Drill n bass is an intense, hyperkinetic style of electronic music that emerged in the mid-1990s, fusing the complex breakbeat programming of jungle and drum and bass with experimental, often chaotic production techniques. Characterized by extremely fast, intricately chopped and manipulated drum breaks, abrasive textures, and unpredictable song structures, it pushes rhythmic complexity to provocative extremes. The tag represents a cerebral, avant-garde approach to dance music that prioritizes technical innovation and sonic experimentation over dancefloor functionality.
