Obscure Genres : Neurofunk

So Neurofunk. The name is kinda weird. This is a more  darker sounding subgenre of drum and bass electronic music. It started around 97 in London and got its name from critics saying it sounded like funk but done differently thus neurofunk.

It's close relatives in my opinion are jungle,  darkstep and intelligent.

The music is good it's kinda like jump up dim and bass but without that usual bum tat dida dida bum tat and more unusual usually more like a bum bump bump doot... doot... do da bum bum bum blat... blat.. blat dut dut. You probably can't really understand that but that's what it's kinda like as best as I can put it in a blog.

They usually use a dark gritty bass stab as the synth melody to a track and emphasize it with the drum and bass kicks and snares and what not usually a serene soundscape for the breaks and build up then they drop dirty neurofunk style basslines that emphasize darkness and a feeling of sudden anxiety after being in a happy place. That's what it's like to me and that's definitely interesting and artistic in my book. I enjoy it. I made a mix of mostly spor he's a producer spor is actually just the name for his drum and bass projects his name is really Jon Gooch. But anyways I made a mix you can listen to it it's neurofunk.
