Renegade Snares is the definitive book on drum & bass music.
Pieced together using original interviews conducted with all the
scene s main players, it traces the history of jungle/drum &
bass from its early roots in soundsystem culture and rave music
right through to the present day. With its hyper-speed breakbeats,
warping bass pressure, and vast spectrum of sounds, drum & bass
quick spawned a whole new movement in youth culture. What began as
an outlaw street reverberation from the inner cities of Britain
developed into a Mercury-winning, chart-topping, world-conquering
genre in just a few short years. The frontier-breaking sorcery that
emanated from its foundational producers and DJs pushed new levels
of sonic science into the music world, and it has influenced all
other electronic music genres in assorted ways. From the shock of
the new to a global phenomenon, drum & bass has morphed from
frowned-upon marginalisation to establishment approval -- and back
again. A multicultural triumph, it is a story of resistance and
resilience that takes in pioneers such as Goldie, Roni Size,
Kemistry & Storm, Photek, Fabio & Grooverider, and many
more renegade mavericks -- even, at one point, David Bowie. With
vivid descriptions of key tracks and a detailed lineage of the
scene s development, Renegade Snares traces the genre s gestation
while also examining its musical twists and turns, worldwide
spread, and enduring popularity. And, ultimately, it asks: surely a
genre of music with such a significant grounding in black music
culture, developed by so many black pioneers in its formative
years, could never be whitewashed . . . could it?
