D 'N' B (Drum and Bass)

[Brenda Lester]

My son, the DJ Psyence, calls it "drum n' bass." Others are "techno," "trance," "house (music)," "breakbeat," "ambient," "trip-hop," "acid jazz," "funky breaks," "nu-school breaks," "jungle," ragga," to name a few. He said, "Mom, it would take me forever to name the all the genres and subgenres."

I have never heard my brother, DJ Phantom, a drum 'n' bass DJ of some renown in
London (UK) drum 'n' bass circles, call it "D 'n' B". Of course, it may just
be that he doesn't use what he would think of as a more technical or opaque
term when talking to non-specialists; but I've never come across the
abbreviation, I don't think, even on the flyers for his gigs, which are always
in London, or on the website of the radio station where he broadcasts.

Listen to him at

- I think he has a regular show early on Monday mornings UK time (midnight to
2am), which means 7pm to 9pm Sunday EST, etc.
