Drum & Bass

JMAU5's RDY VIP episode is a standout for drum & bass fans. As a producer primarily known for bass music, JMAU5 discusses the creative leap required to write his debut drum & bass EP — the different tempo, the breakbeat structures, the production techniques that distinguish D&B from other bass music subgenres. He breaks down what it takes to hold a crowd's energy at D&B tempos versus the half-time rhythms of dubstep, offering a comparative perspective that illuminates both genres. Nadiya (Nani0203), tagged under rave culture, also touches on the drum & bass community's role in Phoenix's growing electronic music ecosystem.
