I cannot finish the challenge without introducing you to one of the most influential Drum'n'Bass artists, the London based group London Elektricity (yes, it's spelled this way). Founded by mastermind Tony Colman the sound also lived from the voices of Jazz singer Liane Carroll and MC 'MC Wrec' (Jon Bailey).
Their genre of Drum'n'Bass was referred to as Liquid DnB which made it a little more popular but nonetheless speedy dance music. Being one of the few DnB live acts they had a special audience of their own.
I learned about DnB in my years as a volunteer at a free radio station ran by a public club.
For about 2 years I also went to DnB parties and had a nice contact with a producer from Mannheim.
I have kept quite some records from that time but my interest kinda stopped in 2008 or 2009.
