DnB is for the people!
shy fx deserves more credit than merely a passing reference.
and DJ Marky
There clearly just isnt enough time to fit all the players in who deserve more than a passing reference. Its a wonder they fit in all that they did in the short amount of time..
Ray Keith?
@@rickylovesyou But surely Original Nuttah was a pinnacle tune for Jungle, no? Deffo deserved a piece on itself
+ Nu:Tone, Logistics and many more...anyway still great one tho
Honestly the direction and editing of this doc brings it alive
Legit what I thought watching it. Sick documentary honestly
Who do you think is missing?
for me its Kenny Ken.
Dom and Roland
V Records (Bryan Gee), Doc Scott, Bukem (a few brief mentions but still)...quite a few left out. Still enjoyed the film immensely
Technical Itch, Dieselboy, Current Value, Ray Keith
Photek, Concord Dawn, Hive, Die, Audio, Dylan
Shy fx
Oh man, I felt this in my soul. I was introduced to DnB in 2004 and I loved the genre ever since. I'm almost 32 and it's practically the only music I listen to and fully enjoy. I have a visceral reaction when I hear a good tune. I wish I could give 1000 likes to this video. So many thanks to the people who worked really hard on this film!
Same here, there's no other sound that connects with me... Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one considering 90% of friends and family hate it 😂 so it's good to know there's others such as yourself lol
I am from Moscow, started to go to dnb parties in the year 2000. Now i am 34 and still love it 🍺
@@adambarrs92 I understand. I can count on one hand how many people I know in my personal life who will perk up when they hear it. The others don't know what they're missing 🤣
@@futur.5373 I wish I could have had that experience!!
@Mejo right?! You feel it and you can't sit still!
When they said "you're in this genre for life" it really rang true about my current journey of 24 years.
I understand not everyone can be mentioned there, but where is Mr Rupert Parks ? Genius Photek works are missing :(
Photek, Source Direct, Paradox, etc.. absolute geniuses
I was thinking this! Huge gaping hole.
Add Wax Doctor, PFM, Source Direct etc!
And no Reinforced!!!
Photek was briefly mentioned by total science I think
I don’t think this documentary will even slightly touch the surface of the whole scene remember back in the early nineties - mid nineties - late nineties there were regular Clubs/Events playing Original Hardcore/Jungle and onto that transition in 1995 to DnB who were packing these clubs/events out each and every weekend pushing the scene! Just because you see the likes of Ed rush, Andy C, Goldie etc.., it’s not these that solely pushed the scene just pay respects to many Clubs/DJ/Producers/Record Shops all over the UK that won’t make this documentary but have played a huge part 🙏👊
How about we wait until it's out to see ay?
Mike Biggs dream magazine/muzik used to be out every month in the nineties and reported on events, djs, producers, record shops etc.. and that magazine went on for a good few years so I can assure you a lot will get missed, dnbarena can’t possibly pack everything into this documentary. I’m sure it will be incredible though, no doubt!
You called it :-)
Shame there was no Calibre, Noisia, Bukem, Photek and Kemal interviews
should have played 1 track with Bukem and Conrad
Noisa put me in my place. I almost gave up producing...
Agreed. Where was the Calibre input ? He’s the god.
You know what's funny? No one realizes how many movies and shows D&B is in the background of lol. I love it. I always wondered why I liked watching Powerpuff Girls as a kid
Source Direct - Call and Response
Used in the movie Blade being a big one!
Great documentary, still feel No U-Turn should have been given a big focus, the stuff Nico did back in the mid nineties was a big importance to the scene.
Yes, mate. The label/ studio essentially invented tech step which gave birth to the whole hard D&B scene. Nico was killing it! A true visionary!!! Was so exciting when a NUT release dropped back in them days!!! The black label releases are still some of my faves to this day!!!
They could easily make this a 5 hour documentary and still forget people. everyone seems to have their own list of missing artists. For me personally, Dylan is a pretty big snub
@@WadaMalone Aye. Focussing on some Take That mash up nonsense when you could have been chatting with some heads from Therapy Sessions? I mean, come on...!
I’m so close to writing a monologue here about time and history but I won’t. But watching this has made me realise that I am so lucky, so ridiculously, amazingly, stupidly lucky to have lived and breathed so much of this history, so much so that I’ve got a massive smile on my face while tears roll.
Drum and Bass is life and it will give life for decades to come and while you can pick holes in who’s missing and what didn’t get mentioned this is still a great document to a spiritual form of music. I love you Drum and Bass. xx
I find it hard to stomach much of the modern "edm" ized "drum and bass. I cant even listen to it. There are great artists tho, you just gotta dig for the filth. I know a few "DnB" producers that dont even know when amen is, or own a copy of it in any form
As a Brazilian DnB lover, I feel proud seeing a Brazilian song here. Specifically, Carolina Carol Bela by DJ Marky at 23:48 (with the best known part at 25:21). Amazing memories listening to it back in the early 2000s.
This documentary was great, and now I got to know many more DnB artists, plenty of stuff to listen to! Looking forward to that!
your comment🤗👍❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥due to your words about Carol bela track. church🙌🙌
Upbeat and fresh
The original with Jorge is so good
Need to be a 10 part series, I hour episodes to even get close to covering everything
exactly
Correct.
Definitely!
I couldnt agree more
they missed a trick there could take it all the way to netflix lol
Teasing Messiah throughout and unloading it at the end was a nice touch!
Shy FX should be mentioned more. RIP Skibadee. Love this documentary ❤️
Shy FX was mentioned like they mentioned Marky!
&Bukem@@BrunoBucci
A guy called Gerald that album was classic ! Dom and Roland ! And this next one is a bit personal because I’m a northerner and I know them but elementz of noize never ever get a look in and they put out classic tunes on various labels and were great dj’s
The End was such an incredible experience back in the Ram records and Renegade Hardware nights. Memories that will remain forever
Renegade Hardware ,Ram,TOV ,Good Looking as residents ..at its peak there was no better club for d&b>>>
The ram and hardware nights were great at the end. One of my fav clubs. Such a good sound system.
Glad London Elektricity mentioned what a joke it was about the Take That collab with Sigma, still disappoints me massively today that happened.
jamescrowther1234 ...Even though one of the core artists signed to his label, Nu:Tone, did a remix of it for it’s official release 🤭
@Silent One That was a vile product aswell, something for love island season ticket holders to sit stroke their nipples to
Yep and it was awful
Yet Hospital's biggest tune of recent years is a karaoke version of a Beatles tune.
1:11:40 is a big reason I love dnb, its really technical and not easily manufactured. Not only is it just crazy and fun to dance to but I feel there's a constant level of appreciation for it that other genres just don't have. I think that people who enjoy dnb can recognize the level of intricacy that it takes to make dnb and that appreciation makes it feel all the more like a welcoming community while also adding a barrier of entry thats just enough to keep most fake music posers out
♥
Blimey no mention of Lenzman like one of the top 5 producers and no RIP marcus intalex 🤯
I reckon they only did a tribute to Spirit because he spoke in their documentary, but yeah felt a bit weird not seeing a Marcus tribute :(
@Trapjaw Lots was missing but no mention of Marcus Intalex at the end was just low..
"There only really two kings of this Music, Dillinja and Calibre. Everything in between is us." - Goldie
Love Goldie, true pioneer, but he does chat shit sometimes
Much love and respect to Calibre and Dillinja, ridiculous production tekkerz
90s dillinja anyway
Hes wrong...Andy C, Drumsound And Bassline Smith, Mampi Swift, Brockie, Break...too many legends to name in this scene
Yeah but Dillinja couldn't mix a beat to save his life...Funny really, def one of my fav producers from back in the day
Anyone else remember or used to post on the forums on DoA? Dogs On Acid? That was the place to be! I remember so many top producers posting there. Including early Evol Intent and Noisia.
Edit: I’m pretty sure the term “clownstep” over “Body Rock” was coined on DOA. Good times. That subgenre was and still is horrible lol.
Would someone please invent a Timetravel Machine... want to go back to the Year 1999! Big up from Berlin! ✌🏻
It was good but alot of my favourites weren't mentioned. I've been listening to jungle for 58 years so i know what i'm talking about. No Jason Status? He's my favourite MC. What about the Grooveriders? best jungle band ever! And them other fellas aswell can't remember their names... OH! Dom and Roland. I saw them DJ'ing back to back in 1973 and it was amazing. Next time you make a video i'll help you get it right if you want. I basically invented jungle anyway by listening to public enemy in my walkman while holding the fast forward button halfway in.
😂
V funny. I laughed.
1973 ,i remember that
You mean your 58 years old and still listening.
Jason Status!!!!
What a class song to open this documentary up with. Well done to everyone involved, brilliant doco.
yup
Agreed.✌️
Great but...where are Stakka & Skynet????????
Not a single word!! It's insane. Clockwork is one the best album...ever!!!
Never heard of them but now I'm intrigued and gonna check out that album. :)
@@ShaniAce Very happy that my comment get this effect, you're sooo right, check it out you won't regret, it's a masterpiece!
www.discogs.com/fr/Stakka-And-Skynet-Clockwork/master/34620
Skynet is the one true god of tech-step/neurofunk.
Sad to not see/hear more about Optiv and C4C too....Unmnetioned Tech/Neuro gods
@@CraxPfeife Absolutely right!! C4C defenitively amongst the best neuro producers!!
drum and bass 95-99 will always hold a place in my heart
best years
everything else is just noise :]
Anyone around my age (40) will agree (reluctantly but honestly) that DnB started going downhill around 2004 and completely fell off the cliff mid 2006. Sure there will be odd stuff here and there from but generally speaking everything post 2006 is awful in comparison to 96-03
everyone always says that, I got into it 04 and the scene was very healthy for 10 years after that. I still mix and there's still great music being released. Unfortunately there's also a lot of jump up atm.
Perth WA 90s and Naughties, awesome scene. Remember(just🤪) a lot of these guys coming down to play. 41 now and still a huge fan. DnB is life!
Represent Perth, capital city of DnB AU
Not gonna lie. DnB literally saved my life. It gave me an outlet, zoned me into myself. Would either be dead or in prison right now. From 1997 - beyond.
♥
where are Bryan Gee and Shy FX telling his stories? They were and are very important here in Brazil.
All the DJs here play V Recordings songs and Shy FX Tunes.
You played the V Rec songs but didn't speak to Bryan Gee, why?
Krust - Warhead
DJ Marky & XRS - LK
A.I. - Desperado
No mention of V is a travesty tbh
I'm surprised congo natty, mampi swift, the ragga twins, general levy, bombfunk, jumping jack frost, netsky, brookie, fats, just to name a few never got mentioned either
They should have made a series with several episodes. This missed off pirate radio. All those people and their tracks worked with the pirate radio movement.
slammer jammer 💯
This is the reality and the politics in the scene,as you can see not everybody is kool with everyone.. it's so blatantly obvious.
Check the official trailer here: bit.ly/DnB_TheMovement_DocumentaryTrailer
Amazing and enlightening Doc. Thank you
Yes yes !
Great doc loved every min, wish I had just bit the bullet and moved to the uk in the 90s... dnb for life!!!! Cant wait to see where it goes from here.
Can I make voice over for this vid?
Когда перевод будет, мой английский очень плох....
this was a really great documentary for people deep in the culture. as someone who's listened for 25+ years but doesn't know all the artists or sub-genres, i wish that the artists mentioned in passing had gotten more discussion along with clips of their music so i could understand their contribution without having to stop and go to spotify every 2.7 seconds. thanks for posting this.
Wel i will have my joints..munchies and my speakers atm max volume for this. Take me back to when music was music. Telepathyyyyyyy maaaaaaan..if u know u know
Oh please Pendulum didn’t pioneer Jack to the scene. That was a very stupid statement to make. The pioneers of the Jungle/D&B scene were the people at the very beginning!
Average documentary. How can you go through the history of Drum and Bass and not mention?: Bryan G, Brockie, Navigator, Moose, Det, Nicky BM, Mickey Finn, Ray Keith, etc...to name a few...or mention pirate radio stations!!! This was a very narrow synopsis of the scene which seemed more fussed about promoting certain artists then giving a full respect to those who have been with the scene from the beginning, as well as the diverse range of new talent.
Ps. Who cares about Take That?! The airtime is better spent on SDC, Photek, Bukem (who got totally overlooked), DJ Rap, and Serum/Voltage/Bladerunner/Benny L etc...shy fx,!!!!
You can't go through every artist, the emphasis is on the movements in dnb opposed all your favourite djs.
S-B oh, we’re talking artist that have made real differences in the scene. Gotcha. Where was Ray Keith, Bryan Gee, Jj Frost, LoL where was DJ Hazard? He single handily change the scene. This was typical DnB arena bullshit, probably orchestrated by Bailey
@@Captainchokeout3994 everyone you suggested hardly changed anything regarding production, even someone like twisted individual who was a pioneer of his jump up style didn't change anything, they are just allowed small variations
S-B lol I’m clearly communicating with someone that knows nothing. Goodbye
@@s-b6218 you fanboy
Got into DJing Drum & Bass at 16. now im 37 and im still a bedroom DJ and i probably suck but i love the sound!
1996 🤣It was fucking brilliant in 1992, when is started. Nice to have been there at the start. RIP MC Fats
Nice work, but "THE DnB Documentary" is a bit of a stretch when you leave out THAT many important people and labels.
I agree, but a documentary can only be so long. But id have sat through a dnb doc that was Netflix series length
They missed out pirate radio which was colossal mistake!!!!
There is a NEW Documentary on Drum&Bass History which is very different than this one and more focus on the origins & the evolution of Drum&Bass and also the different scenes in Europe. Check it here : th-cam.com/video/MwB-UIgwkho/w-d-xo.html ;)
I've been listening to drum & bass for 25 years and love it just as much as I did in 95. This was a great documentary with some awesome footage. I could watch a full 6 part series of this and never get bored. Thank you.
WTF.... about neurofunk? - I appreciate this documentary with all its interviews but the second half of it is glorifying dnb instead of further information of its history and development. When dnb ignited in Great Britain the early 90s for example- "3.) That UK Sound - Pirates, Mcs' and D'n'B Documentary" on YT for further information, especially the beginning of this movement, is highly recommended aswell.
I think this is focusing more on DnB rather than previous years of Jungle.. (when Jungle "became" DnB)
There is a NEW Documentary on Drum&Bass History which is very different than this one and more focus on the origins & the evolution of Drum&Bass and also the different scenes in Europe. Check it here : th-cam.com/video/MwB-UIgwkho/w-d-xo.html ;)
I'm so excited for this!!!
