drum and bass
Fast British electronica
Drum and bass is a genre of electronic dance music that emerged from the UK rave scene in the early 1990s, characterized by fast breakbeats (typically 160-180 beats per minute) and heavy bass lines.
The style grew out of jungle music and incorporates elements of reggae, hip-hop, and techno.
Subgenres include liquid funk, neurofunk, and jump-up.
The club's Thursday nights are dedicated to drum and bass.
