Saturday Skool Week 2: Drum and Bass

Drum and Bass brings EDM back to the original, old school "rave" music.  Drum and Bass has been around for a while now but newer takes on it and additions of fast vocals have made it one of my favorite less known styles of EDM. D and B is known for its fast breakbeats and at times can be repetitive, but if the track is hot enough it doesn't really matter if its on loop.  The first tracks are by Rudimental. Wow. Beyond the vocals this girl and guy have, they are just insane.  Next time someone tries to argue that EDM music takes no talent, show them live Drum and Bass, like this video.  Something about trumpets and percussions in techno music really gets me going.  The amount of live sounds and the lack of prerecorded beats makes it that much more insane.

Rudimental - Waiting All Night ft. Ella Eyre:

(The guy singing is white, I swear)

This would be a more traditional example of Drum and Bass:
