The History of Drum & Bass (DNB)
Drum & bass (DNB) is a genre of electronic music that emerged in the UK during the early 1990s, evolving from jungle, hardcore, and breakbeat rave. Known for its fast breakbeats (usually between 160–180 BPM), deep basslines, and futuristic sound design, DNB quickly became a defining sound in UK club culture.
- Origins: Drum & bass grew out of the jungle scene, with producers like Goldie, Roni Size, LTJ Bukem, and Fabio & Grooverider pushing the sound forward. The focus shifted to even faster rhythms, intricate drum programming, and darker, more atmospheric vibes.
- Sound: DNB is characterized by rapid, syncopated drum patterns, heavy sub-bass, and a mix of samples from funk, reggae, and ambient music. The genre is constantly evolving, with subgenres ranging from liquid funk to neurofunk and jump-up.
- Culture & Community: The DNB scene has always been about inclusivity, unity, and pushing boundaries—on the dancefloor and in fashion. The look: bold graphics, oversized tees, hoodies, bucket hats, and trainers, all built for movement and individuality.
- Legacy: Drum & bass remains a global force, with massive festivals, legendary club nights, and a loyal fanbase. Its influence can be seen in everything from pop and hip hop to streetwear and visual art.
For Dream But Do Not Sleep®, DNB represents innovation, energy, and the underground spirit that inspires so many of our designs.
