Fast-paced electronic music built around breakbeats and heavy sub-bass. Originating from UK rave culture, it spans liquid, neurofunk, jungle, and more.
Track elements
Breakbeat — Start from a classic break (Amen, Think Break, Apache) and chop it up.
Sub Bass — Deep, heavy sub — use a sine wave or round-edged waveform.
Mid Bass / Reese — A distorted, growling mid-range bass is a DnB staple.
Pads & Atmosphere — Dark, evolving pads in the background for depth.
Lead / Melody — Liquid DnB: Rhodes, piano, and lush synth leads.
Structure — Intro (16 bars of atmosphere) → Build → Drop → Breakdown → Drop 2 → Outro.
Vocals / Ragga — DnB vocals range from liquid soul to ragga MC toasting — keep them high-energy.
