BASS LAB

18/09/2024

At our Bass Lab events we always aim to have a line up of DJ's who bring different styles to the mix so we give you a full spectrum Drum & Bass experience.

Since its emergence from the Rave scene in the early 90's Drum and Bass has fractured into many different subgenres.To the untrained ear it may be difficult to differenciate one from another so we will be breaking down each subgenre with 5 examples.

JUMP UP

Jump Up emerged as as a subgenre of Jungle and Drum and Bass and was characterized by its high-energy beats, chopped-up breakbeats, and heavy basslines.
During the mid to late 1990s, Jump Up experienced a surge in popularity in clubs and raves with DJs and producers experimenting with new sounds and techniques to create tracks that would get crowds jumping.
Thanks in part to pioneering artists and labels such as DJ Hype, G***a Records, and True Playaz. Tracks like DJ Hype’s “Roll The Beats” and G***a Kru’s “Super Sharp Shooter” produced by DJ Zinc became anthems of the genre.
Jump Up has gone through different waves in popularity, with a second surge in the mid 2000s with artist llike Hazard , Turno and Dj Guv and on to today and artists like Mozey and Hedex

Here are 9 examples.

NEUROFUNK

The first sounds of neurofunk emerged from techstep within the larger musical genre of drum and bass and jungle during the late nineties. Techstep garnered a name for itself during the mid-nineties when rave (especially in the UK) was dying out, and amassed popularity quickly.
Neurofunk's early evolution – when diverging from techstep – can be heard on Ed Rush and Optical's Funktion (1997) single for V Recordings as well as on their first album Wormhole (1998) for Virus Recordings.
Over the years , especially since the mid 2000's there seems to be less emphasis on the funk side of things as more producers are leaning the the heavier style of Neuro.

Here are 5 examples.

1. Ed Rush & Optical - Funktion
2. Konflict - Messiah
3. Audio - Collision
4. Current Value - Rocket Science
5. Mean Teeth - 3 Minutes (TR Tactics Remix )
