Drum 'n' Bass: The Rough GuideRough Guides, 1999 - 377 pages Extrait de l'introduction : "The Rough Guide to Drum 'n' Bass follows the path of the breakbeat after its arrival on British shores and its subsequent recirculation throughout the world via genres like Jungle, Drum 'n' Bass, Hardcore Techno, Trip-Hop/Down Tempo and Big Beat. Originally the part of late '60s/early '70s records where all the instruments would drop out except for the drums, which would continue the groove rather than solo, the breakbeat formed the foundation of the early hip-hop records (when it was still largely the provenance of guys with "two turntables and a microphone") and of the records made when hip-hop was largely created by the sampler. Now generally defined as almost any rhythm that is not in 4/4 tempo, the breakbeat has become the building block of what is considered the first specifically British strain of dance music, Jungle, and later the crucial aspect of other British mutations of hip-hop - Big Beat and Trip-Hop."
