“When you’re drum & bass, you really are — you get it, and there’s nothing else like it. You can’t get assimilated into 4/4, your tempo doesn’t fit in with other genres — it is what it is, and the uniqueness of it is why it’s still around. That’s a big contributing factor in its longevity.”
Jurassik, aka Ben Child, first got into dance music in the late '90s via jungle/drum & bass. “Anything with a skippy sampled break, really,” he tells DJ Mag. “I also loved the dark and rugged vibe of the early breakbeat scene around the same time — Fuel Records, Adam Freeland's Marine Parade Records, the legendary Botchit & Scarper.”
