About

Grew out of UK breakbeat hardcore and jungle around 1993–95, when producers chopped the Amen break harder and pushed sub-bass to the front at 170–175 BPM. Goldie's Timeless (1995), LTJ Bukem's Logical Progression and Roni Size's Mercury-winning New Forms (1997) carried it from pirate radio into the mainstream.
