Drill n bass

Drill n bass is a type of electronic music that emerged from drum n bass in the mid-1990s. Record producers like Aphex Twin, Luke Vibert and Squarepusher helped originate the sound, which had emerged with some popular success by 1995 (see 1995 in music). The popularity was short-lived, however, and the style had become mostly underground again by 1998 (see 1998 in music).

Much of the energy from the drill scene made its way into the newly-forming IDM scene that accompanied the rise and fall of Drill's popularity. Pop music, especially hip hop and RnB also borrowed from Drill's unique and powerful drum sensibility.
