Against Drum and Bass
Drops where Drum and Bass usually drops — 9% of the way in.
11 sections here; 9 is typical.
Drawn from the 13 records on our Drum and Bass list we have measured. The line over the energy curve above is that median.
Measured from the YouTube master on . Section labels describe how the energy of the recording moves, not its musical form — a machine can see loudness climb and jump, it cannot hear a chorus arrive. Anything we were not confident enough to state is left out rather than shown with a caveat.
Ranked No. 8 in Drum and Bass
Dillinja's bass weight is the reference standard, and this is the track where the sub stops being an accompaniment and becomes the lead instrument.
