Drum & Bass DJ Pool

Drum and bass is fast, breakbeat-driven and built on heavy sub-bass, usually at 170 to 176 BPM, with 174 as the standard. It covers the soulful side of liquid, the technical sound of neurofunk, the energy of jump up and the chopped breaks of jungle. Because of the tempo, many DJs also play it in half-time with slower genres.

Tips for mixing Drum & Bass

Drum and bass is mixed fast: tracks have long intros, and the drop usually comes after 32 or 64 bars, so cue the next track early.
Try double drops: lining up the drops of two compatible tracks is one of the signature moves of the genre.
Keep only one sub-bass at a time. Cut the lows of the incoming track until the swap.
