Breakbeat, UK Garage and Bassline have one thing in common: none of them runs on a straight kick. These DJs play the broken-beat side of British club music, from skipping 2-Step to breakneck Jungle.
The first time you hear UK garage, you notice something is off in the best way. The hi-hats skip, the bass bounces, the vocals are chopped and pitched up. In the late 90s this sound ran on London pirate radio and in the clubs, and it still sounds like Sunday night and a good mood.
Bassline and Speed Garage make it rougher, with basslines that jump right at you. Breakbeat takes a different route, built on drum breaks from funk and hip hop, sometimes playful, sometimes stomping. Jungle is the fast, wild side, chopped breaks over deep sub-bass with a shot of reggae. Drum and bass grew out of it.
This music is everywhere again. A lot of younger DJs mix garage, breaks and jungle in one set and move between tempos without effort [CHECK]. That's what makes these sets so alive. They never stay in one place for long.
If you want to bridge house and drum and bass on one floor, this is where to look.

Dark Zenith (Reflective Sounds / Sonitus // Berlin) Dark Zenith has been involved with Drum & Bass for nearly two decades and was able to get to know many facets of this genre.

jivee
Leipzig, Germany
DJ, manchmal Producer, Teil von equalize Leipzig und bass focus, ab und an hinterm Mikro für FAT:vibez und hinterm Schreibtisch für Kolumnen über Clubkultur bei Ahoi Leipzig. Ach, und Mum of Artist Spotter hihi. Ich komme aus der Bassmusik, bin im Drum and Bass verwurzelt, lasse mich aber auch gern von anderen Genres verführen. Dubstep und UGK lege ich gerade besonders gern auf. Hauptsache deep, dark, bouncy und gern mit ein paar unerwarteten Abzweigungen. Ich mag Sets, die sich bewegen, überraschen und trotzdem nie vergessen, dass am Ende vor allem getanzt werden soll.
Hemilotl
Leipzig, Germany
Hey there, I'm Hemiltol. When I'm not trying to improve our train-infrastructure, I'm producing Drum & Bass, Dubstep, and UK Garage. I love the full spectrum—from liquid DnB and UKG to hard, high-energy bass music. My sets are built to bring out two kinds of faces on the dancefloor: smiling ones and bass-distorted ones.
