An Essay on Drum and Bass.

[marcelkennard]

I am writing a 5000 word essay on Drum and Bass for my studies at university. Has anyone come across any articles or texts relevant to drum and bass that could be used academically? I am thinking of focusing on the relevance of the music in youth culture today but if anyone has any interesting suggestions or ideas for angles with which I can approach the subject then please share ta

There was a really good interview with Shy FX, trigga (with 2 eyes)and a few other peeps from ages ago. might be of some use to you, that is really the main issue they focus on.

You need to read All Crews

Then you will have more than enough information

 

[DeeGun]

the final sentence could be, "and thats why we listen to drum n bass"

alternative last sentence: And now for something completely different.

All Crews for sure ! other than that theres quite some decent videos on youtube

 

[theone]

All crews is a must be I think you might be lacking in sources if you are writing a 5,000 word essay. Whats the actual title of the essay?

 

[Niz Naz]

theres a documentary on youtube called 'talking headz' which briefly goes through meadheadz' history...a label thats obvs helped dnbs longevity, so may want to look into that. Also was meaning to get all crews, how old isi?

ive read a pretty good essay on dnb from like 1999. dunno if i can find that again tho..

 

[sam the dnb man]

All in all I think the pedestrianization of Norwich City Center will be disastrous for local tradesmen

 

[jeff1982]

that video shows trough its duration so much pixels that I could count in on fingers of one hand

 

[dizzzeejungle]

ha, gl finding peer reviewed articles on dnb

IMO, i'd research drugs & music, youth trends, music production or something like that, then just apply it to dnb

gl anyway !

It all started from here.... go to 1:28.. the drum break that arguably started dnb

Then read this...
