20 - Why Representation Matters for Drum & Bass Culture


Listen Later

It’s easier to feel like you belong when you see someone who looks like you, coming from where you came from, doing the thing you want to do.


We should embrace everyone’s differences. Not just on a musical level but a human level. We all have our own stories and unique look at the world around us, and that informs everything we put into this culture. The music, the media, the raves. Drum and bass or not, we’re all people and the people are what make this culture what it is. Seek to understand and involve people from different backgrounds than you.


Be inclusive, not exclusive. Dubs are exclusive - The Rave should be inclusive.
