?? who invented this genre? and which was the first release? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know for sure, but I would assume that the Richard D. James album would have been one of the first. |

i heard it was luke vibert (tho the first true drill n bass album would be go plastic for me) |

richard d james album and big loada by squarepusher i'd say, dont know which came first though. i read somewhere it may have been luke vibert aswell, i assume they were talking about the plug album, not sure thats drill though really. |

the first drill records were probably the plug ep's. I don't know if I'd consider the plug album drill and bass. maybe the first full length would be feed me weird things or the rdj album. it's a pretty vague classification anyway. |

plus there were jungle records before all this with very scattered snares and such anyway. it's not like it came out of nowhere. |

and it was not long until the genre was given a name.. Plug - Drum 'n' Bass For Papa? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ah yes, those eps were around 1995 if i can recall correctly |

The term "Drill'n'Bass" was coined by Neil Jones who's press company Unitary PR worked for Orbital, Richard Kirk, µ-Ziq etc.. and he was the first to use it in a press release for "Urmur Bile Trax". The first drill'n'bass releases were undoubtedly Luke Vibert's Plug 1 and Plug 2 EPs. Followed 6(?) months later by AFX's Hangable Autobulb EPs... Squarepusher arrived sometime later and his early material was totally a Plug 2 ep rip-off. Plug 2 itself was a total rip-off of 94/95 Jungle. but to distinguish it Lukeadded cheesy samples and a different drum fill or effect every bar (or whatever). Also in 95 Alec Empire released material on Riot Beatz which could be described as drill... (12"/10") But the first album must be RDJ album--Dec '95. followed by >[]FMWT in May '96... The Destroyer by Alec Empire in 96... (drum'n'bass 4 papa is not drill'n'bass imo)... etc |

Hangable Auto Bulb would have been my guess. |

To recap I suppose that the 93/94/95 hardcore/jungle interface was the precursor to drill'n'bass. labels like Ibiza in 92/93/94 were introducing cut-up breaks and rolls, by 94/95 Suburban Base were releasing Marvellous Cain/Remarc/D'Cruze/Pure etc 12"s and albums which are every bit as "complex" as Squarepusher (if that's a complement?- I don't know). The Renk, Tearin Vinyl and Splash labels in 95 released some of the most spastic cut-up beats ever made... in fact I'm sure that "54 Cymru Beats" samples Embee's "Ruff & Tuff" (Splash 001, side B). But the scene changing record at the time (1994) which took over all the pirates with it's joyous combination of ravey sub bass, soul strings, reggae samples and a ragga (or hiphop?) sample combined with COMPLETELY mashed-up/pitched-around amens and MASSIVE snare-rushes in tune with the wobbly bass was Aphrodite's (aka Amazon 2) Beat Boo Yaa (aph 08?) and it's remix (aph11) - which were the inspiration for Squarepusher's "Go Spastic" track (in fact he wholesale rips it off - quotes it's drumbeats entirely...) please also see my UKGarage article on: http://www.absorb.org/articles/ukgarage/index.html |

that's good info... i like to think of songs like 73yips on the ON ep also as early drill'n'bass |

jungle-ist MASSIVE!!! I mean the first ardcore jungle/drill n base was heard in early 90s. |

its really hard to say who started it all, I would say afxs started one of the styles with his HAB and Luke started one style and Tom started one style (each got their own style) and everyone bited eachother and build on eachother style, inspiration etc etc Like its impossible to say who invented drillnbase. |
