Drum & Bass is a type of electronic dance music which originated in London in the 1990s. The genre originally began as an off-shoot of the early 90s rave scene but over the years has gained more fans and morphed into a genre in its own right. Typical characteristics of drum & bass include heavy bass & sub-bass lines which can be physically felt through large and powerful sound systems because of the low range of frequencies. The backbeats form a canvas on which producers can layer tracks to appeal to virtually any taste, making drum & bass very popular in today's music scene. The genre is widely promoted through use of the internet (Youtube, blogs) and radio but gains less exposure on TV. Saying this, TV exposure is growing and drum n bass continues to gain popularity in mainstream music. Pendulum's 2005 album 'Hold Your Colour' is the biggest-selling drum and bass album of all time.
Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music which originated in London in the late 1990s. The differences between Dubstep and Drum & Bass are that unlike the fast breakbeats of Drum & Bass, Dubstep has a 2step rythm and puts more emphasis on 'dark' basslines as well as wobble bass and popular bass drops. Dubstep is a lot slower then Drum & Bass.
