The State of the Scene: Drum & Bass Meets the Mainstream

15 April 2024 - Jack Wadding

In 2024, it’s starting to feel as though you can’t move for Drum & Bass. Everywhere you look, everywhere you go, you hear the distinctly repetitive drum pattern booming out at 174 beats per minute.

You go to the gym, DnB.

You go to the supermarket, DnB.

You go to the football, DnB.

It’s becoming more and more obvious that Drum & Bass is starting to breach the limits of sub-culture and is moving dangerously close to the mainstream. For better or for worse? It’s hard to say.

Certainly, for the DnB community, it’s a nice surprise to finally see the genre we love get some recognition, particularly given that, historically, DnB has always been the younger sibling within the bass music family, seemingly bound to reside in the shadow of House and Techno. But with the current trajectory of DnB, all might be set to change.

It’s been hard to keep track of the growing popularity of Drum & Bass over the last few years – it’s always difficult to quantify such a subjective thing as ‘popularity’. But one undeniable measure has been the number of tracks reaching the heights of the UK Charts. Over the last 24 months alone, we’ve seen the genre strongly represented by tunes like Luude’s ‘Down Under’ (5) and ‘Big City Life’ (8), Chase & Status’ ‘Disconnect’ (6) and ‘Baddadan’ (5), goddard. & venbee‘s ‘Messy in Heaven’ (3), without forgetting the most popular of them all, Kenya Grace’s ‘Strangers’, which spent three weeks at number one last October thanks to its widespread usage on TikTok.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2TaAcwC_zI?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]

This rising trajectory of the genre in recent years has not gone unnoticed. Artists from a variety of different scenes have identified its potential and have taken the opportunity to invest in the rising stock that is DnB with rappers being perhaps the best example.

While Drum & Bass has relied on the vocal talents of MCs from its very beginnings, we’re now seeing a trend of lyricists with few previous links to the genre jumping on the bandwagon, convinced either by its lucrative potential, or by a genuine musical passion driven by the quality of the genre itself.

Who can say which is the more powerful motivator.

Last summer, for instance, K Motionz teamed up with Reading rapper Songer to produce ‘Vino Bandit’ – a hugely popular song within the community which itself reached number 47 on the UK charts. Higher profile examples include ArrDee, who collaborated with Hedex and DnB legends Chase & Status to create ‘Liquor & Cigarettes’, and Tion Wayne who recently released ‘Lowkey’, also with Hedex. ArrDee was also seen performing with K Motionz at Drumsheds in London teasing a tune reportedly called ‘Heavyweight’, which the DJ later posted on his Instagram.

For context, these two rappers currently total 11 million monthly listeners between them on Spotify. Even triple Brit-winner Stormzy is rumoured to have a collab with Chase & Status in the works, with clips circling on social media.

But rappers are not the only high-profile individuals aligning themselves with the growing genre. DJs, singers and celebrities are also seeing the opportunity that Drum & Bass now presents, some taking it less subtly than others.

Indeed, just this week, Martin Garrix, perhaps the definitive example of a mainstream DJ, played Arcando’s DnB remix of The Chainsmokers’ ‘Jungle’ at Miami’s EDM festival, Ultra.

One more baffling example was the appearance of Vikram Singh Barn (who you’ll more likely know as Vikkstar123 from the extremely popular YouTube group, The Sidemen) on stage with Bou at Studio338 last month. What’s more, the most famous individual of the same group, KSI, released ‘Not Over Yet’, a DnB track produced by Digital Farm Animals, in August 2022.

And, believe it or not, in October of last year, Jess Glynne of ‘Rather Be’ fame released ‘Friend of Mine’, a poppy, 174-bpm track produced by none other than DnB icon Sub Focus, right as ‘Strangers’ sat at the top of the UK charts. Appealing as the song is, you have to question how well Jess Glynne and her track really fit into the world of Drum & Bass. It’s rather a challenge to imagine ‘Friend of Mine’ being played to a crowd of dedicated ravers at a well-respected venue like Manchester’s Warehouse Project, for instance.

The same goes for KSI and ‘Not Over Yet’. Which really begs the question: who are songs like these for? Realistically they belong at the gym, the supermarket and public events.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k80GnU6218k?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]

With this in mind, you have to consider the implications of such a trend on the future of the Drum & Bass scene.

To what extent is the mainstream affecting the scene in a positive fashion?

Without throwing around accusations of cultural appropriation, it is certainly clear that such individuals are gaining more from associating themselves with the genre than they are giving back. By now, it is clear that the size of the audience to be captured is significant.

With Drum & Bass becoming the trending genre in mainstream music, releasing poppy, palatable tunes at 174bpm is becoming a reliable way to get your song heard on the radio and in public, making it a lucrative option.

This opportunistic approach to the genre presents quite the dilemma for those already within the scene. For many years, the Drum & Bass community has prided itself on its inclusivity, welcoming people from all sorts of backgrounds. Indeed, this is one of the factors that has contributed to the strikingly special, communal feeling almost all ravers experience, as well as the growing variety of subgenres developing within the scene.

It’s thanks to the variety of influences being brought to the genre that new and exciting sonic palates are being pushed forward. Diversity is undoubtedly a positive influence.

As a result, it’s particularly difficult to say who should and who shouldn’t be making Drum & Bass or publicly associating themselves with the scene. But when it comes to online celebrities, something certainly doesn’t sit right.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkjNL4dX-U4?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]

Many ravers would argue that DnB’s rising popularity will finally bring it the recognition it deserves. For many years and within certain circles, revealing your love for Drum & Bass felt like confessing a sin. Even now, a large proportion of people misunderstand the genre, focussing on its largely negative stereotypes.

Certainly, it’s refreshing to have an increasing number of positive reactions now that awareness of the genre and its complexities is growing. But the problem with this is that the Drum & Bass that hits the mainstream is generally of a certain type. Perhaps with the exception of ‘Baddadan’, the Top 10 tracks listed earlier lean generally more towards the influence of pop music. A great example of this was Becky Hill’s performance of ‘Disconnect’ at the Brits last month. I can’t have been the only one who found the X-Factor-style staging with the groups of ‘raving’ back-up dancers slightly off-putting.

Despite the genuinely significant achievement for Chase & Status of winning the award for Best Producer, and their sincerity in their pride to “represent Drum & Bass music”, the staged production of the song felt distinctly disingenuous. Instinctively, Drum & Bass simply does not belong in this world. It belongs in clubs, festivals and warehouses.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRN8cWN_cl8?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]

The greatest fear going forward, then, is the dilution of our culture. While there are undeniably a great number of benefits to the rapid growth of DnB, if things continue in this way, it’s a worrying possibility that the music that we love will be wrested from our grip by popular culture and repurposed to fit the mould that already exists.

Fortunately, the underground community is unlikely to be affected: intimate events will undeniably continue. But large-scale events are realistically the most at-risk. It’s not impossible to imagine an influx of unknowing ‘fans’ to the festival scene as it meets popular culture.

If Drum & Bass does indeed continue to grow at its current pace, the coming years will be particularly interesting as to how the scene develops and, while there is no one right way of doing things, no way of controlling the movement, there are undoubtedly elements of pop culture to be avoided. While it’s by no means time to panic, it’s certainly cause for concern: the celebration of the genre’s growth must be balanced with caution for its effect on the culture that is special to so many.

Get Lost in ‘States Of Euphoria’ EP by Lolah, Out Now on Bamboleo Records with Remixes by Cristina Lazic & Sascha Dive

15 April 2024 - Data Transmission Staff

Marking their thirtieth release, Neverdogs’ respected underground imprint Bamboleo Records welcomes Australian-born, Barcelona-based DJ/Producer Lolah with her debut EP on the label. Released on 22nd March and featuring two original cuts from Lolah, her ‘States Of Euphoria’ EP also comes with standout remixes from in-demand Milanese artist Cristina Lazic and renowned German talent Sascha Dive.

[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/1796409474" params="visual=true&show_artwork=true&maxheight=1000&maxwidth=1140" width="100%" height="450" iframe="true" /]

The EP kicks off with ‘Hypnotica,’ bringing bumpy drum grooves and glitchy percussive swing fused with a momentous bassline melody, modular sequencing, atmospheric string-led breaks and sleek musicality throughout. The title cut ‘States Of Euphoria’ comes next, delivering yet more weighty, chunky drum work and intricately layered percussive movement. Another killer vocal hook features on this one, diving in between quirky synths, organs and a vivid sub-bass melody, creating endless cadence throughout the mix.

“‘States Of Euphoria’ is a story of the euphoric states I have reached through music, the dance floor, immersed in strangers, obtaining bite size bits of wisdom that I take into my normal life. Of the global relationships we create, although cultural difference or geographical distance between us, a core fundamental understanding of one another through a simple glance or pass of hand. It is a moment of intense connection. You are not alone.” – Lolah

We move into the second half of the EP with Cristina Lazic as she delivers the first of two trademark spins, taking the original cut and reshaping it into a stripped-back, signature underground roller. Sascha Dive follows this up with his interpretation, delivering his ‘Out Of Body Experience’ remix as an immersive, pleasantly prolonged, and sonically dreamy minimal cut to round off the release.

Lolah’s ‘States Of Euphoria’ EP (incl. Cristina Lazic & Sascha Dive Remixes) is available now via Bamboleo Records.

DIØN, Emerging Dutch Techno Artist, Presents Long-awaited Hard Techno Rework of ‘Public Enemies’ on Rough Material Label

15 April 2024 - Data Transmission Staff

The unstoppable rise of new-age Hard Techno has brought many exciting prospects, but few have sparked as much excitement as emerging Dutch youngster DIØN. Already touring internationally and garnering the support of some of the genre’s most influential tastemakers, including Amelie Lens, Sara Landry and Fatima Haji, DIØN is set to unveil one of his most in-demand tracks as he prepares to launch the Hard Rework of ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ on his Rough Material imprint on 29th March 2024. Download/stream it here: https://ffm.to/rough002.

[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1787513545" params="visual=true&show_artwork=true&maxheight=1000&maxwidth=1140" width="100%" height="400" iframe="true" /]

A consummate Hard Techno banger laced with retro, rave-inspired sounds, this reimagination of ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ perfectly embodies everything that has made DIØN one of the genre’s most appealing breakthrough talents. Building around its core of pounding kicks and relentless percussive drive, the track’s continuum of unpredictable variations, especially its nostalgic rave siren sequence, make it an unparalleled peak-time stomper, built solely for demanding dancefloors and potent sound systems.

The original version of ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ has been a definitive indicator of DIØN’s exponential popularity, racking up several million streams across all available platforms and breaking into Beatport’s illustrious Top 100. With big boots to fill, 2024’s long-awaited revamp of his most significant release has already started to spark hype amongst his fans and the wider Techno community. Just as he did with the original, the Hard Rework of ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ has featured exclusively in DIØN’s sets for months, making it the only place anyone has heard it. The intense and continuous demand for an official release date, which stretches back deep into DIØN’s jam-packed 2023 gig schedule, clearly indicates how sought-after his anthemic releases and undeniably memorable performances are fast becoming.

Further adding to the occasion and marking a monumental second release on his Rough Material imprint, DIØN has also designed a limited number of label-branded ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ Bomber Jackets, Hoodies, and T-shirts to be released alongside the single on 29th March.

Rave Legend Slimpatt’s Slip Back In Time Returns To Ibiza

15 April 2024 - Data Transmission Staff

Seminal rave legend, Slipmatt, is heading to Ibiza once again this summer with Slip Back In Time presents Old Skool Ibiza 2024.

Taking place over a week from 15th – 22nd May in venues including Eden, Es Paradis, Ibiza Rocks, Itaca, Casanova Summum and more, Old Skool Ibiza brings together an up-for-it community of lifelong ravers for a week of DJs by the pool, club nights and the best tunes from across the decades.

DJs lined up include some of the biggest names from back in the day, including Slipmatt, K-Klass, Shades Of Rhythm, Ratpack, Utah Saints, Brandon Block, Alex P, Mark Archer (Bizarre Inc / Altern-8), Rob Tissera, Nicky Blackmarket, Graham Gold, Marcella Woods and many more – over 100 DJs and artists on the lineup.

Back in the 90s, Slipmatt played weekly residencies at Eden, Summum, and a small club called Nightlife at the bottom of San Antonio’s West End – one of the original Ibiza clubs that played Acid House. This was where Slip Back In Time began. As someone who has travelled to Ibiza hundreds of times over the last 30 years, Matt brings unrivalled experience to Old Skool Ibiza, an annual event that has developed into a welcoming community based on a love of old skool music and parties.

Slipmatt comments, “Every year Slip Back In Time Presents Old Skool Ibiza gets better and better. The music, the people, the atmosphere – we’ve got it bang on which is why our community keeps growing and coming back every year. It’s so much fun!”

Slip Back In Time Presents Old Skool Ibiza guests can join an all-inclusive week, staying anywhere between 3 and 7 days. All packages include a welcome pack, hotel accommodation, food, drink and free entry to everything (except the boat party). The event takes place at the San Remo and S’Estanyol, two hotels that are linked together as one complex, allowing everyone to hang out with each other as much as they like. The hotels are right next to the beach, and each has a pool to relax and socialise. The tunes start with perfect vibes from midday. For any guests who might want to stay in their own villa Slip Back In Time also offers tickets for night time club event entry only.

The Poolside vibes continue all week with added extras from Peach on 19th May, Eruption Radio on 20th May and then the official ‘Rave Awards’ on 21st May – an annual tongue-in-cheek special that hands out awards to the biggest ravers of the week.

Friday 17th May sees the daytime boat party ‘Slip-Wrecked’ set sail from the pier outside the San Remo Hotel at 1pm for a 4 hour rave on the waves, with Ratpack, Nico & Dean, Rob Tissera and more.

As always, things get naughty when the sun goes down and 2024 promises some quality collaborations for guests to enjoy. Slip Back In Time hooks up with Culture Shock at Casanova Summum for the opening party on 15th May, then Bingo Bango & We Love Ibiza at Ibiza Rocks on 16th May.

On 17th May Slip Back In Time celebrates its 24th birthday with The White Party at Es Paradis, then it’s Slip Back In Time Meets Amnesia House on 18th. The big collab on the 19th is with Peach at Eden, and on 20th May Slip Back In Time Meets Housework at Itaca Ibiza.

It’s back to Casanova Summum for the final blowout – Slip Back In Time Meets Rave House for the closing party on 21st May.

Slip Back In Time Presents Old Skool Ibiza is like nothing else on the white isle. This is the rave generation that never grew up, open and friendly, and embracing the old skool, up-for-it attitude. With a ‘who’s who’ line up of quality DJs dropping the best old skool and rave house it’s an unforgettable experience.

A 7-day trip starts at just £645 all-inclusive (based on 3 sharing for the full 7 nights – flights not included). More information on events and booking can be found at www.slipbackintime.com.
