@lemmy.worldI originally posted it on Reddit a couple years back and people rated it a lot. I decided to share it here as well.
Jungle [early 90s-present] - the genre that predates dnb and laid foundations for the genre. It ranges between 160-168 BPM and focuses on rearranged and chopped breakbeats sampled from funk and soul records. The rhythm is often much more complex as opposed to dnb which mostly features 2-step pattern (snares hitting on 2 and 4). Basslines are usually assembled out of 808 kicks. The tracks frequently feature old rave synths as well as dub and reggae samples since the genre partially originates from soundsystem culture. // EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE2
Neurofunk/Neuro [early 00s-present] - focuses on hefty, substantially filtered and usually distorted basslines. Over the years, the subgenre gradually became much heavier and focused on midrange bass than in early days. In the last decade the scene started putting emphasis on perfecting technical side of production, which wasn't prioritized in the past as much. The subgenre originates from UK but it quickly found fanbase in eastern Europe and Russia. Most of current generation's artists are based in these areas. // EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE2
Crossbreed/Hardcore dnb [mid 00s-present] - uses loud, distorted kicks known from hardcore techno, the style is very aggressive. Depending of the artist, the tracks can focus more either on hardcore or dnb aesthetic as there is no set rule which genre "should" be favoured. It features distinctive "crossbreed snares" characterized by tonal, metallic sound. Collaborations between crossbreed and neuro artists and labels featuring both subgenres aren't uncommon sight. The style originates from Netherlands. // EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE2
Halftime [early 00s-present] - this subgenre is most confusing as it's divided between a couple of branches unrelated to each other that happened to start shaping in same time period. To describe it most vaguely, two-bar drum patterns in halftime have only one snare (or in some cases none at all) instead of two like in all other dnb subgenres. I listed three most common interpretations that are based off that idea, althrough please note there might be more of them.
