You’ll hear a lot about GOLDIE, ANDY C, and GROOVERIDER being the pioneers of DRUM N BASS. It’s less seldom that people delve further back into JUNGLE’s roots, and credit REBEL MC as the genre’s true Granddaddy. REBEL MC He first rose to stardom, in the late 80′s, with a UK chart topper, titled STREET [...]

This month’s topic is the introduction of Top 40 artists sampling house songs and rapping over them. While ViVi was certain the 2008 Mims remix of Enur’s ‘Calabria’ had spurred this phenomenon, of course, Pitbull was the first, and true pioneer of this style. Well wait, before we rip on Pitbull, let’s look at a [...]

Let’s take it back to the early days of HARDCORE. The year was 1995, and everyone was on E. Really, they were.

I consider ORIGINAL NUTTAH, the 1994 classic JUNGLE anthem, by SHY FX & UK APACHI, to be the greatest DRUM N BASS track in history. It’s a difficult point to argue, because it really is a very subjective thing. But I CAN make a few key points in its favour. There is very little EDM [...]

Hey it’s a monday in a month and I’m posting something! A while back Pete posted a terrible breakcore tune and said something about breakcore being terrible. Well I disagree, to me, breakcore is the truest modern expression of the crazy, off-the-wall, sample-heavy, sometimes tongue-in-cheek , straight-up mental attitude of  proper 92 breakbeat hardcore.
