D&B (also written as drum and bass, DnB, dnb, d’n’b, drum n bass, drum & bass) is a type of electronic dance music which emerged in the mid 1990s. The genre is characterised by fast tempo broken beats (generally between 160–180 beats per minute, but also having occasional differences in some older compositions), with heavy sub basslines. The genre roots itself in the UK rave scene, and has spread around the world, notably to Europe, Russia, and the USA.
