Adjectives people use to describe DnB tunes.

Surely a roller is obvious, though it's a little hard to put into words... anything that rolls just keeps going round and round right, like repeating itself over and over? So in a dnb sense, a roller is a tune where the beat and bassline keeps going with the same pattern, with nothing 'stopping' them, or nothing cutting the tune up. Kind of like there's no place where you could say the beat starts over.

To add to this, to me a roller is a track that is carried by its style and groove. It doesn't necessarily rely on ridiculous processing or unique ideas, it's the infectious simplicity that lets it roll effortlessly. With a true roller, you can listen to it on repeat for an hour even if it's essentially just a looped 8 bar phrase. A classic example is Spectrasoul - Alibi.
