Drill 'n' bass is a style of electronic music which developed in the mid-1990s as IDM artists began experimenting with elements of drum and bass, breakbeat, and jungle music.[1][2] Artists utilized powerful audio software programs and deployed frenzied, irregular tempos that often discouraged dancing.[3][4] The experimental style was often interpreted as having a lightly parodic relationship with the dance styles that inspired it.[5]
History
Early exponents of drill 'n' bass included Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and Luke Vibert.[6][7] Pioneering releases in the style included Aphex Twin's Hangable Auto Bulb EP (1995) and Squarepusher's Conumber EP (1995). By the end of the 1990s, the style had largely dissipated.[8]
