Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

If you’re not very interested in dance music, you might have no idea what “drum and bass” is.

Drum and bass—one form of electronic music said to have evolved from the genre known as jungle—emerged around the mid-1990s, and by the late ’90s there were hit songs that employed drum and bass techniques.

In this article, we introduce classic drum and bass tracks that continue to evolve in their own way even in the 2020s.

From timeless classics to recent standouts, enjoy a selection of masterpieces that also showcase fusions with genres like rock and jazz.
