It’s not just Fred again fans trying to identify an unfamiliar genre. Drum & bass, jungle, and breaks are back in a big way – both in the underground and on the UK charts. Chase & Status have earned #1 records, artists like Kenya Grace are going viral, and there's a vanguard of producers like Tim Reaper and Nia Archives waving the flag for the genres while continuing to push them forward. But did drum & bass and jungle ever really go away? And what's led to the current pop embrace? Our hosts OttO Kent and Juba asked DJ NORTHERN, the co-founder of Berlin's drum & bass party FACILITATE alongside DJ Flounce, as well as a co-founder of Garage Girls, to share their perspective on this resurgence - what's exciting, what's frustrating, and where things might go from here.
