Drill 'n' bass

Drill 'n' bass is a style of electronic dance music which developed in the mid-1990s as IDM artists began experimenting with elements of drum and bass, breakbeat, and oldschool jungle music, utilizing powerful audio software programs, and deploying frenzied, irregular tempos that often discouraged dancing. The experimental style was often interpreted as having a lightly parodic relationship with the dance styles that inspired it.
