Like most music, I have a love/hate relationship with DRUM N BASS which I seem to remember hearing early on (on my FM radio mini-boombox) in Southeast London - perhaps 1996 (oh yes...) but more probably 1997 with the pirate/daytime DRUM N BASS channels and incessant Cockney rapping by any number of DJs and rappers and local slang comedians who would secretly set up their systems anywhere between Bexleyheath and Lewisham and Woolwich.
DRUM N BASS has always been the potential GREAT SALVATION for modern music, but has never really lived up to it's early reputation - hijacked by Talvin Singh and this guy (Goldie) to great effect, but what's happened since? Lots of Honda commercials and between inning music at baseball games....and endless ugly permissions for mash-ups...Jesus Christ!
