The No.1 website for musicians
After the dark, techy moodiness of millennial DnB, there was always gonna be a reaction. The uplifting musicality of Liquid proved to be exactly that
Originally coined by Fabio for his 2001 Creative Source compilation, Liquid funk, the term became a catch-all name for the kind of DnB produced by artists such as Calibre, Marky & XRS and High Contrast on labels such as Hospital, Intercom, Soul;R and, of course, Creative Source.
Typified by the heavy use of instrument and vocal samples from funk, soul, disco and house sitting atop a backbone of strong layered beats and warm, solid bass, Liquid hit its peak around 2003, but is still championed by artists such as Eveson in his souled-out productions.
LTJ Bukem: A drum ‘n’ bass DJ and producer whose fame and music reaches beyond the boundaries of just drum ‘n’ bass, Bukem was responsible for incredible tracks such as Horizons and Atlantis and the Logical Progression and Earth projects. His Good Looking empire has recently sprung back to life with a raft of new signings.
