Pieced together using original interviews conducted with all the scene's main players, it traces the history of jungle\/drum \u0026amp; bass from its early roots in sound system culture and rave music right through to the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith its hyperspeed breakbeats, warping bass pressure, and vast spectrum of sounds, drum \u0026amp; bass quickly 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, influencing all other electronic music genres in assorted ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the shock of the new to a global phenomenon, drum \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; Storm, Photek, Fabio \u0026amp; Grooverider, and many more renegade mavericks–even, at one point, David Bowie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith vivid descriptions of key tracks and a detailed lineage of the scene's development, \u003cem\u003eRenegade Snares\u003c\/em\u003e 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607492542700,"sku":"9781911036791","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/b7608531f10f77c0182e595f5e539dd2.jpg?v=1778188999"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/carl-loben.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
