We have a brand new takeover month here on Sonic Academy, and this time we are taking on the gritty, hard-hitting, bass-heavy, wub-filled world of Drum and Bass!
We deep dive into all things DnB related, from creating the characteristic beats, designing epic bass lines, making a DnB classic from start to finish, and understanding the all the essential elements of DnB music you need to know!
We’ll also be chatting with some big names in the genre, such as Freaks and Geeks, and Shapes, to get an insight into the world of DnB and any tips and tricks they have for up-and-coming producers.
