Darkstep. Hardstep. Hardstep (not to be confused with Hard D'n'B or the more recent Drum and Bass/Hardstyle known as Drumstyle) is a subgenre of Drum and bass which emerged in 1994. [1] It is characterised by a gritty production style, that has an inner-city feel to it.

Liquid funk (alternatively, liquid drum & bass, liquid DnB or liquid) is a sub-genre of drum and bass.

History[edit] Ragga jungle. Ragga jungle is a genre of music that emerged circa 1989-1990 and was initially heavily based on production of Michael West (Rebel MC, Congo Natty Label).
Early pioneers of the genre also include Lennie De Ice, DJ Dextrous, Remarc, MBeat and Ragga Twins. The style is credited with engaging the black community within the jungle scene, and contributed to the 'bad boy' or 'rude boy' subculture within the UK. Ragga jungle's popularity waned significantly since 1995 in the UK, in part because the more popular DJs have stopped giving the sound airtime. There was a large amount of rudeboy/guntalk reggae being produced at that time which influenced the ragga jungle sound greatly. Sambass.

Style, CJ Bolland, Richie Hawtin and others.
This scene existed briefly from approximately 1989-1993, a period of cross-pollination with the UK hardcore sound. This darker, more aggressive sound appealed to many in the dancehall and reggae communities. Early pioneers[edit] Congo Natty aka Rebel MC. Drum and bass.
