hailed for their drum and bass track the

the best drum and bass tracks of all

quality drum and bass tunes as solo

number five Nero
this electronic trio burst out on to the
electronic scene in 2004 but didn’t see
any major success until 2006 with their
hard drum and bass EP Requiem
while they have had many successful
releases since then most notably
promises whose remix by Skrillex won a
Grammy its Nero’s awesome high-speed
Drum & Bass that earns the number five
spot on our list with a killer release

anticipated 2015 album entitled between
two worlds Nero is currently one of the
biggest names in the industry

singles in the mid-2000s

many feeds from remix in many mainstream
artists to releasing multiple top 20
hits while he is relatively new in

to churn out classic drum and bass tunes
number three Dillinger if you are a fan
of drum and bass you must be familiar
with Dillinger this man is responsible
for many of our own drum and bass
classics such as silver blade and twist
them out Dillinger is not just a
producer however as longtime
collaborator lemon D and himself formed
record label valve recordings he didn’t
stop there as they later developed the
valve sound system to assist future
producers it could be argued that with
his massive amount of releases which
adds up to over 500 since 1991 that he
could be the most prolific drum and bass
artist but we’ll leave that up to you
number two pendulum
this Australian British group who
infused hard rock with drum and bass are
without a doubt one of the biggest names
in the genre

and out of the ashes we were given Rob’s
wires Project knife party we still crave
a pendulum reunion we can dream right

few honorable mentions

a trio of drum and bass producers from
Netherlands have undoubtedly released
some of the best tracks of the genre
although they have explored other
electronic genres such as a lecher house
