Liquid funk, liquid drum & bass, liquid DnB, melodic drum & bass, or sometimes just liquid is a subgenre of drum and bass. While it uses similar basslines and bar layouts to other styles, it contains fewer bar-oriented samples and more instrumental layers (both synthesized and natural), harmonies, melodies and ambiance, producing a sentimental atmosphere directed at home listeners as well as nightclub and rave audiences. Music genres such as jazz, soul and sometimes blues have a pivotal influence on liquid funk.[2]
History
Origins
In 1999,
Liquid funk is very similar to intelligent drum and bass and atmospheric drum and bass, but has subtle differences.
Continued growth
Liquid music continued its growth from 2006–2009,[7] with a rise of artists such as Eveson, Alix Perez, Zero T, Lenzman, Spectrasoul, Electrosoul System and Physical illusion to name a few. Like the Liquid preceding it, it came predominantly from the UK. These artists tended to steer away from the Amens and 808's and brought new sounds to the drum and bass scene.[citation needed]
On 1 October 2007,
Liquicity emerged as a YouTube channel in 2008, after 2011 gradually growing out to become a record label and events promoter for new liquid DnB artists, especially in the Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom.[8]
